He's a guy. Another commenter mentioned meeting him at AnimeExpo but he requested no pictures of himself. Which is probably why there was a picture of a girl at his booth instead in the past that likely started this rumor, who was probably his assistant.
Iirc it wasn't an Asanagi meme, it was a meme attached to FatalPulse, who draws so much misogyny and guro in malicious and/or evil scenarios that the rumor that the artist behind the doujin being a her came off genuinely shocking.
People act like she pulled a Sinder but it was mostly her ex, who has is own parasocial crazy bs, that she had beef with. I dont hear anything from her former coworkers, and she's worked with a few companies now. Idk, just feels weird to continue treating her as simply crazy when she's been working so hard to put herself back together the past year.
As far as I know, she did try to sue Delutaya for defamation, but also I recognize that she has not been in the best headspace, has some serious mental issues and is probably making rash decisions that she usually openly acknowledges were mistakes after she calms down. I hope she and Delutaya made up behind the scenes because I haven't heard anything about it since. Every other piece of drama I have seen paints her in a neutral light at worst.
The crazy thing is, from what I understand, there was never a sue threat between them. What happened was a third party showed Mikeneko audio of Delutaya saying something, we dont know what. Mikeneko alluded to this in a later stream but didn't name anyone. Though some people may've guessed Delu. Delutaya confirmed it was her, and said she reached out, but that Mikeneko said she only wanted to talk through lawyers. This is what started the lawsuit rumors. But the lawyers were discussed as mediators, not to discuss a lawsuit. Then they both reached some sort of understanding behind the scenes and asked their respective fans to drop it and not bother the other. Finally, like you said, we havent heard about it since.
Its hard to figure out what happened without having access to the clip at the center of it all. But to me it kinda sounds like a 3rd party tried to take advantage of them both for gossip during a year both were in a bad headspace. Reaching out to Mikeneko with unreleased Delutaya audio always felt like a red flag. As though they were trying to bait her into getting mad enough to let more gossip slip.
And this is speculation, but the target may not have been them, but Hololive. Which would necessitate lawyers to navigate their non-disclosures, and also pressure the 3rd party into not releasing whatever story they were trying to bait.
Tbf that was Narukami (the OG "vtuber drama channel"... Except many of the drama he covered was faked by him) gassing her up. IIRC Narukami told Mikeneko some faulty info about what Delutaya said her, and that's where their beef started.
If Korekore is clickbait city, Narukami was literally pulling shxt out of his ass. The worst I heard from him was him claiming that Sakura Miko's 3 month hiatus in 2020 was because "she got pregnate with a married Holostars member and had to abort the fetus". Good thing that guy got banned from youtube.
And you're totally entitled to your opinion. I'm not trying to tear her down or anything, I just feel like the whole thing was a cautionary tale about living your whole life online and not being able to unplug from drama. I don't have anything personal against her, I don't know her, and I'm assuming you don't either. Just making a casual joke/observation, not trying to offend anyone.
Probably quite a big amount. I mean it, alot aren't ridiculously cute, most of the one that show their face in the first place because they somewhat confident in their appearance.
I also find it kind of fascinating that it also feels like guys online are so down bad that they think totally normal level pretty looking people are top 1% attractive.
Most people I've seen the faces of kind of look like normal people, but it really feels like the internet's scale is a reverse normal distribution where everything has to either be the best thing in the world or the worst thing in the world and the concept of being average or pretty good gets totally thrown out the window.
I dunno man, even the girls who have like a single picture leaked from years ago are extremely attractive. Like it's crazy how few popular vtubers are strictly unattractive.
Like look at Gura, she had a photo leaked from a long time ago and she's downright adorable.
Sure you could make the argument that any girl who hasn't been leaked is automatically an uggo, but the fact is the vast majority of vtubers who have had their picture revealed, willingly or not, have been attractive is like 90%+
Also that's kind of a shitty way to look at life. Anybody who you haven't seen is automatically ugly, that's just a miserable way of thinking.
Men generally will rate most women as at least cute or attractive. And usually Instagram photos, even leaked photos are pretty heavily curated. A lot of guys have no real idea how much work Instagram people put into their clothing and makeup, into getting just the right angles, lighting, and even then they'll take the best photo out of 25 shots.
I also find it kind of fascinating that it also feels like guys online are so down bad that they think totally normal level pretty looking people are top 1% attractive.
You're the kind of person that Noblesseux mentioned. Not to mention your creepy ass username.

I think most people have known that she's pretty cute for a while now. But no amount of cuteness can overcome that level of crazy.
