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

I was honestly surprised, I knew Aqua was competitive, but didnt know she was THIS competitive, definitely didnt expect her to cry on stream about it.
 
Oh good, we can get back to our anime girl sperging.

I've been having quite a bit of fun doing a L.A. Noire play-along with Ame; the game is rather well suited for it. It can be pretty agonizing watching someone else utterly miss a clue for several minutes, but I've had to hang my head in shame a couple of times when she did better on an interrogation than me. I need to go look up some other mystery games.

And also while looking for Luna's old stream, I happened to get a notification of her other character, https://twitter.com/kanonchan1203/status/1347640120472522752 (That she was planning on streaming MH:Rise). She also had a Youtube video scheduled, but I'm guessing it's delayed since she sounded damn sick during yesterday's Mario Kart streams.

So in my search of finding some of the privated Hololive videos, like Luna's old MHW and DS streams, I stumbled on https://hololivevideos.download/.
They're only like 480p but being able to watch the games they played before getting hit by the shutdown is amazing. Some really nice gems in there like Aqua playing Bloodborne, Coco Uncharted 1 & 2, Luna & Matsuri playing Granny Simulator, Miko Beat Saber, etc.

Thank you for that site, really.
 
After much wrangling with vichan and failing (seriously, fuck php), I've given up on rolling my own site for now. Luckily, I remembered that jersh also spun up an infinity-chan instance that's running separate from kf's servers, so I took the easy way out and set up a board there.

For now, we can use this for shitposting and off-siting when KF is down. I'm going to continue working on trying to get my own site working for added flexibility and reliability (and I already bought the domain so why not), but 9chan will be a good intermediate step.

As a person who played LA Noire on day one back in 2011, it drives me wild when Watson just walks off from a clue thinking she found everything.

a board seems like the best solution tbh, easy to use and post to, not to mention the anonymity
 
Yeah I really don't think moving shit to Discord is a wise move given current circumstances. IRC wouldn't work for our purposes, either, so an imageboard would be the way to go.

Do we even have any alternatives if the forum goes down again, like it has been for the last 2 months? There arent many places you can talk this freely about chuubas.

-The chans are plagued with drama whores and trannie jannies
-Reddit can go fuck itself
-Discords are a spergatorium

The fediverse. Either use kiwifarms.cc, neckbeard.xyz, absturztau.be, anime.website, glowers.club, blob.cat or set up your own instance. It really doesn't cost that much to spin up a pleroma instance and configure things to your liking. The network is already full of weebs, nips and v-tuber watchers so you'll fit right in.

For things like this, it's better to distribute the risk among a multitude of hosts than have to deal with the burden of being responsible for what some schizo posts. A forum will either become stagnant or get too much bad attention. On the fedi, nobody can ban you except your instance admin.

As demonstrated in the last two pages, a forum will go down the moment your admin gets bored. On the fedi, if your admin fucks off, you can just export your followers and move to another instance and continue to talk to other users as if nothing happened.

The main problem with the fediverse is that the microblogging format isn't good for substantive or interesting discussions. Ideally, nntpchan would be functional right now and we could have truly decentralized shitposting, but currently I think the best move is a small, hyper-focused web forum.

I've never had problems holding discussions on the fedi. Microblogging is a misnomer since the character limit on Pleroma is 5000 by default and you can attach a dozen pictures and files to your post. Superficially, the format is like twitter but not having arbitrary limits is really nice.

The drawbacks compared to a forum is that iron-fisted moderation is impossible as everyone is responsible for what they see, and content is a lot more ephemeral. Old posts are archived forever in the cache of every instance that sees them, but searching through them is near-impossible.

I think anonymous imageboards are a lost cause because it attracts the type of mentally ill faggot with baggage that believes every imageboard should be their ideal version of 4chan. One look at lolcow.farm's v-tuber thread should be enough to see this.

Web forums have near zero discoverability. Kiwifarms is unique for being the only one that gets a perpetual source of free advertising through the power of lolcows. Maybe I'm biased because I would never bother to sign up for one.

Edit:

In other news, Amatsuka Uto (most known for being Ame's 'sister' and for her previous yab involving use of Hololive related metatags in her videos) is the center of attention this week after an "expose" by Japanese Keemstar Narukami for a variety of heinous crimes such as allegedly not paying an artist for their work until they bugged her about it and having a somewhat contentious past life as a member of a group that disbanded due to personal conflicts. There is also an interesting narrative on 5ch that she is secretly a Chinese corporate v-tuber masquerading as an indie but the evidence for this is thin.

Western fans are blissfully unaware of the situation or defend her while japs are divided between those who were already anti because she is perceived as a shameless Hololive leech, those who turned anti after recent events and those who don't care because it's not a big deal.

I wish I had more solid sources for this but I only know about this from reading 5ch and /jp/ threads and watching the Narukami vid. I don't watch her so I have no opinion.

"Everything I Don't Like Is Actually Chinese/Korean" is a tale as old as time among the terminally-online segment of Japanese society, so I'd put this in the schizo bucket. The rest is interesting though and it makes me wonder how much scummy shit is ignored by westoids because we either can't recognize it or because we simply don't believe that Japs can be duplicitous.
