I used to follow her on livejournal in the early 2000s and everything you’ve touched on is spot on. She is an extremely problematic abuser and a compulsive liar. She’s honestly dangerous so I appreciate you taking the time to make a video warning others.
THANK YOU FOR FINALLY TALKING ABOUT HER!!!!!!!!!! I used to be a huge fan until I found out her past. Ugh. Absolute insanity. This was an awesome watch and I would love for you to dive more into the Kou Klan & the coup. Part 2!!!!
For the engagement: I'm a Scorpio and my Moon is in Aries and I have Libra rising. Other than that, I'm a Wood Dragon. Love the flashing of the Disclaimers and the Trigger Warnings in the first moments of the video. I may suggest to lower them on the screen or list them to your left(?) against the backdrop of the wardrobe.
@@LilThreat88 Hi, Earth Dragons represent! Hey, we might be the same day. I remember a post you did and I asked if it was that day, and nothing came of it, so maybe you didn't see it. The 17th?
@@jenniferlenfestey5335 oh damn, sorry i missed that, that sounds like a fun comment. I bet it was when i hadn't updated to my new email yet... Anyway, almost, yeah! I'm the 16th~
The fact that her group's initials are basically KKK! Replace the white hoods with cosplay and that's basically what it is! I'm a fan of Sailor Moon, too (see my avatar!), but this is taking it too far!
I would love a part 2! Im actually intreting in the world on Cosplay bc i feel a trend of ED in that community. Some people with ED want to appear to be a child for multiple reasons i wont get into now but i feel like the Cosplay community also struggle with this mindset of not "growing up" or maturing in general.
I had to look this up specifically for this comment: I'm an Aries sun with a Leo moon and a Capricorn rising. I have no idea what it means but there you go.
Thank you for talking about this. I have a family member in a similar situation as Kevin. Abusers need to be exposed for who they are, especially when they blatantly putting it online for everyone to see then deny it. Kind of like the face tuning, no?
I was active in the east coast con scene when she was and kept an active eye on all the drama that surrounded her (livejournal, cosplay.com forums, hearing about things while at cons, etc..) There was always a huge mess of something that she was involved in. I'm glad a good number of her group eventually wisened up and recognized their relationships with her for how messed up they were.
For the engagement: Sun sign Aquarius, I was born almost 4 weeks early so I was actually supposed to be a Pisces. My Rising is Virgo and my Moon is Leo! 💖💖
Thank you for being to light the toxic and manipulative person that she is. Hopefully some who were unaware of her antics will delve deeper into the person she truly is. I don't know where you got your research material and I'm not going to "tip" but please consider looking into Eloise Frazer/ Preferably Ellie / Stefany Lauren. She's not nearly as toxic but she's a skinwalking cosplayer who gained a huge following from photoshoping actresses faces onto her own and calling it a cosplay. Then denied it. There's more but I don't want to write a novel here. You just gained a subscriber, thank you!
THANK YOU!!!! I used to follow Usagi Kou/Lori Lewd back in the early days of LiveJournal, she’s been in cosplay drama since I want to say 2003. I’ve run into her at Sakura con over the years and she was a nasty piece of work, just a mean spirited person. So glad her drama is coming back up and people are still calling her shit behaviour out.
I'm a pisces but I was meant to be an aquarius - 2 weeks overdue. Water signs are the best! ❤❤ I wish you would have shown us a close up of your makeup details - I couldn't really see them on my phone and they look pretty! Xx
I love seeing some of the lesser known cosplayers getting called out. All too often they fly under the radar while amassing a following and being problematic in the community unbeknownst to their followers. Watching the tea spill on universally well known problematic influencers is interesting but catching them before they make it it big is even better.
Wow, I don't anything about the cosplay community, but I know someone who recently came into contact with Lori and had to deal with some harassment from her. What a truly caustic bully.
Love your liner today! I may have def tried to recreate it while I listened to this, haha. Yours turned out cuter but thanks for the inspo on my makeup today, love. xoxo
A lot of her fans are younger and she doesn't really attend cons often. I think she's just had the advantage of age and her drama being mostly on dead websites. if it was all documented on facebook or instagram she would have been cancelled forever ago
I used to see her around anime conventions in 2000-2005 era when I went to such things . She was kind of a big name back then but from what I've read about her rediscovering her in the past year she really went down hill. There are massive threads on her on lolcow farms but a lot of they is girls just being catty and nitpicking her. She definitely edits the hell outta her photos though. I believe she's actually 37 now(im 36)
Wooh! Cosplay community stuff! I used to be really involved in that. It’s fun to hear about. And important because a lot of younger cosplayers will really go hardcore trying to replicate obviously edited cosplay photos.
Anyone here a fellow Piscean? 🐠♓️ I’ve never heard of that cosplayer before but it’s good that you’re bringing more attention to this topic! Also on a completely irrelevant side note, I love your makeup today 💕
@The Genderqueer Cringy Emo I’m sorry to hear that :( your feelings aren’t irrelevant in the slightest and it sucks you’re going through that. If you need someone to talk to, you can add me on Discord? x
@The Genderqueer Cringy Emowow, 6 years is a really long time to wait, it’s great you’ve made progress by yourself though, that’s not an easy thing to do at all. Good luck with the diagnosis, I hope you get the help that you need soon ❤️
I’m Aquarius, but I was born 2 weeks late! 😅 Apparently I liked to take it slow even before I was even born. If I’d been on time there was a chance of me being a Capricorn, depending on how close it was to my due date.
Tried to find more on her and couldn’t really find anything so I would love to see more on her. Also I am 33 this year and while I do look shockingly young in photos (younger than her at times) it’s because of the shape of my face and because I have sunlight allergies so I guess I do have weird vampire genetics 😅 but you look at photos she can’t face tune beside the ones she does and her face is a different shape entirely. She doesn’t look anywhere near as young as she claims.
my sun sign is aries, but I don't really identify with it because it feels like it almost never represents me accurately. I'm much more comfortable with my pisces moon and aquarius rising signs
You look fabulous today. Well you always do. Also, we’d totally watch a 2 hour video but don’t stress yourself out with something so big if you can’t handle it 💕 Also, I’m a Scorpio 😊
I’m a Gemini sun, Cancer moon, and Cancer rising. I thought astrology was total crap until I learned about moon and rising signs lol. Never heard of this girl, but I’ve done a little cosplaying and let me tell you, taking credit for someone else’s hard work is never okay! I’m glad she’s getting banned from conventions if she’s going to compete and lie about making her cosplays.
You look great today! Even better than usual :) Very interesting video, in fact, I would be glad to hear more about the topic. Btw. My sign is Sagittarius / Earth Dragon ;)
Definitely need the part 2. Not so much that I care about these influencers and their drama, but cause I genuinely enjoy your videos. You make a topic I don't normally keep up with, outside of involving a creator I support, interesting..... Aries here ♈♈🐏🐏
im an aries, but the kind that was born under the cusp (aries/taurus cusp)! no wonder i love your personality, i tend to love hearing cancers just talk :) one of my best friends is a cancer and we can talk for HOURS - one of my personal favorite signs!!
I’m a cusp Aries too. My bday is the 19th. My bestie is a Taurus. She makes me nuts but I love her my other bestie for 30+ years IS a Taurus. I have never put much stock into this but you have me wondering
this is so fascinating, i didn’t know about any of this. more old cosplay deep dives would be fascinating! & fwiw, i for one love long ass videos, but i also totally get if you just don’t like making them
You look tired today, hope ur can rest up a bit, my journal arrived and I really love it, sadly I can’t use a fountain pen with it as it bleeds through to the other side, but it’s still enjoyable and I’m looking forward to starting this month. Great creation btw.
I dont use my Instagram anymore but I'm gonna download it again to help you get that swipe up thingy. I'm technically a Leo but my moon sign is cancer and my sidereal star sign is cancer so I feel about 50/50
Let me know what you think of this brief drama history of Lori Lewd
Have a lovely day
It seems pretty bad for the people around her
And I'm a pisces
I love hearing some of the lesser known problematic people/groups and lesser known drama! Thanks for the entertainment ❤️
Yes, do a part two- Aquarius ♒️
More pls
nice job
"nobody wants to watch a 2 hour video" "don't tell us what we want!" :P
Vang... We DO want a 2 hour video haha

