Start breeding rrats her self guilt over tracing lead to her depression and feelings of insecurity.

How can this lead to something she's already fully swimming in? If anything, she's doing better than last year when she Menhera out trying to please everyone and thinking she's not an inadequate.
Personally, I think it's good that it catching up to her now, and with someone who have a long standing with Hololive. A slap on the wrist and a few day of feeling shitty is all she gonna get.

Yeah, sure, but you forgot to account with how autistic the japs are about tracing. Namori might have forgive her, but what about the antis and (above all else) the bandwagon jumpers?

Edit:
Also don't forget how we used to thought the Rushia's situation would be just a nothingburger, and yet here we are now

Antis have a chance to forget and eventually find better menheras to harrass, talent has already been caught doing shit like laughing at doujins (most comparable shit besides the taiwan incident, and boyfriend scares), the financials might be a thing but apparently thats resolved

who knows if nene herself might be sanctioned tho

And it's most likely Nene's turn next...

Time for Nene to go to art school? I know a Tako artist who offers cheap art lessons. I'm sure they could work out an arrangement. But seriously, Nene has surrounded herself with professional artists only a discord call away. They could have worked something out.

It'll probably be a case where jokes about her being a tracer follow her around but I don't think it'll lead to something like the Rushia situation unless Nene really lets it get to her head.

Oricon are an entertainment news and data source (they are the ones who publish music sale rankings, for example) so them covering a thing relating to two different entertainment sectors (streaming and JAV) isn't that unusual.

I'm interested in seeing who will replace Lauren in the J1 promo thing.

So this is, what? The weeb version of Thorsburg Bronze Quill award winning cartoonist Stan Kelly? Where’s lady Liberty?

 

[Beeg Booba Fishing]

It's fortunate that Cover reached out to the artist and settled things before any antis could spin this into something worse, like that time that BL doujin author raised a stink because of a prank between Marine and Miko that was taken out of context.

im still holding out for whatever further responses but it seems to me that that if they already solved it behind the scenes and they didnt have a press release tweet ala Rushia ready for that then im hoping its just a slap on the wrist

And I am fairly certain kronii isn't non-binary. No way anyone identifying as "non-binary" can stream for over half a year without hinting towards it or trans pride in general.

If Kronii was non-binary, she never came right out and said it as Dottovu, so there's no way she would as Kronii. Perhaps the true test will be how long Uki can last without mentioning it.

Either way, Kronii's VA definitely preferred to style herself a bit androgynously in the past, and I've wondered before if she's not at least a little salty about being stuck with a giant-titted avatar.

Traced art, apparently

geniuenly dont know if it was done from nene directly or her artist/mama, sounds like the former and judging by the stream it looks like it, but japanese could be mistranslated, could find out in a few, hopefuly she does not get bonked
EDIT: Yeah she was the one who traced art, oof, some twitterfags and niggas in chat are saying its already fixed behind the scenes and this is just a formal apology, but who knows

God only knows why I watched the entirety of a 4-minute white-text-on-black-background video, with a vague title, spoken in an eerily serious tone, in a language I don't understand....... when I could have just refreshed the page over here to catch the news.

Maybe I'm just a bit of a dumbass. But that's ok, because I'm in good company: my wife Nene is apparently a dumbass too, if she thought nobody was going to notice traced art.

While I think whining about tracing is snobbery I continue to appreciate Iofis balls.

Nene getting into trouble?

poor nene. she doesn't deserve this.

 

[Sevatonius]

poor nene. she doesn't deserve this.

As long as she doesn't sperg out about it, she can quickly bounce back from it. I don't watch her a lot, but she seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

 

[TrashBoost]

Nene simply misinterpreted the rules. Happens to all of us....

Poor seal I hope she bounces back from this. She can already sing and dance its ok that her art skills arent top tier shes better than most minus the true professionals. There was a time when she was around 200k subs behind her gen mates and look at her now less than 50k subs behind lamy and polka.

 

[kukkia]

poor nene. she doesn't deserve this.

I like Nene but she was really dumb here.

Anyone who knows anything about the Twitter artist community knows that they are very autistic when it comes to tracing. I mean in this own thread we have the screencap of Iofi saying that the thing she hates the most are tracers. If you trace and get caught it will cause drama, and if you are literally a member of Hololive you will probably get caught. And tracing is not something you do by accident. It's not like slipping up and saying a wrong word - you have to go out of your way to trace.

I do think that Nene probably believed that the level of referencing she was doing wouldn't be called tracing, but plenty of artists could have told her otherwise. That it was of an artist who has a working relationship with Cover is a good thing here, one can imagine the drama would be worse if the artist themselves went to Twitter accusing her of tracing directly.

Can you forgive her?
