I read the linked convo and it's seems like he's lacking social skills.
It's in the tweet after this one.

Mike Z made the "he cannot breathe" comment publicly on stream in front of thousand of spectators. Was this conversation with Bunny private? If so, why is she involving the internet? If she perceived Mike Z's advances to be harassment, she could contact Twitter or authorities.
She said as much in her followup tweet a few minutes ago. So hopefully this won't get out of hand.
Read the DMs, and it seems like he just doesn't know how to talk to people. He said nothing threatening or hateful, he just came off as weird and creepy which isn't a crime; additionally, she could leave the conversation at any time. He wasn't stalking or harassing her. Also, considering she instigated the conversation with the topic of yuri bondage, she shouldn't be surprised if the conversation took any number of strange sexual routes. Don't know or care for Mike Z, but this is nothing. If anything, Bunny Ayumi comes off as incredibly deceitful and manipulative for putting something like this out for the public knowing that it can harm someone's reputation and job/career.
Hm, I had no idea that she initiated the conversation about bondage. I agree that she seems like an opportunist. Not to excuse Mike Z's sexual advances, but I was browsing Bunny's Twitter account. She posts highly provocative pictures of herself and asks subscribers to make comments. The pictures are even marked as "potentially sensitive content" for me.
Did you read the conversation? Seems like it would be prudent to do that first.
I did.
Yep that's what I got out of it
Gratitude over character design is a FAR cry from a sexually explicit conversation topic.
I didn’t see it as him making advances — I did see it as him being socially awkward, not knowing how to express his thoughts/curiosity in a very eloquent manner, and treading on sensitive territory while trying to figure it out.
In other words, men are presumed guilty until proven innocent. If a man perceives an interaction as one of interest by the woman and acts accordingly, he is at fault. Even if the woman is "evil" and she "lays the trap" to use your words, he deserves the repercussions because other men are pigs. Not only are these arguments extremely unfair, they make no sense whatsoever.
Good explanation. Point taken.
I'm not talking about all men. This isnt a giant generalization. I'm talking specifically about Mike Z and this particular situation. And my point is that regardless of her intentions in blowing this up, he did precisely the thing she said he did, which is take a simple show of gratitude and turn it into something painfully uncomfortable, the evidence is right there in the messages, and whatever intentions she had or has bringing this to light does absolutely nothing to change that. He has had his platform and place in the FGC for long enough to have taken the responsibility needed not to keep doing the weird and questionable shit he's become notorious for doing; he hasn't. So, here we are again.
Perhaps because colored peoples' cultural identities have no business being reduced to white people's costumes??
Lol, you know that Ancient Egyptian culture mostly vanished before the birth of Christ right? So who's cultural identity are you talking about?
Yeah, the poor guy is just extremely awkward socially and people at this point are just kicking him while he's down. Repulsive.
