Key information
Hololive talent La+ Darkness recently addressed sexual harassment from viewers on X, sparking debate over her phrasing. On October 20, parent company COVER Corporation confirmed that the talent had been subjected to repeated instances of individuals sending unsolicited images of male genitalia to her private accounts.
La+ Darkness explained that while she engages in suggestive humor with female peers and colleagues, such interactions rely on established personal relationships. She argued that the dynamic between a streamer and a viewer does not grant the latter permission to engage in sexual harassment, noting that receiving such content from strangers is distressing.
While some users supported her stance on boundaries, others criticized her specific word choices as insensitive. COVER acknowledged that the original post lacked sufficient consideration for the audience's perspective. Following internal guidance, La+ Darkness apologized for the inflammatory language, clarifying that her intent was to prevent others from experiencing similar harassment.
COVER maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment and malicious behavior. The company is currently consulting with police and pursuing legal measures to address the incidents. They have urged the public to refrain from harassment and to utilize official reporting channels rather than engaging directly with the talent.
