YouTuber's Absurd Explanation for Sending Adult Products to Japan Earthquake Zone: "Items the Government Would Never Provide"

"We Were Never Wrong... We Will Prevent Sexual Crimes in Disaster Areas"

A famous Japanese influencer with over 70,000 followers has sparked controversy by sending adult products as relief supplies to residents affected by the earthquake. In response to the cold public reaction, the influencer explained that the intention was to prevent sexual crimes after the earthquake. The influencer is well-known for anime cosplay.

Rengoku Koroaki, who has over 70,000 followers on X, posted on the 6th, "I will prevent sexual crimes in the disaster area with Tenga (male adult products). It also helps relieve stress," and uploaded a photo verifying 300 adult products along with the post, saying, "These are items that the government will never provide, but disaster victims would want."

Previously, Ishikawa Prefecture, one of the areas severely affected by the earthquake, repeatedly appealed that they do not accept personal relief supplies. Through X, they also stated, "At this point, we are not recruiting volunteers or accepting personal support supplies," explaining, "The overall damage situation has not yet been fully assessed, making it dangerous, and traffic congestion caused by regular vehicles could hinder the passage of emergency vehicles and the delivery of support supplies."

Since then, public opinion has been cold. One netizen wrote, "This insults the disaster victims." Another said, "Your actions cause the refugees pain twice." Comments such as "This is an act to gain attention," "It's just a show," and "Do you really think this will help?" have also appeared.

Despite these reactions, Rengoku Koroaki was unfazed. Instead, they encouraged followers, saying, "Those who have free time during the three-day holiday, please support in various ways." They added, "I brought other support supplies besides Tenga," and rebutted, "Do not complain about distributing Tenga. Do not underestimate human sexual desire. We are absolutely not wrong."

Meanwhile, on the 1st, a magnitude 7.6 strong earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. As of 9 a.m. on the 9th, there have been 180 confirmed deaths and 120 missing persons. The total number of injured, including those with minor injuries, is 565.
