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

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

When she eventually returns, it gonna be raining superchats. Her usual big whales might be in 2 minds about it at the moment. But as soon as they see that "Rushia is LIVE" I think they be glad she just there and OK.

Might even see a SC record being broken...

I'm sure her comeback stream will be huge with support SCs, but the long-term effects will be the more interesting thing, to see how many of her fandeads leave her and stop SC'ing her because of this.

She's the #1 SC earner of all time, so not like a little dropoff is going to be putting her in the streets.
 
Who did Marika's character design? It looks very familiar - reminds me of Outbreak Company or maybe Okami-san. If she got that artist, that'd be pretty impressive for a vtuber with under 10k subs.
I'm not sure who the artist is, but she's the "sister" of Neko Neneka, which might be why the art looks familiar. That's how I originally stumbled on her when I was looking up what ever happened to her a long time ago. As a refresher, Neko Neneka was that v-tuber that did a long ass endurance stream and then announced she was graduating. I do think she eventually ended up starting over, but by that point I kind of lost interest and found Marika Matsurika anyway.

Edit: I guess this is her new persona:

 
I think the "It's just an anime character" argument is stupid, some of them have almost zero kayfabe and all of them are definitely blending in their real life into the character so it's completely missing the point.
The actual thing is streamers are not your friends and they definitely aren't your gf/bf, people are acting like this is some unique new problem but it's been happening with normal streamers for years anyway, acting like it's some new problem with vtubers is just retarded and absolutely in line with other internet losers just wanting to dunk on vtubers


I'm guessing Kanata's original message didnt say "fucking up", great work Friend C
 
Ironically, Cover's message will make things worse because of a cultural difference. Their English release hits "misinformation and harassment" really hard. That's in-group language of TOUCH GRASS INCEL Twitter-Americans, so they'll read it as official corporate endorsement of their hatefulness toward Rushia's gachis, Holo fans, "idol culture," etc. They expect to be backed by the corporation, because that's what America-centric corporations do when their customers are unhappy: send out internet leftists to call their customers losers. It's an incredibly weird and irrational Anglosphere thing that I doubt any Japanese business can understand.

lol?
 
She is gonna have a shitload of viewers and SCs in her comeback stream, I am sure. I would be very surprised if this had much impact on her at all.

I think her comeback stream will have a lot of views and SCs, but in the long term, her GFE paypigs may leave. The denial route was lost a few days ago when she went menhera. Now she just has to find a way to word it without more people seething.

Cover just released a notice about the Rushia incident
.
e: "..there has been an outburst of misleading information to third parties, as well as a leakage of information including those of fellow business correspondents."

wtf
Not a bad statement. They could have added that they are checking their legal options to protect the talent but it could have been much worse. And I agree there will be a lot of people who will fill the hole the cucked whales will leave behind with a fuckton ccs and sc.

One thing: please archive this stuff, achive.md doesn't work for the cover website but here is a screenshot and transcript. I don't think they will delete it but better safe than sorry.

Huh, i know this might be quite the reach, but what if Mafu had knowledge of this bug and purposely sent the message?
They already threw her under the bus along with Kore, right? Or am i just going off the deep end with this drama

Groupies culture, girls who just want to sleep with famous celeb for story vs actual dating, is pretty strong in Japan. If Kore lad is true then we can assume that Rushia try to hook up with Mafu in late 2020 (when Holo was still subpar vs Niji within Japan) and Mafu happened to sleep with her just like any other groupies.

Im not surprise if they are hooking up for real right now as Holo get more mainstream in JP and International and Rushia currently as one of the most popular Holo after Coco left or they are just fuck buddy (upgrade status from groupies for Rushia) as someone in her 30s like Rushia would definitely need to let off some steams. On other hand, Mafu could also T-pose fanded.

We went from cuckbeat to cuckded and 2022 is barely started. What kind of yab we will get next I wonder.
 
Saruei being China based
ze French accent does so much for me :story: gotta avoid thirstposting for ze crass French Vtuber, she knows how to tick the boxes for her viewerbase :story:

EDIT: okay, abit of thirstposting but I kinda wish Saruei would do like what KSON did, mostly avatar, occasionally do irl. It's not like Saruei irl is hard on the eyes (unless tats and piercings ain't your thing). But I can also understand why she might've gone with the Vtuber avatar route too

Didn't she switch to the vTuber model because her IRL art streams kept getting smacked by the puritans at Twitch?

