Update on recent events
🕑 Added 2023-08-28 16:57:21 +0000 UTCI just want to say my deepest thanks to you all. Everyone’s warm and kind messages meant so much to me.
When the hate messages first started showing up on my timeline and in my replies, I went into a state of shock. It hurts so much to see people spreading lies about me and telling me to die, and I kept having vivid dreams about it. I don’t understand why anyone would say things like I condone abuse… The reason I stopped making acrylic keychains at my previous printshop (Japan has strict laws on defamation which even can cover some news reporting, so I have to be vague...) was because I learned the owner had been allegedly grooming minors. I detest people like that....
I had an abusive adult in my life in the past. I’ve seen some others describe making artwork as a way to vent, but for me I think I don’t even connect those events with what I make in the first place. I understand not everyone thinks the same way, and some people will never accept this, but I don’t understand why people can so casually tell me I should die.
I really do not want people who are disturbed by my work to view it at all. There are some things which I hate to see in fiction just because of the immediate visceral reaction it gives me, and I don’t want people to to feel that either. I intend my work to be for healthy people who can understand that what villains do shouldn’t be emulated, and won’t personally feel bad from viewing my works either. I do want to tag triggering material work in more detail for the future, though. In my past games, I think people ignored them because my warnings were too general...
Seeing everyone’s supporting messages really pulled me out of a dark place.😢 I’m sorry for doubting you, it was just so hard to think anyone out there supported me amid all the horrible messages—I was wrong.
I’m still feeling up and down, but I’m now in a much better place. I feel like I really owe it to you all to release an English version of my games in the future as well. I want to take back my statement about banning English translations, but I also think that it might be a bad idea to publicly say this for a while because I’m still getting many cruel messages. I’m worried it might trigger more hate, so I’d like to wait until the people harassing me have moved on. Until then, I appreciate all the kind messages!!💖 A single hate message means a lot less when it’s drowned out by your kind ones ...🙏💕
Also, I’m sorry that some of you seem to have been accidentally blocked. I can’t understand English without translation software, and slang with complex grammar, irony, and sarcasm can translate poorly. If possible, it would mean a lot if you could check automatic translation before sending me messages to make sure they aren’t going to get misunderstood!
I also am thrilled by all the wonderful art you have been making! I was so touched that you would do so much to cheer me up, I can’t thank you all enough... 😭💕

Thank you friend
I’ve only just started supporting you through patreon today, and seeing as this message is late I am unsure if you’ll see it. But I fully support you as you are a genuinely kind person that doesn’t deserve any of the hate messages that you get. Please try to ignore the trolls on the internet that say that type of stuff to you, and know that other people care about you!

I am really sorry you went through that. I doubt it will stop soon enough but I do hope people realize what they have done is really wrong on many levels. I have been playing your games since I was a teenager, and always have been into the things you create for the simple reason I enjoy the gore kind of content in fiction, and think it is fun to see villains being villains too ! You are a very big inspiration to me and you always have been. I really only wish you the best moving forward and know you have my support as well on your side.

We’re always here for you funa-sensei! I’m very sorry that the hate comments had triggered you!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! People can be cruel, it's true. They write without thinking, especially if they get together in a group, which is easy to do on the Internet. Things will calm down soon and everything will be fine. I'm really glad that the worst moment is in the past. You've created a wonderful, supportive fandom, and that's wonderful. Joining was one of the best decisions I've made, especially since last year was difficult for me, and here I regained my balance. I will always appreciate that as well as your work. <3
