Mori seemed like the popular choice for next threadpic, but it's hard to find art of her that isn't horny to some degee, and I didn't want to inflict that on random farmers in the catalog. Maybe if other nonnas find good, clean art of her and post it here we can use it for the next thread?
I also tried including some resources instead of recent news/milk as requested. In case it's not clear, Hololyzer's best use IMO is for VODwatchers seeking to view interactions from other corpo members in chat at the time of the stream.
Feel free to suggest further resources for the next thread. I considered adding some of the newbie vtuber resources from the last thread, but I wasn't sure how others would feel about it.
Hope everything looks alright!

I don't even think it's that. His PL wasn't like this. He's just trying way too hard at BFE as GB he has no business doing, and a subset of yumes lacking taste eats it up. It reminds me of Hex Haywire, except GB's only saving grace is that his branding at least doesn't involve traumadumping.

No. 349406

>>349381
GB doesn't have much presence in Armis as a group outside full collabs if that makes you feel any better. Most of the best material has been from the other three interacting, they seem to pretty well matched on the same wavelength while GB is often over there in his own corner. To me Ruze is one of the best male vtubers to have debuted in a pretty long time through a corpo. Partly because of shared interests that match mine and I like his game choices, partly because he's been really fun at conversation with others and having fun himself in a somewhat mischevious way through gameplay

No. 349408

>>349406
I totally agree, and I was glad to see that he got something of a sub boost through the Palworld stream (which finally pushed Goldbullet down below him as the least-subbed member of Armis, kek).
It just goes to show that he's not only a great addition for existing fans, but also capable of snagging fans from the normie sphere. Dude is just a great streamer and I'm looking forward to seeing him go far.

I think it's really fortunate Ruze ended up in the Holostars English environment rather than getting muddled somewhere in Niji EN's environment. Part of his thing is being gruff but I enjoy how he's capable of using whatever he has to make lemonade out of lemons, almost. His character class inside Holostars English is axe fighter and he leans into it whenever he wants to, but there's some surprisingly graceful aspects about how he handles certain things. Like how he spun the comments from people who don't like vtubers or his voice when he was playing Palworld in order to entertain everyone else watching

I'm a woman who used to keep up with franchises like Hypnosis Mic and a bit of Paradox Live (and often searching yt for any anime music videos of any type) as my pick of easy and casual junk food media in between other things, but either they go into inactive periods or I simply got bored. I was casually aware of those clips of corpo male vtubers and watched them now and then, over a period of time I had seen a lot of Tempus clips. I browsed around for a good while, and honestly I didn't really like what I saw of Niji outside of a few select things: Doppio, Vanta's social/conversation skill (not really his games though), and a bit of Fulgur's content and game choices. Ren made a good impression in terms of being nice and not coomer-y, but eh.

Tempus I found much easier to get into with casual watching and I got in deeper once Armis debuted and I saw how well Jurard, Ruze, and Octavio got along and bantered like they've already been used to it for a good while. I think it was their Apex commentary that was one of the early big hooks. I have very little watch time with any female vtubers besides having listened to several Amiya Aranha vods (since I like learning about retro games) after she was recommended here a long while ago because I mostly want to look at anime boys, so idk much at all about them.

I'm a straight woman who mostly watches female vtubers, so I'll give my perspective.
I think vtubing is just another medium, like anime, video games, whatever.
Like, I'd say video games have been historically riddled with sexism and terrible communities, but are there still gems with awesome female characters, or games that don't even have human characters at all? Yes.
Same thing with anime. Every season, there's harem garbage, with lolis, little sisters, 13 year olds with huge boobs. However, there's a lot of great anime that have little or no sexuality, and well-written stories with beautiful artwork.
If anything, I think vtubing could be liberating for female streamers, depending on the streamer herself. Maybe a girl who's chubby or ugly irl and would be shy and harassed as a 'facestreamer' can become an excellent entertainer who sings and plays games for hours because she doesn't have to expose her real self.
You could argue that women could just stream without any camera or model, but I like the experience of becoming attached to these 'characters', their designs, their goofy lore.

Tldr: Vtubing encompasses a lot of types of personalities and content. Not every female streamer is lolibaiting like Gawr Gura or coombaiting like Shylily. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's not that farfetched that some of us would enjoy it, especially when we already love gaming or anime.

