基本的に、疲れてしまう程徹底的にやるのは、防犯レベルが落ちます。
個人発信を続ける為の対処ですので、安全をある程度維持出来ても、続けられなくなってしまうのは失敗です。
なので、必要な大枠を必ず整理してから、どれを取り入れるか決めてください。
現実生活の対処が3つ。
家の中、外での行動、それと社会的な対応です。(個人で個人弁護士との契約をとても強く勧めます。)
ネット生活の対処が2つ
個人発信と個人購入です。
合計5つの種類の対処が必要です。
全部いきなりやらずに、購入計画、生活レベルに合わせた順序を1月毎に計画し、取り入れる防犯器具は全て動作テストと録音または録画データがどれだけ保存できるのか。その動画の精度はどれ位なのかを最低3回は、雨の日、晴れた日、曇りの日、真夏の高温時、真冬の低温時で差が出るのかをチェックし、貴方が必要なデータが取得可能な機種かどうかをネットや店頭で納得が行くまで調べてから、購入を決めて下さい。
現実生活での対処 1
顔出しをしている方も、していない方も個人発信者は、Uber Eatsは全部直接受け取ってはいけません。
ヒカキンさんも、顔を見せないで、あれだけ凄い警備のスタジオや居住地でも直接受け取っていません。
オートロックであっても、同じ階の住人が長期留守、最近新しく出入りしている方がおられる場合は、置き配ボックスの蓋付きを用意して下さい。(私個人の意見ですが、鍵を付けると入れる時に鍵を渡すとか、また別の番号を準備し、いちいち変えないと防犯レベルが維持出来ませんので、良い置き配ボックスが出来るまで余りお勧めはしません)
そしてエレベーターが降りきって3分後から、様子を必ず見て、食事を受け取って下さい。(音で分かります)
現実生活での対処 2
たとえ1分でも外出する時、フロアに出る時は、格好はきちんとした服に徹底して下さい。
今はそうでもありませんが、90年代はインターネットをやっているだけで、現実では異常者のような、黙って見ていてネットをやっていない(当時HTMLというソースを書ける人間は限られていたからです)自分達の悪口を実名で書くんでしょう? という目で見られていたんです。
2026年の今は逆に、芸能人みたいに何でも見せたいんでしょう?
知って欲しいんでしょう?
ラクして稼いで、乱れた生活をしているんでしょう? という目で見られています。
なので、必ずクソ真面目な硬い格好か、お洒落であるなら隙の無いお洒落な格好をして下さい。
ネット生活の対処 1
何を言われようと、どう問われようと、実名実住所は決して明かしてはいけません。
見つけ出して殺して捨ててくれと言っているようなものです。
過去の話もどんどんぼかして、違うように、誰がとか何処か、時間、日付け、は何だか分からないように徹底しましょう。
これをフェイクを掛けると言います。
現実生活での対処 3
美容室では、個人発信者であるのを徹底して知らぬふりをしているか、アカウント名を隠して何かやっているとだけ言いましょう。
スタイリストの名前は決して公開してはいけません。
ご自身へのヘイトを防げます。
現実生活での対処 4
良く行くお店の人がチラチラこちらを伺うようになったら、
1、もう行かない
2、行っても相槌だけ打って何も答えないよう、無視する。
3、行っても日付けを大幅にズラして公開しましょう。
現実生活での対処 5
金銭的に余裕があるなら、スーパー等の食材は大手企業に固定しましょう。
その際の料金支払いは、必ずネット上に記録が残る支払い方(カード、電子マネー)、またはネット注文に徹底しましょう。(私はネット注文です)
万が一のことが起こった場合、誰が自分を殺したか、後で分かるようにしておく為です。
(大昔、インターネットと同人市場で同人本を制作されていた、アマチュアで活動しておられた作家さんが、手伝いに勝手に押しかけて来る見知らぬ自称読者が来て困る。と知人に話していた後、自室で殺害されています。)
商品の受け取りは全部午前中にして下さい。
ウィークデイのほうが配達した人物が店舗に帰って来ないのがすぐ分かるからです。
ある程度、アクセスが増え始めたら、行くスーパー、行くドラッグストアをランダムにして下さい。
もう大手と言って良い程になったら、これに交通機関も全部行き先が同じなら路線を、違う行き先なら降りる駅を変えます。
現実生活での対処 6
洗濯物は基本、人が見ている可能性を考えて干す場所を振り分けましょう。
