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

I can't tell whether you're trying to push your luck, or trying to get Feeder-senpai to notice you again.
"Feeder-senpai" noticed the thread already.
@Henry was a Windex-drinking retard and summoned him here.
Reminder: don't post the term that will most assuredly bring Dear Leader's banhammer crashing down on you're head.
(@DelusionTree Don't quote the offending post, either. Just report it).
 
Scar from hernia surgery, I had an ex with a smaller one that was above her belly button.
There are some apendicitis scars that are also vertical (although the vast majority are diagonal or horizontal).

With all the anxiety that PC Gen 1 feels about Gen 2 I often wonder what did the first generation of Hololive and Nijisanji feel about the second generation of their respective company's vtubers. And what do they do that allieviate those anxiety knowing they cannot express them in streams.
I don't think the first two waves of Hololive felt anything different as the company was still pretty small and the talents all were debuting somewhat randomly. The problem came with Gen 3 and Gen 4. Aki explains that since Gen 3, Hololive's popularity was already big and the barrier for entry was high. it also didnt help that the debuts were all somewhat together and each gen started debuting as a group.


The "nephilim" was a struggle to keep the tab open. Loli coomerbaiting - not a fan. Oh you have an evil eye? More occult shit. Hololive has a nephilim, a succubus, a devil, an oni, an angel, and haachama - but apart from haachama using a baphomet version of herself (maybe she's done worse, idk), I've never seen them actually go into religious stuff in lore. I guess haachama's eyepatch is the same thing so IDK, whatever. I get that it's meant to be for "fun" and I know that debut videos are not representative of the personality later on. It's just a big turn-off.
After closing and re-opening the tab a couple times, when she said she needed a fan to sacrifice their body to her, that was it for me.
I had no problems with her accent.
Not sure how much of this was pushed by management or how much came from the talent but she seems to be going the Salome route in trying to stick to her lore and her character. Time will only tell if she sticks to it or if its something she will drop after the first week.

Botan has a silly tracking problem yesterday....

.....Actually, that is not a problem. It's actually Botan showing her age. Next she will develop parkinsons we'll see.
I have noticed that the right eye (left one for us) often glitches in Live2D not sure why.

I now believe the rrat that YouTube actually downplays live viewers. Olivia has 12k likes atm but only has 7k~ viewers. Viewership has never dropped or risen past that point yet the likes kept going up.
I feel the same way. Pippa often runs polls that end up having twice as many votes as the number of viewers she has on stream in the period of 5-10minutes. I find it hard to believe that while the viewer numbers stay the same, twice as many unique viewers get to come and go in the span of 10 minutes. I have heard people mention that for live viewers if you have AdBlock, the site won't count you (though it counts you later as total view).

I know this is bait, but I am certain that some will take you serious and believe this.
How can anyone look at this model and believe this is an adult?
Just look at the picture in the background is that an adult? How old do Ina and Watson look to you? Are these woman in their late 20 or older? Do they look older than most character in shitty highschool rom-com anime? Perhaps but not by much. (Also here is the CircleTest™ with her actual model - 5 and a half at most)

The head thing is not an end-all solution to determine if a character is a ロリ or not. That said, anyone, saying that she isn't a ロリ is full of shit.

That was confirmed beyond doubt at least since last December when they really went overboard with the culling (and Japanese side was probably more affected this time so there was more outrage), the only debatable part is how much get's cut since it seems to be less about channel itself but the viewers getting flagged as bots and shadowbanned or something. It's also true that yt is more strict about what they count as views in comparison to twitch, afaik if you mute stream or even if it's not loud enough they stop counting you etc. I guess we have kpop stans to thank for that.
 
Thanks for stepping in, Stenographer. We don't need to push Dear Leader's buttons in that way. I have met and know petite women irl, but there's no need to try justifying it to the overlord. Best to avoid it in that case, especially with that outfit.

I expect it will ease off at least, see what level plays well when doing various activities and interacting with others. I imagine management will keep an eye on various streams, see what is playing well with the audience, and give advice based on that. I think there was viewers picked up from the ads actually, so I imagine they'll want to do their best to retain them.

Hanabi is going to be trying out Terraria tonight, if someone was looking for something on the comfier side, this might be a possibility:

The worst of it wasn't even about Shiina, it was about Remilia's literal loli-form.

I'd say Shiina's design is debatable in either direction, but we wouldn't be dealing with someone in a reasonable nuanced debate about various styles of anime and character design theory, so in most cases it'd be better to err on the side of caution. I mean, come on though, lore-wise she is literally older than the oldest star, that puts her at 6000 years old minimum.

Remilia just has a straight up loli-transformation, that is obviously a no-go.
 
Pippa really has nothing to worry about with Gen2. She has her own niche and a very dedicated fanbase. The only things she probably has to worry about are herself having an autistic meltdown that drives people away or her going too far causing management to tighten the reins even more.

Just want to point out, Ariga Hitoshi did not do any actual design art for Mega Man (other than two bosses in Mega Man and Bass). He mainly did box art and promotional art. His biggest claim to Mega Man fame are the manga he drew for the series which had some real cool art. He also is known for doing some Pokemon designs and Pokemon card art and the manga for The Big O anime.

Surreal for me to see this clip, though. Ariga was a favorite artist of mine when I was younger and I own prints of the Mega Man manga he made.
 
Some y'all like to test the sleeping drooling dog and forget he doesn't give a shit.

EDIT: welp looks like I was late to posting so instead have this fishman selfie.

Amiya is streaming right now the site she created on Neocities. Still a work in progress but she has done a few things so far.
I hope buckos can contribute in it some how.

We don't even have to do the typical stuff turbo-weebs need to in order to talk about it. Just put Shiina's design next to her IRL peformer. She's basically the exact same body proportions, just on a 30 year old Hag. She's talked at length about this during her time as Shirara. Because she herself is such a petite woman, she feels much more at home having a petite model rather that a booba-bombshell. She's even outright said, "Look I'm not loli. I'm literally just a tiny woman. They unfortunately look the same."

Either way though, I'm not poking the fucking bear and will just avoid it where I can.
Pippa feeling the new gen anxiety must be odd for someone that is Gen 1, dont worry Pips only you managed to make the Ralphamale mald on stream and just for that no one can beat you
Her feelings are understandable really. Gen 1 had to fight tooth and nail for all the views, subs, and audience they currently have. Gen 2 gets to benefit from everything they've already built.
