Ana Valens / Anastasia Catherine Wythe / Phil Wythe / Philip Stephen Wythe / @SpaceDoctorPhD / @acvalens / @ac_valens - MtF transtrender extraordinaire, formerly a freelance "journalist" for The Daily Dot; but now works for Kotaku, SJW, professional liar and social rouser, CatParty's favorite blogger

You know, throughout all this, if he had other trans vtuber friends, they could have started their own hentai group. What costs are there to starting a vTuber company (honest question, am not Vtuber fan)? Not to mention trans people and their chasers would have ran to support them. All this was just to smear the company so he could soothe his fragile ego.

I'm not sure on full numbers but it can be quite expensive running a corpo (depending on how far you want things to go, like hosting concerts or convention appearances) or even getting your vtuber model upgraded or getting new outfits. Last year there were over a dozen different small vtuber corpos that went bust, many of them because they likely ran out of money.

When Sakana started Phase Connect, he already had quite a lot of money from other business ventures he was part of. They've been around since 2021 and only began turning a profit last year, so they burned cash for three years.

Hololive, one of the biggest vtuber companies had to go public to outside investors in 2023 because they were at risk of closing everything down or selling it off.

Vallure, the group Phil got rejected from during auditions, stands out since they're one of the few English speaking groups that caters explicitly to NSFW stuff which is likely what attracted him since he's already an AGP coomer.
 
Further to what I said before about POCD being total bullshit, besides it not being listed in the DSM-5-TR, and it flunking the basic criteria for classification in OCD in the DSM-5-TR, there is no ICD-10-CM code for POCD. The ICD-10-CM is used for coding, systematizing, and classifying diagnoses in a standardized way. It is how things are put into medical charts, how researchers collect data regarding incidence and prevalence for epidemiological purposes and public health, and how things are submitted to insurance for billing. The ICD-10-CM is the final word in American medicine on if a diagnosis is real and valid. If something isn't in the ICD-10-CM it is guaranteed to be complete bullshit. Everyone else in the world uses the ICD-11, the newer version of the ICD manual, and it functions the same way for them, so essentially the entire world relies on the ICD manual regarding whether a diagnosis is real and valid. The US will be implementing the ICD-11 by 2027.

Note that this is the 2025 revision of the ICD-10-CM which is the very latest edition. When a new revision comes out it supersedes all previous revisions.

You can go through the entire F42 section for every code dealing with OCD and you will not find a single one for POCD:


However, you will find the proper diagnostic codes under F65.4, which happens to be the diagnostic code used by the DSM-5 for Pedophilic Disorder:


Applicable To
  • Pedophilic disorder
Approximate Synonyms
  • Paedophilia
  • Pedophilia, same and opposite sex
  • Pedophilic disorder
  • Pedophilic disorder, sexually attracted to both males and females
Clinical Information
  • A disorder characterized by recurrent sexual urges, fantasies, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children.
  • A sexual disorder occurring in a person 16 years or older and that is recurrent with intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally age 13 or younger). (from apa, dsm-iv, 1994).
Diagnosis Index entries containing back-references to F65.4:
  • Deviation(in)
    • sexualF65.9
      • pederosis F65.4
      • pedophilia F65.4
  • Disorder (of) - see also Disease
    • pedophilic F65.4
  • Pederosis F65.4
  • Pedophilia F65.4

It doesn't get any more definitive than the ICD-10-CM. If it isn't listed in the ICD-10-CM it literally doesn't exist in the realm of medicine.

Also note that the diagnostic index for the ICD-10-CM has it classified as a "Deviation, Sexual" as well as "Disorder (of) - see also Disease"

So, going by the ICD-10-CM diagnostic index, people that have pedophilia are sexual deviants (which I think we can all agree on, its just nice to see it as part of the official diagnostic index that references pedophilia.).

Someone should make sure to tell "Ana" she is a sexual deviant, and link to the appropriate diagnostic code entry.

which is what happens when one LARPs as a psychiatrist online

I agree, that is what happens when people try to do that and don't understand a thing about what they are discussing. I'm glad you are capable of recognizing that despite your complete lack of insight.
 
You can go through the entire F42 section for every code dealing with OCD and you will not find a single one for POCD:

Yes, because it would go under "Obsessive-compulsive disorder, unspecified" or "other obsessive-compulsive disorder," like a lot of subtypes do. Now you're pretending to be an expert in ICD codes as well. Please stop this shit and get back to the troon in question.

Thank you, handsome stranger whose name shows both taste and culture and is in no way extremely awkward for me personally to cite elsewhere under other names I may have. This is definitely going in my arsenal for use against the plethora of idiots trying to call this nonsense a reality.

D42.8, other obsessive-compulsive disorder, would be an inappropriate code as "POCD" is not a valid presentations that can be specified using the “other specified” designation. Clearly you have no idea how the ICD works.

You also mention F42.9, the garbage can for the OCD category, also known as the "Fill in the blank" diagnosis. For those that are not familiar, every major diagnostic grouping has one of these. For OCD disorders, F42, it is the "Obsessive-compulsive disorder, unspecified" code or "Unspecified Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorder" entry as it is listed in the DSM-5-TR. The reason it is called the garbage can is that it is typically used when a clinician is incapable or uninterested in classifying their patient with the disorder proper, or they want to write in their pet diagnosis that isn't recognized, also known as bullshit. This code is only usually used because the clinician in question is crap, has an agenda, or because the patient genuinely falls in-between disorder classifications. Placing someone into this group is generally frowned upon without exceptionally well documented reasoning because it is a catch-all. Without providing rigorous reasoning any one else that has to interact with this patient is left with trying to fill in the blanks on why this diagnostic code was used, which generally entails substantially more work for the next clinician to handle the patient to make sure that nothing was missed. So, this diagnosis code is always used by clinicians for bullshit because there isn't actually a valid code to support their nonsense.

Now you're pretending to be an expert in ICD codes as well.

I'm not pretending to be anything. If you have a problem with my argument, address it, otherwise you're just wasting space, which I guess could be said for most of your arguments.

Please stop this shit and get back to the troon in question.

You're the one that started the argument with me, and also the one that decided to be nasty about it. If you are unable to control yourself and stop replying to me, that is not my problem.
 
YOUR ENTIRE SHITSHOW WAS BASED ON THOSE ARTICLES.

is this the sort of thing a pedo-friendly therapist might do when documenting a pedophile patient?
 
is this the sort of thing a pedo-friendly therapist might do when documenting a pedophile patient?

Absolutely. The "unspecified" diagnosis in each category is famously abused by many clinicians for their various pet causes. The crap that can be written to justify an "unspecified" diagnosis would be unbelievable if not for the fact that someone actually typed it into a computer.
 
He's either so buck broken by his shit being pulled he's buried his grief with extreme gooning or VICE legal told him to shut up

It's his attempt to put his fingers in his ears and yell "NAH NAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU I AM NOT OWNED." He's hiding all the replies calling him a pedophile, too.

I'm kind of interested in the Vice angle a few people on Bluesky brought up: that any normal editor would never have allowed those articles to be published in the first place because of the obvious conflict-of-interest and potential legal issues. In the past a big publisher like Vice would have had a legal team to check articles before they went out. Now they apparently don't have that, plus they hired a managing editor for Nu Waypoint who's a semi-retard that can't write or edit.

It's a good indicator of where the industry is right now. There's no money to be made and no status to be gained, so anyone with any talent has left to change careers or do their own thing. The only people left who'll eagerly accept "gaming journalism" jobs are retards and desperate perverts.
