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

[RainwaterDrop]

Yagoo’s Home For Broken Girls continues to be weirdly accurate.

The man himself said that he likes chuubas because they are the one way that gives people that would get or got laughed at by traditional media a shot at fame!

Subaru herself thanked him for giving her, a normal girl, a chance of becoming an idol. I do agree with him, people like Subaru, Ina, Amelia, Nene, would normally get their chance at auditions, well, fucking never!

That is why I think vtubing is here to stay, it's basically a form of streaming but with colossal appeal for people who don't like to show their faces. And I honestly do agree that it basically neutralizes natural looks, you can be some Chris Chan looking nigga with a nice personality, so getting a charismatic avatar kills the downside of the looks!

....what if Yagoo actually is Jesus and Hololive is his solution to humanity's sin?

Yagoo did bring people of many countries together in harmony, he also has a lamb too lol!

Kronii summary:

So personal troubles as I thought, nothing too serious with a little backstory sprinkled in. Nice!

Being honest I'm not even much into Kronii but I'm glad she is okay!

 

[LullerDerbyRollin]

Does this count as deifying someone into the image of Jesus or just admiring the traits of Jesus through the good work of a normal man?

I needa figure this out before I go to Hell.

Kronii summary:

1) Not graduating (obviously)
2) Streaming to such a large audience has been more stressful than she anticipated
3) Yes she was sick the last week
4) Apparently people complain she sounds disinterested while streaming? This must be from people who don't watch her that often. She's got a dry delivery, but that's normal for her.
5) Lots of real life stress that occurred before joining Hololive has made this a really rough year for her personally, and mentally dealing with everything has proven very difficult for her

Also shared a story that she had previously sent her voice acting demo reel to a person she looked up to in the industry, and was told to her face that she sucks. And while it affected her quite a bit, she came back with a "Well, fuck you. I'll do fine without your approval" attitude.

Will update with any other info if it's pertinent.

Damn, thats some MoriSame combo shit. Joining Hololive really isn't a walk in the park, and being upfront in streams to Hololive fans must be like a in front of concert stage as compared to a regular quadrangle area. I honestly thought she said "fuck you, I'll do fine without your approval" to that person, but that works too. Makes me wanna know who that fuck of a person is.

....what if Yagoo actually is Jesus and Hololive is his solution to humanity's sin?

Who is Matsuri then? The prostitute who was saved?

Make it Watamelon and I'll DM it to the Watamelon account on Twitter.

Five minutes in PhotoShop (and it shows)

Agreed. There's a lot of talk about vtubing being merely a fad or something that will pass in a few years, but I don't really see that happening. I'm sure it'll have its ups and downs, and the current style of vtubing that is dominant (that is to say, the style mostly developed by Japanese agencies) may be rivaled by something else, but the idea of streaming with a drawn avatar is just really appealing for so many reasons.

 

[masterstocking]

Okay, last time. Even the most wretched may be saved!



Except China. Fuck them.

Precisely! It also allows for a better flow for creative types, like Amelia!

Picture this: A grown woman going on camera and playing a character, talking about how she is a time-traveling detective, talking about other dimensions and such, this is closer to Chris Chan tard raging about Sonichu rather than entertainment, even if it is good lol!

Now, the same thing, but it's a cute avatar talking about how she went to Watropolis and had pizza from an Italian version of herself who likes to say "Ame-mia!". It's cute!

Some ideas might be great but visualizing them outside animation or other non-realistic forms doesn't really work, and so, the avatars are perfect for this!

Okay, last time. Even the most wretched may be saved!
Except China. Fuck them.

Pictures taken moments before disasters lol!

And I wholeheartedly agree, China delenda est!

I think the second, we're not worshipping a false idol, we appreciate a guy who, while it may be in the shape of a business, is doing good for people. He's human, he has flaws, and we're all aware. We're just doing a funny.

God know more businessmen could be doing good like Yagoo does, but they prioritize the profits. But that's a discussion for another thread, I believe.

Personal troubles are the worst because a) nobody takes them seriously until it's too late and b) they snowball into some abhorrent deformed curse you could have prevented, like alcoholism, manic depression, bulimia, etc. and then you're fucked for life.

 

[IdenticalPlateaus]

I know people shit on U.S. schooling, but I'm starting to wonder about Australia's.

You just made an enemy for life.

