The Hakuouki Zine’s favorite pastime: Double Standards
August 24, 2025
Autumn was disqualified from the Hakuouki zine almost instantly after vague “harassment” claims — no transparent explanation, just a template reply from staff. Meanwhile, vicecommanderhijikata — a repeat harasser with abusive comments, dozens of hostile DMs, and even links to a hate blog — was left completely untouched. And to make things worse, one of the loudest attackers of Autumn, Ladyyomi, openly bragged about her “friends” being selected as zine authors. Why is this the standard? Why are harassers protected while victims are punished? Why the double standard?
