Today’s case is, to say the least, curious, as we know that the personal life of streamers is often closely tied to their public image. Therefore, one of the biggest fears of Internet stars is the possibility of getting caught up in controversy. That must have been the fear of Junichi Kato, the biggest Japanese streamer, when he decided to confess that he had been unfaithful to his wife. However, the public’s reaction was not what was expected, as he gained almost 9,000 new followers. It’s a true madness that even he can’t explain.
Kato cheats on his wife and increases his popularity
You don’t need to look far from our borders to see scandals related to streamers or YouTubers and matters of the heart, but this is something that is widespread worldwide and should not come as a surprise. What is surprising is what happened in Kato’s case, a Japanese streamer with 1 million followers on Twitch, when he revealed his infidelity.
We don’t know the reasons why the streamer chose to reveal such a private matter live, and we’re not going to delve into the details, but what interests us is the particular reaction of the public. After coming clean, the fact that his community supported him is within normal parameters, but many other users also approached his channel, started following him in response, and made donations.
The streamer himself was the first one to not understand anything and repeated the story several times to make it clear. “My number of subscribers is going up… I am trash, right? Don’t you think I’m trash? I lied and cheated on women. Let me say it several times. I lied and cheated on several women and had affairs.”
However, this situation seems to have had no consequences at all. In fact, the streamer is currently playing Pokémon Black and White on his channel. With 9,000 more followers, that is.
