Also, sticker notifications should just be turned off by default. Don't bother changing my mind.
Thanks.
low effort pippa doing low effort things. she privated the phase wars vod after being lethargic all game. She's good at the game but hates it too much to put all her effort in.
@Godzilla1984 were you recording this?
Yep. Was shoveling snow. Came back in to hit record then went back to work.

Unfortunely, I imagine Fujos are their biggest audience so they have to
Considering some of the design choices, especially Vox, they do appear to aim at that. What I like to see from male vtubers is a bro or older/younger brother approach to the audience (and not a broified version of GFE). I am not into yaoi stuff. But, it all comes down to how they choose to approach things as time goes by. If they do not cater to fujos even better for me.
 
Fujoshi are just a different flavour of exceptionalism we already see in the community so I don't care much either way. There's also the fact that there's plenty of non-fujo women who simply didn't care for NijiEN or HoloEN because they didn't relate to or believe the content was necessarily for them, who are now a new vein of support for NijiEN's growth. A friend of mine who does not watch V-Tubers and isn't a fujo stayed up really late just to watch Vox.



Also, for those that didn't watch, I think Mysta's debut lore video is the funniest anyone has ever made. I fully believe he will end up the most popular in his wave.

 
Looks like we'll be getting another VRChat EN Collab later today.

With thumbnails like these, it definitely set in stone now.

I cant wait too see what wonderous new shit they have got this time round, every time they get in the VR there is always something new. EN may not get the fancy new Santa get ups the good ol JP folk get, but they make do with what they can. I'll see you guys there..
 
Anyone remember eilene?

The vtuber that predates kizuna. Whatever happened to her after she gave her channel to natsumi moe.

Theres the moemi & yomemi channel of course, but its just her in the background of the other girls videos. And even that haven't featured her for the past 4 months.
She was pretty important to the Vtuber movement, and managed a bunch, including big ones like Mirai Akari (one of the Four Heavenly Kings, aka top 4-5 Vtubers from Kizuna Ai's era), but then apparently she got backstabbed hard with something related to the last one in 2018. Most recent info I can find is that she started her own self-made Vtuber group called Eilene Academy this year.
 
Also, @Canine with Fangs, for someone supposedly just trying to make some weebs seethe you're awfully quick to cry to Papa Null that you were thread banned. Cry me a river.
lmao for real? gotta admire such commited exceptionalism. the dude should try reddit if his passion for internet points is so strong
Wait, he actually got banned. I mean, I was serious in the sense I was drunk, tired, and mildly annoyed. . . but I posted trying to lure Salte and MemeGrey back. Though I think MemeGrey was killed or raped or something. He was an asshole, but at least he was fun to have around.
Unfortunely, I imagine Fujos are their biggest audience so they have to
I disagree, at least on the EN side of things. . . and I'd argue that if it was carefully done you could pull Fujos by (primarily) acting against Fujo-bait. How you ask? Well, let me finish my second bottle of wine and let me business major sperg for a bit.:

Basically this quote by Eddie. The problem with the pure pretty-boy line-up is a major down-turn for the majority of male and a portion of female viewers. That isn't to say that it isn't warranted at all, but I'll get to that. I'm going to use Hololive as my example scenario because I know them better; but I will add that these personalities are showcased in both Holostars and certain Niji male talent. But there are specific Western (American) twists to them; they also need to be much less polite. I have some anime equivalents that might help round out the idea. . . send the autistic flags.
Catering to fujos is the only point against watching them, for me (hopefully the fujobait won't be as common in the NijiEN boys as it seems in my initial impressions though). To be fair, I can't stand too much GFE either.
I said it before, but the way to make the Male EN work is to primarily cater it to Male viewers and make them a good, diverse, team. Personally, I'd only do three and the personalities should hit a certain core dynamic. You need a semi-self-containted group of personalities that act as a real foil to the primary HoloLIVE talent. This will more than likely incur the wrath of the idiotic gachikoi, but but down the road will prove useful in propping up JP Holostars as well. En can get away with it, supported by that fanbase.
So unto the talents. here is our big three:

1. My personal favorite, our asshole. Think Mikoshiba from Nozaki-Kun. This guy needs to be the gachikoi's big-bad that thankfully can't deliver. He's crass, curses more than most talent, treats his subs like friends he is bringing to the bar. The best gamer of the bunch. essentially a male Selen. Probably sings country, but in the vein of 26 by Chris Stapelton. The hook, and it is a gamble, would be that he seems like the flirtatious fuckboy. . . unil he starts talking. Have Suisei or some of the more killer talent just flat out rip into him till he crumbles. He's the cool dude you thought you wanted to be to get with a HL talent, but he is even worse off than you. . .

