Wasn't Kronii's past life non non binary or was I smoking crack?

iirc the only evidence we have is one of her friends from her past life saying she was good in bed or something.

Not exactly. She only said "my gender is obvious" or something like that

She responded to that in this Q&A (timestamped to the question):

She says she prefers to just be "gender-neutral" in the internet but it's pretty evident that it's just a good dodge of the question and seems like she prefers not to dip her toe in that pronoun shit-show.

Kronii had they/them on her twitter or/and tumblr acc and had answered to people searching nonbinary voice actors, if i remember correct.
I went through some of her tumblr when she started as Kronii and there was nothing really about gender, so it always struck me as Non binary for more va opportunities.

I can respect that. Thanks.

Kinda like how some YA authors "coming out" as "bi" despite being straight

Her previous VA work and how she dressed heavily reads at least that to me (that picture of her in the hoodie and hat, I forget where).

Just take a look at her roommate twitter retweets sometime. Not hating on her, keep that in mind, just doubt you'll see her going for guys any time soon.

My favorite cover from Lui so far, although as usual I find it difficult to explain why.

Would you mind? I guess that its because the contrast in music and singer, going with hard/punk rock-ish accompaniment while Lui is chill singing yet gives the energy the music requires. The vibes of the song gives off the feeling of something is coming while the singer is reminiscing of the past (somewhat has that Lucifer insert songs for you to feel the episode/character's emotion). In addition, the voice matches the music wherein not much mixing nor pitch correction is much needed.

Nene’s merch include a boxer brief for her husbands.

SASUGA ex-idol, she knows what people want.

On other hand, common chicken, release KFP speedo already. Those KFP will buy the whole stock.

Imagine the SSR sales if she wore them first before shipping them out

Meanwhile, Moona admits to knowing what certian strings of numbers mean and looks them up on stream.

Moona is the definition of halal on the streets, haram on the streams.

I always though the lesbian thing isn't real. It's all yuribait for weebs.

Considering how many holo girls there are now I wouldn't be surprised if at least one was a straight up lesbian and a few were bi. Kiara definitely does the yuribaiting on purpose because she knows it sells (although she's come to regret that lately) but I don't think she'd mind having a hot girl as a girlfriend either. For the most part I think the girls are playing up the yuribait on purpose or some of them are totally starved for affection and romance because they're socially awkward misfits who aren't used to real relationships and now they're all surrounded by a bunch of other cute girls who they regularly interact with.

After re-reading I think I understand better. You're talking specifically about the lesbian part.
And yeah I think the lesbian part is definitely a lot smaller than the bi part. But they focus on the "liking women" side more because it gets views, which is fine.
I think only Matsuri seems to genuinely be a lesbian. Everyone I can think of and know enough about (idk if Okayu or Korone have dated men before) is bi including Ame, Kiara, Marine, IRyS, Bae, etc.

 

[Autistic Screech]

With the amount of hololive member, there is probably atleast one real one between them. Also some women turn to lesbianism after bad experiences with men, so there is a chance kiara is in that corner. But most of it is obviously played up for the audience.

Edit: lol sniped


On another note, i was ecpecting Fulgur to drop his character at some point, but the second stream was pretty fast. I really would like to know his thoughts on his debut.

Sonny is still pretty entertaining to me and the whole tf2 thing is so funny.

Missed her stream, but here's proof she was live

Here's an archive that was posted on the latest /vt/ thread.

Have they, though? So far I've seen streams of three of them and clips of most, and it seems kinda insufferable. Nonstop spam of hearts and "OMG SO CUUUTE <33333", pronoun fuckery (although I guess that one's inevitable given that this is EN's first taste of a girl-voiced guy Vtuber), running along with Uki accidentally saying heterophobia instead of heterochromia, and so on.

Absolutely no offense to Noctyx, they all seem alright so far and Yugo might even become one of my mains to watch, even once Sukoya comes back. Still, the chats really do feel less bearable than before, and I can't tell whether it's specifically the fujos/Tumblr crowd, or just the standard of the tumor growing proportionately to the community itself. At the very least, Yugo specifically asked not to be shipped with anyone from Niji in his Q&A, so there probably won't be much fuckery from shipfags on that front.

The fans are the fans. All I can say is that Noctyx themselves have not been leaning into the archetype of buttery reverse harem visual novel characters so far. This is especially true of Fulgur and Yugo who have set guidelines about it, and Sonny who basically sidesteps every cringy comment he gets.

I only know as much as anyone else, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if people in Hololive are actually not straight given the type of circles these people come from. Hayase Sou talked about this quite a bit; that cosplayers, Utaite, streamers and Otaku communities are rife with LGBT people because they're more willing to be nonconforming etc etc etc.

That said, they definitely play it up for laughs. Yuribaiting is its own genre. There is a blatant, striking difference between the way they approach it compared to Crossick, or Yamagami Karuta talking about the crush she has on her manager, or Gundou and Hoshikawa's talks.

I'm pretty sure Rindou Mikoto and Utako Suzuka have straight up said they've had some kind of sexual contact before too, but I could be wrong. YAGOO would combust on the spot before any Holo spoke as earnestly as any of the above. Doesn't mean Holos aren't speaking from a place of legitimacy, just that there's something very synthetic about 'X asks Y to marry her in Minecraft and Y gets FLUSTERED!'

I don't venture outside this thread - who are these 3D people and why do we care?

One is Eric Rolon, a former Funimation voice actor (as of late 2021) and Nick Rekieta (here's his thread: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/nicholas-robert-rekieta-rekieta-law-nickrekieta.53871). Pippa Pipkin and Nick are working towards an interview.

At the very least Noel & Flare are openly a couple, Okayu & Korone really don't make it a secret either, and I'm less sure about Kanata & Coco but they get teased about it by other Holomems so there's something going on there. If you can find a clip about the girls buying "pair rings" there's a big chance they're serious about it.

Virtual machines aren't perfect and may have quite a bit of problems with whatever software they are using to stream plus games, you're suggesting a very technical solution when clearly most vtubers are barely computer literate.

You are correct in your assessment. But here's mine; it's their job. Rushia was fired after a domino effect from her being shit at OpSec and Lauren is suspended. We've also seen that Ollie saved Reine doxx on her PC because Ollie is shit at it. Those are just 3 quick examples of careers being threatened by shit OpSec. Still amazed Ollie wasn't suspended

Maybe vm is overkill. But I wouldn't trust Rushia to remember to change user 24/7. And vm is entirely software based; Holo/Niji could make an installation software, give it on a memory pen to their talents and tell them to install it. One evening's guidance through it and setting up the capture software, creating a fake Displayport Cable export from the VM going into the capture software as well as audio and it'd be fire and forget.

You might say not all of them have beefy enough PCs for it, but I'd say its a travesty holo/niji doesn't give their talent beefy PCs. 4k USD per talent is nothing compared to what they'll bring in for the company on average.
Honestly they should be running a dual PC setup as others have mentioned here. And I fully believe Cover and Niji should supply their talents with it. PC cases supporting two machines have been around for 12 years within the consumer market, at least.

As for indies, indies can handle themselves. If you're indie and successful enough to be a known figure within vtubing then you've done something right, and opsec isn't as important either.
