>>324519Nonnie I feel kinda similar, even worse. I had two oshis, one was streaming at a good hour for me while the other wasn't so I was vod gang. But lately I can't even sit and watch their streams for long. I used to watch games I'm interested in and zatsus, then put other streams as bg noise but I haven't really had the need to watch full streams even when it's games I like lately. I just put it on if I come across it. I kinda miss when I was getting food and waiting for my oshi's stream every day kek but I guess the novelty wears off even after being a part of my routine for so long. I used to search for clips from their friends too but now I don't wanna know what anyone's doing with all this drama lol

>>324511My pleasure! I am glad you liked it.
Which reminds me, i was planning on writing a post about Nijisanji not allowing Selen to create her own events anymore, etc, which is extremely unfair. I think I will make sure to post Selen as OP in next thread, she is a lovely dragon after all.
>>324519Ive been feeling that way for over a year now. In the end I got too tired of western drama and cliques surrounding eachother that I usually watch big events or streams of vtubers that are professional and work under a corp, or they are small and drama-free without any wrong "vibe". At a first glance, its tough to find women and men who are not obviously here for the clout and money, but there are good vtubers out there. I sadly feel too worried to mention the indies names in this thread because I don't want their names to be associated with vt or lc (because as you know, vt men pretend that all of the doxxing comes from here).
Outside that, i stick to watching Baelz, Bijou, Miko, Suisei and Advent collabs.

>>324519Not burntout but I'm still suscribed to a few Niji guys even though I haven't watched a full stream in years.
They can be fun in clips still but I just don't feel like watching hours of Minecraft or Apex or whatever random grinding game/dumb indie horror they tend to play.
No. 324607
>>324519Tbh that was me a few months ago, but I watch more than I used to ever since Advent debuted. I know that FWMC have been… controversial here, to say the least, but the level fo kayfabe they bring to the Western vtubing scene + their commitment to idol culture + general consitency have really reinvigorated my motivation to watch a vtuber. It's a low bar nowadays, but they're relisble, and I can count on them to continue delivering a positive and reliable time.
And just generally speaking, it's a good time to be a Hololive fan. I'd consider it one of the few areas of Western vtubing that are doing alright nowadays. Trouble comes in waves, so it's sure to break sooner or later. But right now? It's good.

>>324607Agree with you wholeheartedly.
I enjoy watching FWMC morning streams, they are amazing. The fact how they actually care about their audience and treat Hololive like a job (unlike many of the ENs other than Baelz and Kiara) is something else. I do not like their choices of games so I only watch FWMC karaoke (which are always SO DAMN GOOD. these girls are crazy!?, collabs, mornings and that one Fuwa-solo stream where she played Phasmophobia.
I dont think what they do is a "low bar". They are geniunely putting effort in things they do, even to think about it, they always write scripts for fwmc and make sure that they keep themselves in character on stream and social media. It is quite a dedication. Way better than going the usual "easy route" when a person would try going gfe mode for easy simp money. I am glad they filter out ironic weebs tbf.
Its also refreshing to see en vtubers make sure their viewers are getting better instead of using them as a shoulder to cry on. The "fuwamoco morning outings" alone is a smart way to give someone a habit of going outside and enjoying the day with photography and whatnot.
>>324608I lost respect for him shortly.
Yesterday, vshojo had its Kuro announcement. By the looks of it, he tweeted something on his Mysta account (people were bombarding him with replies). Then 2 minites before kuro debut, he tweeted it on his roommate account.
As long as shit gives him money, he will go anywhere. Wont be surprised if Vesper and Magni join too. Especially Magni.
No. 324611
>>324529i stick to mostly indie streamers on twitch who don't do many collabs if at all, so less chance for drama and random graduations because of black companies. i sub to a few nijisanji and hololive people and i get how it's tiring to watch them especailly since they stick to the same old games like apex, minecraft, or the small list of games the company has obtained permission to stream.
>>324608vshojo is pretty lax about its members. i think hime barely streams because of her other identity and she's still in the company and gets money from merch sales and promotions they do with other companies. from kson's words, her contract also improved after their biggest vtubers left. vshojo can play whatever games they want without having it just be apex so it looks appealing to him that he would join i guess.
No. 324615
>>324611The Hime thing low key pisses me off because she was already a popular AnitUber and clearly did Hime purely for clout. Someone made a model for her only so she could never stream yet still reap the benefits of merchandising.
Maybe it’s also because I already don’t like her other identity much either.

>>324519I actually just got into it (about 2 weeks ago) and pretty much walked into picrel w graduation / drama etc. My first exposure to vtubers was merryweather and shoto (kek) because a few acquaintances I know simp for them, then youtube rec'd me vox (double kek) w algo. On a surface level they were fine, just a few dirty jokes and fujobaiting, but then found them too disgusting to keep watching, esp after reading about them in the threads. So ig I speedran burnout for them.
I still do like the chara design for Vox / what he is like when he's not acting like a coomer (which is him 99% of the time lol), but I guess that's the majority of male vtubers. I do like Ike tho, I like to have him as my bg noise and I like how he doesn't like being parasocial / doesn't pander, just seems like a cute nerdy guy and I find his voice soothing. Even if he's secretly a coomer, he doesn't talk about that stuff on stream which is what matters at the end of the day. I also like Shu for similar reasons.
For female youtubers I really like Kotoka and Selen b/c they don't do that whole loli pandering bs. I can't stand the squeaky voice bullshit, it just makes my ears bleed. Idk who else to watch b/c I'm pretty new to all this, feel free to rec anyone who's not a total degen. I need more based female vtubers on my list.

