Hey, where’s Vesper though?
from what Altare was saying yesterday in his membership stream "probably beginning or middle of next week" is when he'll be back.

EN version of statement from Niji here (archive)

Joint Statement
December 5, 2022
ANYCOLOR Inc.
COVER Corporation
Thank you very much as always for your incredible support of the virtual livers and talents that are
affiliated with both ANYCOLOR Inc. and COVER Corporation.

On a daily basis, we greatly appreciate that everyone is enjoying the various content that we provide
and how everyone has continued to warmly support us since our companies began our VTuber
businesses.

However, on the other hand, we condemn the fact that the reputation or trust of virtual livers and
talents that are affiliated with our companies are being unnecessarily tarnished, and we truly regret
that acts of defamation and the like are being committed by certain individuals with the intention of
unjustly interfering with VTuber activities.

These acts of defamation are being anonymously carried out in a carefree manner on internet forums,
social media and the like. Such acts are harming the emotions and mental state of affiliated virtual
livers and talents, are placing them in a situation to make it difficult to conduct their activities and,
furthermore, are ruining their lives.

Therefore, we are striving to protect affiliated virtual livers and talents from these heartless acts of
defamation and the like. We have, thus far, held a firm position on these matters and have been
engaging in public awareness campaigns and various strategies so that our fans can comfortably enjoy
the various content that we provide. Going forward, while implementing these countermeasures, we
intend to go even further by cooperating with other companies in accordance with the circumstances
and matters at hand and intend to work vigorously to eradicate acts of defamation.

Specifically, with respect to acts of defamation, infringement of privacy rights, infringement of
goodwill by acts such as “trolling,” and attacks such as death threats, stalking acts and the like that are
committed against affiliated virtual livers and talents, we will be sharing know-how to execute the
countermeasures discussed above, working together on various other countermeasures, which includes
taking legal action (related to cases where affiliated virtual livers/ talents of both companies are being
victimized), and structuring a system where we can work together with the police and other companies.

Note: From October 2022 to November 2022, we have worked together to negotiate with the operators
of certain, so-called “summary sites” that we have determined to have posted information that
tarnishes the reputation or trust of our affiliated virtual livers and talents. We are moving towards
entering into a settlement agreement with such operators that will take the form of having certain
conditions to ensure that the rights of affiliated virtual livers and talents cannot be infringed and that
any acts to assist with defamation and the like will no longer occur.

By the two companies working together this time around and going forward to carry out various
countermeasures, we have taken a great step forward toward creating an environment where affiliated
virtual livers and talents can comfortably engage in their activities. We will continue to endeavor in
strengthening these procedures and engage in various countermeasures.

We appreciate your continued support going forward.

What'll this mean for the Virtual Asylum?
will depend on if anyone goes complaining to the higher ups on that end but a downside that site will always struggle with is not having someone like Josh holding the controls and flipping the middle finger to irrelevant and impotent legal threats.

I imagine it won't go well if a complaint were put in because they answer to Xenforo TOS over there don't they?

That said I doubt they'll ever be noticed on that level, I doubt here will even see a complaint from this.

Can't wait for Cover + Anycolor to launch a LOLsuit against Jersh. :story:
Is pure PR, check the replies some people believed it was about Vesper and others are commenting how useless this is considering almost all the antis operate outside of Japan jurisdiction
 
Cover and Anycolor now going to work together to take antis to court.
I have a really strong distaste for companies that abuse defamation lawsuits to create a chilling effect. Note that they can't win a defamation lawsuit for a truthful or opinionated statement outside Japan, but they sure as hell can file a lawsuit anyway and fuck someone's entire life up by forcing them to defend it.

This feels like a timeloop, anyway, I could've sworn Anycolor already released a statement just like this last year and then did sweet fuck all about it because really, what are you going to do, track down and sue literally every dipshit who says mean things about your talents? Adding Cover Corp to the mix isn't going to help matters, information on the Internet flows like rain and putting up a second umbrella won't stop it from falling.

I seriously doubt this will change too much.
