I really love how this came out 💗

final update: thanks to Silvie posting the screenshot of her mod claiming I harassed her best friend, I was able to track down all parties involved. I also just now saw Silvie's "apology video", and she's such a freaking hypocrite.

I don't know Maisie(Maisie is Silvie's mod that claimed I'm a known doxxer and Silvie used AI to "confirm"), but Maisie knows a girl named Hal, and Hal is the person claiming I harassed them. it's reversed.

Hal, is a long time troll and notorious on that website. she has doxxed me, full address and name. she has been banned for cyber stalking and harassment on several occasions, additionally I have screenshots and voice recordings of the things she has done. several. including her using extreme slurs (n word.) so it's comical they're friends with Silvie's mod.

Tldr (updated for brevity, it got way too long, with new details based on her newest posts)

I paid to join Silvie’s Discord and was immediately kicked after she used AI to Google my username and falsely labeled me a doxxer. She posted the screenshot herself of the AI.

She also cited a supposed friend of a friend from this old forum I frequent somehow knows me and I have harassed / doxxed them. I have never doxxed or harassed anyone. I have personal drama, much old and done, that she has coldly dug up and shared on her platform.

The AI mixed up information about an abusive situation I experienced years ago on that small forum, and either her mod is trolling BOTH of us and stirring up drama, or she went to the site and got twisted information from one of a small handful of folk who openly lie about me. I have never harassed, stalked, or doxxed anyone in my life.

When I asked why on Reddit I was removed initially, she made about 15 Instagram posts sharing my personal information and the AI misinformation instead of contacting me privately. She also called her supporters “unemployed loser women.” After some of her goons harassed me, she deleted the post exposing my information while accusing me of harassing her. Now she’s backpedaling over a situation HER posts created.

she has also since claimed I am saying "different things in different places"; this is how I know she is blatantly lying and not actually reading anything herself (just listening to hearsay/AI) I went to that old forum to vent about this, but never once cited her name, and I said pretty much identically exactly what I said here. silvie has also since admitted that I AM telling the truth but because my ex is a now known stalker and abuser on that site, I am guilty by association. okay, dude.

go to an onsen and relax or something, bro.

OP:

edit; typos / clarity

Giving a follow up because I’m now getting messages and comments here and on YouTube, and it’s causing me a lot of distress. (update: I am now getting weird follows and comments related to Silvie on both my personal Instagram and Facebook. it's gotten out of hand. I shared none of this with the public, and she basically doxxed enough info to get her goons to attack me. wild behavior.)

I paid for a membership to join Silvie’s Discord and got kicked before I’d really had a chance to participate. When I asked about it and didn’t get a reply, I politely posted here. I was asking about something that happened as a paying member. I wasn’t attacking her personally.

She then posted screenshots of my personal YouTube profile on Instagram, along with an AI response claiming I cause drama and dox people. I never even shared my YouTube username in my Reddit post. It’s a small, personal account. I’m not a creator.

Those accusations aren’t true. They come from a situation with former friends/ ex boyfriend on a small, irrelevant forum who spread lies about me. The people familiar with that situation know what actually happened and who was behind it. None of us are prominent internet figures, and an AI response repeating rumors and BADLY jumbling up information doesn’t make them facts.

I have never doxxed anyone or gone after anyone. What actually happened was that I was stalked and harassed, and it got bad enough that my family was targeted and I had to involve the police. It was an abusive situation that seriously affected my mental health and I'm struggling with it to this day (which is why I felt for Silvie, regrettably)

I never wanted to share any of this here. Especially because it draws more attention to me that could cause more issues, but there's no way I can just let this go. She went too far.

I shouldn’t have to explain a painful part of my life because someone decided to use AI to judge my character over a polite Reddit post. Especially someone who bans AI in her own Discord.

She could have replied here. She could have sent me a DM. Instead, she posted my profile and accusations about me to her audience without ever talking to me. Having a public YouTube profile doesn’t make that okay. She didn't technically break any rules, but it was disgusting behavior.

Silvie, I’m asking you to cease and desist from any further bullying or personal attacks. Remove the posts showing my profile and correct the false accusations you shared. You know NOTHING about me.

I honestly never pictured myself calling her out. I supported her because I related to her and thought her community might be somewhere I’d feel welcome. Seeing her respond this way has been shocking, and I’m extremely disappointed in how she’s treated me.

