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

[Scuttle]

She even tweets about watching her members playing, if interacting like this was a breach of the contract I'd guess she would've been more careful about making it public

I'm pretty sure a lot of NijiEN members joined the NijiExpress VR Chat thing on the final day to hang out with fans using voice and none of that was streamed, either. Nor was it seemingly overseen by staff because they were server hopping.

Anyway, Finana has a Member-only Valorant stream on her schedule so I'm guessing it's that. Could be wrong.

---

It could also potentially explain things like the instant merch.

I'm leaning towards it being a prank given their tweets, but Ranunculus also got instant merch so that's not necessarily an indicator.

Pippa has a friend now. Deron is playing Mabinogi.

Aaaaaand we are back to peak Elira tonight.

There's a clip out there somewhere of Ina, Ame and Gura. They were playing some sort of cooperative Mario game and Ame and Gura got into an argument. Ame grabbed Gura while Ina was trying to mediate as always. Ame was like "Let me spend some time with Nacho-mama!" (Nachoneko was on the verge of her live 2D debut) Gura refused and Ame yeeted her off the side of the tower. There was a little editing where Ame said "long live the king" or a gremlin screech before throwing Gura. Channel might have vanished.

Man, its been awhile. Missed a whole thousand pages. Forgive me for not wanting to read all that. Did I miss anything good?

It depends on whether you want to read discussion about any of the following, not in chronological order:

Spoiler: Long

- Past lives, facedox, and/or breadcrumbs that may or may not be new to you:
-- Subaru
-- Miko and Pekora
-- Tomoshika
-- Sakamata
-- Mika Melatika
-- Uruka
-- Tenma's past furry art

- Rushia's firing and the dramatubers she may have been leaking info to
-- Mikeneko's tweet/delete cycles and debut later with a pink cat model

- Noctyx (NijiMEN2) debut and their past lives
- Lauren Iroas "voluntarily" suspended for pirating nipple play porn, has since returned
- Momosuzu Nene formally apologises for tracing art
- Tribalism after Petra accidentally showed NijiEN's Discord vent channel on stream
- WACTOR sues one of its talents and exposes the talent's real name in their Twitter statement
- Vcow called Ames live-streams this thread and cries about harassment, has since quit and reincarnated (I think)
- Holofes
- VOMS 2nd anniversary
- Holostars Uproar, HoloID3 debut, some past life info
- Calli signed with Universal Music
- V-Saikyou, the first (and supposedly last) time Aqua has played in a tournament
- 5 talents simultaneously graduate from Tsunderia
- Idol Corp (Israeli Vtuber company) person in charge is either a scammer or in over his head, debuts may or may not be to your taste
- Anycolor goes public
- Sony Music now manages PRISM Project

-- Yuri later spilled tea on stream, Least Concern posted a text recap
- Virtuareal posts a statement that Qilou has/had passed away
- Ongoing issue with Youtube where porn bots spam stream chats and get the channel banned for sexual content - big corpo victims I know of were Kobo, Iofi and Mika
- A-Soul (Chinese Vtuber company) faces accusations of treating its talents as slave labour
- Assorted Vcows, names I remember are Cimrai and Saruei (separate dramas)

Also there was a thread survey and Strawpoll.

Spoiler: Posts

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

Lots of you already answered, thanks, but I decided to make the strawpoll anyway so if you don't mind you can vote again here.
Also i rephrased the question for clarity.

when did you start following the vtuber scene​

(the milestones to separate the "eras" are arbitrary don't break my balls if you think I should have added something else)

Considering her parents, I wouldn't be surprised if she's been protected and controlled her entire life. She probably goes where she's 'allowed' and that's it. Maybe this is her first vacation without the parental units breathing down her neck, who knows?

Reine seems to have a better grip on the fickle nature of content creation and fanbases than I'd expect from someone who's been controlled.

Not directly related, but in her pre-vacation talk stream she said she has a family member who grinds their teeth and it drives her nuts during family gatherings. It's the most I've ever heard her say about her family on a public stream.

You cant convince me that she didn't just want a tako Laundry pouch/bag herself, what big brain strats. Make your own merch and then just let your mother buy it all. Genius

At least is something rather different even if it is somewhat unusual, makes a nice change from the usual merch you get.

On one hand, very practical. On the other hand, if I actually used either of those and they got wear and tear, I would be sad.

She's better at speaking it than I thought.

Subaru had a talk stream after her call, so she had more to say about it:

Question for those who've been watching longer than I have: any examples of her early level of English? I know she studied in Canada, but she also previously had incidents with her translations and I don't think she ever got pulled into the HoloEN0 bit.

 

[ZMOT]

Didn't Rushia also had been accused for doing something like this, which people theorized attributed to her firing?

