Kevin is probably quite because him trying to make people believe they made stuff up about the abuse when there is actual proof is killing the little followers he has on insta. Last time I looked he was over 3400 and now he is exactly just that number and it’s only gonna get lower..

That and the fact he's the only one with stable income. They love to talk about how Lori is the breadwinner with her OF but for some reason Kev still has to work IRL. As for other possible reasons; his page has slowly just become obligatory "flexing my girlfriend" posts and hypebeast stuff. No doubt old followers and cosplay friends of his are jumping ship now. His feed used to be consistent, higher quality photos and WIP updates that people liked to see. You can track the progress of their relationship just from his content shift. One week it was BNHA shoots and props, then after that it was all DITF and Lori-centric posts whether it be photos of her, them together or just a photo of him with a caption about Lori. She sucked him into her larp, spit him out once she got enough clout to start thotting and now he doesn't even know what he wants to do with his life. It's almost sad until you remember Kevin is retarded as fuck and just as shallow.
What now? Where do they go from here? The other cow models on KF ended up doing sex work, either sad porn like Momo or farting on cakes for feeders like Tess. She's going to have to do *something* to keep her johns on OF interested in her when there's so many other younger models putting out more varied and interesting content.
My money is on her being forced into actual porn. It's the same pipeline Moo was pushed through (with some Crisco and a battering ram.) Teasing people and flashing nip only gets you so far, simps will start unsubscribing if she doesn't do simulated/real PIV at LEAST. Then after that, it's all downhill. Lori will most likely start doing fetish stuff dressed as anime lolis. Shit, she'll probably start skinwalking Moo too with how much she hyper fixates on the lump. If we thought Moo was the nastiest costhot, I don't want to know how low Lori is going to sink. I can already picture the creepy loli POV's with her forcing a squeaky uwu voice and doing the cat vomit face...
She has also claimed to make her costumes when they were bought. It's generally a faux pas to enter a store bought costume in cosplay costume contests because it's mostly judged on craftsmanship and not how close you actually look to the character.

She has also claimed to make her costumes when they were bought. It's generally a faux pas to enter a store bought costume in cosplay costume contests because it's mostly judged on craftsmanship and not how close you actually look to the character.
It depends what convention you go to. If I'm not mistaken, most cons put the masquerade (performance) and craftsmanship (making the costume) together. However, if your convention has masquerade and craftsmanship SEPERATED, you can perform in the masquerade wearing a a store bought costume no problem since they would be judging your performance/skit.
Another big no-no in the world of cosplay is sand banging which is essentially winning a MAJOR award (think 3rd 2nd 1st place or best in show etc.) and re-entering that costume again. At my local con at least, to avoid sandbagging, they have a rule that you need to make MAJOR adjustments to your costume if you wish to re-enter it for craftsmanship. I suppose that is fair, but to me that's still kinda sketchy.
Do people really think she's 'lolibaiting'? No need to make more awful shit up, yes she tries to appear younger but I don't see her sucking on pacifiers and hitting up the DDLG crowd, she's just peddling her expired ass as an e-girl with the appropriate shite J-fash. Bitch looks like pastel paralysis demon and moves like she's tweaked out, she isn't remotely childlike.

Everything discussed in this post is alleged. This is a sensitive yet important subject to cover to fully understand Lori's character. No charges were ever filed and I'm not aware of any primary documents currently available that are related to these alleged events. The initial LiveJournal posts by people involved have since been lost to the pixels of time. As with most information about Lori's past, she has proved to be an unreliable narrator and details about these alleged incidents are fragmented. Fortunately, there are some secondary references and memories from which to piece the story together. This archive of fandom_wank on LiveJournal is a helpful source: [LINK].
A big consideration when making a thread about Lori was and is the well-being of her many victims. I hope this can bring some healing and closure rather than retraumatization to them. Due to the sensitive subject matter, I won't identify the victims. If you know who they are, please respect their privacy and refrain from naming them here. Regarding this alleged incident, here are the nicknames used to protect the victims' privacy:
-Victim E: She was a 16-year-old Sailor Moon cosplayer who looked up to Lori as a cosplay senpai (master). Luis, Lori's second husband, got the minor drunk and raped her. When Victim E asked for help, Lori laughed in her face and encouraged her to commit suicide.
-Victim C: She was an older teenager and member of the Sailor Moon cosplay group. While C was likely not a minor at the time, it's necessary to note that she reportedly had special needs including developmental delays that 1) impaired her ability to navigate the world and 2) made her seem younger than her chronological age. Lori abandoned her in Baltimore and she spent most of the night alone and lost in the city.
