Data Selling Controversy

Mootwo / Hiro-tan

Following Nishimura's adquisition announcement, 4chan users started choosing a nickname for the new owner, in similar vein on how Poole choose moot as a pseudonim; also creating a personification of him as a usagimimi (boy with rabbit ears), similar to moot-tan being a nekomimi (girl with cat ears) version of moot. This persona has recieved two nicks: Mootwo (as reference to Nishimura being the second owner of 4chan)^[1] and Hiro-Tan.^[2]
