Although Fuwa-chan apologized directly to Yasuko， the matter is not closed．．．TV industry insider said， “Sponsors are also taking the situation seriously．．．it will be difficult to appear on the show．”
Following the controversy over the inappropriate social media posts made by talent Fuwa-chan (age undisclosed) towards comedian Yasuko (25), it has been learned that the two met in person on the 6th and Fuwa-chan apologized. On the 4th, Fuwachan posted derogatory comments, quoting a post made by comedian Yasuko on x on the 2nd which said, “Yasuko’s Olympics are great just for being alive, so everyone is a winner.” Although she quickly deleted it, the screenshot went viral, with Yasuko writing, “I’m so sad,” causing a huge uproar online. According to sources, Yasuko is confused by the uproar that has occurred, but has accepted the apology and there is no remaining hardship between the two. However, even though an apology has been issued, the matter is not closed, and it looks like this will have a major impact on Fuwa-chan’s work. A TV industry source said, “Even if the matter was resolved between the two parties involved, it is a fact that problematic remarks were made. “It will be difficult to appear on television,” he said, adding, “There may be a possibility that he will return to being a YouTuber.” “Program sponsors are also taking the situation seriously. If he is chosen, criticism from viewers will be unavoidable.” In response to the uproar, “Fuwachan’s All Night Nippon 0 (zero)” has already suspended its evening program on the 5th. On the 6th, Google Japan made the commercial video for the smartphone “Google Pixel” in which Fuwa-chan appears private on their official website, stating, “Google has strict policies regarding disrespectful behavior. We have now stopped posting advertisements and promotional materials for Google Pixel that featured the talent in question. Regarding our contractual relationship, we will make appropriate decisions in line with Google’s policies going forward.” He is a regular on Nippon Television’s “Gyoretsu no Dekiru Soudanjo” (Sundays 9:00pm), and arrangements are currently being made to cut his scene on the 11th. According to an interview with Sponichi Shimbun, editing is already underway. A source close to the station revealed, “It looks like some parts will be filmed, but the talk parts will be cut entirely.” Nippon TV said it has “no plans to change the lineup” and that it is “currently considering” editing. Fuwa-chan will appear on Fuji TV’s special program “Ariyoshi’s Summer Vacation” which will be broadcast on September 7th. Fuji has said that “there will be no changes to the content being broadcast,” but an agency representative said, “There is a possibility that it may be cut depending on the direction of public opinion.” Sponichi.
Well, if she does come then we have no choice but to forgive her. If we turn her away like this, it will tarnish Yasuko’s image as a good person character.
>>4 Even if she was turned away, it was better because it made people realize that she was angry and it was only natural that she would be angry. Since she accepted the apology, I feel even more sorry for Yasuko and the damage to Fuwa is huge.
>>4 I accept the apology but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgiven him, but I think that’s fair. This is not a statement that can be dismissed with a simple apology.
The only people who would be in trouble if Fuwa disappeared from TV would be the morons who laugh at Fuwa, and the TV stations who rely on those morons for ratings, so it wouldn’t have any impact on the general public.
To begin with, Fuwa is disliked and has low likeability, so there’s no point in casting her. Apparently there were complaints from the staff and co-stars too.
There is a trend towards tougher penalties for slander, so even if Yasuko truly forgave him, it would be better for society if Fuwa were to completely sink.
Fuwa-chan is actually a nice person! This is just a case of joking around too much She’s not normally like that! It’s honestly pretty crazy that there’s no follow-up like this at all.
