If you don’t know who Tora V4 is, he is a popular western Vocaloid cover artist/Youtuber that has over 100k subs. They live in the Netherlands, are 22 years old and they go by Mars causally. They have a controversial reputation in the vocal synth community because they were toxic and bigoted and stole from others a lot in 2018 to early 2021 to put it lightly, everyone hated them for a bit but switched up later with the loud minority still hating them. Though they seem to have grown from their past, it’s hard trust and believe people can “grow” from pedophilia, especially when they purposefully lie and sweep it under the rug because they know they’ll be cancelled for it and refuse to take accountability even after multiple people call them out. You can’t call out people you personally dislike for shota things, but defend, allow and consume it openly for so long and pretend you’re not worse than those who actually apologized?

I’m not calling them a pedo, I’m simply posting this because it’s sad so little actually understand the full context.

Vito situation:

This situation happened around 2019. Basically Vitobrac/Solarflareguy was Tora’s friend and at the time he was 15. This comment explains what happened, that “fucked up user” is Vito.

Tora denied a tweet that used this YT comment as evidence, but it’s true.

Tora, Vito and friends admitting to what “doesn’t exist”:

Essentially everything Hiedra said was true.

(*cropped for obvious reasons)

This could’ve been avoided if he wasn’t dumb enough to have NSFW channels in an all ages server or to let a kid get hold of the NSFW role.

Camp Buddy:

Tora was obsessed with a R18 VN called Camp Buddy, in 2019 and 2020 he posted about it a lot. Despite the artist Mikkoukun and fans claiming they’re just 18 year old twinks, you can’t deny these dudes are shotabait in some way which is extra weird considering the Vito thing. They literally go to a summer camp that feels the same as the ones for middle schoolers and definitely not adults and they dress like boy scouts. Mikkou calls their characters shota and you can tell which characters are drawn/made as adults and children regardless of “canon” ages just watch the OP..

He even named himself PKAkatora after his most loved character in it Taiga Akatora (this red haired red eyed dude). 

(*he only censored the penis so I still had to crop but I don’t want to mislead people to think he posted the full thing, still weird to post though)

(Taiga is apparently 19, that’s like the gross “legal loli” thing just for boys)

Some disagree and say shota isn’t shota if the characters are “canonically” adults, and Tora was one of those people, but they still just look like 13 year old boys who work out and the “all characters are 18+″ disclaimer is just a really bad cover up.

Even if he’s changed, does that make what he did remotely acceptable for a 19+ year old and not creepy? Does it make lying to avoid responsibility okay? Did he even do the bare minimum and apologize? No. If he really changed and felt bad I wouldn’t have to make this post for the very slight chance people care enough to link/repost it. If he genuinely felt bad, he wouldn’t have to lie and hide his past so hard.
