This is correct.
And it's not an exaggeration. It doesn't need exaggerating, that's literally exactly what he did.
This event even has a good page to point to for it now: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/vaush-opens-porn-folder-on-stream
And lolicon is illegal stateside due to some Bush Jr era laws on pornography and CSAM. He could legitimately end up being legally prosecuted for this.
If he doesn't, he's basically a confirmed fed.
No shot people are getting prosecuted for lolicon porn, it's way too widespread.
As of the PROTECT ACT of 2003, any obscene images depicting minors including virtual images, and thus lolicon, are illegal in the United States. Most countries have obscenity laws that also make it illegal or classify it under CSAM. One notable exception is Germany, where it is not illegal as it does not depict real people.
This doesn't seem to be enforced very broadly considering just how widespread and available the material is. If these laws were enforced, 4chan would have been obliterated 20 years ago.
The good timeline, where Bush arrested and liquified every 4chan user and then didn't get re-elected because they were load bearing pedophiles.
I mean 4chan have helped various militaries carry out airstrikes in Syria, including against US backed "moderate rebels". I have no idea how that website is still up and running. Fed run website used to incriminate and potentially blackmail internet weirdos?
I think "laws about anime porn aren't enforced" is a more likely explanation than "if someone is possessing or distributing loli porn without getting arrested it means they're a fed"
I mean, is there anyone who is getting prosecuted for it?
it's fuggin crazy how many guys don't bother to hide their removed folders on their PC/smartphone/work computer or wipe the removed stains off their keyboards before trying to show me whatever shitty novelty website or yt video I didn't want to see.
What gets me is that it's just sloppy af. Not to defend Va*sh or anything but if my career was as a streamer I'd have my gaming rig used as my public-facing PC and I'd put my personal stuff on an entirely different computer because I would want containment and it's just not worth the risk of leaking sensitive or personal stuff online.
Ultimately this is representative of Va*sh's attitude to OpSec in a broader sense. Anyone who is a serious activist will give OpSec its due consideration and upon hearing about this situation they'd immediately write Va*sh off as a liability because he doesn't even put in the bare minimum to prevent leaks.
When it comes to pen testing and related stuff, the weakest link is always the human. Va*sh could have used all the encryption in the world to hide his shameful porn habits from public view and it wouldn't be worth a damn because encryption doesn't prevent carelessness in the end-user. Vaush is a prominent figure and it can be assumed that he's got something of a target on his back (not enough of one, if you ask me). It's safe to assume that people have tried to hack his computer before and that they will do so in the future. Why you'd put all of your tax info on a primary target for hackers is completely beyond me.
It's so fucking easy when you're as rich as he is from sub money to just have two PCs too like holy shit.
You don't even need to do that. You just need to create a second Windows account, dump all your porn shit in C:\Users\$porn-account\Documents, and hide C:\Users\$porn-account\ so you can't see the folder on your normal account. It's virtually impossible to get exposed on stream unless you actively type the directory path of the porn. Even having $porn-account as an option for what profile to log in as isn't that big of a deal since the streaming software is behind your streaming account. The only real way to get exposed would be if you first log in to the porn account and sign in to your streaming account without signing out of your porn account first. If you hover your cursor where you would log out/shutdown/restart the PC, people would know that you're logged in to another account. But even then it only exposes you as someone who enjoys porn and that's only if you make it really obvious your porn account is a porn account (ie a Windows account called Porn). If you use an entirely innocuous name like your real name, most people would just think that Windows account is for your personal life.
I really don't understand how people are still being busted with porn on stream in 2024.
