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

was this another vtuber or did rushia kill her pet rabbit?
i swear to god i remember this happening but can't find anything
I think she only burried her cat but that was without her fault.

Finally finished catching up. The merge really seems to be going on right now. The whole story is kinda tragic but I have a hard time to feel really sorry for Rushia after all the things tha have come to light the last few hours. Everything could have been easily avoided if she had just let the storm pass. Considering everything that we know so far occam's razor tells me she simply fucked it up.
Nethertheless it's sad to lose her and the Rushia persona in hololive. I enjoyed the clips of her that I watched in the past. The Nai Nai cover during her birthday live is one of my favourite ones of all holo covers.
 
Flare basically confirming her leaking stuff was true
Noel couldnt really give two shits
Marine legit sad because she is friends with Rushia
Pekora emotional but accepts it

Edit: Flare just sounds pissed off
Flare hates to be lied to, sounds about right.

Beatani announces graduation on March 19th/20th depending on timezone.

Could be some sort of shitpost/joke, but she seems to be serious. I can't even tell with her. Guess we'll see soon enough.

Graduate from what Bea? Silly bear.

2023: Gamers -> Most likely for the lulz (and the rrat that she has a kid)
2024: Gen 2 -> Ayame (with graduation ceremony)
2025: Gen 1 -> Either Aki or Mel, as much as I hate to say it (without graduation ceremony)
2026: Gen 0 -> AZKi, as much as I hate to add too (with graduation ceremony)

IDlike to add: Maybe Iofi
EN addition to it: Calli, or Gura (I wouldn't mind though as long as she's happy)
But why would Aki or Mel not have a ceremony? They are both good girls.

I go here, 30+ pages. Well, there are worse ways to find out, I guess. How do I manage to live under a rock every time stuff like this happen? Man, I will never have Rushia sing a metal song, huh? I will miss her screams. I hope she is safe from fujobitches.

With that said, is it too late to convert people to Suisei, Botan, HoloStars, and Haachama? They don't have any drama, or nobody cares about it so you are good, or they are the World's Strongest Idol.

Also, don't forget to read my name.


I give you four options. Fubuki, Haachama, Mumei, or Amelia.
Mumei. I choose Mumei as the resistance leader.

JFC - these are the moments that bring her life into focus. Wearing socks to not get bit as a child, was she living through the depression? WTF Pippa Mom and Dad?

I think Kiara cancelling the Holotori collab might have more to due with Russia then it does with Rushia. Austria has conscription (even if it is only for 6 months after you turn 18) so it's quite possible she's worried about things. She's also the closest out of all the Holomembers to what's going on. Same with the other HoloEN members really. The JP ones didn't grow up in the shadow of the cold war, so while Russia hasn't been the bogeyman it was during the 70's and 80's big bad Russia is still a part of our collective unconscious.

So yeah, I think some of the tweets that HoloEN has put out are more to do with Russia than with Rushia.

Except for Mori's cause she's just a dramaqueen.
Optimistic. I think Cover might be even stronger with talents talking about/ referencing a war vs. Rushia.
 
I may have come off harsh/dumb/autistic about the entire "lose empathy, work for company till you are brainless robot". That's not what I wanted to convey. What I was trying to convey is that you can't let emotions throw you off, especially if others are waiting or relying on you lest it is absolutely not possible. Do I sympathize that Rushia got axed? Yes. Is she at fault for her own axing? Who knows unless, again, someone here joins Cover undercover (heh) and manages to get us those corporate secrets.

As a token of peace, here's the one thing I will always remember Rushia by and could sympathize with.. because dropped cola is cola you will never get to recover (unless you're some kind of barbarian and slurp it off the floor)
 
I think losing Coco last year helped the entire fanbase cope better with the fact that the talents will eventually have to go and they will not be here forever, i really expected a lot more anger but the general response i have gotten is simply a bit of sadness.
Once this shit didn't blow over, I think deep down everyone (except those delusional and high on hopium) knew a graduation for her would be imminent.

I definitely wasn't expecting a termination of contract, which is the worst outcome for such a popular talent like Rushia. Hell, I agree it's striking since she was the top earner of the company. Whatever she leaked and shared must have crossed the line to the point they chose to cut their losses and move on without giving her any chances...

Hell, the Coco situation was shit, but I don't think it's anywhere near whatever Rushia did and I don't think it should be compared. Both started with dumb situations, but both ended differently as well and this Rushia one is definitely severe.

Good luck to her and to her fandeads, though.
 
Man, I can't believe Rikkun called Putin to start the war in order to distract people from Uki accidentally launching a public test stream, then called Yagoo in for a favor after realizing people will care about that more. This is so unepic.
Technically there were 3 Noctyx leaks (Uki, then Yugo/Fulgur) yesterday btw. More people watched both than Aloe's 17 TwitCasting viewers, so one would think that if one considers it an NDA breach the other would too. I think they got away with it because of Rushia completely engulfing the V-Tuber world.

By the by, Yugo's unlisted video created more questions than answers and I'm just completely fucking vexed about who or what Yugo is. His leaked test video actually has him not talking at all. Instead, he's listening to Fulgur rehearse HIS debut stream lines. I'm not sure if it's just the feed, but Fulgur might be using a light robotic modulator on his voice. His ACCENT is reminiscent of Vox with a higher pitch so it definitely is not Chimon (Who is Chinese).
 
Do you want a surprise?
Bad news, I don't have any surprise.

I don't really understand that sort of sentiment. Why do they have to "go to Nijisanji", or "switch teams"? Just give a bunch a quick look, Holo, Niji, VOMS, indies, etc., then just watch whoever you like watching, the fuck's wrong with them?
Probably some combination of emotional Rushia fans not thinking clearly, people who are very new to vtubers, basic tribalists, and trolls who noticed that talking about Nijisanji being "better" whenever there's Hololive drama triggers a lot of Hololive fans.

Im not sure this type of person exists.
On /vt/ they definitely do. IDK about Reddit but it wouldn't surprise me as there is some overlap between the two userbases, as much as people like to deny it. I have seen trolls on Reddit in other situations trying to put out blatant bait for tribalists.

NotRushia's new YT is popping off. 160k+ subs in 9 hrs.

This more explosive growth than even Holo gens get. This fandom is very supportive, you love to see it
Problem is, unlike Kson she is a really troubled girl. Normally this would be bad, but right now she is getting shelled hard from all sides and is physically ill as well as mentally fragile, if that doesn't break her legs I don't know what else outside the commonplace trauma contexts would!
Honestly, it's a pretty low morale day for the world, not just the Holosphere. I wouldn't blame anyone for taking a day off when shit's just kinda bleak right now.
Precisely. Fucking hell this is, trainwreck after trainwreck and nothing we can do!
 
I'm wondering what the fuck was so compromising that they just yeeted her off the platform and erased her channel just like that, i don't think doxing would do it, i think it would has to do with some legal shit to get one of your profitable members axed in this way.

i know i'm late to the party but what did chris do in order to get the same treatment?