Females liking cute cartoon avatars just isn't that hard to grasp imo

Tbh I want her to play the long con and wait to join EN4 just to see the drama it would produce kek. Although I also think she's best suited for Holo, even though waiting to audition for the who-knows-when next gen without even a guarantee of getting in would be an unwise career move. People keep comparing this potential scenario to Luna since it's a Niji to Holo progression, but it's more comparable to Polka and I'd like to see her thrive.

sage for intrusive thought
I've been following Hololive for a few years. But I feel like we haven't really seen a 'top' Holo graduate yet, aside from Coco, who helped trailblaze the EN vtubing sphere. It was sad, but she immediately came back as Kson.
But I'm morbidly curious about what it'll be like if someone like Pekora, Marine, or Korone graduates.
I'd add Gura but meh, she's more of a figurehead at this point.
Off topic, I was a bit surprised to see Kobo is the 6th most subscribed Holo. I knew she was well-liked, but I didn't know she beats out most of the company. I guess it's partially english buff.

Hi nonas I'm not a vtuber watcher, but I'm sort of interested in them so I hope it's ok if I ask some questions here.
1. What kind of vtuber(s) do you watch?
2. What makes you like a new vtuber? Design? The content?
3. Speaking of design, what kind of designs are you drawn to? I've seen a lot of people (who don't watch vtubers) call vtubers ugly and overdesigned but I've always found them quite charming and cute. What is the design discussion like within the community?
4. Interesting details about vtubers that aren't known to non-watchers? (I saw people in here mention graduation for example, idk what that means in this context)
5. What are put-offs that would make you instantly stop watching a vtuber even if everything else matches what you normally love to watch? (for example ugly design, annoying voice, political opinions, playing bad games, pandering of some kind…)
6. Who would you say are the most popular vtubers?

No. 350397

>1. What kind of vtuber(s) do you watch?
I tend to watch almost only girls, I enjoy just chatting streams usually, but also karaoke and games I already like.
>2. What makes you like a new vtuber? Design? The content?
I'm usually drawn in because of the design, initially but a number of factors contribute to me staying, is she female friendly? Does she pander to males openly? Is her personality vibrant?
>3. Speaking of design, what kind of designs are you drawn to? I've seen a lot of people (who don't watch vtubers) call vtubers ugly and overdesigned but I've always found them quite charming and cute. What is the design discussion like within the community?
I'm an artist myself, so I have an harsh eye for designs, they have to be interesting at least for me. I tend to judge an indie by their choices in design, because that gives away a bit about the streamer's personality itself and I don't lose time with tasteless people lol.
>4. Interesting details about vtubers that aren't known to non-watchers? (I saw people in here mention graduation for example, idk what that means in this context)
Graduation and debut are both terms from the idol industry, graduation is leaving the group/activities, debut is well, debutting.
>5. What are put-offs that would make you instantly stop watching a vtuber even if everything else matches what you normally love to watch? (for example ugly design, annoying voice, political opinions, playing bad games, pandering of some kind…)
Pandering to males by being a pickme and being overtly sexual. I don't think there's anything wrong with being sexual itself (unless it's pickmerism) but I'm just not interested in people constantly talking about their boobs. I'm also a fairly good judge of character, if I sense someone being a bitch behind the scenes or being stuckup I walk away.
>6. Who would you say are the most popular vtubers?
Hololive girls are the most popular for sure, then idk, maybe VShojo but it's not everyone's cup of tea (I don't like them either). Japanese Hololive is bigger for sure, my favorite vtuber among the big names is Houshou Marine.

No. 350431

>>350390
>1. What kind of vtuber(s) do you watch?
I watch a lot of indies. When I watch company vtubers, I typically only watch them when they're in collabs. I watch indie men, but company women. Not sure why.
>2. What makes you like a new vtuber? Design? The content?
Personality! Design matters only if they're absolutely ugly, but I'm not too picky. Just make me laugh.
>3. Speaking of design, what kind of designs are you drawn to? I've seen a lot of people (who don't watch vtubers) call vtubers ugly and overdesigned but I've always found them quite charming and cute. What is the design discussion like within the community?
Simple and recognizable designs. I don't like overdesigned ones, and I am drawn to ones with a unique style. Especially if the VTuber says they drew it themselves.
>4. Interesting details about vtubers that aren't known to non-watchers? (I saw people in here mention graduation for example, idk what that means in this context)
Majority of VTubers are about grifting, especially on Twitter. If you want to get into VTubers, find one who seems genuine and has a love for streaming, not a love for views.
>5. What are put-offs that would make you instantly stop watching a vtuber even if everything else matches what you normally love to watch? (for example ugly design, annoying voice, political opinions, playing bad games, pandering of some kind…)
Baiting for followers. Constantly making follower goals and egging people on. I mean the "1000 retweets and I'll reveal my neck" type of VTubers.
>6. Who would you say are the most popular vtubers?
As others said, the Hololive girls, both JP and EN, being number one. NijiEN Luxiem is popular in the East. NijiJP is even more popular in the East.

