The VTuber thread in Multimedia has been one of the most active threads of the site for years, and has so many views from guest visitors that it is one of the top 5 most viewed threads. I've been informed by users and certain personalities in the industry that the Kiwi Farms thread is unique in the English-speaking landscape because it is not pornographic, is not overrun with trannies, and does not censor information.
I have had my reservations with anime people on the site, and I still do, but every time I have asked something of the VTuber thread it has been able to meet me on those issues. It is now in a good enough place, and I am in a strange enough mood, where I want to see what happens if I give it more space. The board's rules were made in cooperation with a handful of frequent users and appear on every page.
Special notes.
Don't touch the third rail.
Sexualized depictions of child-like fictional characters is not welcome on the Kiwi Farms. If you are new to the forum, you will find the Prudent Poster's Guide informative. The topic as a whole should just be avoided. There's no point litigating it. You're going to find better company on places like /vt/. Bringing it up here is just going to make the rest of the Kiwi Farms hate this board.
This extends to any performer who describe their character as a loli or lolicon, either via their official descriptions or behavior on-stream. The community at large does not want these people to have fan spaces on the site. I have the last word on who this applies to.
Conflict of interests.
I will appoint some mods shortly. I do not want any moderators who have associations with any performer or agency. If you suspect there exists a bias in moderation, make a thread in Talk to Staff or email me. I don't watch any of this, I am just trying to accomodate people. I don't want to talk to, collaborate with, or promote any performer or agency.
On-topic (Lolcow) boards vs. Off-topic boards.
Kiwi Farms is first and foremost a place for critical discussion, which takes place in on-topic boards. This is an off-topic board and is for casual discussion and fan threads. If you want to make a lolcow thread on a vtuber, it should go into Prospering Grounds first and should follow the guidelines the same as any other lolcow thread. Don't disrupt threads in this board with a-logging ("rrat" posting).
Genies don't go back in bottles.
Kiwi Farms has a maximalist approach towards freedom of information. It is ultimately the responisiblity of individuals, not the public at large, to maintain their privacy. For that reason, no information is deleted from this site. This does not mean that threads welcome spamming identifying information to annoy users. The Prudent Poster's Guide goes into more detail.
New threads.
Temporarily, for the health of the board, new threads can only be created in this board by users who have had more than 10 posts in the VTuber thread by March 31st.
The old VTuber thread will be imported wholecloth and left alone for general discussion. I'm not forcing anyone out of that thread.
New OPs should focus on some level of quality with a brief introduction. I'd also encourage adding some clips.
P.S. It is safe to archive clips directly to the forum and you are encouraged to do so.
