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

[BingusMcringus]

I'm upset by the Blue Archive Vtuber being cancelled tbh. I know that game isn't perfect but I do enjoy it. Not to mention Azur Lane and Uma Musume both have Vtubers that no one was upset about. So I really don't get the salt.

Scuttle sez:

Less special in a tournament like this, mind you. But yes, there's a lot of risk in her being part of the team where she is not only the best player, but also inexperienced.

As mentioned, every team will get a pro coach to guide them, but seeing people get weighed down by teammates is normal in a game where a team is only as strong as the weakest member. People crying in scrims due to feelings of their performance is far from unheard of. Selen played APEX for 6 straight hours after her OTK tournament to work out her anger.

Yeah, I hope that Suisei and Towa can steer her properly to shine in this tournament. Onion fans have been salivating for this sort of inclusion for years and its finally here.

I don't watch Aqua, but this is going to require more mental fortitude than finishing 2nd in a dumb MK8 tournament. A lot more.

Obviously, I'm an Aqua fan, but I watch a lot of others play APEX. She is a strong player and has shown to have fortitude when it comes to APEX and overcoming challenges in the game.

I'm just poking fun at how r/Holo glorified Ame around the time of her debut. People saying 'Aqua, Ame and Ollie would be super strong in CR Cup' were not few and not saying it ironically.

Understandable. Ame and Ollie are fun to watch but aren't exactly good at Apex. They also speak English which helps jump them up a few levels with the masses. Roboco, Choco and Ayame are much better players while being amazing to experience play the game.

Gigglepex needs to make a comeback.

So what are your actual rrats on calli's future that arent a graduation: Concert in budokan? a collab with Snoop Dogg or Charlie? or what?

Non-chuuba collabs outside Cover aren't necessarily ground-breaking and they're rarely recurring. The way she was talking seemed more of a paradigm-shift to how her career is actually going to operate once she hits those secret-for-now milestones.

Shot in the dark? Probably more music-related. Maybe less streams and she becomes more pro-active in facilitating musical projects between the EN girls and her musical connections (producers, mixers, etc). Shit like that is a lot of work, especially if you're juggling more than one musical project. And she's been very vocal about how much she cares about the rest of the EN and getting their musical projects going by being an active intermediary in the industry or perhaps being the producer/song-writer herself could be her way of helping her chuuba friends out, along with allowing her to get some more experience in a pure producing role and getting her music-making itch scratched.

Enna's gonna paint that clay Aloupeep now

On this day Aloupeep was birthed

Aloupeep is SO CUTE, Enna did a great job. It also has a dumpy, which Enna credits to her genes. Thicc Enna confirmed.

Whatever her career path takes her, Calli is 67% likely to succumb to alcoholism. Genetic boozering is no joke fellas.

 

[Nene's Husband]

Autism rrat: Calli's big career changing announcement is that will be streaming from prison after the nip police takes her in for wigger behaviour, rampant alcoholism and being a filthy gaijin in their perfect postmodern society. She will then graduate from Hololive while revealing the true reason why rushia was terminated and leaking Yagoo's nudes, then announce her marriage to conner for good measure.

 

[Scuttle]

I feel like Calli is signing onto a record label which might make her stream less. I feel like that is a reasonable rrat within the parameters of what she's said.

Was to be expected so, poor choice of words though but that might be the translation.




Deepl has "It's amazing what's happening these days!" for the last one, so the first one might just be a shit translation.

 

[Scuttle]

Apparently Aqua has said that their team won't have a coach because 'She wants to make her own decisions' but is also letting Towa IGL, which means Towa is the decision maker.

Which makes me think that they aren't getting a coach because that coach will almost definitely have a penis.

Gonna be interesting.

Shit like this is why I love v-tubers who make their own model, even if they're streaming themselves working on it while it's not finished. And why I don't mind png-tubers for people who are just getting started. None of that fixes a broke brain though, so it doesn't really matter in this case.

She's an infuriating vagueposter. "Angry today, hopefully not tomorrow" is her message, probably.

No. Shes a lying whore that had this already planned and wanted even more money than when she first started this pity party. I'm going to bet she never needed all this in the first place.

So much for "i dOnT kNoW wHaT tO Do"

Yugo announced he is taking a one week hiatus as a result of criticism for his handling of the earthquake stream.

View attachment 3082980

I was extremely vexed by this so I had to do some Yugo egosurfing to figure out what people were saying. It seems some Japanese didn't like the fact that Yugo's tone wasn't serious enough, and that he was laughing at some things chat was saying (even though none of it pertained to the earthquake).

