      clearly they did all of this for attention. not out of some sort of passion for kh. not sure why folks like you are downplaying the situation by saying "oh well their leaks were true tho! they just seem to be a little weird"

      Just having a persona online isn't weird - but the way they interacted with people under that persona was majorly bizarre. Especially the way he tried to finagle information out of people, etc.
      Like, I'm just a rando who comments on youtube occassionally. If I presented myself as a japanese woman while doing that it wouldn't matter at all - The kind of stuff I like to talk about has nothing to do with my life expereince (which is far removed from that of a japanese woman, if you couldn't tell) so nothing of what I did would be inauthentic - it would just be a layer of anonymity. This stuff with Midori... isn't that.

    I don't really care about the fake "persona". (no pun intended) cause this person was a leaker and the whole identity has to be private which goes well with the whole "super secret im illuminati bs arc".
    That said, I care more about whether the leaks are true or not. As for the allegations, we don't have proof and I hope they ain't true.
    The funny part of all of this is how everyone fell for the insider thing though. Everyone literally thought Midori was one of the best insiders in Japan pretty much. And the coming out kinda ruins the whole thing. It was like a good show, but now it feels like GoT Season 8.

      If you cared about the leaks' credibility, the fact that they formed such an elaborate lie about who they said they was isn't something to be ignored. Like Jared said in the vid, this weirdo didn't need to gender the persona and actively engage in comments with their "fans". He should have just stayed anonymous.
      Now that he royally fucked up, and his entire past is revealed to the internet, it shatters all credibility on the leaks he shared. So no, you have to care about the fake persona.

      ⁠@@Kingdom850 Lol no, distancing your real self from your public online presence with a persona doesn’t have any bearing on the credibility of the leaks.

People are just way too attached to their idea of someone they’ve never met.

I am NOT saying don't use a fake persona.

      Fake persona or not, it’s still hilarious to me how hard he tried to push his persona as a Japanese girl every chance he got, even when it was uncalled for. If you look at his Tweets, sometimes he mentions that he’s a girl when nobody was talking about anything remotely related to his gender. The persona went beyond its functional purpose to gaslight his true identity into something used to actually catfish and fulfill his fantasies.

It really sets the tone when game expos say ahead of time that there are no new KH news to avoid fan backlash and fans still get upset.

    honestly, regardless of their previous life, their leaks about Sonic were VERY spot on about everything in the past 2 years. literally everything the "Midori" character said about Sega ended up being true one way or another, even about P3R... so maybe in some point the person behind the profile DID get new reliable insider info/contact on the Sega side of things and thought a clean slate was the only way to actually become believable?? who knows.
    that's exactly why there isn't a way to know anything about the KH4 yet. there's a bad track record before the Midori identity but an excellent track record AS that same identity. all I care is if the information is reliable or not, when we finally find out news about KH4.

      The correct response; wanna catfish people online? As long as you're not abusing them for gifts and money, that's fine by me. Whether or not you say you're a guy or a girl has nothing to do with me unless I'm trying to date you.
      Pretending to be another ethnicity with bad grammar, a bit crass, but all the japanese "OH MAI GOTT!" and "DO YOU WANT HAMBARGER?!" stuff is funny to me, I don't think it's a problem.
      The bigger issue is being a leaker with a bad reputation and turning into another leaker with a "fresh" reputation is a bit skeezy. Earn a clear reputation the hard way.
      Though, another lesson is; don't put too much credibility in invalidated leaks, assume that anything you see averages 50% accurate, and you'll usually never be upset.

    The only thing I found strange about the Midori situation is that so many people took everything a leaker said at face value. Come on people, these are individuals online that thrive off of attention of any kind. Do you seriously put it past someone like that to pull some shit like this?? This is why you don't glorify people who do this kind of thing online it's what they want. I'm not saying don't talk about their info if you want to farm content as a content creator.
    I want to make that very clear, if making content online is your livelihood. You do you bro get your bag, that is A okay with me. But at least try not to even bother giving them credit by naming these people. Because that's what they want they crave people going to their posts to farm the attention. What's sad about leakers though is that these people don't even do this shit to get payed. They literally only do it for attention nothing else, it's parasocial in the saddest way in my opinion.
    It's always interesting to hear what leakers say offhandedly sure but nobody should ever celebrate that a leaker exists, that's just crazy. Another thing, I've been on the internet long enough to know that like 80% of anime profile pic accounts are male, even the ones that have a female character, ESPECIALLY those. I'm genuinely more surprised by the revelation that people were actually surprised Midori was actually a dude all along. I just straight up assumed he was from the start. Because that's usually the case with leakers, the vast majority of them are dudes. Lastly though I just want to say it was extremely funny hearing that they were one of the villian masterminds behind the grinch leak. Trully the internet is indeed a place that exists.

    I don't really know how to feel.

As a side note Midori is the japanese word for "green" and is unisex, whereas the character could've been for their well-known leaker status in the Persona community. We all make our own persona's here on the internet and we try to respect each other, not asking about our private info being a major factor in it. I feel bad for Midori, even though I don't follow leakers that often. All we can do now is hope for the best and remain patient.

    It's been a rollercoaster, when it's come to alleged KH4 leaks lately. Back in late April, DanielRPK, a reputable leaker mostly known for his MCU leaks, claimed that KH4 was slated for a 2025 release. Then Midori just the other week claims a 2026 release for KH4 instead. A lot of people took Midori's claim at face value, but knowing what we know now, we don't know if Midori's claim is reliable anymore. Here's hoping Square gives us some sort of official update on KH4 by the end of the year, because it is getting annoying hearing just rumors.

    Man, I was really hoping for KH4 to release in at least mid-2025 to around late-2025/early-2026. I guess we’ll just have to wait until SE ultimately releases Missing-Link because some story elements in that game will connect to KH4. I think by Tokyo Game Show this September, SE should update fans on KH4; D23 may not be for KH4 because I think KHML might not be released yet, so a 50/50 on KHML and KH4 in that event.
    I hope we get news on KHML sometime later, especially now that the franchise is available on Steam, so probably less weight on the KH team moving forward.
    These are all my predictions to set my expectations a little more optimal so that I would not get my hopes up.

      This is such a weird defense because some of the most prominent leakers on the internet don’t have to be this extra. He didn’t need a persona. He didn’t need to do anything except just post leaks. Doing all this is what gets you exposed which is what happened. Most leakers don’t interact that much in the replies for good reason, but this guy did which should tell you one thing. All of this was for clout and attention.

    Shoutouts to Screenments for trying to approach this in a normal fashion, but having someone completely leak his document and make it blow up harder than it should have (although this is the internet and especially twitter so who knows). That aside, the catfishing is very weird, but to be fair a lot of the leaks turned out to be accurate. However, how he ended up getting that information is also a bit weird, but on the other hand there are a lot of fake allegations going around so its hard to know what's true. Just a very confusing situation we find ourselves in. If you want more information about the "Midorifesto" and the research behind unmasking (ha) Midori, I recommend checking Screenments video on it.

    who they are isnt a big deal but accusing the person of faking leaks is a big deal. if you are going to accuse them of faking leaks you have to bring receipts of them faking leaks. everyone has a persona they leave in the past because its not them anymore or its not who they want to be.
