Okayu got cancelled when she was only 12 yrs 

sounds like some people who need to touch grass lol

No wonder she can laugh anything off and not have many complaints about her fans. She was already hardened from losers without anything better to do than micro-manage someone's blog activity.

Its funny to imagine that those people could be following her now and realizing what they've done to a frickin 12 y.o years later lol

Poor Okayun, her honest nature was used and abused. I remember those days though...

Thank you for another translation!

Finding other people's alts from just the writing is crazy

Man, Japanese internet is not for amateurs. You always hear about ruthlessness like that going around over there.

Guarantee the person in question is an adult and unemployed

Okayu is such a nice person😭💜 Even the internet reality is harsh

Was it ruthless? Of course; were they unemployed basement dwellers? Oh definitely

Running a fanfic site is interesting lol. I haven't done it myself.

What a bunch of control freaks 😂

but internet in its early day is crazy. since theres no filter, almost no rule and no separation between clear, grey and dark, all kind of people hanging out in the same place and do whatever they want. but its fun tho, since you can discuss basically anything.

for what its worth, "self-insert" is a pretty close translation term for fanfiction she described

Meanwhile in America people just respond with profanities and slurs 😂 A response to criticism would have been “faq off my blog!”

Thanks for the JP subs too it really helps give me some reading and listening practice at the same time

I wholeheartedly hate people who act like there's some mysterious unspoken internet etiquette. Like redditors who'll verbally abuse you if you use emojis on reddit.

Ochudyu

Man, people are jerks Couldn’t just let Smol Okayu have fun

Dang, my 1st internet interaction was during junior high. Am I older than Okayu perhaps?

This is a Cromartie skit lol

Poor Okayu

The internet is such a soul crushing place, it’s sad how often children spend their time sitting down indoors staring at a little rectangle, hours and hours daily, instead of playing outside, meeting new friends, having fun, getting exercise. Internet has been a positive for “the economy” but what the hell is that worth when so many innocent individual lives are negatively affected by it. It must be even worse in Japan in such a strict etiquette driven society with a high population density and millions of city dwellers. Sigh such a fked up world we live in. We have so many “creature comforts” but are people really happy? Doesn’t seem like it

Ye olde internet is definitely harsh, but it crafted this "you need to have thick skin to survive" mentality that just isn't present in today's coddled era. Back then you'd think twice about posting anything for the myriad of fallout that could happen from it. Now people don't think about any consequences and just sperg out when met with the littlest of criticisms

A channel dedicated to my favourite cat's chats. Found a gem

did she make her own website, like developed and hosted it as a 6th grader??

"2chan-like forum" well there's the problem right there!
