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

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
So I checked and I don't think we have it summed up in this thread. So, a quick summary:
  1. Taught herself Japanese at a young age through brute forcing conversations over chat programs with native Japanese speakers
  2. Went to Japan and joined an Idol group "Tone Jewel" in 2012.
  3. Got essentially stalked and run out of the group by a guy known as JRCach who would impersonate venue managers and complain about her and tricked the band management to let her go. (documented via this lolcow thread where Keeki herself posted - https://lolcow.farm/pt/res/764.html) [https://archive.vn/1NmHS]
  4. Became a pariah in the industry not only due to this, but also that she gave an interview and was candid about the way the idol industry treated her. A big no no in Japanese culture - https://aramajapan.com/aramaexclusi...-japan-interviews-former-idol-keekihime/7546/
  5. Did some cosplay work over the years but never really made it big. During this time, the JRCach guy spread rumors online that she had gotten to Japan by prostituting herself essentially. Or she 'tricked' a guy to bring her over and then reneged on the deal. (A lot of the hate for Keeki/Kiara in cosplay sites, such as /cgl/ on 4chan, will cite this as their main gripe with her. That she slept her way to 'success')
  6. Tried to get a job at Lufthansa, which by my understanding is a really difficult to land and prestigious job. Failed the medical exam due to long term problems with Fibromyalgia and taking antidepressants - https://www.facebook.com/1839615052...e-new-cosplays-i-did-this-ye/611861545812734/
  7. Sometime during this, took small bit parts based on her cosplay work. Ended up in a 'pseudo' wrestling match where she was lied to about A) it involving men, and B) they would treat her nicely. Proceeded to get manhandled by ugly ass guys in the ring and had one rub his clothed dick all over her face.
  8. Was resigning herself to a life of being a 'normal' worker. Came to Japan one last time on an exclusive, once in a lifetime work visa that cannot be renewed. Many speculate she came as a translator during the Olympics. She also seemingly was trying hard one last time to get picked up by a major company as full time cosplayer. Of course, this got COMPLETELY derailed by COVID.
  9. We are now here. She's now the successful vTuber Takanashi Kiara, but the past 8-9 years of being completely shit on by every opportunity she's had has definitely caused her to be defeatist. It was much more prevalent in the early streams (you could tell she was in the Idol industry "Last place = loser/gets fired" mentality.) But she's getting better as time goes on.



Holo-EN and absolutely atrocious sleep schedules, name a more iconic duo.
Fucking wow that is some real bullshit im glad hololive was able to save her like that

Karen is still recovering from her breast reduction surgery. Give her some time.
Didn't that collab get shut down? I recall her saying she turned down the collab with Callie. Though I feel like it was saving face for Cover potentially shutting it down after Vei's clips got out.
 
Seen a tweet that documented large swaths of K-pop fans and celebrity fangirls getting off their obssession trains after getting on anti-psychotic medication. Makes me wonder if the Vtuber fandom would massively shrink if that happened too. Like this lyger dude.
Anti-psychotics have a variety of effects; and yes it is prescribed in serious cases of OCD (think biting nails off and not being able to be leave the house out without locking it 100 times) alongside anti-depressants. So your assertion might not be totally off. It has more or less a doping effect though, so it's used until the person becomes functional again. (btw just because you take anti-psychotics doesn't mean one is psychotic. Drugs generally have several uses. Although with kpop fans... you never know)

I didn't imply that they are. Calling Vtuber fans psychotic would be pretty rich coming from me. Maybe Null could say that.
 
dayum nigga

The Lufthansa part was totally unknown to me and a really funny coincidence: Keeki went to the audition for the job the same year and month as I did. She might've been there with me. We were about 20 so I can't recall everyone's face, also I was talking with this one chick from the beginning so I wasn't paying much attention to the others (goddamn she was a 10/10, totally didn't get her number coz I failed and got big sad).
These auditions are quite hard to pass and include a psychiatrist talk (since that lunatic pilot from Germanwings). This job for someone like Keeki is the SHIT. You work hard but get a LOT of free time and mega-cheap tickets to anywhere. You can travel to Japan easy like 10 times a year if you really want to.
Basically: If she had kept her mouth shut about her undocumented medicine she would be still working there. Yes, even with the pandemic coz Lufthansa FA's were of the lucky few that kept their jobs. Of course that would meant no chicken.

btw I got a job at another german airline but GG'd out coz fuck covid

Also that wrestling video gets me everytime

Imagine there's a whole different timeline where the chicken got the job instead and we got someone else as Kiara. Would EN be different than what we have now
Also, sorry about what happened with your job. Fucking pandemic ruins everything
Some of them might be genuinely unhinged (like lyger), but this is a whole new level of dedication from the gachikois

Honestly didn't expect it'll be that big. You ordered them bruv?
Is it just me or did her neck looks hideously long?

Brilliant. Fucking urinal cakes so chuuba fans can finally pee on their oshis.

Spacha readings, giving fans homework to review on stream and extremely rare member inclusive gameplay is fun and all but this could be broadened way more.
Watson's done or already doing most of these. Her SC readings double as hours-long music streaming sessions, she used to give out "teammate homework" in her channel's community posts and as for member inclusive gameplay, I'd count that one instance when she and Gura collabed on APEX and she openly invited shrimps & teammates to join and protect them:



People still use that?
It's a great way to beat somebody without leaving tell-tale bruises.

Don't you even dare to joke about that.
The rumour is thursday, which could fit in "Hangout & Relax", though we haven't actually gotten confirmation of it happening yet, just implications of an exciting pink-haired vtuber collab.

But would it not say that it will be collab with Mori if it wasn't moved?

Right but the collab hasn't been officially announced, and schedule updates happen all the time, especially with collabs as they're sometimes put together that day.

Who cares. They have no class. Everything would be smooth if Vei either kept her mouth shut or put up some excuse like I was young and stupid etc. being immature and battle against 14 years old Twitter autist and pay the price.

Just look at the chicken, she used to be super lefties with trying to virtue signaling during BLM meltdown last year in US and taking side without take a look at herself (she’s literally everything Twitter is against with her red head, model slim figure and white skin Aryan bloodline) on her roommate account. Now she’s in the spotlight again and she at least learn to shut the fuck up and neither denied or confirmed whenever some internet troll brought up the issue on her roommate account. Now she open the chat back on her roommate YouTube account due to probably understand that it’s better to not feed the troll.

I wonder why this mascot in particular, she now has 3 in total. Not counting her emoticon of choice - corn.
Also, this little shit actually seems to have a name - 'Miteiru'. Someone who can into moon might wanna correct me, since it seems to be just a verb denoting looking with scorn or something like that.
