> Inugami Korone takes a break to detox from the internet. Basically, she wants to touch some grass. A small drama took place before this though. A thai fan sent a superchat but Korone didn't read it. He sent another to complain but used Google Translate, resulting in it sounding way worse in Japanese than he meant it to. People attacked him for it. He talked to Korone's dedicated fan subbers to explan the situation and a majority of the fans made peace with it and accepted it. Then some fucking assholes and twitter idiots tried to intensify the drama by saying she only reads superchats from her biggest donors and etc. The thai guy in question starts getting associated with these twitter antis and he gets harrassed by everyone.