No. 350482

I think most the popular high-profile corpo streamers (Mori, Kiara, Pomu, and so on) are in their mid 20s to early 30s. After all, a lot of them had already been streaming for a few years before being recruited to a corpo. Also, seems like a fair amount of popular female vtubers had some kind of past trying out the aidoru lifestyle in Japan (Pomu and Kiara, I believe.)
I'll also mention that to start being an indie vtuber, you generally need a little bit of funds, so I guess either having an adult person job or having rich parents.

This is kinda interesting and it gave me some further questions. Are the real identities of vtubers usually secret? And it's just accepted that these people act as their character, so adults playing a teenager is fully accepted and so on?

I actually had an acquaintance/friend of a friend who got into being a vtuber a few years ago (from already having a franchise based following online) and she just fully advertized it with her usual stuff that had her face on it. I never actually watched her though, her vtuber avatar seemed very male-pandering to say the least and that just doesn't interest me personally. She also portrays a race/culture she's not from in a sexy manner, that sort of thing usually brings backlash but I don't think there's been any for her. Is that typically the case, people just see it as a character that anyone can voice?

No. 350503

>>350154
It's the ID buff in Kobo's case. Her huge subcount comes from a massive ID fanbase that the other ID livers just haven't been able to capture im the same way. Indonesia is a massive country with a big anime scene and she's one of the few vtubers who manages to properly play into it.

No. 350531

>>350501
Although I don't know much myself, every case I've read about where the person behind a character gets replaced there's been huge fan backlash. But obviously it's not seen as a big deal at all if that one person has had 2-3 different characters/avatars as a vtuber they've been through because of company moving reasons or personal reasons like changing image or audiences. There's often no "writer" behind a vtuber character except for that one person who was performing it so it's almost like a deep instinct where people don't want to see that mind swapped out at all, only brought to a final conclusion (graduation) if that person has to leave for whatever reason. One of the most infamous cases was with one of the early popular groups that made skits like Kizuna Ai, Game Club Project. They were kinda like the natural next step (within vtubers) to the already existing culture where some anime voice actors are pretty idol-like with fanbases of their own beyond their anime characters that buy up their personal merch. The Game Club Project members voice acted for comedy videos written by other people and that was a main part of their channel growth on youtube, but they were also expected to perform as their characters on streams and interact like that and so they'd be the ones doing the mental work for the characters many hours on stream. When it was found out the original VAs were replaced the fan backlash was unanimously negative and the company abandoned the whole thing.

There's always some kind of loose or vague narrative to a vtuber, especially with a group environment that's consistent and has frequent interactions. So I guess it's reflexive that a major interruption in that by trying to switch out the person feels way too jarring to accept

Too many indie vtubers with cute female models are either men irl using text-to-speech, or straight up TIMs. Luckily I imagine most of them won't get extremely popular. Zentreya already fills up the TTS niche, with a pretty expensive-looking model as well.

I love her knight outfit. It's a shame that Cover doesn't really allow hair/eye color changes in outfits (outside of that one time Rushia did it), because I think this design could really have been elevated by toning the saturation of her hair down a little or something.

I mean /vt/ is /vt/ but Mori had some major fuckups early on that got her a lot of warranted hate. Like when she "ironically" retweeted a hater's comic about her having sex with Cdawgva, then when people on the hololive subreddit said that was a bad look she went there to defend herself and say she was just having fun, then when it turned out no one thought it was funny she blamed "the lean", then when people said that was an even dumber thing to do she said that she didn't know what lean was and she thought it just meant alcohol. Like, she's obviously gotten a lot better since then but I still find it hard to take her too seriously after that lethal dose of second hand embarrassment.

