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

How did that Salome lady get so big? Her current stream has 80K viewers.
Great design, great streaming chunk (about an hour, little over), great slot (after work/school) and for as much as holobros want to take it as an attack, she picked up on the hologirls who been mia/started streaming less or were out for medical reasons. Content wise she's really entertaining (and knowing Japanese helps a lot with understanding it) since as said, a lot of Niji oldheads says it reminds them of the earlier days so you have people from basically all ends of the Vtubing spectrum checking her out. When certain hologirls are back to full speed she'll drop off (we already seen the drop off happen) but she'll still be pretty up there in general in terms of strictly Nijisanji speaking.

Not directed at you but it sure sounds like a lot of people are just using menhera to refer to any woman that has expectations, realistic or not, on how relationships should be.
Menhera is one of those overused terms these days you just kinda, stop focusing on when you know it's not being used properly. She's in no way, shape, or form mentally ill, she's just..a woman with shit luck in love lol. Rushia, she is the definition of menhera.
 
If it helps, her character isn't just being an Ojou-sama. It's being an Otaku hiki hick larping as an Ojou-sama that says and does a lot of freaky shit like openly talking about how she pees and showcasing her gastroscopy photos of her insides.
If she ever has a call-in stream for whatever reason, I would like one of the callers to keep on blasting her with remarks about how lady-like she is, just to see how she would react.
 
Japan has no mental health care awareness framework, anyone who doesn't fit in with their drone-like stupor is labeled "menhera" as a catch-all misfit.
That being said, there are exceptional nutcases: shut-ins, germophobes, agoraphobes, nuclear-autism picky eaters, you start to realize that "hmm maybe being filthy fujoshi is a high mark for these women".
 
I feel like Hololive actively saying that they won't interfere with your monetization, and that you get a notice from them whenever you have a clip that they're taking issue with(for registered clippers) is one hell of a massive boon up for clippers and viewers. Makes clippers less afraid of getting striked by Cover, and they're basically getting headpats for being good clippers. God bless Depressed Nousagi. Though I feel like the man's been holding himself back lately. I missed the edgy and shitposty style of his old videos.
Nyfco still has nothing on her, at least based on the last time I've checked. There were rumors of her being an ex-idol in a small group, but just rumors. I don't know moonrunes either, so don't trust me, but from what I can gather the appeal isn't that she's a royal girl per se. She's more along the lines of a crude basement dweller from Kansai (read: hicks) living out her dream of being a royal princess with all the stereotypes she would've seen. It's two polar extremes that seemingly work wonders in the source language, especially with her charm.
I forgot who said it, but, the ex-idol rrat is bullshit. Girl barely sings and showed no interest in singing or performing. It is interesting how Nyfco still got nothing on her though. Kobo and Salome are the two people whose pasts I'm eager to learn about more.

I really think people overestimate how much of an impact Hololive absences have had. Salome has next to no overlap with the 100+ other members of Nijisanji, so I highly doubt people have jumped from Hololive talents to a Niji in the tens of thousands without even bothering to consider just watching the active Holo's and staying in the bubble.

On top of that, Pekora's return stream occurred on the 13th and peaked at 105K viewers. Salome then streamed Kuukiyomi 3 a few hours later and peaked at 91K. The viewers just aren't budging.

It was me who was Salome-posting about her past. I never ruled out the possibility, I just said that, at the time, she only ever expressed a passing interest in drawing and never music.

However, during her 1,000,000 sub stream, she made 'make a cover song' one of her new goals. It doesn't necessarily reflect a passion or talent for music but, let's be honest, the most you can say about the vast majority of even the idols that 'made it' is that they aren't tone deaf. Most of them have that high-pitched genki voice and no range beyond that, and autotune can assist the people who aren't totally hopeless.

So, ultimately, the trail runs cold regardless. I can't dismiss it outright, but the vocal bar for idol singers is very low and casts a net so wide that it's possible it caught Salome at one point in her life.

It's literally just Zinnaha saying that the Hololive absences affected her growth though. I don't think anyone else thinks Peko, Marine, and Korone's absence made much of an impact to her growth. But regardless, the ex-idol thing doesn't add up, yeah. How does one even arrive to that conclusion with literally nothing to work with and without any supporting clues?

Though it looks like the MC server might be getting updated and she will play Skyrim instead.
Good thing Gura's stream begins when I am at lunch at work, so not gonna miss it. Doubt it will take too long to reach it 4 million.

My unsupported rrat is that she's a nepotism hire being related to someone in upper management. A lot of unusually high faith in her you generally don't see.

She's already at 4 million. Faitly certain she wasn't paying attention so this is all being haphazardly thrown together at the moment. She probably has something planned but it's not yet ready.
 
I swear everytime the possibility of a discord clique was brought up it was mocked as retarded faggotry. Who the hell actually made one??
@Undercover Commissioner explained thoroughly what happened:
Let the newfag enlighten you.

