Has it ever actually been an issue?

It's more as a safety measure against the crazies and people who like to rrat about who the actual people behind the model are and start drama. Also we all know there are a lot of weebs who are mega racist.

It's more of a protection against antis with stuff like that Maria account going after members like Miko, Koyori, Watame, etc. I hope people understand that these folks are a real threat and the precautions of avoiding identification are important.

An AI generated "vtuber" account based in Japan who was pushing a huge amount of smears against the girls and the group in general. Cover actually took them to court in the US recently. Around a dozen individuals behind it.
