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

Not bringing up other Vtubers as a rule always seemed autistic to me. I could understand if streamers just said, "Hey, don't bring up other streamers because I'm a corporate Vtuber; my company doesn't want to deal with drama and potentially cause problems for me or the company." Instead, they have to play this game of, "Well, ackshually talking about other Vtubers is, like, really rude." Imagine if someone did this shit with some actual streamers.
It's to protect the integrity of the content. People from other fanbases pouring in and hijacking the chat can not only demotivate the streamer but piss off the fans. It is insulting when you tune into a particular streamer you like only for a bunch of spergs to rush in "HEY DO YOU KNOW GURA?!"

Good recent example is Natsumi the chinchilla, people constantly bring up Pippa to the point Pippa herself felt the need to tweet and tell people to shut the fuck up.

That sounds more like spam, rather than an issue of people mentioning someone's name. I think the issue here is how I've seen people talk about it. The way I have seen streamers talk about it, you're not even allowed to do so much as utter someone's name once. For example, "Oh, I see you're playing this game. I saw X play it last week." Is that something that would get you banned or chewed out? That is something entirely different from people spamming chat about another streamer or someone superchatting to ask someone to do a collab with someone else.

The issue also extends to raiding. I don't know how a streamer can direct his/her audience to someone else and not expect the chat to bring up someone else, especially if the streamer being raided is some random who's never interacted with the original streamer, and there's no audience overlap. If it's an issue, just don't raid.

tl;dr: I'm gay

Unless the streamer has some sort of relationship with that other streamer that should be spit on. Noone cares who else you watched play the game, they are there to watch the person currently providing content. Ban worthy? Nah. Rude and annoying? 100%.
The rule has been understood that until the streamer themselves bring up other streamers, there is no need to bring up other streamers.
It's kinda like walking into a place of business and bringing up one of their competitors. You most likely won't get banned but you will look rude as fuck.

Pippa talked about this just the other day. The rule is pretty much exclusive to youtube streamers and youtube doesn't have an established raid culture so it's in a grey area since people tend to expect things to operate like they do on twitch. I think upon initial raid its fine to make reference to who did the raid but past that, being part of a raid shouldn't entitle you to commandeer the streamers chat. Twitch raiders don't even do that.

Same.
 
turns out, I fucked up and missed an entire birthday stream because I didn’t know it was on. Forgot to check Twitter

Pippa decorating a build-a-bear snake plushie and making it a wizard.

I don't want to alarm you guys, but Pippa has woman hands. I'm not sure how to feel about this.
Snek is best girl and the fact that she's going to be the physical representation of chat makes me very happy.