>>324616This might be controversial here but I don't mind Vox at all. While his content is not my cup of tea, it was a breath of fresh air to have a guy openly pander to his female fans and deliver what they wanted. The inevitable drama was, imho, inevitable, but as far as I've seen from him he doesn't really have a cruel bone in his body when he interacts with his peers. He's gotten better over time too and I hope he can find more comfort being more of a "brotuber".
Nijisanji as a whole has plummeted so hard though… I find it difficult to watch them with the same enthusiasm as I did before, but I've never liked most of Hololive because most of them are idols and I am personally not just an idol enthusiast. For Holostars, I was big into Vesper when he first debuted, but the more he went on, the more I lost respect for him. I enjoyed Bettel a lot, but his shtick grew old for me fast. I want to give Hakka a try, but I think I am suffering from burnout and should just avoid them for now.
I wish I spoke Japanese so I could truly enjoy the JP livers for Niji and Holo, they seem to be less infested with drama. I do still listen to Kanae from NijiJP though because his voice is very soothing.
As for Mysta… I am sort of disappointed that he chose to redebut this quickly, but I don't blame him for leaving Nijisanji. I don't think I'd want to stick around with that company knowing all we know now. He is a mess himself, and while I think he redebuted a little bit too fast, I don't blame him too much. I won't watch him though because his PL seems really vile and he comes off as the average mentally ill coombrained pedo. No thanks.
Thank you for coming to my blogpost.
No. 324713
>>324655Idk much about Vox as a person, but the reason people dislike him is because even though he panders to women he clearly uses it as an excuse to be a coomer.
Even in his ASMR’s he tends to showcase some kind of disturbing fetishes. Such as pretending to do things to the often female coded listener such as slapping them, spitting on them, degrading them , not to mention how so many of his ASMR’s are r*pe/dubcon fantasies. Even in his more wholesome ASMR’s you end up getting stuff like that.
It’s fine to enjoy his content, and idk the guy personally enough to say whether or not he sucks irl. But I mainly dislike him for being a coomer.
No. 324718
>>324619That clip of him going through his “dislikes” is pissing me off. God he seems like such a dickhead about everything. Him talking about how he hates fandoms when he’s obsessed with nagatoro as his “Waifu.”
Maybe I’m just nitpicking
No. 324750
>>324713>>324741I think it's funny that he expected his fans to have a healthy reaction to his shift in focus, too. Like, you really think that healthy women are into the degrading shit you put out?
When it comes to heavy fanservice male vtubers, I think Doppio is the only one I actually find tolerable. He has an actual personality that's not based in coomerism and uses his fanservice like an actual collaborative creative medium between himself and his fans rather than as an outlet for his own fetishes. And he's an actual adult who knows how to take care of himself, so you're not going to see him having a menhera breakdown over infantilization from his fans like a few of the other notable "safe" male vtubers.
Genuinely not trying to shill here as whether he's your taste or not is a different matter, but it's sad how hard it is to find a male vtuber that can provide decent fanservice without making it all about his own gratification.

>>324750I still can’t believe he thought sharing his full ADHD and C-PTSD mental diagnosis to his audience was a good idea to “bring awareness”. Even Mysta of all people made fun of him for that, kek. I get that he recently just entered his 20s, but jesus he always puts his entire brain out there for any onlooker to poke and pick at. I knew he was fucking mental when he got upset about his fans calling him “fat” after he posted a picture of his midsection. They were all saying he had a sexy dadbod and he had a meltdown bad enough to make him get a personal trainer.

>>324769I mean if you want to get real analytical, no, I don't think it's good that he creates content that exploits unhealthy fetishes for financial profit and personal sexual gratification.

Anyways… I've been watching more Hakka lately, I'm surprised at hoe funny he is? He's a great singer, too, I find myself enjoying hid covers along with Axel's more than any other male vtuber.
I feel like I see him talked about the least out of the Tempus boys, which is kind of surprising considering his sub count is comparable to Bettel's. Also did not realize that he shares a mama with Kaida Haru– what a theowback, I used to watch the guy a lot.

>>324826Hakka's really funny and feels like he really appreciates his audience. Since his first OG song I've been keeping up with his covers/songs and he kills it every time. He feels like a real holostar. It's nice to see that such a passionate streamer and singer got accepted into EN, he seems to be giving energy to the others too. Shame I'm not a burger so no EN holostar's schedule is fit for me… If I had time to watch someone else's vods other than my stars oshi Hakka would definitely be my choice.

There my oshi would be Izuru because I absolutely adore his voice and singing skill. His stream time is really good for me but I don't like watching the fiftieth FPS stream of the month kek I do watch his other streams cause I love hearing his voice even without understanding him though. I love Rio's voice a lot too and keep up with his covers and karaoke. From the clips I saw there's something to like about all of them, Shien and Oga would probably be my other oshis if I understood Japanese. At the risk of getting booed, I'll admit I like when men do proper fanservice for women lol

>>324861I agree with you irt the fanservice from the JPstars, I've always felt that Shien in particular does a good job catering to his female fans. Not only with his nice voice but also his past game choices like his series of Twisted Wonderland streams– it was fun watching him genuinely enjoy a joseimuke.
I think Oga is also great for female fans, but it feels less like deliberate fanservice and just him naturally getting along with women? He's fun, respectful, and nice, and I love his gap moe when it comes to things like his cute little drawings and moments of pon. He and Aruran are probably the Stars members I most want as family, along with maybe Axel from Tempus.

>>324850NTA, but I want to shill Rio! He has a soothing voice that is easy to listen to even if you don't really understand Japanese. He's generally pretty wholesome and doesn't do coomerbait content at all (from what I understand) and when he does interact with the other Holostars members in shippy/bantery ways, it's usually in a way that's seen as cute. I like that he puts in the effort to interact with English speaking vtubers (his Fall Guys stream with Hakka is a good example of this) and vtubers from other companies, and that he acknowledges English comments in his chat if they're simple enough.
Of course, his singing voice is also great! Vidrel is one of his more iconic streams where he invited a lot of guests for his 1 year anniversary as a Holostars member to sing with him.

I remember on his personal account as blu he once tweeted asking people to buy him shit like games and figures too on some website. And his frivolous spending is batshit insane it’s pathetic.

But he won’t, because he needs money to blow on Gacha games and things he doesn’t need.

I love this nerdy cute novelist. I get that he's not the most high energy VTuber to watch but out of all the male chuubas he seems like one of the 'normal ones'. Doesn't do the whole "haha seggs joke so funny" shit and other gross stuff that most moid streamers resort to. His character design is also cute, but then again I have a thing for 2d men in glasses kek
I've also been watching Luca and he's my second favorite so far if not liking him as almost as the same level as Ike, he also seems well adjusted and I love the whole goofy golden retriever persona.

Sage for blogposting and my personal complaints. I started vtubing a few weeks ago, and it's 100% just for my own fun. I'm putting time and effort into what I'm making, and doing more than just streaming, so I'm lucky to be gaining a few hundred followers. I only expect this to be a hobby for me. I don't expect this to ever pay my rent. In fact I expect it to be a net financial loss.
That being said, I've seen too many people in the vtubing scene who act like spoilt whiny babies when they only have 100 followers after a year or got rejected from Hololive for the umpteenth time when all they do is the absolute bare minimum. All they do is get a model, then start streaming the same handful of games for a couple of hours every week, then expect the followers to come rolling in.
No advertising themselves, no experimenting with new and unique stuff, no trying to find a niche (like ASMR, language teaching, creating artwork or music, handcams). Just, 'wah wah wah, why won't Hololive hire me, I streamed 200 hours this past year and I draw anime sometimes.'
Of course you 'deserve' to be in Hololive. Everyone and their mom wants to play vidya for a living and be showered in cash and fanart. But you've done nothing new, you don't have good conversational skills or banter, and you'd probably crack under pressure the moment more than 20 people were watching your stream and you started receiving death threats.
(I'm sure there are very good streamers who just haven't picked up momentum yet, but 99% of amateur Vtubers are doing the same, mediocre things. Nonnies who are just vtubing for fun, this isn't directed at you.)

