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

Whales have bought her a lot of equipment.

And before any of the newfags ask, the building supplies were for a bus to RV conversion her and Zax were working on before they moved to their new place.
You know, I love Pippa and all, but I could never simp to the level of buying someone something off a wishlist. I'm even dragging my feet on giving Null money for the True and Honest Simp badge, but that feels less strange as it's just cash and it's to support something I enjoy. I get that ultimately super chats, gifts, and whatever are no different from giving money on patreon or a general donation, but something about the former feels skeevy. I'd rather just give them cash with no strings attached just to support the content than do it so that they read a message (unless my message is an advert for something I'm selling). Maybe that's just my autism though and it does extend to participating in chat as something about that feels desperate as well.

What was the van-bus about?

To me it feels weird and too personal, I guess, towards a person you don't know, and will never meet. But then again, I feel like giving or receiving gifts from people you don't know very, very well is strange.
 
They wanted to convert a bus to a live-in RV to get away from their roomates from hell.
The project was taking too long and they just had to get out of that environment ASAP and just bit the bullet and rented another place to themselves.
That sounds unpleasant. I'll have to go find the info on that as it sounds like an interesting story.

That's pretty much my view on it. I don't mind sending money though, as with free to play games if I've gotten enough entertainment from it I like to support the people making it, but I want it to just be an impersonal "here's some cash for the work" type of thing and nothing more. As a whole though the way money moves around these days is very strange to me.
 
Only soft, chewy chocolate cookies are S-tier for me, everything else is like C or below; I've never had much of a sweet tooth and sugary stuff tends to hurt my teeth.

As for Fauna in general, I don't really care about ASMR at all (or even the singing side of idol stuff, really) but she's still an entertaining streamer. Her and Irys both always seem so happy just to be streaming.

Never change PIppa.

>Chewy chocolate chip cookie S-tier
I guess Fauna is my oshi now.
>Cheesecake is C tier
My heart hurts...I don't think I can enjoy mother nature anymore... 💔
Chocolate chips are good though when chewy

Pippa is a smart rabbit, but she needs to get cameras that are harder to notice, though that's an easy fix. Though she did mention one of her cameras crashed not long ago because a squirrel ate it and it put her on edge. Most be some bad past experiences.
 
Must be some bad past experiences.
You should hunt down some of her old stories from growing up in the middle of nowhere.
Security ain't optional in some places, and that's before factoring in her neurotic hangups.
Case in point, her news story today was from her neck of the woods almost verbatim.
I'd be squirrely too.

If you'll excuse me for saying this, you're sounding a bit much MATI. When I first heard about her doing that, it seemed very much in her line of doing things because it's what she wanted to do. I don't watch her at all really, but it always was about what entertained her, was less frustrating, or fascinating for her, however weird it was. No thanks to the group UOOOOH stream, but stripping down social media definitely is something that gives you less to worry about. (clip about stream Endu is mentioning btw)

If you play PSOBB on Ephinea, I'll create an alt to run cmode if you find yourself in need of an S-rank weapon sometime. I've been on hiatus for several months, so expect rust.
This Cimrai drama really highlights what Bea is not. Pages of people here urging a menhera to ignore people vs. Bea who is always in ignore mode which apparently drives her fans crazy. Or it could be her multiple profiles and accounts on different social media. She is like the hypnotoad of vtubers

Add to that her ADHD and very likely she is on the spectrum she is a special type of special. Who makes a cake like this?
Seriously, using a spoons backside to stir makes no sense plus she is a Japanese emo girl. Maybe.

Her strange stream choices, the streams that are lost to time or gimmicks like her fake graduation or the "masterbation stream" and her social media lawlessness all endear her to me. Plus, she eats random old food like Pippa, but works also so I want her to save herself. If NotPippa ever opens her streamer university Bea would be a professor of - Unconventional Constructive Parasocial Relationships.

Maybe one day they will stream again or maybe: rrat, Pippa moved in with Bea and Bea is taking a break to learn how to be a dentist...

Bea, stop procrastinating so we can see you soon!

For something different check out this 2view, Terumi Koizumi Ch., wholesome GFE
She will be uploading these everyday. She is a former OL and also was in Amber Glow, eventually buying her model out after the company was revealed to be a sham.

I downloaded and clipped Moona's Shallys cover. It was just too great to not preserve for posterity.
The entire 100 song Karaoke in general was great. She sang the first 20 songs live, then she switched over to a recording of the remaining 80 songs, and then went to sleep.
At the end she came back live and mentioned that all of the recordings was done after 3rd Fes, so she did all of them in just two days.
Thanks for this!

A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED!

Don't look back into the past!
Be positive!
Let's go out for dinner!

Fuck, the bitch deleted everything once KSon commented
MikeNeko update is that she is still depressed but the thread is optimistic.

Have a palate cleanser. Sora doing something super basic like pinning a comment for the first time. I have never seen such happiness and joy

That smile...
She is truely a joy and even if she isn't as "popular" as the other chuubas she is Holo's greatest assest.

I adore the rabbit, but it's hardly her thread is all I mean lol, so I'm trying to cut my autism off since my posts the last couple of days have varied between gey and geeeey relating only to Rabbit commentary, some other stuff I don't remember and being a homo over a shark return. It's time I stop posting for now.

