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

Please tell me she's gonna choose Randy.
I firmly maintain if you're not playing with Randy, you aren't playing Rimworld.

Risu and Oga released their covers of Daddy Daddy do. Both use the same arrangement, a jazzy chill cover of the song. They just trade who is the primary and secondary vocalist. Both are pretty damn good.

Speaking of Risu, it is her birthday and she has a t-shirt.
 
I mentioned this guy before but I swear the more I see him the more I feel like the western vtuber community is just so easily gamed by someone that wants to. He's "preparing for debut" but all he does is post basic reddit memes with "vtubers" slapped on it and already has over 1k followers.

Fixed it for him

Anya and Ollie are answering love problems on stream by using Otome games as a point of reference. One guy sent a marshmellow talking about how he's been simping hard for one JP Vtuber, so much so that he's been RTing that Vtuber a lot, clipping them, and sometimes they even answer his tweets. Until one day, he got more and more invested in watching Anya and Ollie. However, the Vtuber he previously simped for said something like "please stay loyal to me". He mentions he was watching other Vtubers and now he feels like the Vtuber he previously simped for is ignoring him

Chat was quick to call out the guy and said he was hallucinating (rightfully so), but interestingly, Anya and Ollie gave their own two cents from a Vtuber perspective. In their opinion, it's weird for the Vtuber to act like that (even so far to classify her as a menhera woman), but they also mention how indie Vtubers love their audiences and cherish every single supporter.

Honestly, i think both the dude and the Vtuber he simped for is pretty stupid, but more so the dude. Especially since it's highly likely that he's deluding himself into thinking the Vtuber is ignoring him intentionally
Throw attention at a performer and expect personal attention in return? Sounds almost like Russell Greer to be honest.

The whole Uto drama seems overblown as fuck, you could tell from the 'line tweets/convo' that the artist is a fucking loser. The problem is Uto has no agency to shield her from this worthless ''drama'' and she sounds like a 16 year old kid that has probably no clue how to deal with fame and the haters that come with it.
I don't know if this is old news, but I found Cover's Wantedly page and found that they have 111 employees. Note sure how up to date that info is, but I assume that it's somewhat recent given that they reference Fubuki having one million subs, meaning the page has been updated within the last two months. It's still a bit surprising seeing that 46% of their employees are the anime talents. That leaves 59 employees that work behind the scenes.
we discussed Cover 1 or 2 weeks ago and the consensus is they're understaffed
Botan hyping and teasing hard.
Who's the nigga that makes em 3D Bingo? Those are fun to have while watching

Anyone else get this recommended to them via the YT Algorithm?
Everything is posted 'a week ago,' so I'm betting it it is a rehashing of some earlier account. Though, I hadn't seen their -supposed- Haachama video or that Ina graduation. Now, I know I'm not a deep delver, but where did they find a grad clip when the best that was had months ago was a rando picture at a museum?

This will unfortunately keep happening until youtube uses content ID on these clips, which is to say "quite a while". Considering they have a discord they're probably going to keep at it for clout and attention. Interestingly nobody's ever made an attempt at Suisei, I wonder if they just don't bother or her opsec is actually good. Also correct me if I'm wrong but that Haachama video doesn't sound like her at all.

Yeah, these "Forbidden Knowledge" guys are advertising their shit everywhere. They've gotten at least two servers shut down so far, but they've apparently not learned their damn lesson. So now Watson has joined their server and this guy is so dumb as to advertise it on Youtube. They are practically begging for a Discord IP perma-ban. They want clout, not conversation. Otherwise, they'd be a hell of a lot more circumspect.
 
Youtube recommended me what seems to be rushias roommate

The comments to the video about sachi joining the server imply that it's not actually her and they were trolled.

Korone is cuter than the one still of her I'd seen before.

Unlike the Senzawa archive channels, they're not content to leave it implied, basically blatantly advertising it wherever they can. It seems they've finally drawn attention from a higher power - I wonder what that means for them? Not good things, surely. I doubt Amelia herself is going to dox them back or anything of the sort, even if their opsec is probably all over the place. Even if it's the only real way to stop them, short of youtube actually doing their job for once.

Edit: In light of the fact that it was fake and they are total fucking idiots, I'm going to optimistically declare it's a matter of time before they get a taste of their own medicine, or someone else's.

Fake and gay. Those dudes are certainly retarded not only to fall for the bait, but advertise it as well.

That video is recommended to me every other day and I'd bet it's her. The name matches up with the instagram account, most of the more credible imagery presented, and of course the voice.