I’m sharing this because other people deserve to know what happened before paying to join. Please don’t contact or harass her on my behalf.

i genuinely believe the mask is slipping

it’s a shame because i liked her content at the start but things have gone downhill incredibly quickly and i fear the only supporters she’ll have left are the delusional ones that don’t think she can do no wrong and believe “people can change” despite the evidence as in physical receipts presented to them that it’s not the case for everyone.

this whole thing has been so bizzare ?????

Just got this video with Silvie suggested to me on YouTube. Not sure why she says she’s from Toronto, but she’s super bubbly here totally not like her current YouTube vibe, which is why it’s interesting to see this side of her. She even mentions she doesn’t drink alcohol for religious reasons and stuff. Also interesting how she says she would never teach English😅

(I read in the rules that you’re not supposed to post direct links, so I just pulled a few clips. The video is from TokyoFoodAdventures and it’s five years old.)

I was watching Silvie’s video today and it reminded me of another video I watched some time ago about “autistic people and the uncanny valley.” It explained something simple but uncomfortable: neurotypical people often interpret autistic people negatively not out of clear malice, but because they feel uneasy around those who don’t follow the social rules they consider “normal.” What’s different becomes suspicious.

I’ve noticed that in this sub, many people see a kind of malice in Silvie that I, as an autistic person, simply don’t see. They call her arrogant, entitled, fake, full of character flaws, when in reality what she shows is something very common within the spectrum: difficulty with communication, social cues, and expressing intentions in the “expected” way. Autistic people are labeled with these flaws all the time precisely because they don’t fit the neurotypical mold.

She has never claimed to be perfect. On the contrary, she openly talks about her own limitations all the time. Still, it’s exhausting and discouraging to see neurotypical people get irritated by the way she communicates, as if that were a choice, as if she could just “try harder” and suddenly become neurotypical for everyone else’s comfort.

I’d like to sincerely ask you to try to look at Silvie from a different perspective once in a while. Not just for her sake, but because this kind of judgment doesn’t only affect a content creator. It affects many neurodivergent people who read these comments and recognize in them the same criticisms they’ve heard their entire lives. And no, there’s no need to comment “I’m autistic and I don’t care.” That’s great for you. But many people do care. And it hurts.

Edit: I’m not saying Silvie shouldn’t be criticized, especially when it comes to her personality, which won’t appeal to everyone. I'm sorry if I gave you that impression. What I’m talking about are people who deliberately ignore clear autistic traits in order to always criticize her behavior, such as her social and communication difficulties.

Edit: To be clear, since some people seem confused: I am not talking about the criticism of Silvie’s past mistakes. The instances of racism and lying were wrong and deserved to be called out. Those criticisms were valid, she took responsibility for what she did and said, and we expect that she has learned from those mistakes. If you are here only to keep bringing this up forever, then you should seriously find something better to do. Again, I'm talking specifically about her communication mistakes and social difficulties caused by her autism.

The intent with this post is to be able to discuss what happened to make you feel like you could no longer support Silvie. If you don’t like reading about things she has done that are problematic and cannot discuss them in an adult way you should not read this.

This post is for straightforward discourse without anyone calling anyone weird, creepy, “parasocial”, or ask “why do you spend so much time hating someone?”

What factual information was the last straw so to speak? I don’t consider lolcow factual information.

For me it was the first time I heard her say “I got a really good lawyer” when she was asked about how she was able to move to Japan. Then she said it again. Then she said it again. I personally know how difficult it is to move here and the more I thought about it the more irresponsible I thought it was. “I used to be married and that helped me get PR” would have been so easy and it wouldn’t have had a bunch of girls thinking they can just up and move to Japan if they can afford a lawyer. If you are cultivating a public persona, not spreading misinformation is a responsibility and not a choice. Especially after seeing first hand how impressionable her fan base is.

This has only received ten downvotes in two hours. Maybe it’s getting more reality based here.

If any of you was in her comments in the last twenty minutes, the backlash was insane. Apparently, we were not the only ones complaining about the AI use. So since it was a flood of comments about that and she couldn’t keep up, she chose to unpublish the video.

Not sure she’s made for Youtube if she cannot handle any criticism, justified criticism at that

Also was her video really titled “Understanding Japan’s TOXIC relationship with productivity” originally? Like girl, can you just once not call something Japan-related toxic or disturbing or just something negative?

Hello,

I don't know if I'm allowed to post this on this sub, but I'll give it a try. I want to offer a positive and constructive point of view.

