Controversial Johnny's Entertainment blogger being investigated

The extremely popular Johnny's Entertainment blogger Kamichan, whose site boasts almost 5 million hits, has gone on an indefinite hiatus due to a storm of criticism that had arisen in recent weeks. 

Kamichan was scheduled to publish a book about the Johnny Entertainment fandom, specifically concerning his treatment as a man in a predominantly female fandom. However, criticism of his alleged support of pedophilia arose, and it is now being reported that PayPal will no longer allow him to have an account.

In addition, WebGains, owner of YesAsia, an affiliate of Kamichan, received an enormous amount of complaints about his behavior and now claim to be investigating him through a form letter. PlayAsia has also decided to remove Kamichan from their affiliation program, with the link on his site being disabled and only linking to the PlayAsia homepage.

A release date for the book has yet to be announced.

o god, that's not shady at all. there must be something wrong if he had to pretend to be a 14-16 yr old girl. i really do hope somebody tries to talk to him, like a therapist.

Okay can I just stress that he never actively pretended to be a teenage girl?

He never told anyone his real age and gender until we outed him, but he never said he was a teenage girl either.

It still angered me enough to make me out him, but there's a difference, imho.

I said I was not going to get into this, but I too think it's not fair that there's this lie going around that he pretended to be a teenage girl.

On his blog he never said he was a girl and he never said he was a teenage girl. On an private e-mail to me, however, he did write he was a she. I still have that e-mail but I'm not going to post it here or anywhere so as not to give more fodder to certain people. I don't recall him mentioning an specific age. However, I definitely never had him for a teenage girl, but a female in her late 20s or early 30s.

So out of all the fandom I was the only one who had a real reason to think he was a she, and in my blog I used to refer to him as 'she' or 'her' in 2006. Everybody else just assumed (as I myself had done before that e-mail) that he was a girl because this fandom is mostly made up of female fans in their teens/twenties.

I suppose that's a difference although it only happened once? Or, I mean you don't have to say but my greater point still stands.
