A Ukrainian robotic evacuation vehicle equipped with an armored capsule successfully rescued a wounded soldier from a frontline position.
During the extraction, the vehicle struck two mines on its return route. Despite the blasts, the armored capsule protected the wounded serviceman from shrapnel, allowing the mission to be completed successfully. The soldier was evacuated and transferred for further medical treatment.
Mission: • Duration: 2h 13m • Distance covered: 36.5 km • Average speed: 15 km/h • Top speed: 70 km/h
I normally stay out of drama like this, but after watching everything surrounding OffKai, Fansly, and lewdtubers, I feel like a lot of this conversation has lost its nuance.
I genuinely do not believe this is entirely about protecting minors. I think for a lot of people this has become a proxy for frustration with the rise of lewd content in the VTuber space and a way to openly shame adult creators.
And look people are allowed to dislike the direction parts of the scene have gone. That is a valid opinion to have.
But let’s stop pretending this convention is being marketed as some unrestricted porn expo where children are being exposed to explicit sexual content.
OffKai has never been an 18+ only event. It never claimed to be. At the same time, minors cannot simply walk in without parental/legal guardian consent. Ages 13–17 require signed permission, either notarized or completed in person by a parent or guardian.
That means this is not a children’s space. It is primarily an adult convention space that allows minors to attend with parental consent while still separating 18+ content from general areas.
There is also a major difference between:
- adult creators existing at a convention
- suggestive branding or marketing
- explicit material being publicly displayed
- and actual sexual conduct
People keep collapsing all of those things into one emotionally charged argument.
And honestly, some of the replies I’ve seen have gone far beyond concern for minors and straight into degrading, misogynistic, and hateful rhetoric toward lewdtubers in general.
What also confuses me is that anime and cosplay convention culture has had revealing cosplays, ecchi art, hentai vendors, body pillows, adult artist alleys, and 18+ sections for YEARS. Suggestive cosplay and fanservice have existed in convention spaces for a very long time.
So I think it’s fair to ask, what exactly is the difference now?
Because to me, this feels less like people suddenly discovering conventions can contain adult themes, and more like frustration toward the increasing visibility of lewdtubers specifically.
At the end of the day, VTubers are overwhelmingly adults. Some make SFW content. Some make NSFW content. Some do both. None of us are perfect, and we do not all have to create the same kind of content to coexist in the same community.
You do not have to support lewd creators.
You do not have to consume their content.
But openly dehumanizing people because they make adult content is not helping anything either.