Also, besides Yagoo's eerie parallels to Jesus aside (And the hilarious irony of Japan's relationship with Christianity)

Tenma's streaming with a very not-macho man (?)

Not really trying to doom-post, I just don't see the use of the pronoun shit.

Iunno, but it's a pretty fun stream. Been watching it this whole time.

I feel like it'll become like vocaloid maybe

Edit:
6) Recognizes she's a bit too into minecraft. She generally plays single player games obsessively, and minecraft has proven an endless outlet for that. Will be toning back those streams
7) She admits to bottling things up too much, and needs to work on communicating stuff more
8 ) Asked about jokes she doesn't chat to say, "I'm not the meme police, you guys can say whatever. I can find humor in what you say" Chat: if we cross a line, tell us immediately please, Kronii: "yea, of course guys"
9) Sleep schedule - Out of Whack; eating schedule - out of whack; need to improve herself overall
10) Zatsudon - Her chatting skills are still a work in progress. Still nervous with that aspect of her repertoire. Wants to do more 'just chatting' streams to build some confidence.
11) Basically acknowledging Twitter comments and Youtube comments are too much of a hugbox to glean actual criticism from.
12) Ooof on this one. Basically admits she's been slacking on behind the scenes project work. "I'm lazy. I need to unlazy. It's something I need to work on."

Really hope that instead of just keeping this on a member's only stream and talking to chat about it she talks to the EN1 crew. Pretty fucking sure that most of them have gone through a version of this in one way or another and can probably offer some sort of support for them. The cynical side of me is thinking that EN1 didn't really have anyone to talk this shit with and they just toughened up but that is not really the smartest or best solution when it comes to dealing with something especially if you have the luck of having people around you who also had to deal with the same shit.

I don't really remember much when it comes to the goals but did Kronii say she wanted to do anything in particular?

In a way, I think I understand her struggle. From what she is saying she doesn't seem to have much structure (possible ADHD) and if I were her manager I would probably try to push her towards:
1. making a schedule for outside of streams
2. try to see if there are any gigs for voice acting in some gatcha game just to get her to work on something on the side (which can also benefit the company).

Offline, push her towards getting a Japanese language class and a vocal coach. Maybe even some sort of exercise class so that she doesn't have as much time to sit at home to just play video games. Also, push her towards releasing sort of ASMR roleplay-type videos with meme-y endings.

Been saying it for the longest time, Yagoo's the biggest and best saviorfag. And is fully fucking global with it now, except Chinks, he tried to save those mistakes, but they feared salvation.

Edit: Fun fact, the men aren't any better off to my knowledge, they're also broken, to varying degrees.

Atleast the men didn't get NTRd for 3 years like that guy that got posted about 100 few pages back.

I sort of figured she was watched enough this woulda been posted as I caught up.

I can't say I remember the guest a whole lot, but there wasn't anything particularly wild or offensive. She did introduce them as a friend and that seems fully accurate. Unless I missed something it was just a good time, Aqua was pretty chill and they bounced pretty well together. I imagine Not Theo oughta get a good few bits of Tenma terror for a nice little clip show. The ending in particularly was pretty solid and typical Tenma humor/timing.

Something something omg kira n kel hate each other, wow kin't beleev krony is ded. There now it actually looks like I caught up!
Side note: It's taken me like over a month to realize it's Pina PENGIN, not Penguin.

Hope she reads some William Hope Hodgson, he's a fucking phenomenal writer and his stories are much easier to read than Lovecrafts. Also he was such a chad he once bullied Harry Houdini so hard he cried just to prove magic wasn't real.

In other news, if anyone missed Pikas stream of Portal I definitely recommend it, one of her best streams in a long time and somehow she didn't get super stuck on any puzzles for too long. This part was super cute.

 

[moments fade pain remains]

Rushia piano stream when?

 

[Tor Lugosi]

Sad to hear that Kronii's having problems. She's by far and away my favorite of the EN Council, and judging by the numbers she seems to be the stand-out of her gen in general. Hopefully she figures it all out and learns to cope better with the stresses and downsides of being a popular streamer. Also hopefully she doesn't change anything about herself to placate morons that obviously don't watch her content much -- Kronii's deadpan delivery is one of her best qualities.

Pikamee's vibing was really cute. Her interactions with the Companion Cube were also cute, and she made the right choice.
