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

ok, watching selen and rosemi's guerilla streams, safe to say I'm not a fan. Rose's constant dolphin squeak sounds so forced, like she's laughing that way on purpose, and I hate that sound. Selen, is ok, I just don't find myself wanting to listen to the nasally voice for too long. I'm holding out hope for the penguin, too bad she didn't do a follow up stream.

I have an archive of the stream too but I guess someone beat me to uploading it. I don't think I can upload it as an attachment since it's 1.6GB and I dunno how kindly Null would take to a special request to archive an anime girl doing a knockoff of MATI but if it's absolutely necessary I can try using MEGA or making a torrent for it.

The overreaction seems severe but I don't really blame Phase Connect management for getting mad. It might be difficult for Kiwi Farms regulars to realize but airing out personal-detail filled drama about to what is to most of the internet an obscure Facebook group including the subject's first and last name with it including a (blurry) image is way over-the-line for most normal people. There's a reason Null has to host all of this shit by himself and face DDOS attacks and (in the past) real life harassment.

In the ideal world she can hash out with TPTB about what she can and cannot do and let this sort of stuff cool off for a little bit, and come back to something like this but with a little more control. Something clear like "don't get into someone's personal life" that is limited and specific. I see no reason that she couldn't do this sort of stuff but she would have to take some more time to edit it down. Knudsen and Internet Historian wouldn't put the audio logs or real names of the people involved in something like this unless they were already somewhat public or were in noncontroversial/normal situations.

Phase Connect is a newborn company that would have faced controversy at some point or another because that is just the nature of the business. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for a little longer and hopefully they can remedy their overreach / communication problems. I don't know about PCs internal communications and I hate when anything bad happens people think the sky is falling.

(I also agree with a lot of people here in that this is mismanagement, but I want to be a little more fair to a side that people here haven't been giving much credence to.)
 
Baqua, Aki, Pekora, and Korone finally returned for hologra. Also Kanata's gorilla strength is now Hologra canon

Edit:
Looked like this btw:

Really curious what the hell that background video was though...
I looked at it frame by frame and my brain computed it as some human figures dancing while...being burned? I know the Adidas Lion is based, but not this kind of based

Autistic but you have points. Alot of Pippa's rant are more suited for membership stuff honestly. As entertaining as she is, I do think she is almost without brakes, which can lead to getting crashed and bonked. It's fine if she is an indie but the problem is that she's not alone as she is Pippa of Phase Connect, a startup vtuber company.
 
"but why do they have her if they don't like her"

You do sound like a huge faggot, but it is good to have a take from another perspective, supported with arguments. Pippa did what she did, but until now her managers were kinda chill - I have assumed they are okay with a wild card in their group and attention she received (I literally don't know any other Phase Connect talents). The rude awakening happened today, hence everyone's disappointment.

Matuli...

If cover ever wants to have a grand opening on Twitch, they only need to bring back swimsuits and do hot tub streams.
 
People talking about DJ holos, well... A-Chan and Polka do DJ. The first even teaching it sometimes, and had her own spotlight some months ago, and Clussy was on Sussy's band that one time.

A LOT of stuff people ask "why don't they" "but they could" "why don't they show" we already have. You just aren't looking well enough, or are just thinking your brilliant idea is the golden goose that secretly everyone is chasing, but they don't know about. Entertainment isn't that easy or simple lads.

Also, people thinking how Hololive should manage their thing is hilarious since not only you are a filthy gaijin thinking you know how the glorious nihongo business works, but they are doing fine as they are. They have a shitload of works behind scenes that come later to us in all kind of ways (from concerts, to radio shows, to conventions and TV guests, mangas, animes, music videos, etc, etc, etc; all fucking impressive since they are really small) Yeah, all it needs to happen is a single spark and the whole thing will burst in flames, but as time goes, that seems quite unlikely. Don't let the numbershitters infest the room, we already have to deal with the Nijifolk trying to be relevant at any little chance. Way too much noise in the house.

I get some people got angery, but is it really that hard to get why Pippa has been warned? Are you that far gone buddy? Please get a grip on how our piggy society works. Everything she was doing was burning bridges left and right, and as part of a group, you gotta think of everyone in it; I know you want your ebin "based" rabbit, but if that's hurting her business (and herself for that matter, but that's going on a deep discussion with all kinds of tangents I have no interest in having) she had to stop. As bad as this is for her fans, working on the limits of your character can improve and bring out the best of your creativity. It isn't for all, of course (see the cocock and chamers) but she is barely starting. And mate, the whole "but why do they have her if they don't like her" we have no idea how their group worked, they may not know how she really was; their goals may change as they go as well. Most importantly, she herself said to not talk shit about their management, you *always* believe your oshii. Be a fucking trooper and stop making her feel bad, because she may think she hurt the whole by being selfish (or "selfish"; I don't want that conversation). There are so many perspectives to be had.

