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

she wants to use Mildom for most of the streams, and YouTube for her main content

She tweeted as KSON that "YouTube is not willing to help with the chat harassment" and she will be streaming on Mildom (or other platform) instead, if I understood these correctly.

Gigguk isn't the worst, and is a fairly stomachable anituber, which is saying a lot. He just has a tendency to be really cringey when he's not working with a script.

I never watched Gigguk live (except clips of Mori collab), but I find some of his scripted videos actually entertaining. He is very careful not to give any strong opinions most of the time, but knowing the weebdom it's probably for the best. He is the only anituber I can watch without much cringe, but the others I tried to watch were Mother's Basement (2woke4me and just plain boring) and DigiBro (absolutely disgusting, and it was even before I read the first post in the topic about him here on Kiwi Farms), so not much competition.

As much as people shit talk traditional education, the idea of learning a hard foreign language only by exposure (when you are older than 7) is a meme. Especially when you consider that for Japanese you need to learn the fucking Kanji to read. And that takes a shitload of time. There are lots of people who spent decades living in the US and can barely string one sentence or two in a heavy accent.

Most formal intensive courses I know in foreign langauge training are 3 years, with +10 hours a week of classwork. Japanese ones are known for longer hours and lots of extra homework due to the Kanji problem

Pretty much this. You can (and should) expand your language skills by exposure, but as long as you are not a small child or a langauge learning prodigy, you need to learn some basis from a teacher/textbook/YT tutorial and so on (classes and/or tutor are of course the best for most people, and don't you ever dare to think that an app like Duolingo or Busuu is enough). But being exposed to a language first and then learning the grammar etc. will speed up the process.

It always came across as intentional to me, she does it fairly frequently.

I have checked the tweets liked by Matsuri and found something even more horrifying:

she liked a tweet by Lyger

Ah, Marine..
It's been a long time since any of the girls got demonetized. Hope it stays that way.

I'm so happy Nene found her stride, at one point i felt she'd lag behind since all her genmates have a big obvious draw (Polka is a one girl circus, Botan has the russians, and Lamy has alcohol), but she's really made herself noticeable in the best way; her way :heart-full:
It took a while for Gen 5 to grow on me but I really love Botan and Nene.


Gura is collabing with her catmom, can her mom even speak English
This will be a mess. That said I tend to like streams where there is a language barrier.

On Gigguk: People hate him because he has the most painfully normie takes on anime and Japanese pop culture, which he then packages up in a smug English accent to sound authoritative. He's a grifter but worse than that, (and may Allah forgive me for uttering this) he's an anglo.
He's fine. Atleast the content on his youtube.

I personally have a deep loathing towards expats that don't even learn the language of their host country. It's the shit that pisses me off the most about Mori as well.
Though I admit it's fairly interesting comparing their views to Kiara's who has had very different approaches to living in Japan.
Its not easy to pick up a language naturally just by being exposed to it. Yes you can learn a few words and phrases to get by but in no way will it be conversational-level.

Yes but then you consider that she's been living in Japan for 5 years.
Again, its not easy to just absorb a language especially once you are older. On the other hand you have people like Kiara that learned the language by using google translate.

Excuse my attempt to destroy your last remaining happiness for today, but I came in with an interesting question.

Say an accident happens and a company affiliated vtuber dies in it. What will happen next? How can this be handled properly?
They will probably just make an announcement and retire the account. Not much they can do. I doubt they will get someone else to do the voice as everyone will figure it out instantly. Also they will have to break the news to the other talents which will lead to them commenting on it. If they replace the talent im sure one of the other girls will leak end up leaking the news and fucking everything up for the company.

I'm not saying that formal education isn't important but immersion in the language is literally the most important part if you want to get actually fluent, especially for conversations rather than just written text. And from personal experience consuming english media whether books, series or movies did a lot more for my english than the school lessons.
Now obviously they're outliers but as far as I remember neither Ina nor Kiara had formal classes for japanese. I think the dagger did have classes and she's extremely fluent as well.

Yeah and then people like you wonder why they still can't hold a conversation in the language
 
The impression I get is that a lot of Japanese "English" teachers, especially in the public school system, aren't actually that good at English, especially pronunciation. So unless you were exposed to a lot of actual spoken English, like Suisei was with her mom listening to a lot of American music iirc, you're probably still mentally locked into the consonant/vowel pairs that make up most of the building blocks of Japanese but which English deviates from all the time.
 
I've had it with those red cocksuckers.
So in other news someone found old WoD video where our favorite wigger appears.
Who? This shit is like two hours long and the dude's voice sucks.

Ah, Marine..

Youtube is dumb as shit with checking out non english content and they're probably more friendly to Cover now since they're making them a ton of money with the superchats, but I'm just talking out of my own volition.
 
Coco is the strongest Idol to ever exist in the industry. and her leaving going to start the Golden Age of Vtuber.
The Golden Age of Vtubers has ended with the Aloe Graduation Incident and the launch of HoloEN and Vshojo.

Depends on if she collabed with an anituber or a twitch whore. Death before dishonor.