但し、必ずカーテンの開け閉めは、一般常識の範囲でやりましょう。
いつも夜型なら、周辺住人の方の景色として、いつも夜に電気が漏れ、昼は白いカーテンの所を作りましょう。
防犯と違和感なら当然防犯を取ります。
いつもカーテンを閉めておいて良いです。
現実生活での対処 7
ゴミですが、行く店をランダム設定にするのが実行可能なら、レシートはそんなに気にしなくても良いです。
どうせ異常性愛執着で普段より本気で追われる時は、もっと洒落にならない情報を取られるので、考えるのはレシートまでで良いです。
サニタリーナプキン、避妊具は、ドラッグストアやアマゾンで黒い小さなビニール袋が売っていますので、そちらに入れ、さらに生ゴミの袋に入れて下さい。
外出先では必ず持ち帰るようにして下さい。
実は仕事で他所の会社にお邪魔した時は、女性はマストアイテムなんだそうですよ。
現実生活での対処 8
バーは必ず防犯カメラの画角に座っていて下さい。
店内になければ、入り口付近がベターです。
他に人が居ない場合は、カウンターの真ん中辺りに、奥のシートはなるべく遠慮しましょう。
(大体シート席の奥に化粧室があるからです)
不審人物が入って来たなと思ったら、すぐ出て下さい。
トイレで押し込まれる可能性があるからです。
当然、公園のトイレは急な時以外は、決して入ってはいけません。
現実生活での対処 9
通りは、全部防犯カメラ、店舗、会社の防犯カメラがある所を好んで歩きましょう。
いつ、どのように怪我を負わされたのか、不審者がどの位の間隔で後を歩いていたのか、どのように自分が死んだのか、分かるようにする為です。
コンビニエンスストア店内の防犯カメラを店の外で意識して、後ろ姿を映っておくようにしましょう。
現実生活での対処 10
金銭的余裕を作って、ご自宅に防犯カメラを備え付けましょう。
現実生活での対処 11
お持ちのスマートフォンの本体のGPSだけ使いましょう。
全部切っていても緊急電話を掛ける時は、GPSは動きます。
切っていて良いです。
また通信販売の配達を装い、オートロックのインタフォンを鳴らし、ドアを開けさせ、部屋のインタフォンを鳴らさないイタズラや、出前、配達予定時刻をWi-Fiから吸い出して、少し早いタイミングで入って来る者が現実に居ますので(これは最近の被害)、おかしいと思ったら、絶対にドアを開けないで下さい。
インタフォンにカメラが着いていなければ、全部置き配にしましょう。
現実生活での対処 12
管理人さんがまともそうなら、通販を良くする、とか、ヤマトのいつも来る人が安心で助かるとか、あなたの部屋に出入りする業者の情報を法で拘束されている社会的信用が高い人物に渡しましょう。
町内の人は辞めておいたほうが無難です。
ビル管理業務に従事する人は、厳格な法律でその身分を保証されています。
ビル管理業に従事する人があなたにおかしな言動をした場合は、その管理人が務める東京本社か、本社が地方にある場合は、弁護士、警察に連絡しましょう。
現実生活での対処 13
出掛ける時は、夜9時までにしましょう。
夜遅くなる時は、安心できるタクシーでなければ、交通機関を使い、今大声を出したり、走って逃げたりしても必ず誰か気が付く場所以外、通らないようにしましょう。
現実生活での対処 14
ネット生活の対処 2
疲れている時にミスをします。
疲れている時は外出の予定を変えましょう。
疲れている時は、ネットでの個人発信を知っている人とは、電話、メール、チャット等でコミュニケーションを取るのを止めましょう。
疲れている時に、発信するのも止めましょう。
炎上が事実、複数のアカウントが個人それぞれであるのを確認出来た場合、コメント欄を切りましょう。
騒ぎを受け取らなければ、大体の炎上はすぐ終わります。
またおかしなメールが来たら、すぐ警察に転送しましょう。
言い掛かりに等しい騒ぎが起こっていたり、同時に疲れている時や気持ちが落ち込んでいる時は、発信を1週間程伸ばし、他のテーマの発信を心掛けましょう。
ネット生活の対処 3
個人発信でやる場合、プロダクションでは無く、最初に個人弁護士と契約しましょう。
顔出しする、しないに関わらず、料金が続く限り個人弁護士と契約しましょう。