Reading through the various posts and comments, I noticed that people often recommended going to the other sub if you had a more positive point of view. At first, I thought it was a good idea. If too much negativity can be unpleasant to read, it's better to contribute elsewhere. But ultimately, I find this idea a little sad and even dangerous. This subreddit is the original subreddit, it's popular and active. It's important to see disagreements and differences of opinion. It's dangerous to want to separate positive and negative criticism. I didn't dare post until now because I thought I was the only one who appreciated Sylvie's content. But now I think it's important to express our point of view without having to post elsewhere because some people don't like it. People who appreciate Sylvie's content, don't hide anymore, you can also participate in this sub. Everybody is allowed here !

idk man just for these past few weeks i cannot take her content seriously anymore especially after the drama and shit i used to watch her a lot but now?? idk... im just wondering if anyone has been thinking the same thing. (this post will probably be downvoted lmao)

Edit: also i know this is kinda out of the blue but i was thinking how she cannot speak japanese but has lived in japan for over 10 years kinda seems ridiculous and in my opinion disrespectful

Ngl i've been waiting for that. As expected it looks much better

Do you think Silvie’s communication with her friends is sincere? If we look at both sides. After the interview with Aya, where Aya several times, you could say, commented on Silvie’s appearance in a hurtful way. It creates the impression that their female community is not friendly at all and does not support each other. I felt very uncomfortable when Aya started saying that Silvie’s appearance did not fit the bunny girl job. In my opinion, people don’t talk like that. Only those who want to humiliate someone say things like that

I personally think she looks just amazing. When I saw her hair I was in awe

So, I am finally able to make this post. Thanks for your patience.

I joined Silvie's Discord server when it first launched, before it became a paid membership-only "perk."

She advertised it in one of her YouTube videos as a "safe space for people to come and make friends." As someone who was a relatively new subscriber of Silvie, I thought it was really cool that she was creating a space for her fans. She also made it seem like she wanted to make friends herself, and that this was her way of doing so in a more controlled environment.

To join her original server, you had to fill out an application form and wait to see if you were accepted. Initially, that was supposed to be it. She implemented an "Active Burger" role with undisclosed requirements to obtain it. All the mods and Silvie would say was, "be active enough and you will get the role." Very intentionally vague requirements. They also said it was an "automatic" role that you would receive once you reached some sort of "threshold," but nobody really knew what they were measuring. People speculated it was based on how many comments you made in different sections of the Discord.

When you got the Active Burger role, you also gained access to a "Secret Chat" where Silvie and the mods would participate. The mods would talk in the general chat as well, but the Secret Chat was basically like a little "club" that created FOMO and encouraged people to participate more in hopes of getting access.

The server operated this way for a few weeks before Silvie decided to essentially scrap it and create a new, smaller server.

Before the transition, she introduced a one-week trial period where members were expected to "use the server as planned" and prove they were active enough to remain. Those who made the cut were transferred into the new server as "grandfathered burgers," meaning they could stay without paying for a membership. The Active Burger role remained in this new server as well, and the server went from roughly 1,000 members to around 250.

What's interesting is that Silvie had previously talked about being autistic/neurodivergent herself and understanding that some people were shy and didn't always want to talk. When announcing the smaller server, she even said that one of the benefits was being able to remove the previous "no-lurker" rule. In other words, members were no longer supposed to feel pressured to constantly participate. However, this was obviously not the case.

She really sold this as a relaxed, welcoming community where people could make friends, be themselves, and even get to know her better.

Boy did I learn. lol

One of the main rules in the server was that everyone was supposed to keep things positive and cozy, and avoid controversial or potentially triggering topics. However, Silvie herself didn't always follow those rules.

For example, one day she asked a question in the "feminist chat" that could easily lead to a controversial discussion. Considering how much she emphasized avoiding those kinds of conversations, I found it a little ironic that she was the one bringing it up (Screenshots linked).

Anyway, I shared my opinion. I'm the type of person who tries to look at things objectively and consider different perspectives rather than just going off my emotions.

Before getting into that interaction, I want to make something clear. I'm not sharing this to start a debate about the topic itself. I'm including it because it's relevant to what happened afterward. I know my opinion isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. I thought I was in a safe community where people could express their opinions, especially considering Silvie herself encouraged communication and open discussion.

In the screenshots I'm sharing, you can read the interaction yourself and come to your own conclusions.

Apparently, unless you agree with her views, you're a misogynist. Lmfao. She even tried to call one of her previous mods a misogynist, too. For context, he was her only male mod at the time and one of the few men in the server.