Ntayrt but isn't it more of a gag/skit on Marine's behalf, and the majority of her content is pretty normal, just her occasional lewd joke gets clipped?
That's what I've heard anyways, that a lot of hololive JP (hell, even hololive EN) gets portrayed out-of-context in clips, especially when you can't speak the language.
If you have a 3 hour stream and you have 2 minutes of thirsting over an attractive character or whatever, that's the 2 minutes that's gonna be clipped.
I'd love to hear from a Marine fan though. I do like her singing a lot, and I like that it's an open secret that she's at least 30. I don't speak JP though so I can't make a fair assessment.

No. 350842

>>350826
Yeah, Marine's think (as well as Koyori's, although Koyori is a lot more unicorn-pandering) is tongue-in-cheek burikko. It makes sense that it flies over Western fans heads, but most of it isn't meant to be taken seriously. And she's got a lot of merits as a person that make her worthing of making her your oshi, even if you're not into that. Her social skill, willingness to be drop everything for the other girls, and drive to finish massice projects, is unparallelled.
>>350763
IDK, I used to like her, and you're being fair in your opinion that you can't look past it, but I think she's had one of the most distinct and drastic positive character arcs in EN. She went from being an asshole who was drunk on her own ability/not processing sudden success well to somebody who is a pillar of not only the branch but also the company. She's shown many times that she's acquired a lot of humility over the years, and she's even admitted openly to and apologized for being a douche to Kiara early on because she superficially didn't value her friendship and skills. I think it takes a lot to admit to your flaws so publically and change as much as she has, so it's easy for me to get behind her now. She's actually earned it where a lot of people would have instead double downed on being an asshole or folded into themselves.

And I say this as one of the Ruffian nonnas defending the dogs to death in the last thread.
Making at least some sort of neutral comment, if not a positive, "Oh, nice!" comment would have been fine, and nobody could justifiably have gone berserk on them for that. Staying silent the way they did made a negative statement and I'm probably going to dial back how much of them I watch from now on.

At what point do you find yourself unable to enjoy a medium you once loved because of the fanbase? Shit like above is one of the reasons I stopped watching a lot of the holo girls if not most vtubers both jp and western. There's been a gradual enshitification of vtubers as a medium as the once "vocal minority" of unicorns is now the predominant culture, even when applied to vtubers who aren't "idols." I dont understand how anyone is supposed to look the other way and pretend like nothing is wrong when the space you enjoy your hobby in is infested with insufferable moids who now have heavy influence over the creator's content and the market. And if they're not a unicorn then theyre an annoying leddit-humored chode, a casual coomer, a vapid aspuring indietuber leech, or a rare insufferable lesbian unicorn.

Had to delete and repost because I forgot to greentext the questions!
>1. What kind of vtuber(s) do you watch?
Not my oshi, as of last weekend…
That aside, I have a preference for chuubas that have a passion/respect for otaku hobbies, are laidback and/or goofy, have a gap moe aspect, or have good kayfabe. The ones I watched the most after Pomu were Amelia, Salome, Shien, and Korone. I'm also subbed to Mumei, Fubuki, Pina Pengin, Risu, and Roberu, but I don't watch them nearly as frequently as the others.
I haven't properly watched anyone from ReGLOSS yet, but Raden was very cute in the clips I've watched of her! I'm also very intrigued by Ao's design and character description.
>2. What makes you like a new vtuber? Design? The content?
Content. Designs are important to a degree, but it's never what makes me stay, and it wont make me leave, either. I didn't like Pomu's model for the longest time (the design and the art style). I still think Amelia's art style is butt ugly, and yet I'd consider her 2nd in line of my most-watched.
>3. Speaking of design, what kind of designs are you drawn to?
Korone and Risu are the first that come to mind for models that simultaneously have the kind of art style + character design that I like.
As far as designs go, I love cutesy comfy clothing, whether it's loungewear or something fit for cold weather. Moesode, sweaters, fur trims, big boots, round silhouettes, etc. Especially when paired with warm and neutral color schemes, namely brown and red.
I also find it cute when models have a little "mascot" on them, like Lize or Machita from Niji, just because it gives off a fun 00's anime type of energy. It seems like a very niche design choice, though.
>5. What are put-offs that would make you instantly stop watching a vtuber even if everything else matches what you normally love to watch?
Coomer stuff (ironic or otherwise), and trying too hard to be funny (especially with gross or edgy jokes).

