General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

Why are some of you guys calling chuubas with roommates on older side hags?
"Hag" is an offensive term with negative connotations.
I think "cougar" or smth along those lines is what you peeps are thinking of.
Or I'm missing something.

I know it's old news that Sora gets put on a pedestal by most of her kouhais, but this clip of Subaru really shines a light on it. She's certainly exaggerating a bit here and there, but through it you can get a feel for the extent to which they seem to feel culturally obligated to elevate her, and it's still wild to me.

Basically Subaru wants to do a "casual talk" stream (sounds like that means no-honorifics, and "impolite" language in general, I guess?), but she's nervous about bringing Sora on. Please, Shuba, do the stream, bring in Sora, and put a dent in those barriers!


Also the background art in this clip is so cute like wtf

People are regularly called fags, faggot, or nigger on here as a term of endearment. Hag barely counts as offensive. The juxtaposition between the insult and the affection is fun.

Kiara did a Holo-Talk with her, so I’m sure Sora would be down with a casual talk stream. Sora always seems like she wants to join in on a lot of the craziness that goes on with everyone. I remember she and Pekora had some good back and forth during their collab.

It's a joke/stereotype about how Japanese women struggle to get into relationships once they hit their late-20s. I'm speaking in generalizations, but it seems like Japanese men idealize getting married before turning 26, and as such, unmarried "mature" women are treated as undesirable. Western otaku thus jokingly use the term "hag" (to varying degrees of seriousness) when talking about older women. From my experience, it's mostly poking fun at the ridiculous standard Japanese society places on young people and how absurd it is to treat relatively young girls like they're old ladies just because they passed an arbitrary age. (If you hear the term "Christmas cake," it's in the same vein.)

"Cougar" is a loaded term filled with sexual imaginary and connotation. It implied that the person describe with such word acted or valued by some narrow and specific erotic sense.

"Hag" is a term mostly use in offensive way to describe woman that is even a bit older than society standard of desirable age; the so called "Christmas Cake" mentality plaguing the Japanese archaic society. Many time people called these matured ladies with such word, as if to implied that maturity, stability, and sensibility aren't desirable traits one should look upon when seeking a mate. We here who love them doesn't see them with such narrow view. We love and respect their experience, their worldview, their sacrifice, and their kindness. We here choose to embrace such word, for what's more senseless than to correct insults coming from kids running around on internet lusting over those Menhera and borderline retard girls that will turn into a hag in a few years anyway if they're lucky? We choose to embrace the word, for we understand what's important; it isn't to fight on internet over whose waifu is younger of more beautiful, It is to love and support those hags as they love and support others.

In reality it just sound funny and stick, an endearing mockery. Think of it as a kind of internet handshake, like the liberal use of the word fag and retard over here on farm (and the chan). The part about it's pointless to MATI and try to change how they're called is true tho.

Did Amelia delete her Tweet saying "Bee Movie Sucks!!"? It was there a second ago but it seems to be gone for me.
Edit: Nevermind, it's further down the timeline than I thought it was.

Sometimes i wonder which of the Holy Hag Trifecta I think is the best.

Korone
Mio
Botan


The key component to why they are all fucking adorable , is their distinct laughs, Fuck yea.
It all depends on the day, I would die for them, and they don;t even know I exist.
there is no good answer to who i think is best.

I still find it funny how we assume Botan is in her 40s just because she happens to look mature for a nippon.

Watching Calli's Minecraft stream, and her obliviousness to IRyS' "melons in my chest" joke makes we wonder whether she's that slow at that stuff or if it's an act.

It's like when I wondered the same thing with Gura being bad at math.