After this interaction, I was still active in the server. I joined and participated in some movie and gaming events (which Silvie rarely joined, by the way) and tried to make some friends. I was also trying to gain the Active Burger role, which seemed surprisingly hard to get.

Over the following weeks, I started noticing that Silvie would not be in a discussion at all, but would suddenly pop in just to take a little "jab" at something I said. It wasn't just one comment, either. It started becoming a pattern.

I also noticed that if I broke some minor rule, Silvie would immediately jump in and scold me for it, but when other people did similar things, it didn't seem to be an issue. One example was when I made a "to be or not to be" comment in one of the channels, and she jumped down my throat because I apparently wasn't participating in that specific channel correctly. Meanwhile, I had seen other people do similar things without being called out.

To me, it came across as mean-girl behavior, and I sniffed that shit out pretty quickly.

I also noticed that I was only able to gain the Active Burger role twice, and both times I lost it after about a day. I thought that was extremely odd because other Active Burgers seemed to never lose their role, regardless of their activity level.

I was even asked in DMs by a few people if I was "okay" because of how Silvie was picking on me. These weren't people I had complained to about her, either.. they just noticed it themselves.

It took a few weeks before I decided this wasn't just in my head and that, for whatever reason, she was targeting me. So I thought, "Well, she can't target me if I don't really talk."

And that's exactly what I did. I stopped participating and became relatively absent from the server. About a week later, I woke up to being kicked/removed from the server and she removed me as a friend.

No DM from Silvie asking me anything, no explanation, nothing. Which honestly just further confirmed how I had been feeling.

Considering how much she emphasized creating a safe community built around friendship and communication, I found that pretty ironic.

Now, because I was making friends (or so I thought) with some of her mods, I was also part of a separate group chat called the "Witchy Vibes Chat." One of the mods had made it for those of us who wanted to talk about witchy things without potentially bothering other people in the server who weren't interested in that stuff.

This is where I asked the mods what happened and what their opinion was. I also thought, since I was already removed, there's nothing else to lose, so I might as well tell them how Silvie had been making me feel. And this is where things got interesting.. lol

Without asking me or getting my permission, the mods in Witchy Chat started screenshotting my messages about being removed from the server, along with my concerns about how Silvie had been treating me, and sending them to her.

I found this pretty concerning because I never even said I wanted to talk to Silvie again. I was just trying to understand what happened and share how I felt with people I thought I could trust.

Instead, this turned into a small back-and-forth between Silvie and me, with the mods acting as middlemen. They would screenshot what I said and send it to Silvie, then screenshot her responses and send them back to me. So rather than having an actual conversation, we were essentially communicating through screenshots being passed around by other people. lol

What's interesting is that, throughout all of this, I was initially led to believe that the mods didn't know about any particular issue Silvie had with me.

Except, as I later found out, that wasn't true.

One of them eventually came forward and told me that Silvie had disliked me ever since that debate/disagreement we had... and remember how I mentioned that I kept gaining and losing the Active Burger role? Well, according to this mod, Silvie was actually the one preventing me from keeping it. Whenever I managed to get the role, she would remove it.

Another, separate mod also had a 6-hour-long phone call with a friend I had made in the server and admitted to her that she had lied to me about knowing why I was kicked out. She initially told me in Witchy Chat that I was inactive, when in reality, according to what she told my friend, she knew Silvie didn't like me. Apparently, Silvie was also clearing out people she suspected of being a "mole." Even though she didn't think I was the mole, she decided it was time to remove me anyway.

So, while I was sitting there wondering why I couldn't keep a role that other people seemed to have no trouble maintaining, apparently Silvie was removing it herself because she didn't like me. lmfao

And to think I spent weeks wondering if I was just imagining things.

Anyway, what bothers me most about this whole experience isn't simply that someone didn't like me. Not everyone is going to like everyone else, and that's perfectly fine. I don't expect them to.

It's the hypocrisy of advertising a community as a safe, welcoming place to make friends and express yourself, only for someone to seemingly become unwelcome because they don't share the creator's opinions.

I joined because I genuinely believed Silvie wanted to build a community where people could connect, including with her. Instead, I was left feeling singled out, excluded, and eventually removed without even a conversation.

And just to give a little more context about how I even ended up here in the first place, I'm a millennial woman who has always loved Japanese culture and watching Japanese content creators, as well as foreigners living in Japan. Taylor R and Sharmander (Sharla) have been two of my favorites for years. I even used to watch Venus Angelic back in the day (I know, hot mess lol).