>"vocal minority" of unicorns is now the predominant culture
Not necessarily, the 60-100 people from number thread on /vt/ are just very dedicated with their astroturfing and roping in trolls and similar "unicorns" from unrelated generals. It's pretty obvious with how they post comments under the expo vid and immediately like them en masse. Same for other stuff where they raid tweets and clips. Even knowing that I stopprd watching girls and unfollowed most of them on all platforms save Bae and couple of IDs. Not interested in them and their fanbases, it genuinely has gotten out of hand (and tbf I do have less time nowadays). It's gotten to the point where even normies are like "can you pls stop this shit" and even /jp/ posters are baffled.
Anyway, what surprises me is how Fuwamoco are fine with being used to shit not only on stars, but other holos too. I would've expected them to tell others not to harass other Cover talents and to stop associating with them if they do attack other members. Maybe that's the kind of people they are and they're happy with those aggressive incels as their fans that constantly attack others, no clue, but it's surprising nonetheless that not even managers have told them to say anything. It wouldn't be anything new either.

No. 351363

Man, I actually watch a lot of StarsEN, but it's impossible to talk to other fans because my inability to see men as people with interior lives and feelings always gets in the way. This sounds satirical, but there's always a point at which it becomes obvious the other person actually cares about the streamer as a person when to me the guy is just an entertainment monkey, kek.
I know I'm probably lowering myself to the level of, like, 4chan moids who don't see the girls as people, but I just don't care about the wellbeing of men. The boys might as well be actual anime characters to me.

Even if they were uncomfortable, what is done is done and saying something afterwards would mean acknowledge what they did in the first place and the fact that it was a calculated move.
In my opinion, it was a stupid move to stay completely silent in the first place, not even an “oohh” or “woow” as they usually do when they don’t know what to say. Everything about the twins is fabricated artificially, but this one was a strategically stupid move imo.

I don't know enough about either of them to have a strong stance on the situation, but I think you hit the nail on the head about men wanting sex with BPD women until it's inconvenient.
spoilered because this is somewhat derailing but Men love the idea of 'crazy' women based on what they see on TV or anime. They think it's gonna be crazy sex, cute clingy behavior, whatever. But once that 'crazy' woman actually does something that inconveniences him, e.g. 'I don't like you watching porn 18 times a week, I don't like that you let that female coworker flirt with you, I don't like you out drinking until 3 AM' suddenly her mental illness that was a fetish a few weeks ago is a huge nuisance and he's gaslighting her out the wazoo.

Reminds me of the Ike statement I read before. I wanna hear her side cz I seriously doubt his POV.
I've had guys try to spin things in ways to make their exes look more unstable than they are. This is just another one. I'm willing to bet he did that (talking in her stream) on purpose, knowing she was streaming and she did GFE.
BTW, has anyone seen her be actually GFE beyond “You're not watching other vtubers, right?!” She always seemed headstrong and dumb, like Finana, from the clips I saw.
>>350743 Lol someone said it. He's cute enough. But the level of horny is not justified. I still go there to watch though. It's funny.
>>351518 Says who? The ex that says she's "falsely blaming him" for it. This board runs on US laws. Hurting someone's reputation isn't enough for you to be believed. Men (especially Asian ones) are better at playing victim. People can be talented and generally nice while being awful partners. People can also do that thing where they only care about their own pets.
All I see is a bunch of people upset about their favourite Utaite being emotionally hurt. He wasn't a kid. He was almost 30 when that started, just like her. He's crying foul behind an uwu image now, when she's actually making progress in her career. I've only seen clips, but I agree with the gachis. He's ruining her career.

I've heard that a lot. I'm asking if anyone has clips/examples cz all I've seen is, “You're not watching other Vtubers, are you?” or something tho that effect. About the same as Marine (and it didn't seem much like GFE to me, even with marriage applications). Is that moid logic? Did I miss the relevant streams? So if you have something leftover, please send it my way. She always seemed pretty chill to me.
And I've heard one MafuMafu song. Typical menhera Vocaloid stuff. I heard he did BFE as well, so they seemed like a match made in heaven. The fact that his announcement came right after she got a job opportunity and seemed to be moving forward is kinda sus. This is the second time I'm watching a male Utaite make an announcement about his ex where it looks like he thought issuing a statement first would cause her problems. I'm not impressed. I'm sure his fans are, though.