This was made after @moments fade pain remains saved the thread. Note the link is dead, and all discord invites on 9chan are dead aswell. I don't have one either.
The subject is (to my knowledge) not mentioned again for 2000 pages. Until page 3234

Note the lack of mockery that follows, it is simply discussed as a backup.
It is later mentioned again after 2000 pages

Edit mb it was mentioned on page 2017- sorry i dont know how to edit in quotes

King Coofer started a discord, VToiletHumor, waaay back when Josh was kinda dooming about shutting down the site after 9chan. It was pretty dead until The Gulagging/The Joshening when the Dark Eye first cast its baleful gaze on our humble thread and there was a huge influx of butthurt fags like myself. During the recent The DDOSening, someone who's been accused of being Stenogopher started Kiwi-tual Vtubers, but most of the members are also in VToilet, so it doesn't see a lot of action unless people want to bitch about Alte cause he's not there.
Wait a sec...
During the recent The DDOSening, someone who's been accused of being Stenogopher started Kiwi-tual Vtubers,
:story:
What the hell is "Kiwi-tual Vtubers"?
This is the first time I'm hearing of this.
Is there someone out there impersonating me?
Why? I'm nobody worth impersonating.

I’m just relieved @Hotdogs Aplenty and @5t3n0g0ph3r aren’t in the discord.
I was DM'd an invite. I did not accept it, knowing full well that nsfw channels would be set up.
Degenerates.
I understand when a MATI tranny shits their pants (or some other thin-skinned tard) and repeatedly DDoS the site that users may want an alternative to continuing conversations normally held here, but may I suggest the Fediverse? I understand its interface may come off as a poor man's Twitter, but it reduces Discord faggotry.
 
My unsupported rrat is that she's a nepotism hire being related to someone in upper management. A lot of unusually high faith in her you generally don't see.

I mean, if she hadn't taken off then people would be saying that Nijisanji set her up to fail with a gimmick name, no genmates, and no debut song (unlike the most recent JP wave and all EN waves).

I agree that they seem to have put a lot of faith in her, but I doubt it's just due to her being related to someone. I think people forget that the Niji nepotism joke is just that - a joke that Selen and Petra made on stream.
 
Some replies

No idea either. If you're watching, go ahead and let us know if she says anything of note. I sort of hope she has figured things out in what she wants for vtubing and viewership, obviously she hadn't so far. Hopefully it's healthy, not so menhera, and in a good direction for her wellbeing.
It's notRushia - she has nothing figured out.
It's the peels. Maybe if you are lucky you can snag yourself a piece of sunburnt Keeki skin.
That's bad opsec, they could 23 and me her.
Risu's performance is my favorite:

Speaking of Aki, I don't know Japanese but I enjoyed her Subnautica streams when I could catch them - I recently played and beat it for the first time so it was kind of neat seeing someone else coming at it with a different approach and learning things. One part that sticks out in my memory was when her underwater base was getting damaged and filling with water, and she couldn't figure out the cause - I was confused by what was going on as well because I thought for sure it had enough HP to handle what she had built, and I think the Japanese bros in chat were similarly confused because she seemed to be trying a bunch of different things, but not once did she seem really flustered and just kept going until she eventually figured it out. That sealed Aki as cool-headed under pressure (no pun intended) in my mind.
Aki is a talent that makes me want to do JP reps, she also pigeonholes herself in games like Choco - straight NPC like. It's a delight when the talent likes the game and so do you plus the content is great. If you don't like the game it's pain- ARK :(.
Kson doing a birthday present opening stream.

Given all the stories from her Coco days about how much people would send her on her birthday, her doing a facecam stream of it all finally gives something of an idea of just how much shit people ship to her.

Damn she membered the video. Sending this amount of stuff to a population crammed into small living spaces kinda encapsulates the whole EOP vtuber watcher experience.
What a stark contrast between Mio who's weeping half the time and retelling her 1M path while singing and being grateful.. and then you have Salome who takes 2 minutes to thank everyone then proceeds to play RE7 as if not much happened. Still going strong with 82K peeps watching and rising
Mio might have cried either way but it's been a road for her to get to a million. I hope the other girls like Aki and Choco get there too. It's become a bit of an expectation that doesn't exist in Niji. I think Salome will be viewed like Gura - an outlier. But Myth and later Gen 3 has made it a bit of an expectation for Holos. Still, looking forward to Sora hitting it more then most.

She ended up finishing it but the editing is not perfect. Audio balance and jarring cuts but for a college student not bad. Her real genius is the creativity and outreach. Good job Haato!
There is no wisdom involved. It's very dumb for numerous pretty obvious reasons that could hurt her cat or the bush baby. Keeping primates of any size is a massive pain in the ass and she will probably end up giving it to a shelter or something in a month or two. You will probably have less damage to your house with a pig as an indoor pet than any size of primate. Bush Babies are up there with Toucans and large reptiles as pets people think would be really cool but end up causing nothing but financial pain and mental torture.
This a country that popularized otters as pets and has owl cafes and stuff so anything goes. A light at the end of the tunnel is that Pekomama exists and has taken take of her own peko-bushbaby for years now. Peko has been spergging out on the internet for years and momma never asked why her daughter, kindergarten teacher cert. haver, doesn't leave the house. I have confidence that pekomama can do anything.
The photos on the site aren't complete, dude who runs it probably doesn't know he can see the full image on a tweet archive, these are the full pictures.