メディアと契約する仕事をする場合は、1アカウント(1個人発信)、1エージェント契約を個人弁護士と必ず交わし、ネゴシエイター(交渉業務)、ビジネス・マナー・ディレクター等をお願いし、貴方の不利になる条件、契約か、契約を交わす双方が有利な条件、契約なのか、を整理して貰いましょう。
正直言って、何かネットや社会でアクシデントが起こった場合、私個人の目では、オフィシャル・アカウントや企業のパブリック・スピークが2026年現在の日本では、とても下手だと思っています。
もし個人発信で騒ぎが起こった場合、旧NTTの電話番号案内の経験があるオペレーターのマナーガイドを探すか、スピーチディレクション・コンサルティング企業の中で、アメリカ社会で企業のコンサルティングができるレベルの会社を探し、ご自身の契約弁護士と一緒に選んだほうが良いと思います。
私が良いのではないか、と思う所は、
株式会社博報堂(Powerful Speech Developers)です。
* 特徴: 大手広告代理店の博報堂が提供する、経営者向けの“伝わる”スピーチ構築コンサルティングサービスです。私の記憶では、 エミリー・ポスト研究所(The Emily Post Institute)が古くから結果を出している所です。
*
* サービス内容: 企業で歴代トップのスピーチライターを務めたエグゼクティブコンサルタントや、元アナウンサーの音声表現コンサルタント、シナリオライターらと連携し、聴衆の心を動かすスピーチを戦略的にディレクションします。Google AIより
私の母校でもこちらのマナーを覚えろ、と言われていた記憶があります。
* エミリー・ポスト研究所(The Emily Post Institute): アメリカのマナー(エチケット)において、最も公式で歴史のあるファミリー企業。ビジネスマナーの研修や書籍の発行、マナーディレクター(講師)の育成を行っています。Google AIより
こちらも、お勧めして大丈夫だと思います。
* ミス・マナーズ(Miss Manners / ジュディス・マーティン): アメリカの新聞等で長年公式なマナーコラムを連載している、全米で最も有名なマナーの権威。Google AIより
ネット生活の対処 4
私個人の感じていることですが。
個人でも企業でも、何かアクシデントやトラブルが起こり、ネットでアカウントの公式として対応をするのに、
どうして全員、ご自身の自己紹介を入れるんでしょう?
(EX:自分もこのアニメキャラ好きです。家族も好物です。昨日近所の人に誉められました、等)
それは親しみを感じてもらうより、必要以上に頭を下げすぎて、不安を感じている相手(ユーザー、客)に、オフィシャルからの距離感の混乱を招きます。
相手は友達では無く、不安を感じており、その不安を公式側とユーザー(客側)に、同時に整理をしてあげて、今回のこの不安の形はどれか、何が原因だったのかを、互いに明確にした後、
対応策を明記し、
時間が掛かるなら3日後なり1週間後なり明確に日付けを教え、その後同じアカウントで、その件について何を発表するのか、その予定はあるのか。あるなら何処で再びオフィシャルがアナウンスをするのか。
を、はっきり書けば良いだけなんです。
ネット生活の対処 5
こういう時にジョークを書く必要は一切ありません。
一般社会でも日常の場所では、ジョークが言えない位の人と思われていた方が、何かと得です。
私は普段、冗談を全く言いません。
ミドルハイに差し掛かって来ると、冗談を言うと、それが面白かろうが、面白くなかろうが、年下の方や年若い方々が困るからです。
現実生活での対処 15
又、日常空間では勤めて穏やかで、あらたまっているけれど柔らかい雰囲気をわざと出しているので、余程親しい人で無い限り冗談を言いません。
ネット生活の対処 6
私個人は、個人発信のアカウント公式対応でも、企業アカウントの公式対応でも、感情的になっている対応と自己紹介をイチイチ入れて相手に擦り寄る態度を見せる対応を、信用しません。
一般的に問題解決能力が無い人間の代表要素がコレです。
こう言った場所で、勝とうとするタイプが出て来た時点で、どうしてこの企業はこの人をクビにしないのだろう? と本気で考えています。
相手の不安を解消し、企業や個人発信者アカウント(皆さんのことです)の利益と、ユーザー又はお客様を安心させ、
起こっているアクシデントを収束する為の場所で、
どうして相手を攻撃して屈服させ、自らの評価を下げなければならないのでしょうか?
