I stand against sexual assault.
I'm in a difficult situation, and I ask for your patience and understanding as I share a personal experience that has deeply affected me. False allegations about me have been spreading online, wild and unchecked. I feel it's important to address these rumors directly.
These allegations, as hurtful as they are baseless, were born in the shadowy corners of an anonymous Tumblr account. A source hidden behind the veil of anonymity and lacking in both names and identifying information, leaving me grappling with the unknown - the faceless accuser who brought these untruths into the world. It is a deeply unsettling feeling, knowing that your reputation is being tarnished by forces unseen and unknown.
The issue became more serious when an individual put their name to one of these false accusations. While it was a shock, it also presented an opportunity for me to defend my innocence. I was able to provide video evidence that unequivocally proved these claims were untrue.
I want to be clear about something: I stand firmly against sexual assault. It's a vile act that I find utterly repugnant, and I have never committed such an act.
Navigating through this ordeal has been a struggle, but it's also reinforced my belief in the importance of understanding, empathy, and kindness, especially in a digital world where rumors can spread unchecked. I share my experience not to garner sympathy, but to underscore the profound impact of misinformation on an individual's life.
I've decided to turn a negative situation into a positive by using my voice to advocate for domestic violence victims, victims of sexual assault, and marginalized members of the anime community.
In my blog posts, you will find discussions about these issues, my thoughts, and the actions I am taking to support these causes which include donating my own money directly to these causes, promoting advocacy through our events, and writing policies and procedures that keep our community safe and inclusive for everyone.

Here are the facts.
Never arrested or investigated for rape.I've faced false allegations online that have no basis in truth. The roots of these claims trace back to an anonymous Tumblr account, and I have proven my innocence with video evidence. Any suggestion to the contrary is demonstrably false, and I have been pursuing legal action to this end. Any article or post alleging otherwise is demonstrably false, and I have been suing to prove this.
Never accused of pedophilia.
The accusation of pedophilia is baseless and utterly abhorrent. I strongly condemn any form of sexual misconduct, particularly involving minors. The safety and wellbeing of participants at my events are my top priorities. I am appalled at how casually such a serious accusation can be thrown around in today's climate.
Not being sued by anyone.
My focus has been on taking legal action against those who have defamed me. No one is suing me, simply because the allegations are without merit and mostly anonymous.
Standing with Women and Against Sexual Assault
As much as this is about defending my own name, it's also about standing up for what I believe in. I have always been, and will always be, a staunch advocate for women's rights. I am wholeheartedly against any form of sexual assault and have consistently worked to ensure our conventions are safe, inclusive, and respectful spaces.Over the years, I've made charitable contributions to organizations that support survivors of sexual assault and work towards gender equality. In sharing my experience, I hope not just to clear my name, but also to emphasize the importance of due process, truth, and kindness in our interactions.