THE ALLEGED EVENTS
INTRO: As I understand it, the alleged incidents happened between 2002 to 2004 at Otakon, an annual summer anime convention held in Baltimore, Maryland at the time. Lori was reportedly a legal adult at the time as was her 2nd husband Luis, who was nearly 10 years older than her. Lori, Luis, and a group of Sailor Moon cosplayers attended Otakon. The other cosplayers were teenagers and some of them were minors. Prior to Otakon, Lori befriended these younger cosplayers and presented herself as friendly, sweet, and quirky. Many of them looked up to Lori as a cosplay idol.
LJ User Twisk:"Plus, it looks as if she [Lori] initially presented as sweet, friendly, warm, needy, and a bit fragile - perhaps victimized by other people who had cruelly and inexplicably turned against her (i.e., who had finally had enough). That may even be how Lori sees herself - as someone who needs other people to take care of her, because she's unusually sensitive and delicate. Sociopaths are often charming - it's glib, superficial charm, but they wouldn't bother to turn it on if it didn't work more than not. Their irresponsibility can look cute and funny. Their selfishness can look like serenity - as if they've found a wisdom that has freed them from the need to please people. This may be part of how Lori sees herself - as a lively, fun-to-be-with person who brings other folks out of their shells - someone who can talk to anyone and make them feel privileged to have her take an interest in them. How you feel about yourself often influences how others feel about you, and if Lori feels that she's overwhelming special, she may communicate that insensibly to those around her. People who feel entitled to more than their share of the attention and consideration of others usually get it - more's the pity. I wonder if the people she leeches from don't at first feel that helping her is good deed - with her neediness making them feel strong and capable. Later, she may try to make them feel guilty if they want to stop being hosts."
Anon LJ User:"coming from someone in the group this is exactly what happened"
khamryn: "FYI, Lori tends to choose friends that are too meek to stand up for themselves. One of my good friends would have been in that house with Michiru, Ender, and Haruka if I hadn't said he shouldn't... and his mom finally put her foot down and said no."
Anon LJ User: "Exactly. People with her disorder, yes disorder, know how to manipulate, and who to manipulate. I don't know which mental malady this Kou girl has, but she sounds like a card carrying sociopath with some kind of narcissistic personality disorder. Sociopaths like her know how to fuck with people. She needs medication and a padded cell for a while. I just hope that as she gets older she doesn't graduate to getting others to kill for her."
khamryn: "::Nods.:: o_O Woah that is a scary thought... I hope she doesn't as well."
LORI THE TYRANT: Luis, Lori, and the teenage cosplayers who idolized the legendary Usagi Kou all traveled together to Otakon via Luis and Lori's car. Unsurprisingly, it sounds like Lori was her usual dictatorial self at the con. While dragging the Sailor Moon cosplay group around the convention all day, Lori insisted that food and water breaks were prohibited. She even forbade her cosplay group from holding water bottles as it would "ruin" pictures. Victim E later fell ill with bronchitis and believed this grueling experience with Lori was the cause. Victim C had a mishap with her costume and was not able to dress up with the group. Therefore, Lori refused to let Victim C be in any pictures, made her walk separately from them, and appointed her as the group's pack mule to carry their bags, run errands on their behalf, and bear the brunt of Lori's hideous attitude.
"I can understand why no one stood up to her [Lori]. They were in a group. From everything we've read, Lori's brilliant at putting together groups and keeping iron control over them, and the larger the group, the harder it is to take action when something goes wrong"
- Anon LJ User
"I noticed it was gone [Victim E's public post] too, now I wish I'd saved it as well. Summary: Introduces herself to the audience as the girl who Luis, Lori / Usagi Kou's former husband (fiance at the time, I think) cheated on Lori with. Explains how she met Lori, went cosplaying with Lori at Otakon for the first time, with some others including a mentally disabled girl [Victim C]. Lori was a big bitch and dragged the cosplay ground around, depriving them of food and water breaks (now I'm wondering about potty breaks), and not allowing them to even carry water bottles because it would ruin the pictures. This contributed to Victim E getting bronchitis.
Later, Luis and Victim E are left along in the hotel room while Lori and some others go out to find someone, I think it might have been the disabled girl (problems with her as well - Lori treated her badly, made her go alone somewhere after she forgot her costume, I forget the details). Anyway, Luis offers her a drink, at first she refuses, eventually gives in, has too many drinks, and Luis rapes her.
