- Unconfirmed connections between an individual and their past, such as past professional or personal affiliations.

Please remain mindful of everyone’s privacy and consider the safety of all individuals at OffKai Fest. The final decision on what constitutes a breach of this policy lies with OffKai Fest staff.
We ask that everyone play an active role in respecting privacy so that all attendees, including VTubers, feel safe and encouraged to participate fully in future events.
