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

Nothing major but still interesting
Finana's birthday is coming up, and her Discord planned to set up a Billboard on NY Times Square as a surprise. Apparently, they've been saving up cash for almost 6 months now.

Finana then catches wind of this plan, tells her fan discord to do something else because "Hololive already did this"(I cannot confirm if she said those words, but that is what 4chan is using)/something along the lines of do something else instead
(NOTE: MIGHT JUST BE A RRAT AS OF THE TIME OF THIS WRITING)

EDIT:
A more complete conversation from the picture above. No one still knows who the she/her they are talking about is.
Seems like someone took the original conversation out of context

So it sounds like we've established Finana didn't tell them to knock it off, but if she did I wouldn't blame her one bit. Always thought the idea was kinda dumb, even back when they did it for Ina, and it's especially hollow and uninspired now that it's already been done.
Comes across more as a flex by the fans than an actual gift for the talent.
Admittedly, it's thematically appropriate for Kronii (but not really anyone else).

Here it is:
Very short, recorded and edited so there's no downtime with translations (I assume). Zoe thought Laplus' bird was an owl smh. At least she said that if Laplus had a Batman costume the bird would have its own mask. Also half the interview was spent on the difficulty of using the toilet in the suit. But Laplus was happy - her video description per DeepL: "It's not a dream!?"

Well that started off super awkward, and you could tell she was nervous as hell. She almost talked right over them at at least one point.

But once it started devolving into nearly half the interview being about how to use the bathroom when wearing the Batman suit (ssg kusogaki), it seemed like all three of them opened up and had a little fun with it. Still awkward, but it was nice to see they even showed a bit of an interest and like, made jokes about her crow wearing a Batman suit and such.

I know it's an interview for the Japanese market, but I hope Cover decides to add English subtitles to the video.

I wonder if a lot of it is going to be overly sweet for her, cause japanese sweets don't even compare to amount of sugar/corn syrup used in american sweets.

I have a friend that likes to send me bags of Japanese KitKits on occasion, and they are fucking amazing compared to the crappy American wax versions (and I don't even like sweets). Nestle has some magicians working for them over there, that's for sure.

I used to love the green tea kitkats and these delicious fluffy sponge cakes filled with banana custard called tokyo banana. A must have if you ever go there.3.-Tokyo-Banana-Cake-2.jpg

@NotATurkey Good video you gay bastard. If you have any questions about the general state of affairs with vTubing, I'm sure some of us can provide useful information between bouts of calling you a fag.
Click to expand...
Don't listen to him @NotATurkey we're the least qualified people to be giving you information. You should look for it on your own but finding any sort of information that will be relevant to you will be shrouded in hundreds of posts and pages of faggotry, Kiara doomposting, and of course, simping. Trust me, I know.

I'm kind of disappointed in you guys, this is too funny of a coincidence

Idol was actually something announced a few weeks ago (they had a thread on /vt/ pop up the moment they heard it was JOOS), but they just had their designs revealed today.

Just posting a video with no description is exceptional, for exactly this reason. If it gets privated or unarchived, we have no idea what it was for. At least throw us a bone and put a description like "Mumei is doing JP karaoke" or something so if that happens we know what to look for or what it was referencing.

Just venting bc I've seen this happen frequently here.


Nolan Crush said:
She deleted, damn I thought she did really amazing. At the end Mumei apparently said, "Ok so I'm gonna not archive this one, and then tomorrow I'll do english unarchived". So that explains unarchived. Fucking self-doubt strikes again.

archive:

Well at least you followed up on it. Grabbed the archive from nyaa already but thanks for supplying yours as well.

I'm saying that the Takodachi did it first, and it has since become something that V-Tuber fans suggest regardless of how much they believe that person would actually appreciate or want it. An expensive gift isn't necessary to giving them something they'll really appreciate. Bear in mind that a lot of these are done so that they can watch a reaction on the day.

Even if you take the stance that Ina wasn't outwardly excited to see it become a reality because she was aware of it — which is valid and I concede I forgot she knew beforehand — I'm also saying the same of Finana. Finana allegedly knows about it and therefore won't be a surprise to her. It wasn't suggested by her, and she didn't make any indication that she really wanted it.

I wasn't comparing Enna to Ina, I was saying that less expensive gifts can have big reactions if they're tailored to what fans think the person will personally appreciate, and that isn't limited to Holo or Niji. I would be calling it cringe if it was a Niji who was the first to get on Times Square because the outcome is still the same.

This seems so strange doing this. Nobody in Times Square or seeing a random billboard is going to care about vtubers and it's not going to cause some great influx of new members. All I can imagine when "fans" do this is the that vtuber is thinking "damn there goes $7k they could have SC to me...."

yeah it's just R34 of her vtuber model made to look like she's taking photo's to feed into the parasocial

She's been making comments over her last few streams basically sounds like standard vtuber twitter copy paste of man i want more vtuber friends, but don't make effort and is a workaholic who legit only does art, streams and sleeps.
Guess she's suffering from the all work and no social interactions outside the internet. honestly

Is that the latest twitter meta going around? I keep seeing random small indie vtubers whining about having no friends too. Maybe I need to disable whatever twitter suggestion or whatever it is that keeps putting it in my timeline. Doesn't seem that should be a problem for Saruei though - she's pretty big at this point and has a lot of people I'm sure would collab with her. Her and Shylily were thirsting for each other just recently even.

What did the Jews mean by having 3/5 of their vtubers be lolis, one of them being a demon with a womb tattoo?
Click to expand...

The womb tattoo is just the modern weeb equivalent of the trampstamp. I thought it was kind of silly/dumb seeing it as a trend going from hentai into regular anime/art and then vtubers, but now starting to see real (frequently weeb and cosplyer) women do it as some feminist power thing or something is sad and cringy. Just imagine how it will look in 5-10 years.

Thats not limited to indies, Silvervale usually does that even if she is more successful than her old friends and has ton of connections. I dont understand that needy cry of attention even if they already have many collabs & friends, unless all that is fake.
