I want to address the Bug Mane TV broadcasting incident from last month. At approximately midnight PST on October 13th, 2017, there was a live broadcast featuring the Bug Mane character. The events that occurred in that broadcast would be considered by any decent person to be at the very least offensive, and at worst, dangerous.

I want to apologize for subjecting my fans to offensive language, dangerous ideas, and making them witness to a crime. Although I am a character whose thoughts and beliefs are not held by any legal person in the real world, the viewers who tuned in to Bug Mane TV are people and did not deserve to be exposed to them.

I have learned a lot about something I didn’t know a month ago about the power dynamic between stars and their fans. To me, the fans were nothing, but to them I was, in many ways, like a God. To wield Godlike power over people and use it to make them watch something like Bug Mane TV is completely unacceptable, and for that, I apologize.

The truth is, there’s more to the Bug Mane enterprise than just me, the Bug Mane character. There are Bug Mane stickers and Bug Mane t-shirts. I hope that all of the people involved Bug Mane related businesses won’t be punished just because I made an awful mistake.

I have decided to step back for the time being, and take the time to listen, and learn. And then maybe listen some more.

In conclusion: I’m sorry. I’m also a fictional character. Will you accept my fictional apology?

Bzz bzz.
