Reply to myself cause I found her twitch cause its bunny_gif... her twitch is super sexual; one of her emotes is literally a pair of panties. There is no lack of clarity on what angle she is marketing her appeal. To suggest this tame conversation was offensive to her is frankly a joke. Her whole persona is to draw in…

Apparently that’s victim blaming in this case, because god forbid some people be adults in situations. This entire thing comes off more as cringe awkwardness then it does genuine harassment. I can’t tell her how to feel, and that’s never going to be my place (nor should it), but come on now, this guys now news because…

I read the headline and was like “Oh...” and then I saw it’s about BunnyAyu and I will take this whole thing with a huge grain of salt.

What?

She never told him his comments were making him uncomfortable and he wasn’t doing anything too inflammatory to begin with. This is a non-issue.

Man, Bunny sure does have a strange threshold for what’s considered letting the world know about. The entire exchange read like an awkward and intrusive questionnaire triggered by an equally awkward comment, but it was hardly anything newsworthy.

You could be right. He might have been flirting. It just seems like the worst possible way of going about it. If I want to have sex with someone, I probably won’t act like a condescending asshole who criticizes her occupation.

It is entirely relevant. The legal system is supposed to be the only way to enact punishments on civilians for violating social contracts (i.e. laws). When you seek to enact punishment for perceived violations without using the legal system, you are bypassing the legal system. Let me break it down further for clarity:

In my experience, Zaimont was very sarcastic and condescending. If he wanted to insult you, he would do so in the exact manner shown in his conversation with Bunny. He would ask questions or make passive-aggressive observations intended to undermine your confidence in your own ability and self-worth. In this case, he…

I’m not sure what the issue is. “Bypass the legal system” refers to avoiding the legal system. That’s what you do when you want to punish someone who hasn’t actually committed any crimes. Hence the “punish people for perceived transgressions.” As I’ve stated repeatedly, the punishment isn’t enforced by the law.…

I agree. However, I don’t see this as flirting. I see this as Zaimont confronting Bunny about her occupation and questioning her merits as a streamer. I actually agree with his general sentiment but his methods leave something to be desired. You may disagree with how someone makes their money but that doesn’t mean you…

Alright. You’re ridiculous and I’m done with you.

Geez.

No, you pretending you don’t understand metaphorical language is not me being confused, it’s you pretending to be “cute”. Unless you actually DONT understand metaphorical language in which case you’re just uneducated. Wait till sixth grade, you’re going to love it. Your world is about to open up immeasurably.

Either you are preciously naive or you are playing dumb. People lose their jobs for sexual harassment and this accusation is coming off a week of similar accusations leading to people being fired. That is the inextricable context under which this conversation is taking place.

I couldn’t agree more with you. This is absurd. And shame on Kotaku for sensationalizing this. What a joke.

And his conversation was inappropriate... how exactly? It’s not like he sent a dick pic or even solicited nudes from her. This is called flirting, people. If it makes you uncomfortable, then stop talking to other people.

No, he is just a weird guy writing weird stuff. That’s not “text speak’. He’s just writing weird things.

False. If she was uncomfortable, SHE should have walked away. He was just being himself. They don’t work together. There is no professional relationship here. Being weird is not a crime.

These are some “first date” style questions. I don’t see blatant harassment, but I guess you could infer that it’s coming from a place of mock interest and may have devolved from there.

I don’t know what to think. I guess I was expecting way worse. Which says a lot about the massive shift we’ve had in recent times,…