>>326467I used to Vtube for fun too but stopped bcs I was quite tired juggling between work and streaming for a year (it was my fault tho for my bad scheduling). I've been planning to stream again and try being chill with my schedule.
I agree with your points. It's quite funny for me to see them whining about numbers and how they are qualified to be in Vtuber agencies but all they do are involving themselves into dramas, doing controversy takes and baiting people with having big boobas and say lewd things. Tbh I wanna see Vtubers that has the same vibes as Jerma/Vinny Vinesauce and female Vtubers who do otome contents.

>>326474>>326477I could never judge someone who's just doing it for fun, and wish I could see your streams!
At least lewdtubers are providing something (sexual titillation) even though I don't like it. But if all someone is doing is playing flavor of the week games and commenting on it, and wants to make it into Holo/Niji, I feel like they need an exceptionally charismatic personality. Like, people were happy to sit and listen to Vesper talk for an hour about cooking chili, because he was entertaining to listen to.
Too many amateur vtubers are focusing on ~muh lore~ but literally no one cares about how you're a half vampire half succubus from the year 2123 with a magic sword or whatever if you have a dry personality and no life experiences.
If you don't have exceptional people skills and you want to make it as a vtuber, I feel like you need to start honing some other kind of skill, like singing, ASMR, multilingual skills, or making edited videos. Sitting there and playing games on Twitch is the bare minimum.
Anyways /end my 2nd blogpost and RIP to my male acquaintance who has been trying to vtube as a 'career' for like a year now and has less than 200 twitch followers kek.

>>326243I'm gonna sperg.
I'm Korean and IDGAF lol. I've seen a lot of racefakers and disrespectful weebs in my time and they're not that. They're fluent in the language of the culture they love and they're always respectful. They've made it clear on their RM accounts both of their own volition and every time it has come up that they are White. Their speech may be sort of cringe but it mostly reads as them trying to be cute. It's not like they're using incorrect grammar or mispronouncing words in a slapdash approximation of ESL speech. And the age isn't an issue to me because most of my favorite vtubers are of a similar age. What are you going to do next, cancel Korone?
I really did dislike them the most at the beginning. And honestly, I still don't enjoy them in collabs and a lot of their gaming content because it's just not that interesting beyond "cute girls make funny noises". But being as big a fan of Hololive as I am, spending time with them in a zatsu setting or in FWMC morning was bound to turn my stance around on them as people. They're always punctual, always present quality, and have an incredible depth of knowledge stemming from actual decades of passion far beyond most fans any Japanese cultural product. I really do enjoy hearing them sperg about their interests and bring that same enthusaism to their work as vtubers. It's earnest and refreshing.
Not to be accusatory, but I really do think a lot of the hate levied towards them is coming from people who dislike Hololive to begin with and are simply buying into an overblown narrative of their supposed wrongs. Either that or you only watch a couple of the ENs and aren't a fan of Hololive as a whole. It's just too hypocritical to disavow them while still supporting a lot of the other big Hololive names.
The only thing you can really "get" them on is alleged incest baiting, but it's really not that present and the whole thing is just what you'd expect of twins who have based their entire entertainment career off of being twins. If that's someone's issue, that's completely fair and I actually would agree with you in that I plan to dip if it gets worse.
No. 326539
>>326512Ayrt, I can see the points of your argument. They do at least seem like they want to be in Hololive and care about being there unlike some of the talents, so I can see the appeal of that.
The only things I'll add is that their downsides are things I personally can't stand. I only mention their age because of the uwu voice. Maybe some could argue it's their devotion to the role and shows how good performers they are, but I simply can't do with uwu voice. I'm sure their natural voices are lovely and appealing, but I just can't sit there and listen to the garbled uwuspeak. Never met anyone who speaks like that irl.
I also feel like they like/support lolicon culture. Maybe this sounds more like a tinfoil hat, but I'm pretty sure I've seen posts from their past life of them enjoying loli stuff. I know it's prevalent in a lot of anime, but loli is just a personal no-go for me.

I think the nonpreference for their voices is fair, and you're entitled to that. It's up to personal taste, and I do understand what you mean when it comes to some other vtubers. For example, I respect Bijou as a streamer but I can't get behind the actual loli model coupled with a forced child voice on any woman. Same goes for Luna from JP actively infantilizing herself, although I think it's not as bad these days as it was a couple years ago.
I've never really gotten the lolicon vibe from them TBH. They like cute anime girl designs in general, but actively lusting after lolis is a level of degeneracy I just wouldn't be able to get behind.

Anyways, maybe I'm too much of a purist, but I always feel it's kind of sad when vtubers end up in Vshojo. It feels like it's becoming a dumping ground for anyone done with regular corporate life. It also feels a little backstab-y to get fans worked up over your graduation, then resurface a few weeks later. Well, I hope she does well anyways. She seems nice.

I like her, but it reminds me of how Suzuhuara Lulu stated fan stalking as a reason for graduation and then quickly redebuted as a fleshtuber. Hard to blame fans for feeling emotionally twisted around by it.
I think part of the blame does just lie around the traditions of vtuber culture, though. Especially when it comes to corpo graduations.

Of course merry slapped his own face at the forefront of this group but that’s not too important.
Besides that the 3 newly debuted vtubers seem to be making very little noise and getting little traction. The most followers one has is 12k and the two others haven’t broken 10k yet.
Obviously this could change in the future and followers aren’t everything, it should be about enjoying yourself. But Merry has always seemed like the type of creator to care about popularity and views more than anything.

I do not recommend western moids because they are the worlds biggest coomers. The only EN guy that seems okay is Axel in my book, he knows both ENG and JP, and didnt join the corpo just to get closer to their e-celeb crush or any crap like that, unlike some other people.

>>327548Samefag but if you want to watch some deeper voiced EN tubers who have Japanese streams, Shu Yamino and Sonny Brisko do streams in Japanese. I’ve only watched Sonny’s and he usually uses simple to understand Japanese so it’s easy to grasp what he’s saying and pick up new words. He doesn’t bring up gross topics on his streams and makes a point not to, which I like, and isn’t a really loud person and Shu isn’t either. I also agree with nonna’s opinion above with recommending Axel Syrios because he does a lot of Japanese streams and speaks Japanese a good amount throughout his English streams as well. But if you only want JP tubers, Holostars is the way to go.
I’d recommend Axia Krone if his streams still existed because I found the language he used simple to understand even while being N5. There are clips of him that exist out there if that helps you at all.

>>327781i have very mixed feelings about it still and am taking a break from vtubers in gen just to think about it.
my theory is that vesper got hurt in someway, he mentioned having to do physical therapy a lot. So cover said some bullshit to vesper about his work so magni jumped in saying if he goes, im going. so eventually they left. from the JP members, it doesn't sound like them leaving was planned and very abrupt due to ongoing contract negotiations.
so 1, i fucking hate cover because they treat their EN employees like shit. 2, I don't like how vesteas/magmites were treated after graduation. it's probably parasocialandy from me, but when you support a creator and they just give up and not even acknowledge their own work just leaves a bad taste in all the memories.
side note: i'm sure bettel is on his way out unless cover renegotiates his contract so well that he won't want to leave.
No. 327874
>>327872I think you phrased it well about them not acknowledging anything. I initially liked Magni and Vesper a lot when they debuted, but the way they just vanished suddenly leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Especially when Pako had just made new art and Magni was just re-rigged. I guess streamers are human beings first and foremost, but it still sucks.
Even if the person playing the character is fantastic, we're still kind of attached to the character in the way, art and everything. Re-debuts or retirements are bound to happen, but when vtubers just redebut left and right, it takes a way a little bit of the magic for me.