No. 351831

AYRT, to be honest? Yeah, I went looking after this to find what I "remember" about her being super GFE and I'm just not seeing it. A lot of the so-called evidence comes from the same period of often misrepresentative clips that still plagues other talents like Marine to this day.
The only real sticking points I can really find about her lean more into her making stupid impulsive choices, like the things that got her fired from Cover or her suing Delutaya/Mana Aloe on what now seem to be false libel charges. Like, sure she's menhera, but it doesn't seem any worse than Mafumafu, except that the latter has influential male friends and a rabid yume fanbase, which is seen more as a pro than a con when a male is doing it. And the timing is definitely sus.
If a JP speaking nonna can speak to the contrary, by all means do, but I'm convinced to at least be neutral here.

I think her statement is in response to his. I knew he sounded sus. He said — based on chatlogs — he wasn't rude to her (or whatever moral harassment means) on Discord. Not Line.
I think he's using the other dude to harass her, but that's just me. (I don't like him. He assigned malicious intent to all her actions. I think he was projecting.) She's kinda impulsive and dumb, but not evil. Which would explain the shotgun wedding and divorce.(this is an imageboard)

I don't speak JP or closely follow either of the talents. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual truth is somewhere in the middle.
Sounds like Mikeneko was being insane from the beginning, asking for 24/7 monitoring and being honest right off the bat that she distrusts men and feels they will cheat on her. However, Mafumafu seemingly easily went along with it, maybe due to some combination of pity, wanting the BPD pussy, or thinking he could 'fix' her.
Not that Mikeneko's actions were okay, but sounds like she was pretty upfront with her trauma and crazy behaviors. And when you upset an unstable woman, lo and behold, she rushes out of the hotel upset, texts flirtatiously with other men, and such.
Tldr: I wouldn't be surprised if neither of them were great people. She probably did in fact have crazy behaviors, but was honest about it from the start. He decided to go along with her behaviors, for whatever reason, then got upset when it became an inconvenience.

After seeing the FWMC talk a little earlier in the thread, I decided to check them out. Their models are really cute, but fuck me, I can't stand the childish voices at all, even if twins running one channel together sounds like a very fun and innovative thing in terms of vtubing.

This is what makes me really leery of the situation. Regardless of what she's like, Mikeneko is and has been in a vulnerable situation because of the nature of her job as Rushia. Most of the friends she built throughout her career literally can't publicly back her even if they want to without jeopardizing their own positions in Hololive, and she was never really a social butterfly outside of Hololive beyond maybe her joke relationship with Tamaki to begin with.

Hard agree. If it was two sisters chilling, nerding out over anime, and having fun, I'd be so down. But out of all of the pet peeves I have for vtubers, uwu voices is generally a hard no for me, and damn do they go all-in on the uwu voices.
Having a character voice is one thing - I think it's totally fine if a streamer talks a little more energetically or expressively on camera. But the slurring the words together, the baby talk, making English sound like a second language despite them being white Canadian? No thanks.
They also seem like they lean into the twincest/sexy aspect, at least in terms of the artwork they like and repost. I've seen some anons defend this with 'oh of course there's twincest, being twins has always been their selling point', but I've 100% seen sibling-run youtube channels that don't feature twincest. In fact, I think the vast majority of sibling channels.
No offense to anons who like them, I believe that they are very hardworking and passionate about anime. But I need more fem tubers who speak in a normal pitch…
Hopefully no anon here is delulu enough to say 'oh that's their natural voices' but there's clips of them in their past life speaking in much more normal english.

No. 351875

The only thing I have to say about this is that with everything that's come to light, Mikeneko's continually stated financial issues now make sense. She's talked about being broke constantly since leaving Hololive despite her relative continued success as both Nazuna and Mikeneko, and people constantly disparaged her for being financially irresposnsible. Which she very well could be, but it seems more likely now that she was being financially drained by what looks, from her new statment, to be continuous legal disputes with Mafumafu. And abusive litigation is a well known tactic of relationship abuse.

Godddd why. I know the majority of vtubers WILL egg on their fans acting like absolute degenerates (I'm primarily a holofag so I know this first-hand) & Japan is huge on incest, but, seriously?