And yeah, I sound like a HUGE faggot, but that's me triggering those same people that made me lose it for a bit. Shitposting is cathartic sometimes. Have a deliciously toasted festival; oh, Holosummer... home... Can't we just become a massive collective being of meat and need that only ever exist to constantly moan about the loss of such nectar for our pig disgusting eyeholes? That way our desire may be heard by the one holding it hostage, the one covering the sun, the one we need to kill...

>Polka knows how to DJ

Iirc that was just a joke because they covered a band song and they just wanted to act as if they were in an actual band. They never really played any instruments during the concert
 
Safe to say I'm really happy with OBSYDIA.

Rosemi is probably going to need more time to get comfortable as she seemed to laugh a lot to fill in time. That's a common thing (oh how quickly we forget Nene's 'haaaaah~n' debut), so I'm not too concerned. Given how many times she's been through this debut and graduation schtick, though, I'm shocked she's nervous at all. She has more experience than most.

It's pointless to talk about the specifics because we already know and can freely talk about her past life. We know Rosemi is going to be a rage gamer, we know she's going to play fighting games and Minecraft, and we can probably anticipate Yandere ASMR streams.

Same for Selen. We know she's a monster at FPS games and her polarising laugh. I really like the overwhelmingly smug, stereotypical female highschool bully voice she has and it really fits the character too.

Her chat interaction was top notch. To be able to keep jumping from topic to topic for 2 and a half hours isn't super easy, and engaging with such a busy chat for so long isn't something most do.

It was based of her to say that she's not doing any JP APEX collabs until she can speak Japanese because the communication in those types of streams is pretty cringe.

I think anyone sperging out about their management in their chat, on their discord, or in their Twitter replies is going too far. However, regardless of the fact that I like Pippa, if I think her management is being retarded, I'm not going to hold back from saying it on Kiwi Farms of all places. We are not responsible for her feelings.

That said, I do understand the predicament having a loose cannon like Pippa puts a fresh company like Phase Connect in. If they can find a middle ground that keeps everyone happy, then I don't have a problem with that, even if it means no more content like the Build-A-Bear stream. I do hope that they can settle into this middle ground without ruining her appeal.

As entertaining as she is, I do think she is almost without brakes, which can lead to getting crashed and bonked.
She's always been this way, for better or worse. She's loudmouthed, impulsive, speaks without a filter, and tends to do things first and think of the consequences later. But that's why I like to watch her.
 
It seems the Hololive gift issue is related to tracking device.

Timeline here
Pekora mentioned the gift problem is because of a kind of little and round , use for finding keys or wallet thing is getting on sell. If someone put that into gift to find member's house will be yabai

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things.
 
I clipped the part of Botan's stream, in case anyone knows what the background or music is from. Personally, it feels like something out of Siren or something but reverse image searching it doesn't really bring anything relevant up.



According to fan Discord, someone mentioned that it's from her Resident Evil stream with Lamy?

I was on my way to do this myself to edit my original post since I was on mobile and off wi-fi when I took the screenshots and didn't want to waste phone data when I just started the new billing cycle, so much appreciated. In case it wasn't made clear, Botan didn't edit this out because of the visuals, it was just cuz the music was too loud.

Huh, interesting. Good move on Cover side then, being proactive for once. I bet the logistic and manpower discussion from earlier make the decision much easier too.
Found another one just talking about it. From the Friend herself.
TLDW : Purely security reason. The detail is still being discussed by management, but for now everything but letter are prohibited, but there might be change to allow some specific things in the future.

In addition, Rushia also got a new outfit.
I actually really like that hairstyle on her, it feels like a nice medium from her other ones.

Also, please tell me by "specially inflated to match her size" she means the mousepad will just be a normal flat mousepad, just cut to the shape of the oppai ones. If that's what it is, I actually might fork over the jp shipping cost to buy one, cause that's fucking hilarious.
 
Dont foget Ayame lmao.
I'm so surprise Rushia manage to get Dochi Dochi girl to appear as a guest. Hololive brand power really is strong.
Btw that Ayame girl is with Nijisanji, right? Saw her collab with Toko quite a few time.