It’s just so smug of them all to think that because they created a fandom, that their faces won’t be considered as fucking ugly as they are, and while some people can wear their fan glasses 24/7, I personally consider it’s of a really bad taste to reveal who the fuck you truly are, like, they’re not voice actors, you can just ignore a voice actor’s face and just know that your favorite character isn’t the voice actor; but Vtubers are literally the character.

It’s sad. With how often she frequents 4chan and even talks about specific memes and says criticism on there is legitimate compared to other platforms (hell, the whole rant was
triggered by a comment on there), it lets us know that she probably sees what people say about her ex-genmates and Nijisanji and how harshly the members get treated on there and finds that “legitimate” and amusing. I don’t think she registers that this makes her look even worse of a person than she already does.

>>330059>she probably sees what people say about her ex-genmates and Nijisanji and how harshly the members get treated on there and finds that “legitimate” and amusingShe actually was bragging about how she could have easily burn the company into the ground, like that didn't make her look shitty.
The fact that she even said all those things about Yuniiho pretty much confirms she has 4chan brainrot, considering that was basically the only place where people theorized Yuniiho gave priority to clients that payed more, and Sayu decided to believe that rumor for some reason and spread a moid rumor about her friend. I still don't understand how they're still viewers that coddle her in her stupid decisions

Personally, I gave Shiori the benefit of the doubt, but she ended up disappointing me with that litfag kayfabe along side her retarded scrote fanbase who unironically call her a femcel kek.

>>330615I prefer Bijou and Fuwamoco.
I love how all 3 actually try really hard to reach new heights. Bijou is always collabing with others, even shows up in holoJP chats, engaging with fans and their content, etc. She really seems like a ruthless business woman, lol. But my favorite part are her and Kaela collabs, they get along so well.
Fuwamoco are doing their own original content, i love their fwmc show, their games are not to my taste, so i watch collabs instead (i enjoyed the Fubuki collab). I love how they also show how much they care about the fans and actually want you to get better and improve, instead of being one of those gfe manipulators or arguing with your fanbase like Kronii and Amelia did (even though in Ame case, i understand. She grew sick of her own fanbase almost 2 years ago. Poor girl).
>ShioriI dont watch Shiori because she is too desperate when it comes to being a schizo/gosling glue, coming off as extremely desperate. On top of that, her interview with Kiara + her past…no thanks.
>NerissaShe is not my type because of coomerism+her trying to gather Kiaras fanbase came off as tacky to me, and some of her other collab choices, too. But i like hearing about her family, its super fun. Admittedly i only prefer watching her play Terraria, she does super well in collabs too. Bless her for opening Terraria server.

I didn't have much faith in her because of the loli voice and design, but she's becoming one of my favorites, it sucks that a lot of scrotes have such a coomer attitude towards her, but otherwise she's very nice.

I'd usually mind the GFE more but she's too goofy for me to take it seriously lol.
Nerissa is probably my least watched, mostly because of the light coomerism and her yuribait. I'm a lesbian but yuribait just really turns me off regardless of the streamer's actual orientation.

I low key wanna give him props for actually doing something that has to do with making a film rather than trying to make “serious” boyfriend asmrs.
However it’s so hard to take him seriously, he clearly wants to be a looked at as a serious film maker. However it’s hard to see him that way when he got his start doing boyfriend asmrs. Honestly it’s hard to see him that way because at the end of the day he’s a damn vtuber.

I tried Shiori for a while but agreed that her fanbase is absolutely the worst one and get upset that gasp, a woman in her twenties who is probably cute IRL has had multiple boyfriends. They're all so hypocritical with their expectations of her and infight all the time, I hate moids so much. They're all insistent on how roasties and pick-mes are sooooo bad all while being so blind that Shiori's entire kayfabe is a quirky pickme who absolutely knows what she is doing. Only sad bit is recently she's realized just how mentally ill said fanbase is and how far they will go (look at Fauna currently…) and she's having to backtrack a bit from wanting to be a cute housewife to insisting they find their own gfs. Stupid Novelite moids.

I started listening to Kiara recently, because I began to see and admire her tryhard energy. Aside from Mori, it seems like she's the only one in Myth who still cares about Hololive and takes it seriously.
I think I was initially filtered by her crazy design and how hard she was trying to keep a cute voice in the beginning. However, I think she talks in a much more normal voice now. Plus, she seems like she's always working on new stream ideas and projects.
I like her girly normie energy. She seems like she'd be fun to go shopping with or travel with.

>>331772IMO it's a similar deal to what's now occurring with Shior
Both women sort of lean into catering for their male fanbases, but that doesn't mean there aren't boundaries to how far they're willing for it to go. But males are genuinely unhinged and will take a mile when you give them an inch, so they end up with insane male fans who go mental over the slightest contamination of their mental images of these women.
I'm not interested in blaming them for how things are, as they both seem like relatively nice and healthy girls whose general fanbases don't deserve what they try to take from them. But people should really learn from/predict this shit happening since it's a tale as old as time when it comes to female streamers.

Actually, who is everybody's favorite from each Hololive English gen? For me:
Myth at debut: Amelia, she just seemed cute and I liked her game choices. Got tired of her content quickly, especially as I really dislike "your mom" jokes.
Currently: Kiara. She really grew on me. I'm not an active viewer of any Myth members, but the consistent effort and passion she has put into her role really won me over. Calli is a close runner up for how much she has grown as a vtuber and contributed to Hololive as a brand. Her music may not be for me, but Hololive is definitely thenplace for her.
Council at debut: Sana, because she was actually friend of a friend in her PL and I was rooting for her to succeed. She brought a certain earnest wholesomeness, and I was sad to see her graduate, but I understand why it didn't work out and think it's for the best.
Currently: Nobody in particularm although I don't hate anybody either. They've been sort of a slowburn gen for me where I like seeing them plug along but don't get super hyped for them. If I had to watch anybody it'd probably be Fauna. Mumei's recent song made me cry.
Advent at debut: FuwaMoco hands down, I love them and still do but I just am not that compelled to watch most of their content. I'm excited to see them go far, though, and their morning show is a nice pick me up for me.
Currently: Surprisingly Shiori, despite her being my least favorite at debut. I just find myself gravitating to her choices in stream content more often then not and she's my most watched Holo member these days. I do not interact with her fanbase, just as I do not interact with vtuber fanbases as a whole, and will continue to practice this aversion based on recent comments in the thread.
Feel free to do for any other branch of Holo as well, I'm just cutting it here because it'll get too long otherwise.

