I went down the rabbit hole a bit on Ray K and I guess the main reason he's like that is because he believes the west ruins anything Japan makes and didn't want the west to ruin his work. Plus he is mad that people have made art of Sylvie mainly because they never get the scars right or they age her up. Dude is crazy while I want to say he should be happy people are playing his game, I understand he's just crazy and really racist.
I just had to read his ci-en post to find out what he thinks and that guy is batshit crazy.
Here is a translated version of his post (Translated with GPT 4o):
The Reason Behind Opening This Account
You don't need to read this if you're not interested, but since the content of my posts won't be typical public works, I thought it would be appropriate to explain the reasons here.
This explanation goes back a few years, so it might get lengthy, but I'll keep it as concise as possible.
[Why I Started Countermeasures Against Reposting and Twitter Isolationism]
A few years ago, after pirated versions of my game began circulating in a certain overseas region, accounts in that language sphere started popping up, primarily sharing announcements of pirated versions of my works and reposting my illustrations.
Additionally, people began modifying my illustrations or altering my games and presenting them as their own creations. Some even went as far as to machine-translate nearly all my tweets and illustrations and continuously repost them.
As a result, I started receiving a flood of follows, replies, and likes every day from these accounts and their followers, making it difficult to simply ignore the situation. To address this, I added a "no reposting" note to my profile and blocked malicious accounts and their followers.
However, even after nearly a year, the reposting, modifications, and piracy showed no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, I began receiving frequent criticism and harassment from that language sphere.
This situation negatively impacted my mental health and my creative activities, so in June 2021, I locked my account and switched to a policy of selectively approving follow requests only from accounts with no ties to reposting activities and a clear record of legitimate activity.
I also began overlaying "no reposting" disclaimers on my publicly shared illustrations. After nearly two years of these measures, the situation finally settled down, bringing us to the present.
[Twitter's Policy Changes and Their Impact]
As those who use Twitter regularly might already know, the platform has undergone a series of rapid policy changes since the change in its CEO. Starting in June 2023, it became impossible to review the follower/following history of accounts other than your own.
On top of this, limits were imposed on the number of accounts you could view and the number of tweets you could scroll through within a certain period.
These changes have made it significantly harder to verify the follow history and activity period of users who send follow requests, complicating the process of identifying suspicious accounts. Consequently, the threshold for approving follow requests has risen even higher.
[Opening Ci-en]
Given the current situation, where my activities outside of Twitter have been scaled down due to the reposting issues, it's not ideal to lock down the only platform where I can engage consistently.
However, I also cannot afford to take risks that might undo the environment I've worked two years to stabilize on Twitter.
As a compromise, I decided to provide fans who wish to follow my activities with an alternative option. With the additional intent of testing whether a paywall could act as a filter against malicious users, I chose to open a support site and share part of my activities there.
If reposting occurs within the aforementioned community or if demand turns out to be minimal, there is a chance I might close it down relatively quickly. For now, I'll proceed cautiously and adjust based on how things unfold.
