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

That would be... something. If any popular vtuber starts playing it (or already did?), I hope they won't use any plugins and just start learning naturally. There is this magical moment when letters "c" running around on your screen become cats (lmao 2cat), "d" - dogs and so on, like the code in The Matrix becomes people.
The interface is a pretty huge filter for most people. I doubt Gura would get into it too much. At least not that version. Isn't there some graphical UI version coming out on Steam someday?
 
It is out

I wonder if its me, us, or we just didn't get the memo about the MK Tournament from the JP side

Not just you. There are surprisingly little fanfare about it. Even the participant doesn't promote it on their twitter. I think it's partially drown in all the exciting stuff happen this week, along with them don't want to take the long planned EN+ID thunder.
Towa just tweet it out of nowhere tbh. I did post it here though.

Mariokart collab incoming.

There is definitely some self-criticism there, but I think you're underestimating the "negative roleplay" aspect.
You're so not going to like the new time girl then, that's kinda her bread and butter.

Not even an artwork. Yeah, I think they don't want to make it a too big thing. Maybe to avoid the case of "why isn't xxx in?"
 
Not sure about Mori's new MV.

Don't get me wrong. In terms of lyrics, performance, music, visuals and overall style, she definitely met her usual standard.

No, it's the theme. The whole "I'm abusing you" thing. Part of a pattern that Mori's been leaning into more recently, and some other vtubers I like as well. I'm aware that there's a market for that, and I guess there are good reasons for popular creators to have some negativity toward their fans that they want to express.

But I don't know. Whenever a vtuber starts with the whole, "Tee hee, I'm gonna bully you! I'm gonna torture you! I'm gonna murder you!" thing, I just can't enjoy it. I've tried. It only pisses me off. It's like their expressing contempt for you FOR supporting them. Streamers like Gura and Ina who don't do that create a much better experience for me.

Hey, if you like that kind of thing that's fine. No offense intended. But I don't, and if it keeps getting more popular I might need to limit my vtuber consumption. Move on to something else.

Sorry for the selfish post. Just felt the need to express myself. May delete later.
If you are so thin skin why not stay off the internet.

Don’t worry I got just the right thing to cheer you up

You have a strong opinion about something you didn't research. The song isn't m-baiting. It's the usual Mori's "I hate myself" song. The bully in the song is herself, and she feel that she hurt or used other around her, intentional or not. How she feel like she took advantage of other kindness, someone like Kiara or the chat. And how she hate herself from giving hurtful word and told herself "it's for their own good". It's a self mockery song.
If you got time, the lyric dive of this song start here. It's pretty interesting and you'll find that she's damn passionate about her music creation.
All her chat bully is prompted by chat anyway, and she doesn't make it her main content. Complaining about the few time she do and ignore all the repeated, autistic appreciation she have for her chat is kinda nitpicking on your part. It's like saying Suisei newest song show she is leaning into GFE when she vehemently refuse to even say she love or pretend to kiss her fans.
So you are saying we shouldn't date Mori/Karen?
 
I've been watching Diya's clip here, gotten through her discussion of the first verse, and I've got to say Mori is describing a much more complex emotional situation than I perceived initially just from the song.

Oh there's definitely contempt for the fans here, and I think she is understating that. They're characterized as ants to be stepped on, etc. But it's a contempt rooted in self-contempt.

It makes sense. Let's say I have a low opinion of myself. What does that say about the people who like me? They must be dumb, or deluded, or masochistic to put up with me. So the contempt for others in the song is sort of a roundabout way to express a self-contempt which she knows to be unreasonable.

I still don't like it. If being a fan of someone means being characterized as an abuse victim, even if it's under several layers of metaphor and apologetic lampshading, then people like me can't be fans despite otherwise respecting the content. But there's definitely a lot more too it than I implied in my first post.

Man, so many things about Mori irritate me, but she's just so creatively skilled and so psychologically interesting that I just keep coming back.
 
It's so weird that we can think Korone is a wonderful and magical person with the secret power of granting happiness. Yet, people back in the days of NND bully and shit talked her roommate for not being the young, cute girl they wanted her to be. I can't help but think about this as a long time X-Potato.

Also, it's funny to think the power of nepotism managed to salvage her Vtuber career by basically poaching her from Up8.
 
Heavy conversations going on today. It's time to Nene Post.
She knows what your balls feel like bros!

I'm older than her roommate. I wish I had 1% of her amazing fun/positive energy.
 
Hires Image of our favorite owl is up. Looks like those JP betas are still salty that she had a boyfriend now they dig up more ancient pics of her. A Texas girl, bet Gura would jump in join since she can finally experience those cowboy life for real this time.
Honesty, expecting American based idol to be pure is the first mistake they make.
Oh shit, I followed her other YT channel for bloody years. I loved a cover she did of Sad Machine.