THAT said, for context to what I said about Lia I'm gonna toss up her stream at a time stamp where she sort of got into some of what I was talking about. It goes on for a fair while, but if you're curious to chill around for like 5 minutes you'll get most the gist of it I think.
Assuming the VoD doesn't stay up: Title <<The Mortuary Assistant>> Powerwash Instead ;3 Stamped at 50 mins
The way she cleans in the powerwash simulator... Kinda illustrates her underlying issues.

Brilliiant thanks.

Give me my puzzle pieces if this is an autistic topic, but what are some of the best/most memorable thumbnails you've seen? Some of them really have a talent for knowing how to leave an impression

Well Tamaki covered the worst. Subaru is better but it's mostly these three faces.
You already got some of the people who care about making them, Aki is fun cause. Good time to link her most famous clip - ignore the reddit at the end. How far Holomembers have come.
The Gura one is cursed tho.
Miko loves to make hers and others
Lap+ is consistent

Looks like just a bad case of the Mondays for the holos at the moment. But it is literally not as big as an issue as it used to be since they became a MCN (Multi-Channel Network). They have far more sway with susantube and her bullshitery. Just give it like a few days, I believe.

Well when the time comes, ill be there. I know she is running out of easy picks though as she done 21 Holomems if you exclude best girl YAGOO now. I reckon she could branch it out to the ID's for the Japs but that's on her to decide.
Holotalk guests so far: Marine, Fabuki, Shion, Subaru, Miko, Mel, Aki, Suisei, Robo, Coco, Matsuri, AZKi, Haato, Sora, Choco, Aqua, Okayu, Mio, Flare, Noel. Bummer she missed out on Rushia, would of liked that. She already has some rare chuubas like Shion so I think she can get anyone. I think she was only talking about the ones that are hard to get cause all of gen 4, 5 and 6 should be easy. Looking forward to she doing the Holotalk in person with Nene.

Could we cool it with the "I'll be the one to fix her" posts? I'm not sure we're in irony territory anymore.
Was it ever ironic?

Listening to Lia's stream, it turns out their timeslot is something they choose. She doesn't want to stream during Pippa's timeslot because it seems rude, but she said she has no choice because it's what works with her job.
Well, she got the job because she felt frustration about antis commenting about her work ethic which has now resulted in spliting views with Pippa. She does have a choice but she is a silly girl.
I just had to check that this was real, holy shit she passed Sana already (321K). Considering she's an artist I expected Sana to have drawing streams like Ina, seems like it would be an easy way for relaxing streams and more content. I'm just surprised a new debut of a foerign branch (JP excluded) could pass Holo EN members.
I used to not mind it and even have a bit of 'haters gonna hate' mindset about how easy Ayame gets by but my twitter feed is constantly suggesting me Ayame fanart because of my apparent interest in Virtual Youtubers and now it's actively annoying me how she doesn't do anything but still gets so much damn focus.
That said, there is no doubt in my mind that Sana used her art skill and résumé in that field to stand out and secure a place in Hololive, so the notion that she refuses to do the very thing that got her in over others really does kind of rub me the wrong way whenever I linger on it.
Sana and Ayame living rent free in peoples heads.
Sanas very few drawling streams were wildly popular but she has explictly said that she is vtubering as a means for self-improvement that she is more then just a drawling machine. She also provides cover with art like Ina and has a pretty strong fanbase so that is most likely a win in Covers mind. Or maybe her manager lives a miserable life where she nags Sana to stream more. Who knows.
Ayame and gen 2 are hot and cold with streaming. Choco and Subaru are fanatic streamers while Aqua, Shion and Ayame used to be. Right now Aqua does more backend work like concerts and merch and when she does stream her antis are relentless. Ayame used to stream and may be lazy, probely is busy doing something else considering her upbringing, but is a Holo member favorite and I hope she never graduates so Mio won't cry. Shion is just trying to survive, poor girl. Hope Subaru and Choco wrangle the girls up again and go out to eat.
Are vtubers just a pipeline to right wing extremism? They seem to be far less politically correct than the majority of youtubers, but maybe that's just because I only really know Pippa and the people she collabs with.
Considering that the two largest companies, and prob. 3-5, are Japanese and the entire culture stems from Japanese anime/idol/seiyu culture I would vote no. Japanese media is largely apolitical which is a political statement in itself and one that might align with conservative, get politics out of entertainment ideals. Also, aren't most niche cultures less aligned with PC culture?

Poor Pippa, hope her paranoia can be fixed. I supposed it's also that she's a woman which would make her more likely to become neurotic about such things as she'd be in a much more vulnerable place growing up in such an environment than a guy would. Then again maybe both genders have the same neuroticism as a result and it just manifests in different ways that make it more visible in one over the other.

The Pippa killdozer is almost in reach, keep simping guys :semperfidelis:
I'd donate for Pipdozer if she ever wanted to fully embrace Uncle Ted's cabin ideology.
 
I never knew a vchuuba would make me feel felted...but I guess here we are...At least she put cinnamon rolls as S tier, but HOLY FUCK ARE THEY EXPENSIVE. I know there's those Pillsbury can ones you can buy for a good price, but those just aren't the same like the ones you get in a mall or a small dinner.


@vestars20 GFE? Nah son, that's the Terumi Experience! A funny video idea, would to be have several clips of that Terumi series with the guy from interstellar watching them and slowly getting more emotional the more videos he goes through.
Holy shit this movie came out 8 years ago?!
