Yugo
announced he is taking a one week hiatus as a result of criticism for his handling of the earthquake stream.

I was extremely vexed by this so I had to do some Yugo egosurfing to figure out what people were saying. It seems some Japanese didn't like the fact that Yugo's tone wasn't serious enough, and that he was laughing at some things chat was saying (even though none of it pertained to the earthquake).
Others, however, have criticised the critics, stating that Yugo translating swathes of information into English has invaluably helped/saved/prepared Japan-based foreign nationals who are not accustomed to natural disasters and didn't grow up with mitigation training.
Overall, though, there wasn't exactly a 'backlash'. None of the comments I read on either side were malignant, and there wasn't all that many of them.