When Lori and company come back, Lori gets really pissed off at Luis and Victim E. Victim E, having just been raped, is really upset, and takes a bottle of pills, with Lori watching over her to ensure she took every last one. We never learn the physical effects of the pill, although we can surmise that it didn't kill her. Lori and Luis (at least) speed off leaving the others stranded at the con. Victim E refuses to give back the costume that Lori left. Hell, I would too. I may have remembered some details incorrectly, but that's the basic gist of it."
- LJ User gweniveeve
THE ABANDONMENT: At some point, Lori decided that she didn't want to be seen with Victim C and instructed other members of the cosplay group to abandon her in the city of Baltimore at night. Victim E was friends with Victim C but felt intimidated by Lori and complied with her demands. The group knew that Victim C had some special needs and, alone in the city, she soon became lost.
"Oh, some more stuff that previous person didn't put in: Lori made the disabled girl [Victim C] walk alone at Otakon because she wasn't in costume or something like that, said they'll meet up later. So when they went back to the room (Lori completely forgetting about the disabled girl), girl [Victim E] was worried about disabled girl and after a while finally got Lori to look for her. The girl stayed behind in case disabled girl got to the room before others could find her. And in the comments she did describe the effects of the pills. Basically vomiting, dizziness and the like. I think her friends carried her around until she met another friend at Otakon that let them stay in their room. Afterwards Lori tried to make her pay for the hotel room and return the costumes they paid for."
- Anon LJ User
"Oh Christ. I haven't really been 'involved' in any way up till now, except that I sort of know [redacted] and I've met batshit Usagi Kou once or twice but my GOD. Victim C (the girl with the slight mental problem) is a dear friend of mine and she's one of the sweetest people in the entire universe. I cannot imagine someone being that deliberately and willfully mean to her. It wouldn't be like kicking a puppy, it would be like MAULING it. And of course what happened to the poster [Victim E] is just sick. This is getting completely sick."
- LJ User
"Excluding that, leaving a mildly retarded girl [Victim C] alone in a strange city late at night is beyond redeemable. I feel for the poster [Victim E] in that, but I wonder did they ever call the cops? File a complaint? Someone needs to go to jail, and how.
- Anon LJ User
THE SEXUAL ASSAULT: When Lori's cosplay group returned to the hotel, Victim E became concerned that Victim C had not returned to the room. Realizing that she may be lost in the city, Victim E plead with Lori to make a search party and look for her. Lori, who had earlier forgotten that Victim C existed, begrudgingly agreed. Lori and the other Sailor Moon cosplayers left the hotel to look for Victim C. Victim E stayed behind with Luis in case Victim C returned to the hotel while Lori and the cosplayers looked for her. It's theorized that the teenagers may have chosen to leave Victim E behind at the hotel because they feared that Lori would lock them out of the room if they all left.
With only Luis and 16-year-old Victim E in the room, he plied her with alcohol. Victim E refused at first but eventually had a few drinks. Luis then allegedly raped her. When Lori and the other cosplayers returned to the hotel room, Lori became furious with Luis and Victim E. Victim E was understandably traumatized and incredibly upset. When she told Lori that Luis had raped her, Lori allegedly laughed in her face. Then, Lori allegedly encouraged Victim E to commit suicide with alcohol and over the counter pain medication. Lori supposedly watched over Victim E as she swallowed the pills to ensure she took all of them.
At this point, the story gets a bit murkier. It's understood that Lori and Luis quickly fled from the con via car and left the teenagers stranded. However, there are contradictory accounts of whether Lori kicked the teens out of the hotel room or if the teens took Victim E to seek help. Unfortunately, the teenagers decided to seek out other friends instead of take Victim E to the hospital or notify an adult. Victim E reportedly experienced dizziness and vomiting after ingesting the pain medication and alcohol. After finding a friend with extra space in their hotel room, Victim E was eventually taken to the hospital and thankfully survived the horrible ordeal.
After Otakon, Lori allegedly demanded that the teenagers 1) pay for the hotel room and 2) return all of Lori's Sailor Moon costumes that they paid for. Victim E refuses to give back the costume that Lori left behind in the hotel room as she and Luis fled the scene of the alleged crime.
"What the fuck. That stunned cunt [Lori] actually laughed in the face of someone her stupidass fucktoy [Luis] RAPED? And encouraged her to suicide? AND HER FRIENDS DIDN'T TAKE HER TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL."