Doesn't look good if it's true

there was all kinds of shit going around what allegedly happened, no one really knows besides cover and rushia. niji also isn't hololive and "playing together" is hardly something that I'd consider preferred treatment.

Definitely the Miko's GTA N-Word clip

miko doesn't say the gamer word that often. otoh:

I’m gonna guess it was from the same stream as this.

We don't know the specifics of what else she did or what she specifically leaked, but we do know that she was msging her whales. There has never been a doubt about that, because her own whales "confessed" with screenshots included after she was fired of the video messages.

 

[Che merda di posto]

Got a little question for the group, please disregard if it doesn't interest you.

So I came upon Ina's famous "Kabedon't" clip earlier and I thought this clip is a pretty good introduction to Ina. It gives you a fair feel for her sense of humor, her banter with chat, and the overall vibe of her streams. I contrasted it with clickbaity/cherry-picked clips that maybe give a misleading impression of the streamer.

So here's my question. Do you know of any clips that you feel are a really good representation of the streamer? Maybe one that could serve as a good introduction to the streamer for those not familiar with them? I'm particularly interested in Nijisanji and Holostars since I'm least familiar with them, but Hololive clips are also welcome.

Not a clip but you can jump in at any part of this stream to get a pretty good idea about of what Pomu is about.

which was hardly the reason for the termination (unless she took money for it). even a "don't contact viewers outside official channels" clause would've warranted that reaction, if anything it was merely a contributing factor.

so unless the feesh has a sidegig going, under a company which seems much more lenient, I highly doubt we'll ever hear anything even if they give her shit for it.

 

[Airless]

Yes.

Someone needs to tell me if I am making up rrats in my own head or not, but when they do these call-in streams, I swear to the Lord, I remember somebody mentioning that they message people and ask people beforehand if they'll come and say hi. I cannot for the life of me remember who was talking about this or where I think I heard it, but it MIGHT have been related to an Ollie birthday stream? I'm only asking because it's driving me up the wall not being able to discern whether I'm just making shit up or not. Information would be much appreciated thanks.

Ame's talked about it before too. I don't remember the stream but she mentioned something about not realizing that she had to plan in advance which is why not many people showed up to her first birthday stream.

So here's my question. Do you know of any clips that you feel are a really good representation of the streamer? Maybe one that could serve as a good introduction to the streamer for those not familiar with them? I'm particularly interested in Nijisanji and Holostars since I'm least familiar with them, but Hololive clips are also welcome.

Someone upthread posted this and it's what got me into Machita Chima

Not Holostars or Nijisanji but..

I'm fucking heartbroken I wasn't here to shit on Calli with the boys, but this Pippa stream makes me 2ant to watch more Lisa.

• Was in a math rock band
• Bedroom producer
• Her favorite album is by Lamp
• A big fan of Bathory and Venom
• Likes Death Grips and Title Fight without irony
• Also George Clanton and some anime shit idk

She's just like me fr fr

Lisa has been an excellent addition to the rabbits harem.

The perfect example of Roberu, dude's got charisma and social skills for days, he'll happily joke around and hold entire conversations with people he's never met nor planned to talk to.

Gamma's basically Roberu if he wasn't playing the straight man, he'll take shots at everyone, including himself while keeping up conversations.

Astel is a bro, he's always down to dick around and have fun, but he's not afraid to call you out on your dumb shit.

Aruran's basically the Holostars Fubuki, change my mind.

I'm too lazy to do the other members, but they are definitely worth checking out. Their concert and all their 3d collabs are fantastic and worth a watch.

 

[Big PiPi Energy]

Speaking of that dumb bitch, she did absolute wonders for Lily. I'm not personally into GFE or the coomer shit but it got me to appreciate how fantastic her model is. Some of the best and most varied facial expressions I've seen yet.

 

[BlueSharkTV]

when in the fuck gura made this?

 

[2DUM4U]

Apex is a hard filter for me, but that Pizza guy is fucking funny. Gammy guy has nice rigging, his rigger ought to give Gura's some lessons.

It's a really polished model, but the overall style is just too cutesy for me. Same with her stream style. She reminds me a bit of Silvervale - mostly inoffensive but just too cutesy/coomey to endure for more than a couple of minutes.

when in the fuck gura made this?

Members only content? I think she's done ASMR for members, though I'm not a member myself.

 

[field rice mouse]

Yet she hasn't been fired, suggesting the Hologirls aren't too bothered. So here's a disturbing thought.

What would happen if she groped someone outside HoloLive, someone who didn't know her?

Just grope? Ask Huma Wat.

Spare a thought for her APEX coach Pinky who is 18 as well, five years younger than her who have to handle two menheras and one gremlin.

Also since it's another weekend, another cover song from MaiR, this time Kokoroe

Seeing an unusual amount of dislikes. Is this fallout from the whole Luxiem favoritism drama?

Edit: Mysta's recent past streams have been disliked too.
