Gigguk has also mentioned issues with it on the Trash podcast so wouldn't be surprised, Japanese ISP's are a total nightmare when it comes to actually getting what you're supposed to get in terms of consistent speed and calling them up leads nowhere unless you're willing to ask to speak to someone 4 levels of middle management above the call center worker which can only be done on a Tuesday during a full moon.

I love the way Kronii's stream is legitimately 0.5 fps with a black screen and Fauna's stream still has 6 times the dislikes (not that its related its just passive hate dislikes anyway)

She needs to get her first payday and invest in some equipment. The game itself seems fine though, it is just the avatars, so is it something with the phone app? I thought the phones were about the only equipment that Cover handed out.

I remember the one you're talking about and it seems like she deleted it. I think it was on July 17th because I posted this:

The two listed Mabinogi streams on YouTube are the only ones I have saved, and nothing is jumping out at me.
The only saved Animal Jam that I have is the truncated clip, so the full version is the best bet so far.
:thinking:

Speaking of Yuni/Pippa.
Did she delete the post BaB stream? You know, the really painful one where she was forced to act idoru and seiso for almost 2 fucking hours, presumably after being bonked hard by management?
Which ironically had the opposite intended effect and it just pissed her audience off? I remember a lot of people -myself included- leaving the discord in disgust at what they had done to the schizo rabbit

Which incidentally was followed by the clip Godzilla posted, went to show their support and threw dozens upon dozens of subs at her, and call me schizo, but it feels that after this incident fishman became more lenient with the EN girls, they exploded right after Pippa and Tenma were given a semi-blank cheque.

It should be right after the "Cutest Rabbit keeps you company"
I clearly remember because the BaB incident also forced her to private the other shitpost shorts for a few days.

Yeah, you aren't insane. The post-bonk stream did happen, and yes, it was deleted. The game she was playing during it, if I remember right, was Mabinogi, and chat was criticizing management throughout the whole thing. /pcg/'s dedicated Pippa archiver has said that he has a copy of it, but that he's very reluctant to ever share it due to just how sad and miserable it was to watch.

We also have a few pages of reactions to it here on the Farms, as Tor Lugosi pointed out. You even posted about it.

I hope that 'talking negatively' doesn't include criticism, because I have a bit to say about this. I'll try to respect Pippa's wishes and not be too harsh on management.

Her being wrangled this hard baffles me. I'm now under the assumption that Phase Connect management doesn't understand what Pippa's appeal is. It would be one thing if she decided to tone things down on her own terms, but that really doesn't appear to be the case at all.

My main confusion is this: Why are they now wrangling her so hard over this? I would understand if she was only told she couldn't do any more streams similar to the BaB one out of precaution, since it could be argued that it violated YouTube's overbearing and stupid 'Bullying and Harassment Guidelines'. But the thing is, they're taking even more steps further than just that. As pointed out earlier in the thread, she didn't even know if she was allowed to say the word "church" anymore. They've privated a couple of her streams/videos, and they've even taken away her Ram Ranch privileges. As Pippa said, management wants her to be more 'seiso' and 'positive' now.

This is incredibly dumb.
Motherfuckers, if you want Pippa to be 'seiso', then you shouldn't have let her openly talk to fucking 4chan and cultivate an audience of anons and Kiwis in the first place.
If their goal was to have a somewhat generic seiso VTuber who is severely limited on what they can say and do, then they really should've just done that from the beginning. But nope, they've decided to nerf her now after she's already gotten a following. What's the point in advertising on 4chan and cultivating a viewerbase of anons if you're just going to nerf the talent after a certain period of time anyways?

One of Pippa's main appeals was the fact that she spoke her mind freely and was barely wrangled at all. She talked about all sorts of "yabai" things (people, sites, things, etc.) all the time on stream, and seemingly had no filter. She was basically allowed to just be herself. What does management expect her fans to do when they take away one of her main hooks? Do they really expect no pushback? What is the point of limiting her so harshly over one stream potentially 'crossing the line'?

Pippa, if you're reading this, none of this is your fault, and we will continue to support you. All of us here hope that management realizes their mistake and lets you regain your freedom, or at the very least that you and them reach a compromise that is good for both parties.

Also, if anyone has an archive of the BaB stream, please post it. I wasn't joking about potentially collecting information about the community for a thread. That stream is the best collection of information about the community that exists so far, and it would genuinely suck if it was lost forever. Update: An archive of the BaB stream has been found.

Edit: It's more than just a couple things that are gone. Here is a list of VODs/videos that are gone, courtesy of /pcg/. I've double checked and made sure they are right.
-"Cutest Rabbit's Final Fantasy" (FF14 Stream)
-"sodium fluoride" (Shitpost)
-"Cutest Rabbit Plays Darkwood"
-"Cutest Rabbit's Fantasy Anime Life" (Mabinogi Stream)
-"Cutest Rabbit Keeps You Company" (BaB incident)
might be more. tell me if i'm missing anything, and I'll update this.

Here are the remaining uploads:

You get used to people's entire opinion on Ayame being based on /vt/ hot takes, no stream memes and clippers finding random Ayame noises which is understandable since a lot of her content is mostly inaccessible if you don't understand at least some conversational Japanese. But because I was actually curious how different their output is I went a little autist and checked their content from the last month.
Public
3rd anniversary stream, 3rd anniversary SC + chatting stream, Ringfit stream, EDF stream with Fubuki + Mio + Watame, karaoke + chat stream

Member only
Karaoke + chat stream, chatting stream

Other channels (feel like I'm missing something from here but my brain is smoothing out and I've spent too long being a sperg about my oshi making this post already)
Noel's 3D livestream, Cinderella Switch VR concert also with Noel, stream on Mio's channel with Fubuki

Not including the 3-5 dance lessons per week, preparing for her 3D live on 10/2, recording for HoloGra/"some other project" a few HoloJP have mentioned working on, work she does outside Holo (JP fan rrat is that it's for her family's company but no confirmation exists yet that I know of.)
I don't think she has any private member only content but I could be wrong.

Public
That outfit stream as Hime, 3 Sydsnap channel videos

Presumably also recording more Sydsnap videos, maybe working on Vshojo content and probably some content with the Trash Taste people.
Totally comparable.

Now shower me with autistic awards(:_(