AYRT. Sexism is stronger in Asia. Women are usually blamed for divorces, getting raped. For example, there was a case in Jp long ago about a woman being forced to quit from local elected office cz she talked about getting sexually assaulted. If mfmf implied that she got raped and impregnated from that, it's dishonourable to HER. Women talking about that stuff are considered problematic.
Meanwhile, he's on social media crying about what a victim he is. And people are treating him with kiddie gloves.
There's also reports of women being told they “seduced” the perpetrators of sexual assault in Korea. There's whole YouTube video from foreign women. (It's not much better in other places.) And there's that Ike who accused his ex of similar stuff to what MafuMafu is doing rn, (right after 5 years, when his sexual crimes would have expired under Swedish law). The page on nyfco is full of CN & KR gachis implying it was all the ex's fault cz there's no police case. She was also menhera, but definitely didn't do everything he implied. (Both dudes are salty about wanting money, really.) From what I gather, Mfmf wants his ring back and Rushia wants the urn with her hamster's ashes.
Songs like “Not All Men” hit particularly hard in Asia. Women are pick-mes and grey situations like this one are used to crush a woman's image, which hurts her career prospects. Her ex manufactured a whole affair. Her coworkers will not step forward cz they mainly pander to males. Even Vshojo.
In most breakup situations, women are expected to grow and improve but men are coddled. Her wording is already a lot more neutral than his. I doubt the truth is in the middle. It's probably much closer to her statement than his. She admits her role. He's just saying that he didn't do anything according to Discord logs, but he left out Line.
“oh I didn't stab her with that knife, but ignore the bloody one”.
And most news channels are eating it up “it's Rushia, so she must actually be menhera yandere.” The Jurard ryona nonnie here is probably a perfectly sane person irl.
I wonder if the coverage from female channels will be different. I've almost never seen a woman win those drama scandals on YT. All she said was that she didn't neglect her cat and that the previous cases are already settled, so it's not fair to bring them up now. It doesn't get more middle ground than that.

I watched Shinri a few times and he brought up lore at some point and had a lot that he wants to expand on but can't because management says no.

Or the fact that he sued her and his conditions were that she 1) Has to quit her streaming career (mind you, she's had an online presence since 2011), 2) Can't use and post on social media ever again, 3) Have to pay 1million JPY and 4) Have to submit a public apology saying she's sorry and did wrong, that requires approval by him personally.

I used to be a fan of his but this whole ordeal made me realise how much a menhera fuckboy he is and how patient Mikeneko is. Imagine going around for years saying you're asexual and just don't wanna date to appease your followers of highschool girls, all while you're married at the same time. Then, when it gets found out you messaged her, you decide to backpedal and say the one you're supposed to love is actually a stalker who just has one sided feelings for you, that you would totally never reciprocate so your yumes don't get upset, and in the end your actual wife gets harassed for YEARS all while you're still selling out your concerts. And then some random article saying you're married pops out of nowhere just after your ex wife is thriving and managed to get a VA career after everything that's been done to her, and now you reveal, whoops I've been married this whole time! But don't worry, she was actually an evil witch and to prove how evil she is, you go onto Japanese DramaAlert and start crying about how you were abused. Lol. lmao even.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I just had a bad first impression with them forever ago and then rolled with it kek. Up to this point, Kuzuha has had an "obnoxious" image in my mind and Kanae has had a "condescending" image in my mind. The former can be fun in big collabs but I still never really enjoy the latter (and sadly, I prefer his design between the two of them by a long mile).

That, at least, is definitely why I've never thought twice about my aversion to them.

No. 352125

>>352118
Even as someone who loves both of them, I can sadly see why you would have those impressions, the translated clips and the things more casual fans say about them definitely portray them in the wrong way, to say at the least. Kuzuha tends to act bratty and annoying but he knows where the line is and he is actually pretty considerate of his collab partners. To give an example, when he was put into a team with a lot of people he didn't know (during Valorant Vsai) he behaved really politely until they got more comfortable as a team and he only started to banter with them after that. When he collabed for the first time with Kanae he stayed super quiet because he didn't want to say anything that could potentially upset his fans.
Kanae isn't condescending at all, he tends to be kind to everyone and will usually try to make sure other people are having a good time before he himself is. He has a ton of connections (even outside of Niji) and everyone has a positive image of him, whether it's online or behind the scenes. Even if you think him being nice and kind is an 'act' he has somehow managed to keep up for over 5 years of daily streams, I don't think everyone would speak of him so well if there wasn't truth to it. He does mess with people often but he'll pretty much never do anything that's not ok with the other person.
I'll admit to being a bit biased but as someone that dislikes plenty of male vtubers, I think both of Chronoir are as respectful and professional as it gets, and they're pretty hardworking too. Being filtered by their fps spam is understandable, although they still put out plenty of other kinds of content, especially on their shared channel. Shame about the translated clips situation, but plenty of vtubers (especially jp ones) have that problem.