Others, however, have criticised the critics, stating that Yugo translating swathes of information into English has invaluably helped/saved/prepared Japan-based foreign nationals who are not accustomed to natural disasters and didn't grow up with mitigation training.

Overall, though, there wasn't exactly a 'backlash'. None of the comments I read on either side were malignant, and there wasn't all that many of them.

Man, that's such shit... tries to do something useful and unique, and gets hammered down.
Having to take off a week, so soon after debut, may not be good for growth. Hopefully not a big impact though, because the NijiEN guys do well in general.

Blue Archive (Korean Mobile game, Holo has shilled them a couple of times) teased they would be dropping their own VTubers
View attachment 3083492

Since the reveal, they have recieved nothing but backlash and has since decided to cancel their Vtuber project effective immediately

Sounds like a casualty from the type of braindead gamer that doesn't understand different teams work on different things. It's a shame the company backed down.

Yuki, please don't come here. This isn't a good place.

Aww, that's kinda cute that she posted that lol. But yes, don't come here, or at least don't let anyone know that you do.
This one post won't hurt, because language barrier, but hopefully now she knows what to avoid in the future.

 

[Azchan]

Thank you Redditor for bringing this to the attention of many others who didn't know this was a thing, all for 50 or so Reddit good boy points. You did everyone a real solid.

Spoiler: Reminds me of this

Lol calling out someone for having a loli/shota avatar or generally liking loli/shota things and accusing them of pedophilia by proxy has got to be one of the most pettiest and obnoxious of things that le so-called "righteous" people of the internet do. I mean. There might be a correlation that those who like loli/shota would/might want to diddle with kids. But come on. If you want to accuse someone of being an actual pedophile present incriminating evidence. Not just some pretty pixels on a screen. If you were to go by that logic, then liking and following Vtubers who like loli/shota would also make you a pedophile. By proxy. Madness isn't it?

From what I have seen many of of the people who like loli/shota dont necesarrily do so in a sexual way and the ones who do hate irl kids. Funny enough many of the people who moralfag about it either get caught watching/retweeting loli/shota content or end up being caught actually tying to groom (and in some cases sexually assaulting) kids.

Welp, I suppose it was only a matter of time.

Putin should have invaded Romania instead.

She's either going to weigh her team down like an anchor or solo carry it. No disrespect to Towa and Suisei, of course, but Aqua is "special".

"Best APEX player behind Ame?" in what universe? Ame is somewhat alright at Apex, but she's not the best APEX player in any universe, well, let me strike that a bit. She's the best HoloEN Apex player but that's mainly because almost none of the other girls have played APEX on stream. (And if Hal is listening to what r/holo says when weighing the talents he's a fucking idiot.)

Towa is really good though. I feel like the one weighting them down might be Suisei.

I feel like Calli is signing onto a record label which might make her stream less. I feel like that is a reasonable rrat within the parameters of what she's said.

Now, get in here. Elira has united all the main characters under one Oshi.

The first thing that came to mind was taht she would be moved into more of a Azki role as a V-Singer and less into a streamer/entertainer role so her stream schedule will drastically go down which is a great thing for her but will probably be a huge downer for most of her fans that dont care much about the music part.

Oh wow. Who could have fucking guessed.

Calling it, she will keep doing the same shit she does now but with a new model. Eventually, she will get tired of it and start bitching about not getting anywhere and Nijisanji rejecting her so people donate and she can get another model (rinse and repeat).

Yet Hime Hajime saying her tits caused the previous earthquake got 0 backlash. Fuck this world.

Gonna be interesting.

According to the live TL on her stream, there will not be coaches for this tournament for any teams. Not sure if that is accurate or not but that's what Just Sam said.

Update: Perhaps there are coaches for the other teams, maybe the live TL messed up?

30:20 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: There have apparently been coaches before, but this time around there won't be any.
31:43 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: As for why we didn't go with a coach, we thought it was important to figure things out between the three of us.
32:17 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: Not having a coach on the team doesn't mean that we're not serious about winning, we just felt like it was very important to communicate between ourselves.
33:08 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: That's why me and Sui felt like Towa would be the best pick for the leader.
33:42 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: So yeah, Towa will be in charge.
35:02 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: there are some exceptions of course, like interviews for winners.
35:20 Just Sam『突然現れる翻訳ニキ』

[EN] Aqua: But yeah, not commnunicating with other teams much is one of the reasons why I chose to join this tournament.
