Koji Oe keeps it real

Anime/relationship/life blogger Koji Oe has called it quits, with a final blog post titled “Poe’s Law.”   Overall, Oe’s story is one of hilariously exaggerated boorishness and horrified reader reactions.

Indeed his relationship with his readers seems to have suffered greatly from matters of misinterpretation, culminating in his infamous ‘I’m dating an ex-fujoshi‘ post and her resultant public breakup with him.

In some ways he resembled shinn87, but where shinn only fabricated the most outrageous of dramatic tales with respect to himself, Koji Oe intermingled real life and fantasy.  He was not the only blogger to do so, but he was perhaps the one who took it the furthest.  While it’s unclear that the titular Poe’s Law perfectly applies to him, as at least some of the time he was in earnest, it’s also clear that a great deal of the time he was not, and people often had difficulty distinguishing the two. As I previously wrote:

Koji Oe’s farcical lines, “Get back in the kitchen,” and so forth, were probably not meant in earnest. His protests that the women did not understand this, however, illustrate a different problem.

Koji Oe’s twitter has also been deleted.