>>331787 following what other Nona said
Myth at debut: Ina, she was the one whose design stranded out the most. Very chill and friendly girl, not a fan of her game choices but I listen to her zatsus from time to time.
Currently: Kiara. Not my oshi by any means by I find it endearing how much she tryhards being an idol, it's nice to see there's still people in this company that just don't do it for the sake of getting their paycheck.
Council at debut: Nobody. I don't hate any of the girls but it took me a while to get an interest in them.
Currently: Mumei. Partially because of her PL and the nostalgia I have for it, when she talked about wanting to join hololive because she wanted to make female friends and her social anxiety I couldn't help but relate to her, it's dumb, sure, but I really treasure her. I also love Fauna, at first I avoided her because of her fanbase but her game choices stood up the most for me… Anyone should try to give her a try, if you look past the gfe asmrs you will find someone with a very intelligent sense of humor.
Advent at debut: Shiori. I thought she'd be a cool addition to hololive because of her husbando taste and her literature choices but it's obvious she doesn't have any idea of what she's saying.
Currently: Nerissa. Perhaps not a lot of people might like her because yeah she's kinda coomerish but I can't help but admire her, she almost cried druing karaoke because of some issues regarding audio. Another idol enjoyer just like Kanata and Kiara!
I could probably go more in-depth with holoJP but I don't want to ruin the thread with my idol/Holo spergout.

>>331803ayrt here it goes
nonnie>Gen 0Suisei and Miko. Originally I avoided Miko's solo content because of her voice but over time I've grown fond of her silly antics, her due with Suisei is so adorable and you can just tell they enjoy hanging out with each other beyond simple business! Suisei started at the bate bottom and I can't help but admire her, she's so funny and always tries to help the girls when they're in a bad place.
>Gen 1Not much was done to foster a group identity tbh.Even so, I could say that my faves are Aki and FBK, I admire the effort Aki has even knowing that her PL is married, unfortunately many of her talents are something that not many would see on stream which is sad because I would seriously love it if more people had her appreciated. Fubuki is a straight-to-the-point entertainer, although her character is a fox girl in her early 20s but her game choices tend to be old games, I usually see her in other holomems' chats.
>Gen 2Aqua-tan! a bit of a gap Moe tbh she's a competition freak with no hesitation to beat others but also a rather socially anxious and clumsy girl, I am so glad she has grown of her cocoon and has decided to interact more with others.
>GAMERSI'm very fond of everyone in this group but I'd say the closest thing to an oshi would be Korine and Mio. Mío has a maternal energy and is always willing to help other girls, I usually try catching up with her morning Mío streams; Korine is a ball of sunshine and I don't usually need to pay a lot of attention to what she's doing since her commentary is quite good.
>Gen 4My personal favorite generation! I'd say most of the members are pretty charismatic and offer a lot of funny moments even with the departure of Rushia. I did use to sort of cling to her because I thought she was just playing a character and the whole menhera thing was just a schtick kek. My oshi is Marine, I know a lot of peeps might have a negative outlook of her because clippers don't usually give justice to her content, she's someone whose passionate about internet culture, a lot of people misinterpret her burikko kayfabe and will genuinely think she behaves like that kek there's a lot of passion in her zatsu and projects.

>Gen 4They are a particularly close knit gen who often treat each other like family.
Kanata is a girl with a somewhat clumsy and awkward body language but she is nonetheless someone who is passionate about her work as an idol and she doesn't just do it for the simple fact of getting her paycheck. Watame is someone with a lot of empathy and I can't help but see her as a little sister to me, I cried when I saw the recent live concert, she is cute and her Japanese is simple. It saddens me that the jp scrotes have made Towa feel ashamed of her nasal voice, I find her somewhat uncomfortable and sometimes I wish she would stop paying so much attention to those types of people because I see her as someone I look up to.
>Gen 5Nothing against any of the girls but imo it's probably the most forgettable gen. Lamy is cute and sexy, I often find myself listening to her ASMRs when I have trouble sleeping, she's probably the one with the most underrated chat interactions and banters. Occasionally, I find myself to be playing alongside her fps streams but I do tune in for the more laid-back streams, couldn't help but mourn along her when she lost the SF6 tournament she put so much effort and practice. Nenechi is very funny, she does kind of pander to scrotes but it's more in the sense of getting pay-pigs but outside that she's fine.
>Gen 5 My second favorite generation. Lui reminds me of those ladies that participate on theater. she is something of a big sister to the rest of HoloX, and even jokes about her being intended to be a older-sister type (thought don't be fooled, she's a bit of an eccentric woman kek). Iroha seems to be popular with japanese women because I see a lot of girls in my timeline with itabags and shrines dedicated to her. Haven't watched much of her but by my first impressions she seems to be dorky and a shrinking violet so I guess that's why she has a "she's just like me fr fr" to them kek. Chloe is my kamioshi! I found it amusing how open she was to wanting money and talking about her BL fetish tastes, it's the perfect mixture between being cute, sexy and snarky though to some nonas her gfe can be a turn off but it's not like she does that on all streams.

>>331787Myth at Debut: Ina or Mori, since I was drawn to their designs the most. I still they're great, and definitely talented, but I hardly watch them stream.
Currently: Pleasantly surprised to see others mentioning Kiara. At first, I didn't know much about her, besides a little bit about her pl. After seeing some posts from anons dedicated to shitting on her, I decided to watch her streams myself to make my own judgment. I easily was drawn to her personality, and really appreciated how communicative and kind she is with her fans. She always works hard, and I admire her greatly. I consider her my oshi, and although I don't watch vtubers as often as I used to, I still support her when I can in streams and with merch.
Council at Debut: I thought Bae or Kronii would definitely be my favorite. Never ended up watching her much after though.
Currently: I do try to keep up with Mumei's streams now and then. I love her design, and think she's cute. I wanted to get into Fauna but her voice filtered me personally, as I don't really like listening to high pitched voices/prefer her "deep" voice which is probably closer to how she sounds irl I think (I know Moom's voice is higher pitched as well but it doesn't bother me for some reason.)
Advent at Debut: Nerissa, and potentially Fuwawa and Mococo. I did like Bijou's scuffed powerpoint debut as well, thought it was really funny and clever. I felt completely disappointed by Shiori for various reasons. I love her model's design but that's about it.
Currently: Nerissa, I know she does coomer pandering here and there which isn't my favorite lol. But I love her voice, and her singing is gorgeous. I have a lot of fun in her streams, and loved her chemistry with Kiara in their minecraft collab. I think it's cute how supportive she was for Kiara with her pl on Kiara's older videos.
As for Holostars EN, I'll just say that my favorites were initially Axel and Vesper. Still think Axel is pretty great, and I'm honestly a fan of everyone in Tempus right now, especially Hakka, Shinri, and Bettel.

Even if they did genuinely take it as an insult, it’s painfully obvious Kyo didn’t meant it that way, threatening him is crazy.
The craziest part about it is that a lot of Koreans will say objectively worse shit about other countries and their people and think it’s ok. Because this large amount of patriotism has lead Koreans to being incredibly xenophobic.

