Watch Hello Kitty defend the Japanese men who adore her: "It's not wrong!!!"


Since the popularization of Virtual YouTubers (or VTubers) in Japan, there’s been several anime characters and mascots flocking to online platforms to interact with adoring fans. The phenomenon’s gotten so big that Japan recently saw the opening of its first virtual snack bar, which sees anime characters running an online food establishment while chatting up its patrons. Right now, some of the biggest VTuber stars include virtual anime-women Kizuna Ai and Tsukino Mito, but last year saw one of Japan’s most recognizable characters, Hello Kitty, build up a modest following of her own.
Lately, Hello Kitty has been answering questions from fans who reply to her vlogs and videos. Her latest post, according to Japanese fan publication Sora News 24, sees her answering a doozy of a query: “Is it wrong for a guy to like Hello Kitty?”
“I’ll say this as many times as it needs to be said,” she begins.
