Google’s Furious Comment on Fuwa-chan Raises Concerns About High Penalty Fees

I’m really sorry, this is not something I should report to you all right now, but I said something I shouldn’t have, and it hurt you, and I apologize directly to the person himself.

The TV personality Huwa-chan apologized on X on August 4.

The commotion started when the comedian Yasuko announced on X on August 2 that she was going to be a member of the

Yasuko posted on X on August 2, “Yasuko Olympics, you are great just by being alive, so you all win!

on X on August 2, while Huwa-chan posted the following on her account

In response to Yasuko’s post on X on the 2nd, Huwa-chan posted a rude comment with an emoji: “You’re not great, so please die, you’re eliminated from the qualifiers.

In response, Huwa-chan posted an expletive with an emoji (“You’re not great, so please die!”) on her account.

Huwa-chan immediately deleted the post and apologized, but it was too late. The screenshot was instantly saved and spread by ordinary users.

Yasuko wrote meaningfully

Very sad.

Yasuko posted a meaningful message, “Very sad.

She was probably not drunk because the post was made around 14:00,” Yasuko said. I am tempted to ask myself, “Is this really the first time he has used a backdoor account to slander someone?” I am tempted to ask myself, “Is this really the first time he has used a backdoor account to slander me?

Huwa-chan has been studying abroad since April of this year, which has reduced her exposure, and she may have been somewhat jealous of Yasuko-san, who is flying by the seat of her pants. On the other hand, since Huwa-chan immediately admitted and apologized, some say that she is “still better” compared to other comedians who have recently come under fire on social networking sites. ……

A few hours after her outburst, Huwa-chan took a picture with other comedians in a swimsuit on her Instagram story.

A few hours after his rant, Huwa-chan posted a photo of himself in a swimsuit with other comedians on his Instagram story and wrote, “It’s summer vacation!

In the social networking sites, people said, “That’s too insensitive.

Too insensitive.

“He’s not sorry at all. ……

The post was published on the 6th.

In response to an interview with TBS “NEWS DIG” published on March 6, Huwa-chan’s personal office responded, “As of the time of the post, we have already frozen the post,

As of the time of posting, there is no other account of X, except for the one that has already been frozen.

The “backdoor account misdirection” theory. The “back-account mishap theory” was denied.

What is of interest is Huwa-chan’s future work. His image is very bad because of the “life-and-death” kind of rhetoric.

In fact, the late night broadcast of the radio program “Huwa-chan’s All Night Nippon 0” (Nippon Broadcasting System) was suspended and replaced by another program on the 5th.

In addition to TV and radio programs, she is currently appearing in a commercial for the smartphone Google Pixel.

X, etc.

《Huwa-chan, you’re out of the Google commercial.

Even a magic eraser can’t erase the slanderous comments.

Some people said, “Huwa-chan is out of the Google commercial.

As of the 5th, when the uproar spread, she had not been “erased” from the Google Pixel commercial character, but around noon on the 6th, videos and websites promoting the product became unavailable for viewing at once.

What does Google think about this disturbance? ……

On the 5th, Google sent an e-mail to Google LLC, Google’s Japanese subsidiary, saying

What do you think about the posting of words such as “please die” on a social networking service?

“Have you had any discussions with Huwa-chan’s side?”

On the evening of the 6th, we sent several questions such as the following

Google has a strict policy regarding actions that do not respect others. We have suspended the publication of advertisements, promotional materials, etc. that have been developed on Google Pixel featuring the relevant celebrities. We will make appropriate decisions regarding contractual relationships in accordance with Google’s policies in the future.

responded to this magazine.

It is a dry response to Huwa-chan, who has been promoting Google for many years, but “it can’t be helped,” said an official from an advertising agency.

“This is a Western company, which is even stricter than Japan in dealing with slander and discriminatory remarks. There is a very high possibility that she will be dropped from the board. What is of concern is the penalty fee. If Google determines that Huwa-chan “reduced the value of the product,” they may charge a huge amount of money.

Moreover, Western companies are considerably drier than Japanese companies. If she belongs to an entertainment production company, the company would have to shoulder the penalty once and then the talent would work to pay it back, but in her case, she is a freelancer, so Huwa-chan would have to take responsibility for everything… But in her case, she is a freelancer, so Huwa-chan will have to take responsibility for everything…” (A person related to an advertising agency)

It seems that “one word” has become an irrevocable “one word” for Huwa-chan.
