The police have found a basis for charges and will apparently also be contacting Riot Games\u2019 administration about the incident. Touka is entering preparations to hire an attorney and take legal measures.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The VTuber explains that she decided to turn to the police because the abusers made statements desecrating the death of another creator and encouraging Touka to commit suicide.&nbsp;In a video she provided, a male individual can be heard making remarks such as, \u201cHurry up and kill yourself\u201d and \u201cShut up, hang yourself.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By taking the case to the police, Yowamushi Touka hopes to contribute towards reducing the prevalence of abuse and threats made online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Female Japanese VTuber Yowamushi Touka will be pressing charges after becoming victim of harassment, including being told to hang herself, during her Valorant livestream. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":26510,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-26507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