Maybe I missed something but from the og vid he had a pretty appropriate response to ennas impression that was obviously gonna be taken as racist whether he said something or not. Enna fans acted like he went on a hate tirade calling her evil and racist or something, when all he did was tell her the obvious.
Like I can’t blame him for his reaction, if he had said nothing or just awkwardly laughed it would’ve looked bad on his part.

Kek at untalented indies malding over not getting into Hololive and then blaming it on racism. Everyone knows that it’s insanely difficult to get into a reputable agency; they literally take 5 applicants out of a pool of thousands, if not 10s of thousands of applicants. It has nothing to do with you being POC. Besides, there are plenty of Hololive and Nijisanji livers in EN and ID that aren’t white.

Also 90%+ chance their 'talents' are something like drawing (at the level of an 8th grader in an anime club), gaming (duh), and something that doesn't really have a role in streaming, like cosplay or candlemaking or some shit.
Not trying to be mean, they might be a very sweet and hardworking person. Also this isn't aimed at this particular person, but at most indies who have this attitude. Indie vtubers need to realize that 90%+ of them aren't cut out for corporate vtubing lifestyle, and out of those 10% who make it into some form of a corpo, only maybe like 10% of those will make a livable wage.

What happened with Magni and Vesper was unfortunate, but I blame them and not cover for it. While they were cooperative, they were good contributors to Holostars… In both their cases, seeemd like they crashed and burned themselves.
Tangent, but with this it does seem like Cover's stated intention of ramping up debut output starting with Advent was true. Wonder if we can expect to see new Holo ID and JP gens within the next year as well, unless ReGloss counted as the new debut gen for JP overall despite being a new branch.

After seeing the two Armis collabs so far, like others I do think Rex seems notably better when at least one other person is around. Like his bratty yelling shounen MC thing has something to get softened with instead of bouncing around so sharply and very loudly off the walls. I'm still really liking Ruze a lot, I feel like he has pretty detailed and solid convictions behind his opinions on various things and media compared to several other male vtubers I've given a try. Goldbullet I wouldn't usually think is my type of vtuber but he's been surprisingly charming with his game commentary or reactions. Octavio I haven't been able to catch up with yet to listen more from him past the debut, but he has a good voice and some good moments too in the collabs. I don't know if I'll end up looking much at Armis besides following Ruze and whenever they have collabs with either each other or tempus/holostars but I can see the reasoning behind why they were picked, even Rex

It just disturbs me that this is being treated like an innocent mistake when he had to go out of his way to save the og art, seek out another artist, discuss with this artist to change basically nothing, and post said art shouting out the new artist all the while knowing that someone else came up with the entire design.
Also really weird of that other artist to basically act as if they came up with the entire design also knowing they referenced almost all of it from someone else.

IMO, he's like Fedmyster but smart and faster than the girl.
He also does this thing in certain screenshots where she's trying to talk to him via text and he's going “Call. Now.” Looks like they had some weird BDSM adjacent kink going but he used it to get his way.

If Japanese companies and celebrities are getting in trouble with Japanese netizens for even acknowledging the song, it’s clear that the song is even seen as disgusting by people who live in the culture and speak the language fluently.

I genuinely think you’re misunderstanding, but if you knew the trope, you’d know the song is celebrating both it and lolicons, and that’s why people are disgusted with it. There wouldn’t be an outrage over the song from people who hate lolicon culture if it was.

>>339747AYRT maybe you should consider that we can have multiple discussions at once. Some of us like female vtubers of actual quality and enjoy discussing them with other women in a relatively guaranteed tranny-free space. And most of the negative male chuuba feedback here comes from the male chuubas in question being annoying coomers like your picrel or making retarded brand decisions like Yu Q Wilson and Vox. We've had plenty of posts postively shilling male chuubas like Doppio, GB, and Ruze ITT alone so it's not like we never talk about them. I don't really understand how Flayon is somehow better than FWMC in your eyes.

4chan's preoccupation with Gura not streaming is so funny and sad to me. From the way they doompost, you'd think that Gura was a girlfriend of 5 years who cheated on them with their brother or something.
I've never been a Gura fan, but I gotta assume she's some combination of sad, anxious, or burnt out about trying to entertain 1,000,000 manchildren. She's probably sitting on enough wealth to buy whatever she wants, but she probably doesn't even want that much as a NEET. I don't think there's some secret illness or project in the works, she's probably just bored and tired.
It sucks watching your favorite change but her fans need to stop giving her money and unironically improve themselves. She probably reached her creative peak years ago.

>>340121It's basically as you said– she stated herself in her recent Sendai stream that she hasn't been streaming because she's burnt out (along with the time sink of having moved to Japan this year).
I honestly think she was just never the type who'd have wanted to be the face of Holo in the west to begin with. When you look at the personalities of Myth, it makes sense that Calli and Kiara are the ones still charging full force while the other three have had to step back a lot at various points for their wellbeing.

>>340136Honestly, it seems like there's been a huge influx of really angry and

I first started seeing them on Vox and Mysta's pages, but it's more recent that they've spilled over into the Stars pages. I have to assume they're Luxiem's angry CN fans.
I hate to sound like a /vt/ schizo ranting about nijisister collusion, but something of some kind is up.
No. 340187
>>340150NTA but are you talking about nyfco? Nyfco has been full of kids and ESLs since the day Luxiem debuted. Almost the whole entirety of their fans back in the day came from TikTok and Twitter, and being newcomers to the community they’d look up “Mysta real face” or something and ended up there. They’d make TikToks and twitter threads “exposing” their past lives and calling them “
problematic” for them and whatnot. Sometimes Mysta’s or Vox’s Chinese fans would raid their respective pages whenever they got mad at either of them and post a bunch of nonsensical hate messages and mass downvote any comment saying “Taiwan #1” or talking about Tiananmen Square (which was done in retaliation to their spamming) and they really haven’t left since. A good deal of female vtuber fans in general are SEA or Chinese, so the English second language thing has always been there. If there’s a recent uptick of that in other pages though, it’s probably because either the Vox fans or the Mysta fans that left decided to become Tempus fans. But in general, Tempus’s pages always had those types of people roaming them, especially Axel’s due to the timezone he streams in. But I guess there’s more nowadays due to a shift in fanbase and people finding new interest in ARMIS maybe.

>Villain team (NijiJP heroes) won after one of them disconnected in the final ring and his teammates had to punch him into position
I don't know anything about Apex so correct me or add on other moments, I couldn't catch up with most of the teams/rounds.
It was so fun, the meme rounds and nerfing winners to keep it dynamic were good ideas. I enjoyed watching my oshi even though I don't like FPS streams. It's interesting to see Holoniji interactions.

