You do know that The Virtual Asylum and KiwiFarms are different places right? And that your “last 20 pages” looks schizo because you’re talking about a completely different website as if it’s the exact same.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Nolan of all people but yes shitting on people because they're posting something here just because it's been posted on a completely different website is stupid. In fact, I'd love to see more of condensing 20 pages of TVA sperging into an effortpost, please.

To keep it short: Vtubing has hit the same 'more money wins' stride that basic streaming has. Just like no one wanted to watch a streamer who didn't have a full lighting setup with high end mics and on the fly soft editing, no one will 'lower' themselves to watch just a basic PNGtuber anymore. Shit, if a Vtuber doesn't have at least a fully articulated model, they're basically fucked already. Basic headtracking just won't do anymore. And then you get the Vshojo's dropping new multi thousand dollar models every other month, and mocking people for not liking it, because it's 'fun' to change models. You get tubers like Snuffy, who's also fallen into the same trap as Mouse, changing her model more than her clothes, each with full 3d tracking and all the bells and whistles. Meanwhile, little Nancy No-Name trying to start out with her bouncing avatar gets to eat shit.

This kinda leads to the other problem, which is the exception to the above: If you have bouncing tits on your model. Vtubing has just become titty streaming for weebs at this point, with all the titty streamer fixin's. Usually has the model taking up damn near a fourth of the screen, of course, cropping just under the tits, plenty of bouncing, Shit, the only thing we're missing is a hot tu- oh, wait, nope, got that too. This isn't even getting into that weird fucking 'vtubers stick feet in your face' phase that went around awhile back. Even streamers like Mori, who I quite like, admittedly, entirely due to her days before going to Vtubing, can't have a single stream that could be considered watchable in a public setting, due to it looking like the opening minutes of a particularly cheap hentai. And don't get me started on the soft core porn side like Shylily. The only counter I've gotten is 'tubers like Gwar Gura which...yeah, it's still sex appeal, just to the type of people we don't talk about.

I'm aware this is all coming off as 'old man yells at clouds', but I've got no where else to get this off my chest, and it really does break my heart. When Sonic the fucking Hedgehog is a better Vtuber by merit of not being just another big tittied female model moaning into a mic than the vast majority of the medium? There's a problem.

Sorry to distract from the issue of the day.

Honestly it's interesting to take a look into this. While there are small sections of PNGtubers, for a vtuber to be "successful" they need to atleast have a properly rigged model. Obviously, the flashier, bouncier and more emotive the model is, the higher chance the vtuber has of breaking through. You don't need a model like this to be successful, but damn doesn't it make it easier. It's like a gatcha game in a way, you don't need to shill out money to get far, but shilling out loads of money does give you a good head start over everyone else.

As much as I like Mousey, a big gripe I have is that she constantly changes models, sometimes they get better, other times they get worse. But that got me thinking: why I have issues with Mouse swapping models constantly, but not with Juniper and her now being on her 4th or 5th model?

New costumes and model reveals usually tend to gain some traction. Ex: FFXIV Youtuber and Streamer Lucy Pyre's new model reveal was her most successful stream in a long time. So in a way, I can see Mousey and Snuffy trying to capitalize that by constantly generating hype over a new outfit every so often, that just ends up paying itself with it's debut alone.

As for the boob thing, that's just content creation in general. Most of the Internet is populated by men, so of course having large tits and being sultry will be more popular. I remember when ShyLily debuted, one of the major reasons she was well liked (besides her being adorable) was how bouncy her model was, and I'm talking about both her tits and the rest of the model. Unless you have corporate backing (Holostars) or some really good network of connections (Takahata101), it's almost impossible for male vtubers to pop off.

been a while since I posted im this thread, hope yall are doing well

she eventually put it back to English... which is probably a good thing, she was laughing a little too much at the Spanish

AFAIK Gura only pretends to be retarded, (in spite of the "1, 2, 5" thing) so she should be ok.

You had me going until she got to the "line up the light obelisks" puzzle. Smarter than Pippa? I'll buy that, but it's not a high bar. Not retarded? Best I can do is 50/50 odds.

I wish there were more puzzle game vtubers, the only one that springs to mind is Meno and I just can't get past the child shtick. I don't know who at PRISM suggested that for her character but I imagine they wear a helmet inside. Same with that fallenshadow girl who apparently was/is friends with Fauna, if not for the unholy child roleplay she seems fun.

Alright, someone please tell me - who does one have to jerk off to be able to register for The Virtual Asylum?
"There are five things I don't want to know about. Name the one I listed third." What kinda fucking gay "the password is swordfish" bullshit is that?

Is there even anything worth while on that site other than the worst parts of this thread but a whole fourm? Honestly can't imagine how much concentrated autism that site is, probably like the thunderdome times 10.

We have our own custom reactions. Like a “horrified” that’s Pippa

Also the cultures are basically the same.

With Ironmouse's new models, the artstyle and aesthetic changes too often for the casual viewer to even recognize that it's supposed to be the same character at times.
With Juniper's; it's all drawn and rigged by the very same person themselves so it's simply just new clothing and hairstyles, accessories, etc. It builds onto the original avatar, not chuck it aside.