Personally, I key in on physical movement; some things kind of pass through the avatar and it sticks in the back of the head. I mostly notice it from Aqua who always seems to move like her hands are glued to the chair like a balancing act (see her new 3d stream).

The Haachama thing. . . shaky. But given that she is wearing what seems to be a Japanese school uniform, she's got to be very young in that video I'd wager.
Interestingly nobody's ever made an attempt at Suisei.
Could be the case that her opsec is that good like you said. But on the other hand, it might be because she is the one who kind of kept an ongoing career that flowed into Hololive. Half of the past life talk is about where these people came from before the company. . . well she was Suisei before the company. Before that? Random Highschool and/or College girl with talent who didn't focus a ton on the media aspect until her Suisei persona?

Oddly enough, she's the one I want to know the most about at the risk of sounding like a total fuckhead. That voice and stage presence is definitely something. If she moves on from Hololive for bigger and better things, I'd definitely want to know where she ends up.

If it is a fake-out, then I'll be laughing my ass off.

Scroll up a couple of days and you'll see vids I linked of Rushia from one of these Forbidden Knowledge toolboxes. (They may be dumb clout-chasers but at least they've put up some of the goods for us to have easy access to.) On second thought, I'll just link some stuff here and embed it below 'cause I'm pretty sure this is her:

So, I've seen some of her floating around as Rushia, too, but I doubt it. If you look at the vid MidnightSto posted, her eye shape is identical to the video I embedded above.

Also, a caveat to keep in mind: women getting plastic surgery in Japan is more widespread than you'd expect. It's probably not as high as South Korea (which is something ridiculous like 60% or 70% of all women) but it is pretty common. So, depending on when footage or photos date from, the same person could be in them, just pre-and-post plastic surgery. Also, Japanese photo booths and apps often have all kinds of filters and automatic effects that make you look younger (Korone looks early-to-mid 30s in some of her old Miyasuke streams from NicoNico but some recent photos from Miyasuke's Twitter make her look early-to-mid 20s).
 
What a odd choice, but looks like a potential source of lulz like Seth review, i hope we get a step closer of making someone of Hololive play Factorio
Factorio or Satisfactory, yea. Knowing Amelia's obsession with infrastructure I'm honestly a bit scared at the time she would sink in either of them.
 
Go for it, I have read all of Salte's posts about Calli/Dice and don't hold anything against him.
Most of my stuff about Calli is just conclusions based on the shit she's said about her past in various streams and Dice music, now-deleted streams and hard-to-find podcasts. Aside from providing evidence from things I've gleaned from talking with other friends in the know I just provide my opinions on why all the shit she's gone through makes her endearing. If you think it makes her look fucking pathetic and laughable, then it's whatever I don't really care what you think of her, I just try to share info and let people draw their own conclusions. I can sperg about how great I think she is elsewhere.

Speaking of which, I finally found that podcast a buddy shared with me that talks a bit about Karen's past. Bear in mind she's not the only person there, it's 2 hours long, and she doesn't talk much but here ya go. It's audio only so go nuts.

Trust me, they are. It actually pisses me off that if I wanna get any traction on my own stuff that this is the kinda shit I gotta stoop down to as opposed to making real connections with people. Then there was another fucking meltdown like a week ago regarding the concept of seiso. I honestly forget if I posted about it before since the site being down over the weekend fucked with my memory and I've been dealing with other more important shit, but it was about the topic of "seiso" and how indie vtubers should carry their brands.

Pretty sure I know the consensus here regarding the behavior of keeping a brand image clean or just straight up hornyposting all the fucking time, but in terms of building a brand, the only thing I can say about being uninhibited is that it works for comedic purposes only. Let me give the example Marine. Marine is SO MUCH MORE than "horny pirate" yet that's all the casual fans ever fucking see of that woman. She's pretty good at Touhou games, a damn good natural entertainer and an amazing artist, and more importantly, just very blunt and honest with herself and her audience. That's where the horny stuff comes in but it's a disservice to her when people think that's only what she's about. Indies hornyposting with their mutuals is just really difficult for me to watch, especially since I know they don't really act like that outside of Twitter but hey, if it gets you clicks to talk about your fetishes or share commissions you had done of your OC getting fucked then more power to you I guess.

One other note since y'all fuckers seem to like Koopa so much: she was supposed to do a collab with a guy I mentioned before (Kongou) reading a visual novel but came down wit the flu so she had to postpone. If you want a cool indie to watch though then I highly recommend Kongou.