2. An actual fucking white knight. Probably gay or close to it; the only real fujo-bait. The caveat is that you need someone that is self-aware enough to not be a crazed 'sexuality is my identity' moron. You want the gay dude that's funny, and calls flamboyants faggots behind closed doors. Polite though, and generally nice and positive. Hopefully the most artistically talented, but maybe can hit some contralto. This is the pretty boy that actually successfully hits on the HL talent without a care in the world, while actively and for obvious trolling reasons does the same for Number One above. To which the response isn't a Takamori bait, but a comical, 'you outplayed my words you fuck' goddamnit. Decidedly no real relationship, but if you build it, the fujis will come.

3. The Ice-man. The anime, strat, and JRPG connoisseur. You need to find that guy that exudes a feeling of being 'over it.' He'll play the straight man to the other two's comedy dynamic. This guy needs the wit, and absolutely no filter in burning his gen-mates. The HL talent think he's cool and mysterious. He isn't, just has a heart-rate of 27 and a blood temperature in the negatives. This is our 'I'm Sakamoto.' Best case scenario he can shred on the guitar or pull out some badass instrumental talent.

And look right there, Maverick, Goose, and Ice-Man. The key to victory. It is self-contained, can work in any three man multi-player gamespace with easy fan integration in 4-man, or six-man teams (or dare I say it, a guest HL/HLS collab). Each member is quarantined from being competition to the parasocials by their very nature, and the team aspect can reinforce that if necessary by ranking on eachother.

Fujoshi crap will come no matter what. Playing into it will just cut out another aspect of the market. AmeSame is much more palatable and sellable than Takamori ever was; and it derived from a more natural and fun back and forth. . . not by playing to hard into that stereotype.

And, if played right, this kind of dynamic could lead to greater interaction between JP Male and Female talent. But. . . that might be a pipe-dream. And all of this would take Cover or any Japanese corpo thinking like a sleazy Madison Avenue Adman. . . and we can only hope for that.
 
Also, for those that didn't watch, I think Mysta's debut lore video is the funniest anyone has ever made. I fully believe he will end up the most popular in his wave.

Oh shit… His name is really "Mysterious?" I didn't make the connection until I heard it out loud.

That's some YandereDev-level character naming there. One step away from "Maihazu Bando."
 
Kiara’s schedule is up. It’s going to be a good week, very comfy.

Oh right, there will be a Kiara/Ina duett cover. I'm curious what it will be.

If there is going to be a sudden sub boost of Iroha's channel, this is the cause:
Seems like her mom is one of her biggest fans and since she just hit 400k it might happens in the near future.
It's a really nice story when you think about the fact that she was a two view streamer before.
 
Mori's schedule is up

Maybe i am minority here but i don't watch Holos for the gameplay.
Depends. If the talents cant get their shit together and can't play the game for shit it gets frustrating. No specific talent or game comes to mind but there are a few.

low effort pippa doing low effort things. she privated the phase wars vod after being lethargic all game. She's good at the game but hates it too much to put all her effort in.
@Godzilla1984 were you recording this?
She mentioned background noise on stream so I am just assuming that due to the collab taking place early in the afternoon for her she couldn't really talk much. She seems to get really self-conscious about it too. Feelsbadman.

Also, for those that didn't watch, I think Mysta's debut lore video is the funniest anyone has ever made. I fully believe he will end up the most popular in his wave.

I didn't get to watch the first 3 but i did watch the Elira and Oliver thing and they laughed pretty hard at the Shoe one.

He absolutely has the potential for it, honestly he might even exceed other waves' growth; not to Selen's level, but somewhere close to that. Kaito's got a really solid personality for streaming, and he seems to say a lot of lewd/meme shit, so clip channels are probably gonna shit out clickbait clips of him like a PKM.
