I don't speak English, but I must speak up to save our culture. (ENGLISH ver)

Описание: This is a message from an ordinary person in Japan to creators and viewers worldwide.
Our precious "Yukkuri" culture is struggling due to misunderstandings with video review algorithms and systemic barriers in the payment system for crowdfunding. I used AI to translate my message. Please help us protect this digital folk art.

I would like to provide some additional context:

1. Regarding the English expressions:
The English content was refined by AI (Gemini). I sincerely apologize if there are any expressions that seem inappropriate. Any such issues are likely due to the way I phrased my requests to the AI. I would deeply appreciate it if you could kindly point out any errors.

2. Regarding the "Yukkuri" visuals (head-only style):
The "head-only" style might be surprising to some. However, we fans see these characters and imagine their full forms and stories in our minds. We hope you can understand this unique artistic sensibility.

3. About my position:
I am not a professional YouTuber. I am a beginner who started making videos just a few months ago. I am simply someone who "borrows" these illustrations. I am not an organizer of the crowdfunding campaign.

4. Regarding questions about the crowdfunding:
I cannot answer technical questions about the crowdfunding process. I personally attempted to contribute via sites like DLsite, but failed due to credit card restrictions. Please refer to official sources for accurate information.

Why this Crowdfunding is Necessary:
For over a decade, "Kitsune" has provided these assets for free, but the sheer scale of the community has surpassed what one individual can manage.
Preservation: To ensure the assets remain available for the next 10-20 years.
Legal Defense: To cover costs for handling copyright disputes and misuse.
Professional Stability: To compensate for the significant loss of income caused by administrative burdens.
Please note: A large portion of the funds will be allocated to platform fees, taxes, and outsourcing administrative tasks. This is not for "easy profit," but for the survival of the "Yukkuri" culture.

Update: We are now aiming for "Stretch Goals"!
Even if you cannot contribute financially, simply sharing this video to spread the word would be a tremendous help in reaching our next targets. Your support, whether through a donation or just sharing the link, means the world to us and the future of "Yukkuri" culture.
