Username vinegardoppio and notable JJBA role-player has shown themselves to be a harassing, racist, manipulative, transmisogynist individual, and uncaring of anybody but themselves or their menagerie of RPers, whom are all equally reprehensible and inconsiderate.
RPers include: giornogiovanna (Marlu), drjotarokujo (Iruka, formerly known as Impy), manfredvonkarma (Jasie), and irenecujoh (CoffeeDinosaur, or just "Coffee").
While vinegardoppio, also known as Kooj, is the main focus of this post, it does not exempt the above four. Marlu, Iruka, Jasie and Coffee are guilty of defending each others' harmful behavior and harassing of persons not included in their group.
Below are accounts of their harassment from several people.
Content Warnings: rape accusations, incest mentions, racism, misgendering, extreme fetishes, transphobia, ableism, sexism, gaslighting, possibly more that I might have accidentally left out. This post is also somewhat long.
One of the people who I spoke to about Kooj harassing them wished to remain anonymous. They give their detailed account as such:
“...What happened was, I was acquainted with several of the rpers in that group, and after a little while of talking to them I joined in on their group. A short time after I joined them, false rumors started circulating about how I was a rapist. Two or Three days after I made my RP account, I started getting death threats from Impy and Kooj, telling me that my rping was shit and I should kill myself. I found out it was them through a friend of mine. Looking back on it, I realize it was a set-up made to make me look even worse.”
Tumbr user siobhan shared her experience with Kooj, and the conversation I had with her is located here.
To put the above chatlog shortly, Kooj contacted her directly about a topic somebody in a group skype chat was sensitive to (to Siobhan's knowledge, she was the only one contacted about this/had been singled out)
Kooj then proceeded to disregard Siobhan's feelings in the chat when topics were brought up that made her uncomfortable.
Another instance, off-skype; Siobhan sent Kooj an ask on tumblr asking him to tag incestuous pairings, to which Kooj responded:
The most forthcoming with their experience was tumblr user Bibi, who had RPed with the group for nine months. They recount their time with the group here.
Again, put shortly, Bibi was 17 when they joined, and Iruka, then called Impy, had RPed smut with Bibi. Bibi was underage, while Iruka/Impy was in her twenties.
RPING SMUT WITH A MINOR IS ILLEGAL
Iruka knew exactly how old Bibi was at the time, meaning she was knowingly committing a felony. Iruka/Impy had manipulated them into RPing not just smut, but also more extreme fetishes such as shotacon, vore, and noncon, as seen here and here (both logs are R-18 and feature extreme kinks). Bibi had no desire to RP any of these things, and does not condone any of it.
Bibi also details Iruka's racism:
That being said, she was very transphobic/racist, and multiple sources even Kooj himself can recall the time that she said to me in our group chat that she 'didn't understand the concept of black people' because she 'lived on a island her whole life' and then would go into panic when I, a black mixed poc, would be uncomfortable or upset about that.
They eventually had a falling out with the group, due to the way they were pressured and manipulated into RPing things they didn't want to do:
Months later of self isolation and non roleplaying and losing a lot of my friends and having to go to the doctor because Impy would purposely send me things like 'crazy train' by ozzy ozborne and such when I would try to get up my courage to talk to them, and mocked me by sending pictures through a mutual friend of minecraft photos of telling me to stop being a crazy bitch. I tried to talk to them once more, it went off well, Impy and I were talking a lot for one day. I asked them rather politely if I could save something that we had worked on just incase she ever came back to it (this is something she asked me/pressured when I needed to talk a break from her sexual pressuring and didn't talk to her). She blew up and basically told me that she would see me kill myself than ever being my friend again. She blocked me at this and after a good cry and a botched suicide attempt, I got a message from Kooj.
Here is a link to the message Kooj sent Bibi, with a short conversation between Kooj and Bibi beforehand where Kooj blames Bibi for being uncomfortable with what Marlu had posted about in one of her roleplay blogs.
After Kooj sent that message, he sent an apology to Bibi on skype later, only doing so after Bibi posted on their blog that they were going to make a callout post about them.
Here is Kooj's "apology", and it confirms that what they've said and what they did. In turn they have not apologized properly to mimi and they only apologized after I posted on my blog that I was going to make a callout post about them myself. They essentially gave me 20 dollars to shut me up about it. Not even joking.
They explain how they were misgendered, as well, saying how Coffee and Iruka/Impy called Bibi (nonbinary femme who uses they/them) by she/her pronoun and by their non-preferred name. Kooj deliberately called Bibi by the wrong pronouns (calling them "she-who-must-not-be-named") and still continues to use Bibi's non-preffered name, saying how "because they once thought they were cis, they can't be trans or nonbinary/MoGAI."
Here is a small chatlog Bibi had with a friend (their name has been omitted) explaining more of Kooj's misgendering and how he bribed the friend to keep quiet:
[5:33:09 PM] --: He essentially made a post saying 'she who will not be named is roleplaying again'
[5:33:11 PM] BIBI ♥: ah, haha wel l then. could you maybe ask them all to maybe use my correct pronouns they/them, please
[5:35:19 PM] --: I did but they got angry at me and started yelling.
[5:35:19 PM] --: he's offering to buy me pizza now to make up for yelling
[5:35:21 PM] BIBI ♥: WOW??? UM thATS RELALY/? SHITTY/??
[5:37:29 PM] --: yeah maybe you shouldnt make a post about it? i mean don't sink to their level, if they refuse to use your pronouns just ignore them.
Kooj and Iruka/Impy had also stalked Bibi's blog; Bibi had known it was them, as they had been using an IP tracker. Iruka/Impy had stopped when asked, but when Kooj was asked, he responded as such:
Kooj had also been purposefully antagonizing Bibi, liking all of their posts on their roleplay blog, knowing Bibi was fearful of him. Jasie had also belittled Bibi for the things that made them uncomfortable, and accusing them of having a victim complex.
Keep in mind that, despite the length of this post, this barely scratches the surface. There were other people who have been intimidated and harassed by these individuals, but did not want to step forward. Their desire for anonymity is being respected.
Please report these people. Please block them, and absolutely do not associate with them. If you see any of the on your dash, block and report them and don't look back. If you are looking into RPing jjba, absolutely do not join these people. Keep away from them, report them, and tell your friends to do the same.
