Kasumi GotoLook, ma! I’m the subject of someone’s AI-generated, low-effort rubbish video!


Well, you could always look at it from the angle that you have inspired others. As the great philosopher Eric Idle has said, Always Look on the bright Side of Life.

Part of me would feel humbled slightly, but I’m a bit miffed when these words get put into the mouth of my character and that awful AI-generated picture is used for it.





Some of it is maybe true, but calling the nanite torpedoes a genocidal weapon? A theological statement? Oh my god, please.

And you can’t tell me that choice of name just so happens to be a total coincidence.

Bonus :

(If anyone wants the names blurred let me know and I can do that.)

Edit - apparently one of my recent logs served as the basis for this, with “artistic changes” applied. I don’t think this falls under “artistic liberty”, though…

What a loser. I ran that crap through the translator, and, well... It's as close to Kira's logs as Thargoid poop to a biscuit.

He apparently had no proper defense for why it was this way either, when exposed by the person that pointed this out to me. I wouldn’t mind that kind of thing as a genuine RP, but it doesn’t exactly feel like that’s the case here.

Bright side, you are like a celebrity now...though he had to use your current avatar in that video it would go through the roof...

But if something had happened to the video because of the use of that avatar, it would just have made it hilarious, instead of only annoying.

And there were alternatives to that horrid AI generated nonsense used to represent the character anyway. If there had actually been any effort put into that mess, of course.

I'd totally annihilate him on the copyright grounds then lol.

Good.

(I was lost when I saw that video too and was like “Who is this? I never told anyone anything.”.)

This is peak YouTube, though. Mangling others' IP for a trickle of income.

You could probably copyright strike it, although who knows if that would end up doing anything.

Not worth the effort, since I’m making no money off this, and I’ve already gotten someone to point out the shitty practice in at least one Russian community server.

Someone else I asked about it - who also knows Russian - says they just inspired themselves from my logs, and that the name should have been changed while not citing me as the ‘source’ in the description(have to trust their word or, if I look myself with a translator), but I’m still a bit eh on that. And I’m not seeing any link to my inara page there, only a ‘YouTube’ that does not actually appear to exist.

I doubt they're (or he, if that's a project of only that one guy on the video) even getting any income from that kind of shit. At least in the monetary sense of that word, since audience attention is a kind of an 'income' too, figuratively speaking. On the other hand, I doubt YouTube moderators would dive into depths of videogame forums and fictional characters to figure out what's happening. So... With Kira being active on the official forum too, my take on that situation is, like... If that guy keeps pushing his shit forward, appropriating fictional characters made by other people and writing bullshit, he would probably end up being ignored by everyone except his friends. Letting idiots be idiots is a viable strategy sometimes.

I’ve been assured that there’s been some support following the callout of this nonsense, and that there will be other consequences [from said support, not related to YouTube] if that person puts out another video like that.

Somehow… I suspect they will.

That video is in Russian and there is no Kasumi Goto in real-life so the impact should be somewhat very limited except the avatar's ego...

Says who? The person that doesn't actually dedicate their free time to writing logs for their character's personal story to then see this kind of nonsense popping up?

If you want to make a point about it, maybe you should have some knowledge to contribute to the subject matter meaningfully.