im posting the truth and my comments are being deleted
I’ve haven’t heard of this girl but all that relationship stuff seems wild 😳 and I’m a scorpiooo
Yeah! Another Scorpio✋
There are so many Scorpios in here, I love it ♏️
oh my god, i remember reading about her after the fact when she was still part of the kou group. i had no idea she was still around

I'm an Aries Sun- my due date was Sailor Mars' birthday. However, I also came like three weeks early and almost was a Pisces.
I'd love to hear more! Also, my first 4 placements are in Leo!!
I'm a pisces but I was meant to be an aquarius - 2 weeks overdue.
Water signs are the best! ❤❤
I wish you would have shown us a close up of your makeup details - I couldn't really see them on my phone and they look pretty! Xx
God! I'm a Cancer who was supposed to be a Gemini but was born three weeks late! Together we make the ultimate summer babby
woah i just started following her! thanks for the heads up Vang, gonna unfollow rn!
What a gem of a human she is! I’ll listen to you talk about most anyone, so do videos on whatever you feel like.
I’m a Virgo & a Rooster.
Ugh I have never heard of her buuuuuut, as a very casual 30+ cosplayer I feel like I already know what to expect...
My goodness I feel horrible for Kevin: that man needs help and support! And I'm a Taurus sun sign and Pisces moon sign :)
I love seeing some of the lesser known cosplayers getting called out. All too often they fly under the radar while amassing a following and being problematic in the community unbeknownst to their followers.