Kinda can’t be surprised at what’s coming to you for the rest of your life when you trade one parasocial relationship for another. NTAYRT, but the guy didn’t really trade off one parasocial relationship for another since the lie was made up in 2015 (before his family kicked him out for being a NEET) while he came back in early 2019 and was back to doing the same gameplay edit routine until 2022. You could even say that he came back to his channel to maintain his channel to get into Niji, but he didn’t think of joining until Bonnivier, his friend in NijiID, encouraged him to join and that guy debuted in 2020. Also, kek, the way you phrased it all made it seem like his content harbored a deep parasocial relationship with his audience while the guy just uploaded gameplay edits, mostly without his voice.
By the way, have you guys heard about Hana from NijiID making an alt vtuber account to upload sex audios and do fansly streams? I made a post about it a long time ago, when she was just doing regular streams on the channel, but I felt bad cause it seemed like she was genuinely mentally unstable with the whole using he/him pronouns thing. But now it’s public knowledge after getting blown up on twitter and she deleted the alt YouTube channel and privated the twitter and the fansly, so I guess it doesn’t matter anymore.

Ike and Vox are just repeating I they were accused I early on. Ike with the ghosting, posting self harm stuff and clingy-ness and Vox with the non-con rp with no warning or consent. And true to their PLs, both of them went from shading their exes to their company (see: AR Live and COVID). Ike doesn't have anything to defend against cz HE accused his ex of a bunch of stuff when it's clear that he was definitely
abusive as well (possibly more so). If you read the screenshots without looking for reasons why he's abused, it looks like he was meticulously avoiding leaving written messages.
Maybe Sony, to, will revert to his old self.
For Xsoleil, there were rumours that part of the reason Zaion was fired was because Hex complained and he was top earner in the wave at that point.

I get that they wanted to make a 'First-Of-It's-Kind' sort of thing and include
everyone, but considering that the vast majority of English-speaking viewers are only able to watch JP Vtubers through clips, I don't think they'd be able to accurately vote based on anything substanial.
Besides, I feel that award shows should focus on a broad horizon of choices, not just the most popular or most known. The fact that Matara Kan (Nina's reincarnation) and Kuro Kurenai (Mysta's reincarnation) are nominated for something despite only being in the sphere (as their new personas) for two-three months immediately removes any merit this "Award Show" attempted to have.
No. 343058
>>343056Tbf I think only like 2 JP VTubers won anything and there's supposed to be some international one by a different group hosted in Spring.
However Henya managed to win rising VTuber even though she's was very established before people made her retire for playing Hogwarts Legacy in her past life. Makes the categories seems like a mess.
I hate it but it should be like what the Oscars do. Get the top couple hundred creators in the industry to vote on things they like. As creators they should know the industry quite well and it won't be a most fans contest. Like Gura got best fanbase and she barely streams.
No. 343064
>>343058I don't have a problem with JP Vtubers winning anything (in fact, I think more should have), but the fact they were nominated and lost against something in the EN-sphere only because it was more popular. You mean to tell me that VSaikyo and Hololive's Sports Festival lost to… an Ironmouse subathon? Nijisanji Koshien, not even nominated? Kuzuha, the literal face of Nijisanji's gamers… lost to Selen? And why was Holocure even nominated for the game award…? Sure, it was popular, but the nomination spot could've easily went to a game that everyone's still actively playing, like Sutogura.
You're right, having those who are actually in the industry vote would definitely make this entire have actual, meaningful nominees and winners. As nice as it sounds though, I don't think anyone would really give a shit to do it. I know I wouldn't.

Anyways, personal thoughts:
I'm glad Selen won things but she should have won in some other category, not the ones she won in. It just made Niji look worse.
Fauna is my oshi but she did not deserve the ASMR award. At the same time I'll take it because Vox losing is always funny even if he doesn't care about his ASMR anymore.
Pippa should have won most chaotic. It would have been a backhanded win, like Gura's fanbase win, but still. It's true even if it's the result of mental unwellness.
There should have been more categories based on type of games played, especially when gaming makes up such a huge chunk of vtuber activities. Like best variety gamer would be very different than best gamer overall or best FPS gamer.
Also, the fashionista award was stupid. Isn't that just about whoever has enough money to cycle through outfits so often they become meaningless?

>>343094I mean, the nominations for FPS vtubers weren’t really good from the start. Botan, Shu, Selen, and Froot. They could’ve picked better people for the category to begin with, and Selen winning in the Gamer category over Kuzuha makes as much sense as Mori winning for the musician category over Suisei or Ironmouse winning vtuber of the year over Salome or Pekora. This was a western-centric event with western fans voting, so you’ll get wins that are more popular with the western crowd. Plus there’s a bunch of questioning going on for the event entirely and some people even urging Cover to sue everyone involved in putting it together. Does any of this really matter, though? It’s some random award show that has fansly promo all over it, mispronunciation of names, scuff on top of scuff, and random usage of AI art where it didn’t need to be used. It has less credibility than even the Streamy Awards and just a little more credibility than the random polls you see thrown into 4chan threads, so seeing people treat it like their oshis are getting snubbed of Grammys or Oscars awards or something is pretty funny.

I started watched Ame after a long time of not really watching vtubers. Tbh, I still like her. 4chan is usually pretty angry at her, because she seems like she's capable of creative things but has been burnt out for a long time, PLUS the 'work on yourself' thing.
But tbh, I like her, even though she's not a content and creativity factory like Kiara and Mori right now. She just seems like a chill gamer girl who needs some time to relax, and is tired of everyone expecting her to come up with something new constantly. I could see why it'd get tiring for her to be the one trying to spearhead a lot of collabs, especially when your genmate is Gura.

A good oshi candidate for someone like me who's tired of my old oshis breaking into menhera arcs where they can no longer hide their coomer tendencies and lack of any professional job experience before finding this outlet to live out their anime harem protagonist dreams.

It's ridiculous.
I've also seen Uyu's stories of being confused about his high voice and trying to maintain it when he hit puberty as "proof" of him being trans, when he explicitly stated that his mom supportively thinking he was trans was what gave him a reality check.
Today we have somebody asking if Ruze is trans because of his interests and PL.
In every case, there's always somebody subtly coming in and talking about how this kind of thinking is regressive/people should be able to present however regardless of their sex without being trans, etc. basic GC talking points without directly using alarming terminology.

>>344188That's not a reason to justify people insisting that he's possibly trans for their own gratification against his own stated trauma from being harrassed over his voice.
He's not the only case of a male vtuber with a highly GNC voice, either, but he gets these schizos because he has good opsec and is the only StarsJP that hasn't been doxxed. Mashiro from Nijisanji has had similar experiences with his voice, and his voice is his natural voice despite him being undeniably male when you see pictures and videos of him IRL.
This constant evaluation of whether you can clock somebody or not is just overall regressive, and a trend I really dislike in some terfy spaces. And it's not contributory to the discussion at hand.

>>344293i was studying his face for while for some reason, and then it hit me. omg, he looks just like my teacher in my fashion college, down to all the hair being combed to his forehead and scrawny anachan build and fucked up teeth and big nose and sunken in cheeks and shittily painted nails, all he's missing are glasses and a square face shape.