自らだけで無く、所属している会社の社会評価が下がるのに。
友達を作りに出て行ってるのでは無く、企業か発信者として、アカウント公式発言をする時に、
ネットミームで出世するジョークを考える人は、
一生失敗しか引き起こしません。
冷静で少し固い位の態度が1番、鎮静効果を持っています。
ネット生活の対処 7
何か起こった時、
一般社会での価値基準内・一般常識の範囲内で、
ご自身の損益が出る行動は決して取ってはいけません。
幾ら、うそ、ひきょう、かくしごとをするな、等、道徳観念上だけでのワードを出されても、その逆を選択するぐらいの気持ちでいると余り失敗がありません。
企業公式の場合は、ガールフレンド・ボーイフレンドと会っていても、いちいち言わなくて結構です。そんな事誰も問題にしません。
個人発信の金額の利益、普段の暮らしで静かに暮らせなくなることを、道徳を悪用した脅迫で手放してはいけません。
個人名や顔、住所、職種を公開しないスタイルでやっているのだから、幾らうそだの、何だの言われても、貴方の日常生活が失われた損害賠償金をそのアカウント達は払ってくれません。
こういう考え方を徹底しましょう。
ネット生活の対処 8
執拗にミスをしたと言い続けるアカウントは、貴方にされては困ることを叫びます。
汚いぞ、逃げるのか等も、逃げられては困るから言うんです。
とっとと逃げましょう。
目的は、個人発信を続けながら、単発で起こるトラブルを収める事です。
ネットから一旦離れて、3日後くらいに通常発信をすれば問題ありません。
ネット生活の対処 9
顔出しをし、架空の住空間のスタジオを用意し、インフルエンサーならびにバタフライ・エフェクターとして、企業と単発の契約を結ぶ場合、音楽、ファッション、書籍、フードデザイン、フードレシピの制作等、一つずつ、
今まで個人弁護士と契約をした後、エージェント契約をしています。
その外枠に、レーベルを作りましょう。
同じように法契約で必ず貴方個人を社会的に守る契約の後、エージェント契約で企業と個人発信者の契約とその利益、分配、損益が出た時の対処、損害賠償等をプロ同士で結んでもらいます。
必ず個人発信者にとって、発信プラットフォームのイメージを守り、社会的に守り、貴方の利益を追求してくれる契約「しか結びません」
その上で、一つ一つのメディアアプローチを1分野ないし1媒介種類(ex:紙の本、デジタルの本、音で媒介してフォロワーにアプローチするもの(訴求するもの)に音とイメージ写真・イメージ動画(MV) 等)、一つ一つレーベルを作っておきます。これでかなりトラブルが防げます。
また海外でのやり方が違うものも、国内の個人弁護士と該当国の個人弁護士でトラブルの無い、個人発信者に有利な契約が比較的スムーズに結べます。
現実生活での対処 16
深夜の騒音、ベランダの掃除、ライティングをする際、同じ棟に小さなお子さんが暮らしていないか等、一般常識の範囲で、必ず気を遣いましょう。
好きなことをやる。
自分の思う通りに進んでいく、自由は、
他の人がやらなくても良い、面倒くさい細かい気遣いに、
一般常識との兼ね合いを混ぜながら、
現実生活での無数の気遣いと無数の対処を
やらなければならないんです。
好きなことを続けていく、続けられるように、
自分だけで自分の発信を管理していくのが、
個人発信者の1番の成功モデルです。
心身ともに健康で安全な上に、自由に自分が引き受けられる責任の範囲内でやるのが、本来のやり方です。
理解されないのを嘆くより、記録を取り続け、ヘイトかどうか整理し続け、一つ一つを洗練された世界基準の対処をしましょう。
ご自身と自分の発信を守りましょう。
弁護士や制度、法令、法律をどんどん活用しましょう。
大きく羽ばたくのに遠慮はいりません。

Generally speaking, if you go so far as to exhaust yourself, it will lower your security level.
