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

Apparently Vtuber companies can now opt for the SPECIAL blue checkmark of twitter, not the one for cucks but the one for MANLY MAN WITH VOICE CHANGERS

Let's be real here, the reason is because Shondo is radioactive for anyone wanting to cater to a mainstream base.
Seems I was wrong on this with Vedal going ahead and doing a collab with her today. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, I wonder what his game plan is. On one hand the idea of Neuro being pushed to the side by an upgrade seems to be a worry of his, so that would make doing as much as possible while he can a smart idea. Plus he can still back out at anytime with decent deniability about how 'based' Shondo is. On the other hand maybe he sees Neuro's neutrality as an AI as enough safety to keep anyone from attacking him, anything yab can just be blamed on the quirky AI who regularly talks about going SKYNET on humanity.
 
Potential happening at Phase Connect, over the last day or so Fuura Yuri (previously Amaris Yuri) has deleted her Twitch VOD channel on YouTube (which was apparently here,) wiped the channel info from her Twitch and YouTube, closed her YouTube memberships and Twitch subscriptions, left Lumi's discord server, closed her maros, closed her sponsorship link, and her contact link is apparently dead.

Her last tweet was four days ago. (Archive)

Lia and Pippa said they had a meeting after their stream earlier, and it was recently the one year anniversary of her joining Phase Invaders, leading to speculation that she may not have renewed her contract. There is currently nothing confirmed however.
 
The second part of Marine's VA audition of her rpmaker game from highschool with professional voice actor's finished. It's crazy that this stuff is actually happening just because Subaru interviewed people about her cringe past. There is going to be a version voice by Holomems and by actually VAs.

Looks kind of like a goodbye message. My first suspicion was menhera attack, but I don't think she'd be waiting until her contract renewal if that were the case.

Recently shit's been tough with that controversy over Silvervale and Pikamee, Pippa being attacked for doing a revenge stream with the other members of the PC likely facing pushback for this, though by no means am I blaming anyone, Sinder receiving hate for her cover and Lumi getting passive-aggressive criticism from the busybodies in her old company for using their models for shitpost, with some less directly impactful incidents like Zaion's suspension. The VTuber community has become more hostile, and Yuri herself mentioned it before (Archive). I think she's just fed up with this toxicity and wants to move on, although that's just my subjective opinion.

Cross-post from TVA, originally posted by @Scuttle.

Not sure if anyone was talking about this at all but Selen Tatsuki was invited by Nocturnal to participate in the Apex Rising Tournament, a charity fundraiser for AIDS research and prevention hosted and organised by a former pro and current ALGS shoutcaster, Falloutt.

The standard of play is much higher than V-Saikyo as each team comprises of at least Diamond players, but spearheaded by pros like Hal, Sweet, Snip3down etc. Unlike V-Saikyo, too, there were 40 teams and it was a double elimination format.

Nocturnal's team of him, Selen, and a female challenger indie streamer called Ashwie_ came 1st in Group A, and then qualified for Grand Finals by finishing 9th in Winners Bracket. They unfortunately finished 16th in Grand Finals yesterday, but this is the least interesting part of the streams.

Selen was invited as a last minute entry as someone else dropped out, but the chemistry between her and Noct quickly led to them becoming the most-donated team and blowing past the $5,000 goal. Amazed by this, Falloutt called them on stream to thank them, and cited Selen as the main reason this was happening. They explained that they had established stretch goals at $5k, $7.5k and $10k to order each other cursed pizzas, and Falloutt said that he'd join in too at $15k.

Amidst all this, someone told Nocturnal about Ouro Kronii blending a subway sandwich and he blocked her Twitter live on stream. Despite this, NiceWigg - a former pro, Noct's friend and official commentator for the tournament - was watching Noct's stream at this time and told Noct that they'd drink a blended subway sandwich on their podcast. Both of them ganged up on Selen and told her she'd be invited to the podcast to join them in the act.

The tournament ended and Noct's team finished 1st in overall donations at about $18k. Falloutt was blown away and fired up a second stream of him discovering V-Tubers (which is sadly now mostly Lost Media, as in the same stream he also drove around his neighbourhood looking for pizza which was a doxxers' wet dream). Fans introduced him to V-Saikyo and, believing he had the facilities to assist ShibuyaHal in some kind of overseas collaboration, reached out to him on twitter.

The giggling purple dragon has somehow stumbled her way into blowing the wall between JP V-Tubers and the EN Apex pro scene wide open. Though I suppose you could also say that, if V-Saikyo suddenly has massive overseas presence, it's because Axel fought to give Selen her opportunity to snowball and network.

Selen's tenacity in networking and going for all sorts of different things, even if they are outside of her comfort zone, is why she's consistently in my top 3. Sasuga giggle dragon.
I'm super burned out on Apex content, but listening to her banter with her team is almost always guaranteed to be great backround noise, regardless of who the team is.

pretty sure that's just the normal corpo-mark elon offered for a while, corps can buy them for certain people and automatically get associated. iirc there's also a golden for artists and grey for government etc...

last I've seen she said she wanted to stream more on youtube, didn't sound like she was pondering to leave.
