The articles by Phil and the article by Waypoint where they stand by him got nuked.

Valens admits in the article they applied to VAllure Gen1 and got turned down by the way. I commented previously about how I thought the whole reason Valens was writing all these articles was because of a previous rejection from VAllure...
Apparently I misread - in the "Elephant" article she says that her alleged application/audition is a rumor started by "some right winger". She says "[she] refused to audition" because she couldn't get clarity on their exact stance on the trans issue despite reaching out to VAllure twice about the issue and receiving no answer...

So to amend my thoughts, I think they didn't answer you because they're not idiots and didn't want to risk a lawsuit or something by telling you "no" and I think you didn't audition despite you clearly being very clearly interested in what they do because if you got rejected and they came with receipts about it after all this drama, they'd basically just have free reign to say you're slandering them for playground-tier clique drama.

Also I'm unsurprised they took the articles down. It is absolutely crazy that they basically argued for going after sponsorships with the 2nd to last sentence in the "Waypoint Stands With Ana Valens" article:
So, rather than engaging them personally, you engage the forces funding and feeding their nonsense.
And then proceeded to publish that article. "We're going to try to keep making you look bad to advertisers if you keep disagreeing with our ideology" is just scum thinking.
 
I didn't think they would fold at all, and boy did they fold quick. I hope Phil shares his rage with the Bluesky.
It wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't even the letter that did it, but the dug up tweets about Phil's pedophilia. There's a lot of things they can excuse but that's not one of them, especially with Phil constantly producing questionable porn articles.

The probably are waiting to see if they can calm down the storm by pulling the articles. I just hope those VTubbers have major autism and keeps circling back.

Well, they haven't nuked his stash of "buy this porn game" articles, so I guess they're keeping him. Glad I archived them this morning though.
 
Great, now VAllure should C&D the article that started this mess, and everyone that attacked Kirsche (and anyone else that went to defend them) should publicly apologize as well, as optimistic as that sounds.

Twitter/X really proving itself to have the absolute worst userbase.
 
man i absolutely fucking love when the demons crawl back into the holes they crawled out of when threatened with consequences. bet your ass if that was simply emailed they wouldn't have done a damn thing about it, but having someone hand-deliver it always gets the point across

fuck you phil. i normally bounce in and out of troon threads when happenings come and go, but this time i'm here forever. keep paying to have your personal information wiped from all the popular dox sources, eventually they'll miss one
 
https://muckrack.com/ana-valens/articles (archive)

This Muckrack archive conveniently has all of the articles since "Uh Oh. Waypoint Hired Giantess VTuber Ana Valens", and a generic VTuber for idiots article on another site just before that. The records of the removed articles may be cached on Muckrack forever, but I'm not sure.

I'm wondering if the retraction was done by Vice or by Phil himself. Usually I would expect parasites like this to dig their heels in until they get what they wanted.
I can't see it being Phil's decision.

Ok im going to clarify this, the entire industry pretty much do what hololive does, the entire playbook is written by them even when everyone dont want to admit it, the trans question was answered a long time ago by Cover to troons that did not want to become Holostar (the male branch) it was stated that no biological male will ever be a Hololive, period, thing that make seethe people to this day

We have received confirmation that western companies do it out of courtesy (like weaseling "female enough" clauses) but is just that, a formality to make troons not seethe about the corpo, no troon will ever be on a serious corpo, there was a attempt by Nijisanji (FtM tho) and she exploded so hard that Niji refused to experiment with it again

Just send a horde of Kirsche cosplayers to these people's houses with legal action.
 
But wait... The article is no longer found! Did jackbooted nazi thugs storm this bastion of free press?
No, turns out his ass just got dragged (repeatedly) on Bluesky and so he deleted the article in a rage.

Funny part is that judging from that first thread you linked to, the article seems to have only come to Bluesky's attention because of Ana's bullshit. People really have to learn not to hire troons.

And what is this in another one of the links? A sensible Bluesky thread? Hold me, I'm scared.

Is the last screenshot in the tweet an annotation by Phil?

I’m not surprised to find this out about any tranny or man whose life revolves around fetish content and sex. My surprise is that these tweets were public for so long and it doesn’t seem that anyone noticed.

You might be underestimating how much identity protection transwomen had until recently. In the past they really were able to get away with this shit just by screeching "transphobia" at anyone who pointed out they were creepy sex offenders. Ana just hasn't caught up to the new reality yet.

POCD flunks the second requirement, their behaviors or mental acts are clearly connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to neutralize or prevent. They listed behaviors such as "avoiding taking jobs involving children". This is clearly connected to the ego-dystonic thoughts and are a realistic way to prevent harm.

You're misreading the criteria again, which is what happens when one LARPs as a psychiatrist online. This paragraph is talking about compulsive actions in particular, not the general behavior of someone with OCD. People with OCD take "realistic" steps to try to prevent their intrusive thoughts all the time, as anyone would. Doing realistic things isn't disqualifying, it's just not enough to get an OCD diagnosis: you have to also be doing unrealistic things for that.

(In any case, the "listed behaviors" you're referring to came from a screenshot from random site called "treatmyocd.com," which probably should not be used as an official source about any disorder.)

The most significant criteria that POCD fails is the last one, which is necessary for a diagnosis of OCD:

You're still not grasping that intrusive sexual thoughts (which disgust the person experiencing them rather than arousing them) are not sexual fantasies. Just like someone having flashbacks about being raped is not having a sexual fantasy. Intrusive thoughts are not "fantasies." Do you think someone with OCD obsessively washing their hands because they think they'll get MRSA from touching a hand towel is "fantasizing" about getting MRSA?

That's just a journal article, is it not part of accepted diagnostic criteria nor guidelines. Further, it is not listed anywhere in the section of the DSM-5-TR under OCD.

And yet the APA allows psychiatrists to post diagnostics of it all over their own PsycNet site. Don't they realize that someone online just scientifically proved it didn't exist after skimming a description of OCD for ten seconds? You better write to them, quick!