>>344285>I'm mostly a Holo fan these days, but my love affair with vtubers began with NijiJP! It's just that all of my favorites slowly left or became inactive…NTA but me too. I think NijiJP has stronger entertainers but Holos in all branches just seem like nicer (introverted) people overall kek. NijiEN, what happened to IN and KR, and the increasing JP idol activities were ironically what pushed me towards watching HoloEN more.
>It's sad that he turned out to be another typical troon.I cope by pretending that's an imposter and that his real RM is a regular ass salaryman somewhere out there in the world

>>344005If fan drama is relevant at all, I’m surprised no one has talked about the real insane fan named Horayo who was simultaneously an extremely parasocial fan artist while spending money sending hate superchats to Mysta almost everyday, and now does the same thing to Kuro. It got to the point where Mysta threatened legal action while still in Nijisanji and even had a private talk with her as Kuro, telling her to get her act together before he proceeds with suing her. She’s been going even harder nowadays after getting doxxed (by sending a public hate superchat that ended up getting tracked back to her own Steam account among other things) and I think she might get sued soon.
>Serially harasses Mysta/Kuro (spawning from jealousy over Mika and Mysta becoming friends during the Luxiem offcollab)>Also harasses other Nijisanji streamers such as Mika, Kotoka, and other members of Luxiem>Harasses other Mysta/Luxiem fans over completely unjustified reasons such as not liking them “the right way” such as clippers, fan artists, etc>Created tons of Mysta/Kuro hate threads on the 4chan catalog highlighting out of context clips to spawn hate towards him while also complaining about the hate that he gets on Nijisanji threads (even complained about the hate he gets on this website once kek)>Frequently blog posted about having a miserable life and no friends and self posted art from her own Twitter account (which is another thing that ended up getting her doxxed)>Harasses Mysta around his graduation announcement time (something she might be possibly responsible for) on Twitter which leads to him responding to one of her tweets telling her to move on (picrel)>Still is somehow a Kuro hater/fan when he debuts, still going on with the usual routine of making fanart and replying to every single one of his tweets on a hate account and her fanartist account >Kuro gets a hate dono from her one day and says he knows what her main account is, which leads to her making tweets about how she wants to leave the internet and how regretful she is of her previous actions, which alerts other Kuro/Mysta fans of her Horayo identity >Kuro mocks his haters on stream one day and she takes this as a slight towards her and goes on a full smear campaign to generate him hate by making malicious clips and spamming them under random fantweets and posting them on 4chan>Has a “reborn” hate account now where she’s just talking to herself about how much she hates Mysta and telling random fans to “apologize” for being a fan of him>Now Mysta’s nyfco page is just full of her ranting to herself about not caring if she gets sued and fighting with Mysta fansParasocialism truly is a disease.

>>344314AYRT oh my god, are you me? I never got into Niji EN but I was big into ID and KR and the slow death of those branches made me so sad. It always felt like you never knew when your favorite would leave in KR, and after the third graduation of somebody I watched there (Shin Kiru), I just gave up, which was a shame since that's the only non-EN branch I can fluently understand. With the bullying and mismanagement, though, I get why they ended up as they did.
ID though? The way they killed a branch that absolutely thrived on its own and then further neutered it by merging it with JP was just sad. I was already gone by the time the mass graduations started happening, but each one was so sad.
I hate to turn my back on the group that brought me into all this, but I'm a lot happier with the stability Holo provides me as a fan. I was a StarsJP watcher convurrent to watching Niji for years, but after finding my Hololive EN oshi, I've been really content as a fan. Who do you watch now?
And yeah, kek, Mayuzumi's kayfabe was strong enough that it's pretty easy to divorce him from Yamien. And his troon shit never really came out with the character, unlike the way some other livers have slowly morphed their characters to their gender illness. No. 344335

I'm actually so excited for Fauna to go on break. Getting daily episodes of her Outer Wilds let's play is going to be a nice and easy to keep up with treat each day during a stressful time of year.

>>344285>>344293Mayuyu was my kamioshi for a long time. I didn't even care about him being a troon irl much at first, but it's pretty disappointing nonetheless. I do still miss him and wish he was still around in Nijisanji.
>>343919I initially thought Ruze was going to be my new oshi, but I definitely have a soft spot for this bratty, dumb dino.
No. 344438
>>344402Yup, when it comes to english speaking fans I think that most people have a positive opinion of them and find it cool when their oshi gets to interact with them (like Sonny and Zali recently), but they don't exactly have a super big dedicated fanbase outside of Japan.
This is the case for Niji JP in general since most people can't understand japanese and it's not like Niji puts in much effort into advertising their JP branch overseas.

No. 344482
>>344473Kek, I had to watch the video. This is the most melodramatic thing I've ever seen in my life. "You can't play your old Genshin account in Niji" = putting her under surgery, electrocuting her, forcing her to become someone she's not, then literally kicking her poor anime neko/kitsune(?) girl self into the streets to survive in the pouring rain. Ok.jpg
Reminds me of Yanderedev's infamous video where he portrays all of his struggles except he's a cute anime girl being bullied by le internet.
And what's with the Kson appearance? Is she trying to imply she's going to be a part of Vshojo? Do they even want her?
No. 344484
>>344482Kson just likes to blindly support whoever gets burned by corpos, she was doing commentary on some of Sayu's original disclosures about Nijisanji back when her first google doc came out.
If anybody really wants a good laugh, check out the comments. I like the one likening what happened to her to psychological horror kek

Just wondering, but for those of you who have a female kami oshi, what's your sexuality? I'm a lesbian, although I wouldn't say that I'm attracted to my oshi at all (even if I am to some of the other female chuubas I watch).
No. 344496
>>344495I'm straight (I think… I'm not sexually attracted to women). My kami oshi is female simply because I don't like men and therefore don't watch male chuubas kek.
>>344482Kekw Yunii being in the video after Sayu shat on her.
No. 344506
AYRT
>>344496Yeah, it's the same reason for me. I don't want to watch men and I'd still watch only female chuubas if I was straight kek
>>344503Nice, I wish there was a term for it that didn't sound misogynistic but hag chuubas are really just the best.
Honestly I'm pretty sure that viewers who genuinely oshi somebody for waifu reasons are pretty rare.

>>344181Does Cover even hire gendies to become vtubers in their company anyway? The only one I'm aware of is maybe Kronii's PL, who's apparently a "nb lesbian" or something like that. I'm a fan of livers from both Holo and Nijisanji, but something that I've noticed is that Anycolor is more lax on hiring vtubers to join their companies compared to Cover. They're more willing to hire menhera gendies like Yugo and Mayuzumi to join their companies, whereas for livers under Cover, the "wildest" they'll get is hiring bisexuals (Tempus Vanguard boys are a good example of this). In fact, it might be too risky on a business standpoint for Cover to hire TIM/TIFs, as the Holo streaming culture is "boys interact with boys only and girls interact with girls only"
unless you're in ID or want the male fans to give you shit forever aka Mori kek.