- LJ User feenix
"Well, there's always the fear that Usa [Lori] and Luis would have locked the girls out of the room for the rest of the night / con, and Victim C coming back, if she did to the room, to two strangers, one of whom mistreated her might have been enough to scare her off, or subject her to more abuse. I mean, yeah, Victim E did make some bad judgment calls, but she wasn't clear on her actions and why she did what she did staying behind in the room with Luis (or why Luis didn't go with the little group to look for Victim C)... And when you're suffering from a case of teenageitis and depression to boot, judgment isn't always operating in the higher levels of the brain. Besides, NONE of this means she caused her own rape or that Luis had the right to get a minor drunk and then rape her." - LJ User fandom_bitch
"Well... this alleged incident was a few years ago. I believe the girl [Victim E] was 16 at the time and this being the case (and based on the fact that she was so weak-willed that she let Lori run all over her in the first place), frankly I would be surprised if she had reported it [the rape]. I think I remember her stating in her journal entry or comments that she wished she had reported it, but she didn't and it's too late after years transpired and she has no evidence. You could be right and she could be making it up, but I don't believe it's impossible that her story could be mostly true."
- Anon LJ User
PUBLIC REACTION TO ALLEGATIONS AND TESTIMONIALS: In 2005, Victim E made a public LiveJournal post detailing her assault by Luis and traumatic experience with Lori. She noted that "severe depression" rendered her unable to advocate for her friend Victim C. As more information about the alleged events became public, members of the cosplay and weeb communities were shocked. By 2005, it was well-known that Lori was a batshit crazy skinwalker but her sociopathic actions toward Victim C and Victim E horrified other cosplayers.
"You know... I feel bad for her [Victim E] but I am not surprised by the events she relates. It is obvious to me at least that this Usagi girl looks for people just like this girl. She looks for people (of all ages probably) who are naive, trusting, lonely and probably desperate for friends. Which to this bitch = easy to manipulate and control. She seeks them out, latches on to them, and then proceeds to fuck them sideways with a rusty shovel. When that gets boring or the victim wises up, she moves on to the next sucker. It is sad but unfortunately not anything new or even anything this girl invented. As for how to prevent it, well there is always another sucker… so I doubt there really is way. As for this exact situation… it should all be shouldered by the parents. They should certainly pay more attention to what their underage kids are doing on the internet and who they are meeting / making relationships with. Seriously it seems like the circumstances of this whole wank from beginning to end has its roots in a whole gaggle of foolish, gullible, lonely and therefore easy to manipulate people. Sad but true and quiet common… hell just watch Jerry Springer or Dr. Phil, unfortunately shit like this is a dime a dozen." - LJ User kami
"Well, no, you shouldn't, but when you're 16, naive and depressed and being horribly verbally abused after you've been raped by someone who is engaged to one of your hotel roommates, well, it's not like you're thinking very clearly, eh? What surprises me is that no one thought to get this girl immediately to a hospital once they got rid of Luis and Lori to get her stomach pumped. I mean, they packed up their stuff and wandered around looking for crash space instead of getting the hell to a hospital. Right, what did I just say about 16, naive, etc.?"

LORI'S RESPONSE TO THE ALLEGATIONS: To my knowledge, Lori has never directly addressed the allegations regarding the con rape and suicide attempt until recently. After Victim E publically shared her traumatic experience at Otakon, Lori made one public LiveJournal post vaguely referencing it:
"theres only one person i need to fix things with, everyone else will come in secend. thats why i dont feel the need to make a post really. it only concerns one person and it got blown out of perportion, but im fine with that and i understand why, but hey, shit happens neh. but once things get fixed there ill think about the rest i guess."
- Lori (Age: 20)
POSSIBLE CONFIRMATION: As discussed in a previous post, this recent comment on Lolcow.farm reeks of Lori, Kevin, or an old Kou. To my knowledge, Lori has never directly addressed the allegations regarding the con rape and suicide attempt until now. Therefore, this is possibly the first direct yet unofficial acknowledgement from Lori that the alleged incidents did indeed happen.
"Inb4 “omg she told “C” to kill herself” That was 17 years ago and while Lori was in an abusive relationship with a MUCH older man when she was still an idiot teen. She had made a vague, half assed apology publicly about this. It’s appears she does have some semblance of empathy." - LoriKevin Anon
Lori wants people to forgive and forget how she treated Victim C and Victim E just because it allegedly happened in the past? No, it doesn't work like that. Just because Lori herself was in a toxic relationship is not a reason for her (or anyone) to hurt others - that's an "abuse excuse" and abuse excusers can go fuck themselves. In addition, her half-assed response at the time was frighteningly void of any empathy or remorse. As Lori herself said in 2007: "If...you mean forget your transgressions, then no. I dont give chances anymore... Every action has a reaction, deal with it now."
You said it yourself, Lori. Your actions have reactions so deal with it now.
RAPE AS A JOKE AND A BLACKMAIL THREAT: In the past, Lori has used the subject of rape as a lighthearted punchline when discussing how attractive she is and as potential blackmail against Kevin. This makes the allegations against Lori and Luis even more disturbing.
