“Your antics are a nuisance, so cut it out please”. Otaku and their shenanigans have triggered a very forthright response from 榊原ゆい/Yui Sakakibara (prolific seiyuu for many famous eroge), or Yui-nyan, clearly not one to put up with any nonsense, or take it lying down as some of her compatriots do.
Yui-nyan is not just vocal, she is positively verbose in her lengthy harangue of the otaku involved in オタ芸, “ota-gei”, otaku performances, the maniacal and frequently disorderly disruptions which seem to be favoured by the most extreme seiyuu fanatics.
She has this to say: “Wouldn’t you be out the door if you tried that sort of thing at a major artist’s performance? … Think just because you’re otaku you can get away with this sort of thing?”, as well as a lot more in a very lengthy blog post.
The act she takes particular umbrage at was the throwing of a light-stick onto the stage, responding at the time in no uncertain terms: “Absolutely no throwing! It’s dangerous, I’ll stop the show!”.
Nice to see an assertive attitude taken by a seiyuu, but can she keep her unruly fans under heel? Via 2ch.
Hot, Yui! This kind of domination gives me a boner.
fans are fans, its up to the mangers to make sure their clients are safe.. if the venues arent safe the celebs stop going, the celebs stop going the fans get upset.. so listen wisely, keep the homo-retard-ism to the fapp-age you do at home..
make it a fun place to those who really try to pay homage to the celebs up there, w/e they are.
if you can’t behave don’t go out.
jeez
Hells yeah <3
”Yiu-nyan takes s♥♥t from no one otakus!”
Yui*
I’m so proud of her <3
