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

What's the best way to do a poll in this thread? I'm curious about when everybody started following vtubers here. I'd guess even the vast majority of the regulars here started after myths debut or the Taiwan incident
I was in a Minecraft phase in mid 2020, really only thing keeping my mind off the whole world burning, so naturally I get recommended videos. I got recommended this one:


It interested me but I still found virtual youtubers creepy and gay, so stayed away until HoloEN came out and was interested, but my interest soured away when the Taiwan Incident occurred because it's 2020, everything that might be good has to be ruined. However a few months afterwards I saw it actually survived the Taiwan drama and actually came out stronger. I watched clips of Watame and got into Hololive as a result.

Always lurked Kiwifarms to read up on Chris Chan news, always avoided joining because I assumed all it ever was was doxing and actively searching for lolcow material. Found the thread when Coco was graduating and read it from there. Went on eventually because Reddit too sanitized 4Chan too schitzo.

Brings into the question are various vtubers going to introduce a really low tier membership for these gift memberships just for the emotes and not the member streams and what not. On paper the membership gifting is a nice gesture, but this is the internet and nothing ever goes how you want it to.
Ina briefly explained. Apparently you can't add lower tiers. Only higher. So if she added a new membership tier, it would get all of the lower benefits, which defeats the purpose. She can't do an emote only tier.
Maybe she misunderstood something and it can be done, but she says it can't.
I would assume you just add a higher tier and then change what the lower tiers have to offer, but I don't stream, so no idea if thats possible.

People may get salty if it affects their 20 month badge or whatever
 
Nijisanji has it too, iirc it has to be enabled manually.

Ah, yeah looks like lots of channels are getting it now, someone mentioned Ina too. I don't have very many memberships so only learned from Twitter.

There's this blog post from Youtube here, which links to this Google Form here, and it suggests that Gift memberships will be the $5 tier as long as said $5 tier exists.
So pricing out a lower tier might not work. I guess at worst, they could maybe do a $5 tier and put all the membership streams behind a $6 tier.

Youtube could really stand to be clearer about the whole thing though! I couldn't find any more info on it pricing-wise.
 
The Selen collab is definitely getting axed, demonitzed, all that. This is entirely too out there (I love it), Susan will never allow it.
The stream is definitely cursed, I love it. Making sure it's archived as I see it being nuked as soon as it is over.
I don't normally watch Enna... Is she ok? Big mood energy aside, I'm a little worried xD

Missed this last night.

I noticed this after Pop on Rocks first became popular but never mentioned it. Is it just me or do the Fox in Socks lyrics sound strangely erotic in this context? "Chicks with bricks come, chicks with blocks come, let's do tricks with chicks and clocks..."

That's just a healty level of acceptance of the idea of death and a slight desire of not-being, what are you talking about?

But for real, from what she tells she has people that actually care about her, she's best friend with her father and lives with a roomie that's like a sister for her, she might be really depressed but the ambient she's in seems healty enough not to worry. And for all her dumb antics she's not a stupid person too.
 
Its extremely old and retarded, with almost nothing to it. The last time it surfaced was a few years ago when the millionaire commie, Hasan Piker, tried to cancel her for being a "neo nazi" and Steven Kenneth "the swastika" Bonell the second defended her.

Her crimes were doing "blackface" with nutella when she was 16, dating some random "alt right producer"... whatever the fuck that means and calling a trans person tranny after being accused of having fake boobs or some dumb shit.

Her current crime is soying out on tweeter about how sexualizing lolis is wrong, which is a very brave opinion to have.