“...mails from deviantart and i don't feel like explaining what happened since the poor ugly kid isnt worth much of my time, but if you guys feel like contributing and complaining feel free psssst Avian... go bitch her out D: ... and crissy, since you had some fun e-mails with her you might want to forward them over to devart [DeviantArt] XD lets see if they get as many lols as we did.
im Irish… why am i not out getting drunk… WHY?! because, i cant even go out on a regular day without men being all “mmmm” -_- so what am i going to do in a bar…. on like… the biggest drunken day ever… yeaaaaa. your friends can only block you from ugly eyes for so long X_x. MAMO-FACE! come play so i can get drunk with no worries of rape... no wait… POINTLESS!... id get raped anyways…” - Lori
"By the way. Lori is my bubi. I love her, that's why I'm with her. I just like everything about her. Is that so wrong? I've only removed and filtered people holding unnaturally long grudges against her, or people who I know are talking behind my back. People who haven't interacted with me in over a year or refuse to support me but remain lurkers.
Lori does not threaten to accuse me of 'rape.'Any screenshot you've seen if out of context completely not how things are.I've said mean things.Shes said mean things.I'd go into great detail about our bedroom life but no one wants that. Get over it. My job in Seattle sucked and I hated it, that was the main reason I left. I did not feel safe there at all. I felt my life was in danger there. That's all I'm going to say.
Lori does so many sweet things for me on the daily that no one sees, no internet brownie points, just because she loves me. And I do the same for her. Sometimes with all our friends it's hard to because most of her peeps are far away now. Shes doing her best and she's honestly amazing and beautiful in every way " - Kevin

Well, I take that back then. Obligatory armchair, if she's truly into age regression, she's really shit at it and can't help but be a turbo aggressive psycho who wields her sexuality like it's a weapon if she doesn't get her way.
I took a look at her instagram and noticed that you didn't need to scroll far in order to see how different she looked when she was using a different editing program. The new pics don't look like her at all, the older ones vaguely look like her.
Older pic which shows her concave sternum more clearly
Newer pic, but shows her poor editing and a very irritated eye.
She has also claimed to make her costumes when they were bought. It's generally a faux pas to enter a store bought costume in cosplay costume contests because it's mostly judged on craftsmanship and not how close you actually look to the character.
Rave Wonderland: I wonder how long that Rave Wonderland collaboration that @faggot fuckercovered will last. Some of the newer comments on Lori's video are pretty fantastic.
A still from the scary (and now deleted due to customer demand) Lori video. View attachment 2009704
A wave of negative responses to Lori's video on IG prompted Rave Wonderland to delete the post. Much to her chagrin, Rave Wonderland then made a promotional post featuring a plus sized model and, due to her long history of body-shaming and lookist bullying, Lori must be seething.
"Lol I love it when I piss off the 'big' girls so they send their room mate and like, 2 incels, to attack. Not liking someone because of your jealousy doesnt give you the right to bully them. Now you gonna learn." - Lori
God damn. Imagine being such a degenerate that not even the Kandi Kidz of 2021 want anything to do with you.
You could make the argument (and you would be wrong, but-) that it's just the cosplay scene being extremely petty, catty, and elitist, so that's why she's getting bullied. Because they're just jealous. But...holy fuck. You managed to even repulse the most braindead of wooks, with nothing but photos of you and whispers of a controversial past. You didn't even get a hate tweet from Deadmau5 first to make them start hating you.
Honestly, Lori. I'm almost impressed.

To be fair, I feel that even a jellyfish would be disgusted and scared by a 35 year old expired dollar store Belle Delphine trying to advertise clothes.
Man, this is some kind of surreal. I remember reading about Usagi Kou back in the early days of Encyclopedia Dramatica. Got my lulz and moved on. Now it turns out that not only is she back, she never went away. Just kept on doing the same thing, over and over again, while people her age have careers and families now ... It'd be depressing if she wasn't such a lunatic.
There's a weird sort of exchange that happens as a cosplayer ages. Your body changes and you can't be a cute young thing skating by on looks any more, but you also have more skill and available income to spend on your hobby. (If you've been sensible, that is. YMMV.) If the cosplayer never had much in the way of looks, this is when they can really come into their own, as they finally have the experience and savvy to build really complicated and crazy stuff. Wearable puppets, optical illusions, transforming costumes, etc.
But Lori hasn't picked up much in the way of new skills, and she isn't prepared to adapt to changing looks in any way except via filter abuse. Her cosplay never matured.
Things are probably going to get very difficult for her in the next few years.