Me: she looks very familiar.
(Checks instagram account)
Me: shit.

holy crap i am a casual cosplayer and have never heard of her, thank you for covering this bc i want to ensure i stay faaar away from her content
Hi! I'm a Capricorn! :D (with a Libra moon and a cancer rising!)
Love your liner today! I may have def tried to recreate it while I listened to this, haha. Yours turned out cuter but thanks for the inspo on my makeup today, love. xoxo
I made a balls of it first and had to redo it so don’t worry haha
Yes 👏🏻 to👏🏻 the👏🏻 makeup👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank👏 you 👏
Engagement comment! I'm a pisces sun, cancer moon, and libra rising~ so I relate to your cancerian ways... sensitive bitches unite
I was also born early, intended Libra actually a Virgo
I'm curious about how she's still accepted in the cosplay community? Do her fans know what she's doing and excusing it or are they in the dark?
A lot of her fans are younger and she doesn't really attend cons often. I think she's just had the advantage of age and her drama being mostly on dead websites. if it was all documented on facebook or instagram she would have been cancelled forever ago
That person seems out of control. On an unrelated note; I’m a Scorpio
Do you have an encyclopedia of weird people stashed away somewhere? BTW, I'm a cancer too.
Yes it’s hidden in the yellow wardrobe
I used to see her around anime conventions in 2000-2005 era when I went to such things . She was kind of a big name back then but from what I've read about her rediscovering her in the past year she really went down hill.

I'm also a Cancer. My moon sign is an Aries and my rising sign is a Leo.
For your engagement: I'm a Virgo with a Libra moon and Pisces rising.
17 seconds in and I just have to say;
I'm living for this makeup look today!!
edit; I love that you say "yous"

Googling Lori lewd pulled out forum posts for me and that contained the receipts
Aquarius Sun, Cancer Moon with marvelous Sagittarius ♐
i’m a pisces sun and a cancer rising, lots of emotions but the aquarius moon squashes em down
my sun sign is aries, but I don't really identify with it because it feels like it almost never represents me accurately. I'm much more comfortable with my pisces moon and aquarius rising signs
You look fabulous today. Well you always do. Also, we’d totally watch a 2 hour video but don’t stress yourself out with something so big if you can’t handle it 💕

I am a Gemini. My boyfriend is also a Gemini. Quarantine has been fun lmao
Ooooh boy 😝 I'm a Scorpio with a Libra boyfriend...
Took some work, but we settled into a good grove
She said "no doubles" lol
My sun sign is Cancer and my Moon and Rising is Capricorn
My Zodiac is Cancer. Other 2 are Cancer and Aries.
You look great today! Even better than usual :) Very interesting video, in fact, I would be glad to hear more about the topic.
Btw. My sign is Sagittarius / Earth Dragon ;)
Kind of interesting and wouldn't mind a part two 🤔 also I'm a Capricorn.
It’s the hair color and the perfectly poppin curls for me! 😝 obsessed with this hair on you!

Yes she absolutely uses some type of editing in her pics 💯
Sun sign: Taurus. Am I the only one here that had no idea this individual existed before watching this video?
Sun sign- Aquarius. Admittedly I’m not super knowledgeable on the cosplay community, but I hadn’t heard of her either before this.
I don't think I have ever been this early to a video. 💖 Not because I care about the subject, but because I care about your content!

I’m a cancer too ! July 10th. What’s your moon sign ?
Here's my comment for the algorithm.
I'm a Capricorn on the cusp of Sagittarius ^.^
Leo ♌ 🦁 (cancer cusp), scorpio ascendant ♏ 🦂
I really enjoy your videos. I'm glad you bring attention to big issues to the people. I'm a sagittarius with a lot of scorpio within.
I’d super enjoy a long form video on this & I’m a virgo
I'm a cancer. Whatcha gonna do. I have a stellium in gemini though, and almost was one
Oh this is gonna be good
Yis
I'm a sagittarius, which I guess makes me half horse or something?
i'm also a cancer sun!!! but aries moon and rising!
anyway i love your hair so much!!!!
Love the makeup. I had never heard of either this person or pro-ana before, so I learned new things today! And I'm a Scorpio. 🦂
