Blew up in JP twitter but a summary:
>artist love Vspo! girls
>Vspo! is a vtuber agency managed by Brave Group JP
>artist decides to "contribute" to the community
>generate/draw spicy art of the talents
>post on Twitter, Pixiv, Discord
>start Patreon tier for "exclusive" spicy content
>making decent pocket money
>suddenly Brave group lawyers show up
>they somehow dox and sue the artist
>demand 10 million yen (65k USD) in damages
>also delete everything, apologize, never do it again
>artist panics
>settles out of court
>has to pay 4 million yen (26k USD) immediately
>fun fact: that's more than the artist ever made from the art
>remaining 6 million forgiven because artist was "sincere"
>tfw Vspo! has zero tolerance for R18 unlike Hololive/Nijisanji
>tfw artist learned the hard way that monetizing VSPO! girl lewds can bankrupt you
I wonder if uma musume ever did something similar considering they have the same restrictive TOS against spicy content.
