Cookie☆

About

Cookie☆ (Japanese: クッキー☆) is a nickname given to a fanmade animated drama video “Marisa and Alice’s cookie kiss” (魔理沙とアリスのクッキーKiss), which features many girl characters from Touhou Project.

Despite of voice actor’s horrible bad acting and its cheap plot, this animated video gets a cult following among some of heartless users called_Inmufags_, who are fanatics of the Japanese gay porn phenomena A Midsummer Night’s Lewd Dream, and has been set to the subject for online mockeries on Nico Nico Douga (NND).

Origin

The video “Marisa and Alice’s cookie kiss” was produced by collaborating of 43 members including amatuer voice actors, music creators, illustrators and movie editors who were organized through the web by Rio Hazuna (蓮菜理緒), the scenario writer and the director of this drama.^[1] Its roughly story is: One day, in tea time at Hakurei Shrine with Alice and Reimu, Marisa noticed that she forgot a reciprocal gift to Alice for the Valentine’s day. Marisa challenges making cookies by borrowing the help of Sakuya and other Touhou characters.

The video was uploaded to NND on February 15th, 2010, the next day of St. Valentine’s Day.^[2]

Spread

This video was severely criticized among Touhou fans because of voice actors bad pronunciation and awfully cheap plots written by Rio Hazuna. From the very beginning, the video comments were filled with monstrous calumny by them.

This situation was changed just after Inmufags found this video two days later. They liked it so much because its poorness reminded them of “A Midsummer Night’s Lewd Dream” and other their favorite gay porn videos that were filled with cheap plots and poor acting. They filled comments in the video with their favorite dirty jokes, set it for the subject of mockery as same as gay porn videos, and began making plenty amount of MAD videos reusing it.

Today, Those MAD videos are tagged under “Cookie☆”, the nickname of the original video given by Inmufags.^[3] More than 1000 videos related to “Cookie☆” had been uploaded to NND in its first 2 years, and as its amount is still increasing.^[4]

Rio Hazuna’s Sexual Harassment Suspicion

Meanwhile, Rio Hazuna, the organizer of this project, didn’t favourably receive those dirty comments and parodies, and deleted many of MAD videos and other related videos from NND as the copyright holder of the original video.

Inmufags got mad against Rio’s contradictory behavior because he/she also made that miserable drama by borrowing Touhou creations. They held a large campaign to search his/she and other participants personal information on the social web. In the campaign, they checked up that Rio Hazuna was a middle-aged man as contrasted with his handle sounding like a female, and he never unveiled his sex to female participants until they meet in offline. They also succeeded to contact with several female participants and drew testimony that they suffered his sexual harassment at parties.

Then, the suspicion arose, which Rio Hazuna didn’t care about product quality because he had organized collaboration projects for the purpose of he making special relationships with teenage girls. Inmufags opened a wiki page for this incident^[5], was releasing information at realtime, and continued insulting him in the videos comments.

Finally, Rio Hazuna, putting on the spot, put up the white flag and uploaded an apology about his sexual harassment suspicion to his blog.^[6] Moreover, he forced to retire from all online activities.
