It seems like mostly personal problems, and if this is not going into detail, whoo I don't know what detail would be:

They pretty much straight up confirm the identity of Asahi Lina, so enough with the gaslighting that merely mentioning this (and having a totally reasonable discussion on contributor persona policies and sockpuppeting, which is what this is) is somehow unethical doxxing.
i have to admit i tend to get drawn in by dramas like this, it is a fault of mine, but it is what it is.
so anyway, i dug into the other party involved in this, i.e. the accused, and it looks like there is more to this story than what Lina lets on in her Google Doc linked here, perhaps there is another side. i am not going to go into details here, but if you are interested, it's not difficult to find her on twitter or bluesky. (and if you do choose to do so, please don't bother her, i don't want to cause her any harm by mentioning her here).
This is @lina, not the same guy in the post. Did I miss something?
Asahi Lina is almost certainly marcan's vtuber persona. This has been discussed for quite a long time on HN, reddit, etc, especially after he started interacting with his own sockpuppet on GitHub.
Dug up my old comment on the issue here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35238601
What a weird thing to share online, and more importantly to relay on hn.
Shouldn't we be above those kind of childish telenovela shit?
I mean it was pretty obvious from the get-go when Marcan lent his Twitter account to Asahi Lina to promote their launch day. Who entrusts their account credentials to a stranger?