Since this is a measure to help you continue posting personally, it would be a failure if you were unable to keep it up—even if you managed to maintain a certain level of safety.
Therefore, be sure to outline the necessary framework first, and then decide which measures to implement.
There are three areas to address in your daily life:
your home, your behavior both inside and outside the home, and your interactions with society. (I strongly recommend that you hire a personal attorney.)
There are two areas to address regarding your online life:
personal online activity and online purchases.
In total, you need to address five different areas.
Don’t try to do everything at once. Instead, plan a monthly schedule based on your budget and lifestyle, and for every security device you implement, test its functionality and verify how much audio or video data it can store. Check the video quality at least three times—on rainy, sunny, and cloudy days, as well as during the high temperatures of midsummer and the low temperatures of midwinter—to see if there are any differences in performance. Research online and in stores until you are fully satisfied that the model can capture the data you need before deciding to purchase.

Real-Life Precautions 1
Whether you show your face or not, as an individual content creator, you should never accept Uber Eats deliveries in person.
Even Hikakin—who keeps his face hidden—doesn’t accept deliveries in person, even in his studio or residence with such tight security.
Also, be sure to check on the situation and pick up your meal three minutes after the elevator has reached the bottom floor. (You’ll know when it arrives by the sound.)
Real-Life Precautions 2
Even if you’re only stepping out for a minute or heading out onto the floor, make sure to always dress in proper, presentable clothing.
It’s not like that now, but back in the ’90s, just using the internet made you look like a weirdo in real life. People would silently watch you—especially if you weren’t online yourself (since back then, only a limited number of people could write HTML source code)—and look at you as if to say, “You’re probably writing nasty things about us under your real name, aren’t you?”
Now, in 2026, it’s the opposite: people look at you as if to say, “You want to show off everything like a celebrity, don’t you?
You want people to know, right?
People look at you as if to say, “You’re making easy money and living a wild lifestyle, aren’t you?”
So, make sure to either dress in a super serious, stiff way or, if you’re going to be stylish, dress in a way that leaves no room for criticism.
Dealing with Online Life 1
No matter what anyone says or how they question you, you must never reveal your real name or actual address.
It’s like telling them to track you down, kill you, and dump your body.
Be thorough in blurring details about your past—make sure it sounds different, and ensure that specifics like who, where, times, and dates remain unclear.
This is called “faking it.”
Real-Life Precautions 3
At the hair salon, either act as if you have no idea you’re a content creator, or simply say you’re doing something while keeping your account name hidden.
Never reveal the stylist’s name.
This will help prevent hate directed at you.
Real-Life Precautions 4
If the staff at a store you frequent start glancing your way,
1. Stop going there.
2. If you do go, ignore them—just nod in response without saying anything.
3. If you do go, wait a long time before posting about it.
Real-Life Precautions 5
If you have the financial means, stick to buying groceries from major chains at supermarkets and the like.
When paying, make sure to use payment methods that leave an online record (credit cards, digital wallets) or order exclusively online. (I order online.)
This is so that, in the unlikely event something happens, it will be clear later who killed me.
(A long time ago, an amateur author who created doujinshi for the internet and the doujin market told an acquaintance that they were troubled by a stranger—a self-proclaimed reader—who kept showing up uninvited to offer help. Shortly after that, they were murdered in their own room.)
Please arrange for all deliveries to be made in the morning.
This is because on weekdays, it’s immediately obvious that the delivery person won’t be returning to the store.
Once your traffic starts to increase to a certain extent, vary the supermarkets and drugstores you visit.
Once you’ve grown to the point where you can be considered a major player, apply this to public transportation as well: if all your destinations are the same, change the route; if they’re different, change the station where you get off.
Real-Life Precautions 6
When hanging laundry, generally choose different spots, keeping in mind that people might be watching.
However, be sure to open and close your curtains within the bounds of common sense.
If you’re a night owl, create a consistent view for your neighbors by letting light leak out at night and keeping the curtains white during the day.
If you have to choose between security and looking out of place, prioritize security, of course.
It’s perfectly fine to keep your curtains closed at all times.
Real-Life Precautions 7
As for trash, if you can randomize the stores you visit, you don’t need to worry too much about receipts.
