Seth becomes Bonbi's new e-boyfriend, but the nature of the relationship seems fundamentally different, and this is where the image of her starts to fall apart over time: Bonbi joining *** in the first place, Bonbi and anonce erp'ing in the public server under alt accounts (e.g. horse cock memes stem from that), them repeatedly "trolling" Bonbi's fanbase, Bonbi opening a Patreon & Ko-fi only a month or so after reiterating that she doesn't want cosplay to become a job and doesn't want money... Of course, for the longest time anonce denied that he was in fact dating Bonbi, and that it was all just jokes. There were some inner circle people that knew, but for one reason or another they kept quite at the time. Where things get even darker, is when people found out that apparently anonce uses the same account name nearly everywhere, including lolicon forums he used to be a member of, and, understandably, a guy admiring the "innocence and body type" of lolis working hard to get close to a girl admired for her innocence, raises some flags. His version of the story is that he was addicted to pornography and went down a dark road, but, of course, all of that is in the past. He also used to sell nudes on /b/ apparently. In March-April is when shit really went down. Bonbi comes forward to some people she was close to, and says that Seth had basically emotionally abused her: he threatened suicide if she wouldn't talk with him, he forced her to "do uncomfy things", tried to control who she could talk to, send her links to pornography, asked her about her vagina, etc. Remember though that Bonbi apparently lied about Deepsauce, so how much of this is actually real is sort of left up to interpretation. Eventually people strong-arm anonce out of his own server, and everybody thinks that Bonbi breaks up with him in April. Then she releases a retraction that says she consented to everything they did (even though she is a minor and can't consent, per her own words 6-7 months prior). Bonbi refuses to pursue any kind of legal action, and people just take it as her wanting to forget all about it. She also leaves the *** server shortly thereafter, claiming that she wants to find friends irl and not waste as much time online. Somethings else I didn't mention so far, is that Bonbi was also woefully dishonest throughout most of it. Most of her announcements on *** were not actually written by her, she lied to people constantly (several stream clips that illustrate this nicely, but the same apparently also applies to private chats), and she became more & more narcissistic. Almost everybody that seems to have interacted with Bonbi directly speaks negatively of her personality. One guy basically summarized it as: she secretly revels in drama; she dislikes anybody that actually tries her to do what's best for her (in terms of leaving the house, eating healthier, exercising, focusing on school), and only likes yes-men that go along with whatever she says (against her later statements); she lies and throws people under the bus with no remorse; and she refuses to take responsibility for any of her own actions.