* From Japan, Overseas plz read and understand this below... (about NicoNico and why korekore is hated by most of Japanese people...)

It was Rushia ( Voice Actor: Mikeneko ) that contacted Korekore about Mafumafu, Because these 3 members had streamed in NicoNico, a broadcast app as live-streamer, more than 5 years ago, which is the most famous Live Streaming App in Japan at that time, and Most of Post-VTuber Voice Actors had used this App.

(e.g. Marine and Pekora, Miko, Korone, Okayu, Most of All members ( possibly except Subaru and Haachama ) who became Vtuber, had used NicoNico when they were high school students in youth )

After YouTube's success, NicoNico became unpopular, However This Professional Streamers Community ( We called it FORMER-NICONICO-COMMUNITY, "ニコ生勢" (Niko-Nama-Zei) in Japan ), still is THE MOST HUGE COMMUNITY FOR PROFESSIONALS, and,

the most efficient place WHERE famous streamers ask for advice by their SENPAI and KOUHAI.

So Korekore means that he met Rushia and Mafumafu at this community as their SENPAI,
Therefore Rushia asked Korekore-SENPAI to share any bad info about Mafumafu’s personality and any advice,
BECAUSE she got hurt by Mafumafu when she talked with him about his view on love.

(* it is unclear she has a crush on him, contextually it might. )
(* Mafumafu openly had stated on SNS for a long time that he cannot love someone due to his mind, so he possibly didn't want to get asked about it and made an argument with Rushia. )

Also, Rushia asked Korekore not to disclose this conversation because this is privacy, and he agreed.

■■■■■
HOWEVER, KOREKORE MALICIOUSLY EXPOSED THIS WHOLE CONVERSATION TO GET MORE AUDIENCES AT HIS CHANNEL.

Firstly, he exposed this by TikTok, Then by YouTube, he exposed it in detail and compelled Rushia to answer the audiences' questions when he was streaming by leading his followers to attack Rushia at Twitter with hateful comments.
■■■■■

KOREKORE GOT SUED BY SOME PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR INCIDENTS, AND THERE ARE MANY VICTIMS....
(SO KOREKORE IS INFLUENTIAL IN STREAMER'S COMMUNITY BUT HALF OR MOST OF THE JAPANESE LISTENERS HATE HIM...)

■■■■■

* UPDATES 2/14/2022

Currently, Rushia and Mofumofu both state that They are not in love.

And, Rushia states she plans to sue Korekore for violating her privacy by pretending to be a good SENPAI with evil intent.
* quote: LINE message between Rushia and Korekore before this stream starts that indicates he threatened Rushia to answer the detail, then Russia says "Please Stop (for streaming this topic). I am worn out"
( * But his stream had started(2/12) so she had to answer all because she doesn't want to invoke the wrong interpretation.)

(* Korekore said that all his streaming of disclosing about Rushia, is for her, but in the truth, Rushia doesn't want to answer and dig this problem. )
(*Rushia and Mafumafu are still friends. )
 
What's the farm's opinion of Shylily? Only seen half a stream so far but the orca-cat-puppy seems fun. Accent sometimes reminds me of Veibae though..

She's whatever to me. Cute model and I do enjoy the fact that she got popular by imitating someone else.

Looks like a certain someone has moved on from Pippa to Uruka. Saw this so I had to take a screenshot. Funny as hell.

Seems he fell down the rabbit hole. Odd that it was with Phase Connect and not Niji or Holo like the regular people. I guess shit works differently in Romania.

I mean come on, you'd atleast expect her to come out with something on it. Not just say shit has hit the fan and i want to die and then delete that tweet aswell.

What is her manager doing in all this. Isn't their job to handle fuck ups? They're doing a terrific job aren't they?
The smartest thing they could have done was to blame the talents for being retarded and not keeping things undercover but this was all related to a collab they were working on and then force them to work on a song collab.

I was definitely hoping to see some Japanese suicides over Rushia this morning but the thread has let me down again
Give it a few weeks.

Not a bad statement overall.
 
I actually got curious just how much something like this could make, and I had the time today, so I tried to quickly tally up how much all the effects were worth. I may have missed a few, since I don't have the patience or autism to go through it without skipping forward, but the Minecraft donations were at least $5202 in total, definitely not bad. Doesn't include SCs and those were definitely there, whether people wanted to flex akas or were too retarded to see the multiple notes about the mod only supporting Streamlabs.