Anyway, when you’re being pursued more seriously than usual due to an obsessive fixation, they’ll obtain far more serious information, so you only need to worry about receipts.
For sanitary napkins and contraceptives, small black plastic bags are sold at drugstores and on Amazon; please put them in those bags and then place them inside a food waste bag.
When you’re out, be sure to bring them home with you.

This is the kind I found at a local drugstore.
Actually, I heard that when women visit other companies for work, this is a must-have item.

Real-Life Precautions 8
Always sit within the field of view of the bar’s security cameras.
If there are no cameras inside the bar, it’s best to sit near the entrance.
If no one else is there, sit toward the middle of the counter; try to avoid the seats in the back as much as possible.
(This is because restrooms are usually located behind the back seats.)
If you suspect a suspicious person has entered, leave immediately.
This is because there is a risk of being forced into the restroom.
Naturally, you should never use public restrooms in parks unless it’s an emergency.
Real-Life Precautions 9
When walking on the street, choose routes with security cameras—whether from stores or businesses.
This is so you can determine when and how you were injured, how close a suspicious person was following you, and how you died.
When inside a convenience store, be mindful of the security cameras outside the store and make sure your back is captured on camera.
Real-Life Precautions 10
Set aside some money and install security cameras at your home.
Real-Life Precautions 11
Use only the GPS built into your smartphone.
Even if you have all other features turned off, the GPS will still work when you make an emergency call.
It’s fine to keep it turned off.
Also, there are actually people who commit pranks—such as pretending to be mail-order delivery personnel, ringing the intercom for an auto-lock system to get you to open the door, and then not ringing the intercom for your apartment—or who extract takeout and delivery schedules from your Wi-Fi network and show up slightly earlier than scheduled (this is a recent type of crime). If anything seems off, absolutely do not open the door.
If your intercom doesn’t have a camera, have all deliveries left at the entrance.
Real-Life Precautions 12
If the building manager seems trustworthy—for example, if they’re good at handling online orders or if the same Yamato delivery person always comes and makes you feel safe—share information about contractors entering your apartment with someone who has high social credibility and is bound by law.
It’s safer to avoid sharing this information with people in your neighborhood.
People working in building management are protected by strict laws that guarantee their professional status.
If a building manager behaves strangely toward you, contact the Tokyo headquarters where that manager is employed, or—if the headquarters is located in a regional area—contact a lawyer or the police.
Real-Life Precautions 13
When going out, make sure to leave by 9:00 PM.
If you’re out late, use public transportation unless you’re in a safe taxi, and avoid areas where no one will notice if you shout or run away.
Real-Life Precautions 14
Dealing with Online Life 2
You’re more likely to make mistakes when you’re tired.
If you’re tired, reschedule your plans to go out.
When you’re tired, stop communicating via phone, email, or chat with people who know about your online posts.
Also, avoid posting anything online when you’re tired.
If a backlash is confirmed and you can verify that multiple accounts belong to different individuals, disable the comments section.
If you ignore the commotion, most backlashes will end quickly.
Also, if you receive a suspicious email, forward it to the police immediately.
If you’re facing a baseless controversy or are feeling tired or down, postpone posting for about a week and try to focus on other topics instead.
Dealing with Online Life 3
If you’re working as an independent creator, sign a contract with a Personal Lawyer first—not with a talent agency.
Whether you appear on camera or not, maintain that contract with your Personal Lawyer as long as you continue to earn income.
When working on projects that involve contracts with media outlets, be sure to sign a contract with a Personal Lawyer for each account (each individual channel).

When working on projects that involve contracts with media outlets, be sure to sign a contract with a Personal Lawyer for each account (each individual channel).
Ask them to act as a Negotiator and business etiquette advisor, and have them review the terms to determine whether a contract is disadvantageous to you or whether it offers mutually beneficial conditions for both parties.
To be honest, in my personal opinion, when it comes to handling incidents online or in society, official accounts and corporate public speaking in Japan as of 2026 are, in my view, very poor.
If a controversy arises from a personal post, I recommend finding a manners guide written by an operator with experience at the former NTT’s telephone directory service, or seeking out a speech direction and consulting firm capable of advising companies in American society, and selecting one in consultation with your own contract attorney.
One firm I believe would be a good choice is
Hakuhodo Inc. (Powerful Speech Developers).

