Thanks for the VOD it was good stuff Sk8r boi is my childhood almost as much a pokemon
I'd like to clarify I never described it as a punishment, by the by. I understand it's something they all do. I also concede I didn't know IRyS was only 2 weeks because that was going to be my main concern (honestly, I'm losing track of the days after a year of lockdowns and shit).
So, thank you for your clarification.
Personally, though, I still don't really like it. I understand the necessity of establishing a core audience, but don't necessarily buy that a generation cannibalising their own initial watchers during that one month is really any different to collaborating with another member outside of that generation.
It also isn't sensitive to individual talents, either. For example, we knew exactly what Calli's and Ina's talents were going to be as early as their debut, but it took a whole month before Kiara had the ability to let her talents shine through, which is even more baffling when a recent Hololive interview confirmed that Kiara was hired for her Japanese proficiency.
I don't necessarily believe the rule should be scrapped outright, but I definitely think it could do with being more malleable to unearth people's talents nice and quickly. Maybe something like 'Okay it's 1 month before you can go off and do your own thing, but Kiara can host a quiz show with EN and JP members at the end of the first week to promote you and also show his strong she is at this talent' kind of thing.
Or at least 'You can entire the JP Minecraft server you just can't VC with anyone yet' so people aren't concerned IRyS is going to be punished for something that is pretty inconsequential.
I'd also like to mention this discussion has largely stemmed from a post where I was actually defending Cover, that they wouldn't punish IRyS for something so meaningless. Just in case people are thinking otherwise again.
just to add, Luller's right about it being the individual talents trying to stand on their own two feet. Even collabing with their genmates have brought out the shit in some "fans", especially if their genmate is more successful. Best example is Coco. If I'm not mistaken, Kanata and Watame were said to be leeching off Coco. It did a good number of both of them because they felt like they had impostor syndrome (I think). Now imagine how much worse it could be if they could collab with their seniors from the get go whom, depending who we choose, have higher sub counts. The pure shit flinging as monkeys about trying to leech viewers would be much worse I feel.
Null already did that once, only got it back thanks to @moments fade pain remains explaining why the thread exists and why we go full monke over 2D avatars lol
We know he simps Noel, but we keep it a open secret so he doesnt get mad at us
I know a yellow band means fall risk but what does a red one mean?
I'm not really following anything on Kiwi Farms besides this thread and some others in Multimedia, but from I have seen (Josh allowing "our animu girl funeral" before he started testing some things on the website, as well as mentioning us in his statement about that guy's supposed suicide) he kind of warmed up to us, or at least this was my impression. Did he express any concern/bemusement/vitriol directly about this thread?
Been there, done that. It was... something.
He should simp Pippa, he'd unironically love her and her glorious bullshit.
I see Josh liking Towa, Ayame, or Aqua
Parasocial relationships work both ways. Not just watame but I hope everyone can have relationships off line and not rely entirely on online interactions for their validation even if it is their job.
Ngl that's pretty badass.
Long time sheep fan, she is the other side of it and so is Miko. They unironically love their chat, they don't like being away from us. Makes sense considering how few friends they used to have, a massive audience of people supporting and caring this hard is hard to not attach to. Still, she seems fine and things stay healthy enough.
Fat girls eating only does so much for him now.
Absolutely fucking insane. To give you a picture, this thread has the 3rd biggest number of posts in this forum but this thread also has the biggest post growth per month of all time.
Well, if he just took the Pippa Pill he'd be happier and chill. I mean Pippa already knows Kiwi fucking Farms loves her, this is just the next step.
Yeah I remember mentioning some stuff along these lines a little while ago. There are threads with more pages and what not but as you say that have been going for YEARS to get to where they are today. I remember when Coco Grad was happening, there was 20+ pages for just that 2 hour event alone and the great leader even came to say we was out performing the twitter shitstorm thread going at the time which was on the frontpage for all to see.
I imagine it be real fucking funny, if it even did happen by some stretch of the imagination, that he would become her biggest fan and falls proper deep into the rabbit hole. Something about that amuses me greatly.
I'm conflicted on this.
lolno.
My googling is ending up in mixed signals, but it refers to specific kinds of medication that cannot be mismatched, seemingly.
The Wu, MovieBob and Chris-Chan updates threads are years older and active every single day, and this one beat them in page numbers. As I said before, we talk a lot lol!