This fucker, dear leader just fucking talked about this.
Same here, better safe than sorry.

I'm genuinely surprised he's just carrying on, I figured he'd go off the grid for a couple days after what happened.
It's hard being alive. Sometimes we make it harder and sometimes we don't know how to make it easier. Yugo is a great singer and hope to hear more fun stuffs later.
This is my favoirte type of post. It's mystery combined with FOMO all wrapped up in meaningless. o7
I think Gigguk's wife knows some Japanese, but not sure.
I get the vibe that her and Calli do know a good amount of Japanese and also get the vibe that they might be young Karen's in a land of customer-service excess.
The funny thing is that Vshojo's "talents" like Ironmouse seem to treat the company as a club full of friends to indulge in their narcissistic fantasies, not recognising that corporate California already partially owns them, I'm sure everyone knows about the investment:

Everything they do is under their investors' watchful eyes, the litmus test will be this upcoming anime expo and how they are received, let me tell you investors will be looking at it with scrutiny.
Guess I will be doing an EN clip or two.

$11m. Its almost amazing how something so big can be run by what it seems to be a bunch of drunk toddlers. Why do I have the feeling that at some point one of the talents will lose their rights to their character and get phased the fuck out and replaced by someone else?

- a fool and their money something something but this time the fool is giving money to fools as well, maybe.

Good luck with the clips Az.
Yeah, there was generally less fantasy going on, though you still had some going for a more fantastical look, like Nojaloli.

In general the main way I'd describe early vtuber designs would be "idol." Obviously due to the success of Kizuna Ai, Kaguya Luna, Mirai Akari, etc. JK-gumi (Mito, Kaede, and Deron) actually really stood out back in the day because of their plain designs. I remember being interested in them back in 2018 because "regular high school uniform" wasn't (and really still isn't) all that common for vtubers. So I wouldn't really take those Nijisanji members as representative of general vtuber designs from that era, one can see how Mito in particular stands out because of her normality when compared to most of the cast of Virtual-san Looking (which aired from January to March 2019), for example.

IMO a part of Mito's appeal was that she wasn't some high tech idol or something, she's just your weird class rep who eats clovers and likes UFOs.

Since 2018 we've definitely seen an uptick in fantastical designs and also just more polished complicated designs as more artists come into the industry and as l2d & 3d gets better.
Ahh, still think Mito would be helped by having an iconic asset but fair to say her design plainness is iconic itself.
Hilarious if there's a discord server for this thread dedicated to crying but to be fair, there are rumoured discord servers for other threads full of people sperging too. I already know of people who "team up" about issues in other boards to push their own gayops and try to take over threads. It's all really cringe but that's what KF is a lot of the time. Lots of spergs, being spergs and crying about other spergs.

Too many people on this thread are literally just on KF for Vtubing though and expect a safe space. Half the time I get people sperging at me in here for not liking their waifu, it's people with 3000 posts and all in Vtubing in the last month. Diversify people. Go check out the other boards, then you won't be shocked when you have people going full schizo with "Anime pfp? Pedophile. Kill yourself. Dox now so I can check sex offender registries! You a Jew or a nigger?!?!?" It's the KF experience.

Advice: someone comes in to shit on Vtubing? Ignore them, laugh at them, whatever, just don't cry someone fucked your safe space. If they keep doing it or are being off-topic? Report them. It's that simple, folks. You're on a site where 50% of the posters are one step away from being a lolcow themselves who'll scream and reeeeee because you have an anime avatar or don't believe in the global Jewish conspiracy so you must be an FBI plant. You should all be used to this level of retardation by now. If you aren't, I don't know what to tell you lol

The biggest retards I see in this thread are out and out Vtuber fans so I think "raids" are the least of this threads problem.
That's how you get Pipkin.
Anyone aiming for the moral highground on a site primarily dedicated to making fun of people might be missing the point. I don't visit other threads of this board - I have Pippa for that. And inference.


EDIT:

You guys have a discord and you didn't invite me? :(
Too cool for discord people unite.

Also as proven multiple times, nothing good comes from discord anyways.
Still sad. It's like not getting invited to a birthday that you wouldn't go to anyways.

Pippa got dream sacked as a kid. But instead of chloroform it was just a rice bag she got put in after being shut up in the shed. Dreaming pippers.

Good.

By the way in case anyone is wondering what was shared in the NSFW channels, there was Himemori Luna porn shared so take that as you will.
 
Remember that clip I posted in which Astel told Rio that Miyabi is getting fat and even developing some gunt? Well, in this episode of WachaSTARS the soon-to-turn-thirty Roberu and sleeps-for-twelve-hours-games-a-lot-and-never-exercises Miyabi had their examinations announced by the head doctor of a gastroenterological clinic. Roberu is perfectly normal. Miyabi has high fat levels in his blood and barely enough good cholesterol. He was advised to diet and exercise.
 
Don't know if anyone posted this before, but here's Pippa felting a 2view they/them on twitter.
