This is an announcement in response to recent events. A person in this fandom who goes by their pen name Lalazee has been spreading some really damaging lies, rumors, and false accusations with no evidence to their claims after some of the most heavily followed KatsuDeku blogs helped expose their friends that run the Akogare Zine for cyberbullying and harassment.
Despite all of the rumors theyâve spread floating around, please think before you consider believing Lalazee and their friends because itâs quite easy for them to use their influence and popularity in the fandom to persuade people; and when they still havenât backed up all of their statements weeks after being asked to provide evidence.
Donât blindly follow people or be quick to believe something someone says without questioning the legitimacy. Especially if they canât even bother to provide proof. Lalazee and her friends are even asking people not to follow the KatsuDeku blogs that helped spread their recent expose as an attempt at damage control to cover up and redirect the negative attention they and the Akogare Zine recently received.Â
Theyâll even bring up the great debate over fan translations that they bullied someone over when they themselves translated and used the doujinshi of Ritukometubu among other artists without their permission to promote their Akogare Zine.

The âwe translate for freeâ excuse that they keep using to cover and excuse themselves doesnât even hold up when theyâre just using their translations to promote their for-profit zine to get money in the end.
Theyâre even trying to pin the blame on someone taking their discord down out of spite when it actually got taken down because they were caught posting images of pedophilia, rape, beastiality, and child pornography on their KatsuDeku discord server full of adults when there were minors in it.

And OH would you look at that in the screenshots, the main runner of the Akogare Zine, Vivie a.k.a. cookiebeans and one of Lalazeeâs friends, is one of the main people who got off to this sick stuff since they contributed to posting so much of it. Like sorry Lalazee, but if your friends didnât want their discord server to get reported and taken down, then maybe you guys shouldnât have been posting these disturbing images in the first place? Especially when there are minors in your server full of adults because thats really gross and concerning? Donât know why you guys are trying to use someone else as a scapegoat when it was your own fault.

Lalazee even went so far as to throw an accusation for something as serious as spreading hate speech when no one ever discriminated or attacked anyone for their race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Lalazee dismissed the efforts of another writer in the fandom by claiming theyâre taking the credit of a writer theyâre collaborating with when both writers have made it public that theyâre co-writing together. Not even sure why Lalazee spread this rumor when:Â
Its irrelevant and quite frankly none of her business.
She didnât provide proof yet again.
She never even bothered to ask the writer who is apparently having their credit taken for the writing how much work the other person is putting in? I honestly canât think of any other reason for why Lalazee would spread this rumor other than that she wants to stay at the top of the kudos list on AO3 and saw the fic of these two blowing up in popularity. I donât know but their lack of evidence alone should already raise red flags.
Questioning people who spread rumors and throw accusations around with no evidence should already be common sense so I shouldnât have to remind everyone of this.Â
Itâs a hard pill to swallow but even the people you look up to can be liars, hypocrites, and heck even adults who gratify themselves to pedophilia and child pornography so stay woke, kids.
