Sigh. Here i am making another statement. I wanted to talk about LuLuYam and the current situations that have been going on. NONE of this is to directly attack or insult anybody, not Yam, not the fans, fanbase, anyone. I just wanted to talk about the disappointment I feel just in general. Anything I’m going to say has been me reading LuLuYam’s posts on twitter/X. None of this is personal information, she has stated these things publicly.
LuLuYam has been one if my biggest inspirations, with her work, I feel I have gotten mentally stronger, and feel that I have gotten better at art, and just more stable with her music, and it’s just exciting to hear she posts things. But the current situation that is happening is just disappointing.
If you don’t know, Flarlick has been making NSFW type avatars on VRC (virtual reality chat, otherwise known as Vr Chat.). LuLuYam never allowed any of this to happen, and the only association she had with this person was being friends with one of their exes, and being friends with somebody else at the time that isn’t her friend anymore now. People have been accusing her of having relations with Flarlick, and have been harassing her, saying she did give permission to Flarlick to do these things when she never did.
My disappointment is just up high, because, everybody in other fandoms always wonder why their creator’s step back, or why they quit in general. The answer is simple: so many types of cyberbullying and harassment.
If you don’t know already by youtube video LuLuYam posted, Yam is stepping back. She has stated she was going to continue her work, music, art, etc, but she has stated that she isn’t going to be the one controlling her social medias, and will be giving the accounts to people she trusts. She stated that she found herself snapping at fans and doing things she knows she shouldn’t do, so she stepped back to focus on herself and make it so she was focusing on her mental health, and not becoming emotional when talking to fans after doing something stressful.
I LOVED LuLuYam with all my heart, and it just hurts to see people in the community do stuff like this, and do things creators don’t want them to do. I hate it. Again, I’ve practically been a Yam supporter since day 1, and I remember when she was at the minimum of only 20k subscribers on YouTube. She’s grown so much, so has her fanbase, and then they go and ruin it, like most popular fandoms do.
I want to say this again, this isn’t meant to target anyone, not Yam, not Flarlick, even if they did some shitty stuff, and not the fanbase/fans. I’ll even admit myself that I probably did some annoying things towards Yam, I’m not perfect as a person, and I’m not saying that I am better than the entire fanbase for supporting Yam at her early stages and not being a menace. I’ll even go out and say I AM a menace, yes, I annoy people, shocker. But everything I did was NOT intentional, such as Flarlick’s actions. But I don’t want anything I say to be rude or offensive, even if I come off as such.
As an ending statement, I’m just disappointed. I wish Yam a better future, and for her work to get even better as the years go by, and as her Number One Fan (in a joking manner, though I wish it were true) I wish Yam the best of luck, and I’ll really miss you, even if you do keep producing.
