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

[Nolan Crush]

Mumei unarchived just went up suddenly and set to start in 10 minutes.

Looks like her cowboy karaoke is about to start. (Dammit I was about to go to bed too. Looks like I'm up for a bit longer...)

Favorites I heard (entered in at Colors of The Wind). Were Mamma Mia, Travelin Soldier (which made me cry), Lean On Me, Circle Game (very nostalgic memories from when I was a young teenager), and On My Own. The fact she was able to make it work so well in that country voice is impressive. Also the random "shawty"s were funny.

Cute menhera cover. Damn vocaloid songs always have the darkest lyrics

Call me schizo or whatever you want.
But I cant shake this feeling that lyger's gatekeeping during the early hololive boom seriously hurt Matsuri engagement with the western fans.

I know Lyger being menhera simp. But gatekeeping?

I know Lyger being menhera simp. But gatekeeping?

During late 2019/early 2020 lyger would go to channels translating his oshii and be really fucking obnoxious about it, sometimes it was valid, mistranslating lines and such, but most of the time it was about minor mistakes, irrelevant things in the broader context.
If you dont suck his dick, you are not worthy of translating Matsuri, and that eventually led to people not even attempting to share her content.


And that's not even talking about his Matsuri tracker

I know Lyger being menhera simp. But gatekeeping?

He routinely shut down alternate translations and repeatedly used Reddit as a soapbox to ensure EN translation of Matsuri that didn’t come from him were downvoted or ‘corrected.’ Essentially he intimidated/stonewalled the En clippers to the point they wouldn’t bother. As a mod, he has some ephemeral authority and power behind his works so many rolled with it.

He was ok at first but once the damage was done, the lunacy got worse. Fucker doesn’t even LiveTL, just writes かわいい over and over again. I turned it into a drinking game and nearly died one night.

Even if she did end up attracting more people if lyger wasn't there to gatekeep people, they'd probably end up being filtered by APEX

Matsuru being Matsuri is a fixed point in time. Not even the Doctor could save her.

Tuned into Uto's stream, noticed she has real time translation appearing on the screen. It blinks in moonrunes for a moment after she speaks and turns english immediately after, looks like speech-to-text being machine translated. Don't think I've seen anything like that used by other streamers before and I wonder why.

I have seen several indie streamers use this.

Hayama also has auto-translation on some of her streams:

kSon has been using that for a while. It isn't the best, but it can sometimes give you an idea of what is going on.

 

[Bingeamint]

Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned on here but there's been a discord leak that for a long while on /vt/ involving Phase Connect, granthh and zax. Basically Zax brought up Lia's bath stream and despite being a sodomite furry complained about how degenerate it was and /vt/ did not feel it reflected upon Pippa well to have a talent's mod and friend shit on management and fans of Lia (and possibly Lia considering the bath thing was probably her idea) and just generally thought it was strange that zax seemed butthurt about a generic vtuber staple. For a while people constantly bitching about zax and granthh haven't just been people who wanted to groom Pippa first but instead Lia simps, many of whom now seem to hate Pippa by extension.

Apart from the intreasting take, I can't help but notice your user name choice, is that a challenge to a mint off or should I be concerned that your coming after me

 

[Rhialtokourai]

Also I was watching this earlier at work. Botan, Luna, Choco, Subaru collab. Really funny. Already got a few translated clips around. Whole stream consisted of Botan dying of laughter, Subaru deathscreaming and Luna and Choco whining about constantly failing.

I've noticed that it's games revolving around dumb physics which make Botan scream like this. This was hilarious even without live translations.

• Ina talks about the karaoke stream "changes". Youtube didnt change anything, the girls have always been lax about the rules and the decision comes directly and solely from Cover.

Youtube didn't do something wrong? I refuse to believe it! But seriously, the fuck?

the end of the world is here brother , but really is there a explanation of trying to fuck something that works and dont need fix?

I mean, it is still blatant copyright violation. Indie's might be fine with the very good chance that no one cares, but it still does open Cover up to getting ass fucked in court.

Edit:
The service someone mentioned Moona was (or was looking into using) might be enough if it comes with a license for public performances. But even then that might just cover live events and still wouldn't allow it to be archived.

Mumei is trying out some new karaoke program that looks like they are going to try to use for future EN singing.

I went back to look at what Moona said about the karaoke holocaust when someone first asked her. Basically, the ID branch was already restricted to using an approved third-party service (timestamped at 32:40).

Hence this change would bring EN more in line with them, if not with JP.

I suppose we can still blame the EN managers for the way they communicated this to the girls, because IRyS (being the first to talk about it on stream) was dooming pretty hard and the others didn't seem that much more hopeful (ha). But I'm happy the ENs are pushing for English karaokes to continue and I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

There's just something about having the jump sound play over and over in my ear while I work. It's oddly relaxing. Until she starts screaming at least haha.

About time. Maybe that ribbon is actually her ears tied up.

 

[Protistology]

So it turns out Iroha is from the inaka, hence why she's athletic and too pure for this evil world.

 

[ChefKiss]

Apparently KSon will be appearing in Trash Taste. Accordingly she confirmed it during a Membership stream

I cannot confirm nor deny it because I am not a member

I'm a member and I havent seen her say that, she did talk about the nux and vshojo thing and basically said it's not her problem if they're fighting, she doesnt want to know about it. She doesnt want to be involved in drama. Understandable.
