That's sad, but it's a good thing the agency is watching out for its employees.

Online harassment seems to be more of an issue lately. =\ I hope those people will be held accountable for their actions.
(PS Also may be notable that Suzuki Tatsuhisa, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, and Takahashi Mikako are with I'm Enterprise too. Don't think I've even heard of the last three people listed.) |

While I think that is definitely a laudable goal and would love to see them find success, all I can think is:
People are being mean and sometimes untrue on the INTERNET, and you're going to try to stop them? Good luck with that. |

Hate to sound like I'm condoning this, because I'm not, but Welcome to the internet. When you have the veil on anonymity to hide behind people push the envelope and take out their own insecurities on others. South Park has actually had some interesting commentary on the state of the internet and Trolling/Harassment this season. |

Doesn't sound like news. Should be common sense to call the police if you are being harassed. Don't need an agency to do that for you. But it is nice they are taking action.

I doubt the issue will be resolved, but good luck. People who don't deserve such a thing shouldn't experience such things.

As you can see from a lot of the other comments here, there is a common attitude that being harassed online is normal, and wanting to stop it makes you a whiny crybaby instead of a mature adult. Even if you're getting death threats.

As much as I eschew most Japanese voice talent agencies for their notoriously draconian practices, I do applaud I'm Enterprise for looking out for their voice actors/actresses' safety.

Sometimes there are voice actors who have a hidden dark side that their fans do not see.
There has been news reports about what happened to some of them back in 2015. |

So long as it's not illegal it shouldn't matter if they don't get to see it. |

Isn't getting the police involved just going to make it worse? If people have the audacity to troll celebrities, it means they'll have the audacity to troll anyone, including the police. (A really dumb move to do, but when you think you can get away with anything because you're anonymous, you become a lot more reckless.)

But this is the same type of thinking behind rape culture. Didn't want to get raped? Shouldn't have been wearing a short skirt. Didn't want to get death threats online? Shouldn't have an online social account. Harassment shouldn't be an expectation when someone goes online. |

I recognize that online bullying/harassment is an issue but, at least here in the USA, there can be a slippery slope between that and free speech.
