I went to the Tokyo Tulsa convention this last weekend and it was amazing 👏 I mostly dressed in armor that was leaning towards Gothic and berserk

This isn’t Anime North-specific, but I thought it would be best to make people aware of an influencer named Ethan Qi.

At Yeticon, Ethan was livestreaming and repeatedly approaching/following women and cosplayers who appeared uncomfortable or seemed like they wanted to be left alone. The concern people raised is not that he was simply “having conversations” with people, but that some of these interactions looked unwanted, uncomfortable, and boundary-crossing.

There's even a channel archiving this stuff and pointing out some of his behaviour

Since then, he has been trying to frame the criticism as if people are just upset that he was talking to women or filming at a convention. That leaves out the actual issue people were pointing to (the amount of entitlement from him and his followers is crazy, all clearly stemming from a manosphere mindset)

I’m posting this from a new account because I felt it was necessary to spread awareness and keep the context in one place. This is not meant to encourage hate, threats, harassment, or dogpiling. The point is to make sure people in the community are aware of what was documented so they can make their own decisions.

If anyone has other documented material, please archive it properly. Save clips, screenshots, links, dates, and context where possible. It may also be worth making other conventions aware, especially if there are concerns about repeated behaviour at events as he constantly joked about MINORS throughout as if it was "funny".
