The release of the Google Doc splintered the fandom into three distinct camps. The first, the accountability bloc, argued that the evidence (especially voice clips matching Yagami Yato’s vocal patterns) was damning. They called for de-platforming and urged followers to stop monetarily supporting the creator via Patreon, whose tiers reached over $100 per month.
The second camp, the denialists or defenders, deployed several counter-arguments: that the screenshots were doctored, that the voice clips were AI-generated or taken out of context, or that the interactions were purely fictional roleplay that did not constitute real harm. Some defenders invoked the “fiction ≠ reality” defense common in fandom spaces, arguing that as long as Yagami Yato did not physically meet minors, no crime occurred.

The third and most conflicted group consisted of traumatized former fans. For many young listeners, the audios had been a source of comfort during loneliness, depression, or identity struggles. Learning that the voice behind that comfort might have been preying on people like them caused profound emotional distress. For these individuals, the Google Doc was not gossip; it was the destruction of a safe space.