This is just my personal observation.
Whether it’s an individual or a company, when some kind of incident or problem occurs and they respond to it online through an official account,
why does everyone feel the need to include a personal introduction?
(e.g., “I’m a fan of this anime character too. My family loves it as well. A neighbor complimented me on it yesterday,” etc.)
Rather than fostering a sense of familiarity, this comes across as excessive apologizing, which confuses the user—who is already feeling anxious—about the appropriate distance between themselves and the official account.
The other party isn’t a friend; they’re feeling anxious. You need to help both the official side and the user (or customer) sort through that anxiety at the same time. Once you’ve mutually clarified exactly what form this anxiety is taking and what caused it,
clearly state the corrective measures,
and if it will take time, specify a date—whether it’s three days or a week from now.
Then, clearly state where and when the official account plans to make any further announcements regarding the matter, and whether such announcements are scheduled. If so, where exactly will the official announcement be made?
That’s all you need to clearly state.
Dealing with Online Life 5
There is absolutely no need to make jokes at times like this.
Even in everyday social situations, it’s generally better to be seen as someone who doesn’t crack jokes.
I never tell jokes in my daily life.
As I approach middle age, I’ve found that when I tell a joke—whether it’s funny or not—it makes younger people feel uncomfortable.
Real-Life Precautions 15
Furthermore, in everyday settings, I make a conscious effort to maintain a calm, reserved yet gentle demeanor, so I don’t tell jokes unless I’m with someone I’m very close to.
Dealing with Online Life 6
Personally, whether it’s an official response from a personal account or a corporate account, I do not trust responses that come across as emotional or those that include a self-introduction every single time in an attempt to curry favor with the other party.
Generally speaking, this is a classic trait of people who lack problem-solving skills.
When I see someone in these kinds of situations who tries to “win” the argument, I genuinely wonder, “Why doesn’t this company fire this person?”
This is a space meant to alleviate the other party’s concerns, protect the interests of the company or individual account (that’s you), reassure users or customers,
and resolve the incident at hand.
So why would anyone attack the other party to force them to submit, thereby damaging their own reputation?
Not only does it harm their own reputation, but it also damages the social reputation of the company they represent.
You’re not out there to make friends; when speaking on behalf of a company or as a content creator through an official account,
anyone who comes up with jokes based on internet memes to get ahead
will cause nothing but failure for the rest of their life.
A calm, even slightly stiff demeanor is most effective at defusing the situation.
Dealing with Online Life 7
When something happens,
within the bounds of societal values and common sense,
you must never take any action that puts your own interests at risk.
No matter how often you’re told—based solely on moral principles—not to lie, act cowardly, or keep secrets, if you maintain a mindset where you’d choose the opposite, you’ll rarely fail.
In the case of an official corporate account, even if you’re meeting your girlfriend or boyfriend, there’s no need to mention it every time.
That’s all you need to clearly state.

No one will make an issue of it.
Do not let profits from your personal online activities—or the ability to live a quiet, normal life—be taken away by threats that misuse morality.
Since you operate anonymously—without revealing your real name, face, address, or occupation—no matter how much people accuse you of lying or make other claims, those accounts will not pay you compensation for any damage caused to your daily life.
Let’s make this way of thinking second nature.

Real-Life Precautions 16
Whether it’s late-night noise, cleaning your balcony, or doing lighting work, always be considerate within the bounds of common sense—for example, by checking to see if there are any small children living in the same building.
Do what you love.
The freedom to do things exactly as you please
means you have to navigate
the countless small, often tedious considerations—things others might skip—
while balancing them with common sense,
and you have to handle
the countless concerns and solutions
that real life presents.

To keep doing what you love—and to ensure you can continue doing so—
managing your own content independently
is the most successful model for individual content creators.
The proper way to do this is to stay physically and mentally healthy and safe, while operating freely within the scope of responsibility you can handle.
Rather than lamenting a lack of understanding, keep a record of everything, continue to sort out what constitutes hate speech, and respond to each instance with a refined, globally recognized approach.
Protect yourself and your creations.
Make full use of lawyers, systems, regulations, and laws.
There’s no need to hold back when it comes to spreading your wings.
If I have anything else to add, I’ll be sure to let you know in the main text at that time.