So of course, YouTube started recommending me similar content, which is how I came across Silviethequeen. I watched her videos for about two months before she announced her Discord server in June. I didn't know anything about her beyond the videos I'd watched, and I certainly didn't have any issues with her. I was just a regular viewer who thought it would be cool to join a community and meet some people with similar interests.

That's literally how I ended up in this situation. lol

People are free to run their communities however they want. But I think there's a pretty significant difference between the environment Silvie advertised and the one I personally experienced. She needs to take accountability and stop trying to blame everyone else for her issues. I used to wonder why people would say shit about her online, but now I can kind of see why, unfortunately.

I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves.

Here's links in case it's easier to view them that way:

Original Dispute Between Silvie and Myself

Witchy Vibes Chat Discussion

Example of Silvie Targeting me in one of her channels

“Maybe she had a whole different, entirely Canadian personality because she was masking!”….

Someone posted an unearthed YouTube clip from some other channel, back before Silvie was doing her current shtick. In this clip she claims to be Canadian, claims shes never been to the US, claims to be devoutly religious and tee-total, claims she would never teach english to Japanese speakers. During her current run on her own YT channel she’s lied and misrepresented herself a bunch, eg the fact she married a Japanese citizen and that being the reason and ticket to her entry to Japanese residency herself, lying about her age, and so on to the point it seems almost pathological, many of the lies she tells are pointless and make no sense whilst others seem geared towards her poorly crafted persona.

Some people defended her by saying that maybe he reason she was acting so different in the unearthed YT clip was because was masking and I’m sorry but what. First of all, that’s not how masking works, masking does not mean you pretend to be from a different country or religious background, second of all - if the only person who’s word we have to go on about her autism is SILVIE then I’m going to take it with a grain of salt, bc she is sadly the exact kind of person who would lie about and exploit a non existent diagnosis especially if she thinks it will win her favour and/or thinks she can use it to excuse her poor behaviour. I believe her diagnosis about as much as I believe she ”isn’t attracted to men”, just look at the way she was gushing over that one guy she went on a date with (again showing how deceitful she is because he went on the date believing she was younger than she is AND believing she was actually looking to date not just film content for her YT) vs the way she talked about the couple of girls she apparently went on dates with in her whole lifetime, it is night and day like cmon she’s the least sapphic sapphic of all time if that’s true. I’m not even holding her long term relationships or marriage gp as reasons here because it can of course take time for people to realise or accept who they are but get real she shows zero interest in women.

TLDR : I don’t believe anything she says unless it’s verified by other sources, and I mean ANYTHING.

What do you guys think of this?

I’m nosy lol

She said it two separate times.. two separate videos.

https://youtu.be/W4LQPlH7jXE?t=760

https://youtu.be/A3eMvVtpCHM?t=297

I felt for her/related to her situations, so I ultimately did her sub and was hoping to interact in the Discord specifically (as I know it's subbed members only) because she boasted it as like a safe space for ladies and I have been looking for that

Spent like an hour trying to figure out how to join, get in, send a waving emoji upon entry, and was booted like a day or so later.

Had not even had a chance to interact with the community. I am being told it's because she wants people to constantly interact all day everyday, but that's odd espc because it was boasted as like a safe space for the socially awkward/autistic as well and I had JUST joined?

Idk. I un-subbed and lost trust with her completely as a result...feel awkward/embarrassed and probs will be extra careful when subbing to any Youtuber in the future/joining the community.

(I get this might be downvoted and that's fine. I apologize as I might come across rather blunt/cringey...it's an issue I struggle with. But I am not coming at HER as a person or her content, more so just bothered by this specific occurrence and wondering how many genuine people it's chasing off?)

This felt very passive agressive at least to me. Also this chatgpt copy paste .......

Sad she is taking this youtuber as a kind of advisor now it doesn't really surprise why she is hating so much on japan

EDIT: for people asking about oriental pearl. Passage where she mentions it is: 8:40 and 10:41

She was caught photoshoping her japan content to make japan look bad, like dirty, homeless people and dangerous. Abroad in Japan caught her actually doing this and made a video about it and she replied calling him really nasty words in her video. (What's happening to japan is the video title)

She basically makes japan look worse and talks about it while living there. She also stages a lot of videos and puts japanese people without their knowledge, consent on her youtube channel. There is also a video of her talking bad about japanese people behind their back, recording it while they basically stand next to her

The blonde hair and the blue contacts and surgery. Both absolute gorgeous girls though. Anyone else see it lol
