I'm a big fan of Tyler (ScarfingScarves), the girl who reported on John Leigh and almost got her channel taken down by him to silence her and the victims. He's notorious for preying on under-aged girls in the lolita fashion community, and even his wife knows about his creepy antics and basically blames the victims for not speaking up, even though they tried to speak to her. The drama basically started when another, bigger lolita YouTuber (Cathy Cat, who also works for Ask Japanese) had done a clothes collab with John and lolitas got angry that she would support him (one of the excuses for him trying to take down Tyler's channel was that Cathy Cat was getting flack), which caused ScarfingScarves to do an exposé video on him with screenshots from victims and also roasted him to oblivion with her usual sarcastic jabs.
Tyler recently posted a MVPs list for the end of 2018 and thanked viewers for supporting her when her channel was in danger. She broke character and revealed how emotional it was for her (basically a living nightmare of being unable to eat/sleep properly due to the legal stuff) and she even framed the cease and desist letter from him and put it on her nightstand.
If you go to Anime Matsuri to see the concert, be careful who you give your contact information to, especially if you're underage and/or a lolita.
I assume that 1st Place doesn't know about the controversy about Anime Matsuri, but they probably want to get exposure from a huge convention. Part of me feels very disappointed that he continues to be able to run that con and I almost feel like writing a complaint letter to 1st Place, but so many other companies and personalities go there, so it's not like I can complain to everyone.
