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

Wow. I'm not surprised in any way whatsoever.

From the sound of things, Rushia turned a molehill into a mountain entirely through her own actions. I believe it wasn't her fault when things started, but I completely believe that she exacerbated the situation immediately and with great force. You don't have to be a genius to understand that she is a very emotionally fragile girl who tends to mildly overreact to even the smallest of things. After two years and seven months, she should have known better.

Maybe she would've been Graduated anyway. But Coco shows that an amicable separation and smooth transition to solo activity is completely possible and reasonable. But it seems like she just couldn't shut the fuck up and properly leverage her incredibly advantageous situation while she had the chance. Now everyone loses.

I'm sympathetic, but not very much so. I hope she goes on to have a great career and a great life. But this really, really feels like a 'it's your fault, darling' moment.

"Heard joke once: Woman goes to doctor. Says she's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says she feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great vtuber Pippagliacci is streaming tonight. Go and watch her. That should pick you up.' Woman bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Pippagliacci.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."

also hey everyone did u know rushia and russia sound similar AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fucking funny jork that will never get fucking old
 
This is not from me, this is a writeup from a sperg friend on Discord that has been autistically logging and putting together what has happened during this entire debacle:

Timeline:
  • Message gets shown on gta stream
  • Manager tells her to shut the fuck up and wait for all of this to blow over
  • Cover releases statement about them handling people spreading false rumors (confirmed)
  • She suicide baits on her Rushia account (confirmed)
  • Management deletes it (confirmed)
  • Her fuckbuddy asks her what the fuck she's doing (speculation)
  • He starts tweeting that he just played video games with her (confirmed)
  • (as a sidenote autists had already noticed that they had the exact same furtniture and everything back in 2018, and also he tweeted to her in 2011 and that tweet is still up to this day)
  • She talks to jap keemstar (korekore) and reveals her identity (confirmed)
  • Jap keemstar throws her under the bus together with her fuckbuddy the next day
  • Her fuckbuddy then proceeds to throw her under the bus completely on twitter (confirmed)
  • He probably throws her out of his house at this point (speculation)
  • She does a twitcast where she says "check your messages....goodbye" followed by the sound of the phone microphone hitting a strong gust of wind (confirmed)
  • Starts a new youtube channel (confirmed)
  • Uploads a black video with no sound (confirmed)
  • Adds "hitoribocchi" to her twitter handle (confirmed)
  • Tweets that she needs a new place to stay and that being alone is hard (confirmed)
  • Deletes tweets within 5 hours (confirmed)
  • Lawyer probably told her to shut the fuck up at this point seeing as she probably knew she was getting fired (speculation)
  • Gets fired for leaking information (confirmed)
  • Calli being the retard that she is runs her mouth again (confirmed)

Considering Cover published an initial statement about defamation of one of their members, they were clearly on board with defending Rushia and the only reason they would let go of their top earner talent who made 3+ million dollars in two and a half years is because she fucked up royally and they were forced to. I'm sure Yagoo is not happy about it either way.
Honestly, this timeline and explanation seem like the most likely reason behind all of this. It'll be interesting to see in the next few weeks if any more major information about this situation leaks. Especially if Rushia already had loose lips.

This hits differently now it's confirmed.

Feel free to give me puzzle pieces but my day and maybe my enjoyment of VTubers is ruined. Rushia was one of the few I actually enjoyed watching and the fact that they're probably going to delete all her VODs is discouraging. I remember some streamers I used to watch a few years back getting sacked caused me to lose interest in some games I used to play.
disregard corpo vtuber
embrace indies

Sure, good indies are harder to find, but the good ones are worth the hassle.
 
Oh right, forgot this part. If what the white fox is true, then the firing must be something that everyone in the company or group have agreed upon. Fubuki and Flare's reactions are... awfully calm for people whose colleague have just been fired
If you have a coworker who is acting up and being retarded and they get fired you really can't react much other than "its a shame it got to this, that was unfortunate".

Some of the girls seem to be reacting strongly to the news making me think that they were not aware of it and it has caught them by surprise. Others are just tweeting a generic PR statement of "this sucks and we are shocked but please keep supporting us".


Doubt that whatever she leaked was anything too spicy but she seems to have leaked at least confirmation that she was Rushia to the Korekore dude all to try to cover her ass over some dumb drama. As a company, you can't have someone willingly leak personal information or the information of their coworkers because they need to cover their ass over some dumb drama. It is a huge liability to have someone like that. As for some of the girls being somewhat cold over the whole situation, it may be 1 of 2 things:

1. They fear if they are too outspoken management will crack down on them (taking away their Golden Ticket)
2. They understand the situation and they trust Cover and their actions.


I keep telling you all Calli is white trash with a chip on her shoulder. That's it, nothing grand to it. She's a talented idiot who won't think ahead.
Kiara is similar in a way. She can't keep her mouth shut. In a way im a bit interested to see what she says when she learns about this in a few minutes/hours once she wakes up. Also NA is way more outspoken than JP from a cultural point of view.

The spreading falsehoods part is what makes me pause. I’d chalk it up to them being overkill on her having a boyfriend and over sharing. . . But that seems like something much larger.

Edit:

Mori seemed to be completely blindsided and is not taking it well.
Let’s be real, she made them millions. They would ban her for no reason. And besides the Kore stuff it’s unlikely anything we know is part of it.
My speculation is since she and mafu were/are dating she might’ve felt comfortable sharing information she shouldn’t have.

Oh shit so it wasn't just a tweet saying i want to die? This bitch actually faked suicide? Well. She's worse off than i thought.
 
Polka's tweeted, maybe about the situation, I still don't really get what she's saying. Maybe someone who speaks Nihongo can clarify.

DeepL:
“I'm crying tears of joy, I'm crying tears of laughter, ahhhhh.
The ones who can do their best, do their best. !!!!! Cheer for them! It's a cycle. I'm circulating, even today.”

Edit: Maybe it's just a convoluted way of saying she's sad and crying.

Fubuki and Flare's reactions are... awfully calm for people whose colleague have just been fired
truth, like always, is probably somewhere in the middle. up to you to decide with the track record so far who's more at fault.
So as for reactions to graduations/terminations, we have the following to draw from: Hitomi Chris (unpersoned, terminated, until now the only example of a Holo termination), Mano Aloe (graduated), CN branch (unpersoned, graduated), Jitomi Manoe (unpersoned, terminated), Kiryu Coco (graduated with full honors), Suzuhara Lulu (graduated).

For Aloe and Coco, the reaction(s) from their genmates and others were emotional - sadness, regret, etc.
For Chris, CN, basically ignored. Persona non gratas. What appears to be the case with Rushia here.

I don’t watch Nijis, so I couldn’t tell you about the livers’ reaction to Lulu leaving, but Manoe was terminated immediately almost exactly like Rushia was, only the reaction from the other two was emotionally charged. Meaning that yes, she fucked up horribly in some manner, but also that the decision wasn’t exactly accepted by her genmates.

That Flare and Fubuki aren’t in tears about Rushia? That tells me she’s not something they’re going to lose sleep over.

I'm honestly agree with this, it really felt that if Rushia had only shut up about this and taken a couple weeks break, this would had been a nothin burger but she just couldn't look away a felt she needed to clear her name and ended fucking everthing up