He's still far from being a social butterfly and he still prefers to stick to his close friend groups for the most part, but overall he's gotten way less awkward compared to how he was in the past. He really had to step out of his comfort zone during Vsai(he didn't even have a single person he knew well there) and while he was really worried about it initially, it worked out without any big problems in the end.

Genuinely curious as to whether nonnas who hate the way FWMC talk have an issue with similar high kayfabe chuubas like Luna and Korone.

I've never been able to watch Luna but Korone was my first ever oshi and I still love her a lot. Her behaviour isn't too childish so I can look past it. I've been into JP media for long enough to get used to baby voices on women/female characters; it's usually how a vtuber acts that determines whether or not I'll be able to stand listening to them. In the case of FWMC, it's the subtle baby talk and the constant yelling, barking, and loli noises. It's a shame because I'd genuinely want to watch them but I just can't. I feel the same about Bijou, Hajime, Pekora, and Miko (although, I'm on the fence about the latter two sometimes but I suppose it makes sense, given that I've watched them a lot over the years and have come to tolerate them a bit more (and I feel a bit bad about disliking Miko's voice because I'm pretty sure she has a speech impediment so there's not much she can do about it)).

Agreed. I don't understand JP, so I can't call myself a true 'fan' of any of Holo JP outside of clips. However, while Korone's voice is a bit high-pitched and energetic, I wouldn't call it childish per se, at least not to my westernized ear. Some women really do have high-pitched voices, and that's fine. However, I dislike how FWMC purposefully slur/trip over their words together in a googoo-gaga fashion.
It's possible I have lower standards for Korone since I don't understand JP. But you can definitely hear the forced baby thing with Luna despite the language barrier.
Hell, listen to this clip of FWMC past life from 2 years ago. There's still some of the baby thing going on, but their English is much clearer and easier to understand, imo. (Still a lot of dumb baby noises tho.)

Sorry for the blogpost, but I just want to vent a bit on this. I'm a small time vtuber and I am considering graduating because I genuinely dislike vtubing culture. I dislike how it conflates with anime fandoms and how most viewers behave in chat. I hate how everything is oversexualized and how lolicon/shotacon is so normalized. Call me a normie or whatever, but I am hating it so much it's keeping me from streaming. I just wanted to be a vtuber because I enjoyed the prospect of streaming and wanted to hide my ugliness, but vtubing in itself is just so, so, tainted by anime.

I'd say it's half half, she does have a unique accent that I think is natural to her, but she's also an innately goofy person which results in her making all of the ridiculous noises she does.

Oh my god, that's it. I've wondered what it is about Korone that made me like her so much compared to the other holos who spoke with a similar voice.

Yeah, there's really just nobody quite like Korone, and that's what you want to see in a Holo talent (I feel like this about Pekora and Suisei too). She's just innately the way she is, striving for a personally set standard rather than the popularity of the mainstream, and that's why she doesn't burn out.
I like Ollie, but she's emblematic to me of the other chuubas who make being loud and chaotic their brand in a forced way. People keep framing it as some sort of sad thing, and her process of getting here is a little bittersweet, but I'm glad she's shifted her persona away from something inauthentic that was draining her. Kayfabe is great, but it's only sustainable when there's something real in it.

It's a legitimate accent, just very distinct. It's a mix of Kansai-ben and an undisclosed rural accent from one of her parents. IIRC, she actually tones it down when she streams, but you can hear it get unintentionally stronger after the periods when she's done extended stays with relatives.

She's a little more toned down these days, so I'd try giving her another shot and see how you feel. She's just not tryharding as much to be insane enough to stand out. Sperg incoming:
She feels like being "crazy" isn't unique, and has been done to further extents than she can by talents like Haachama. Additionally, she feels she's hit a wall in what she can do as a Holo talent, having already accomplished all of her goals and feeling like she's not of outstanding skill (not exceptionally talented in "hard" skills like art, singing, etc) where she can push even higher.
I think it's mostly that she's burnt out trying to make a character misaligned with her natural self stand out in a sea of talent, and her underappreciating the link she provides between branches with her conversational and linguistic skill. But she seems at peace with things and resolved to just continue onwards at her own pace, as herself.

I mean, that has always been the case with the popular JP males, they might appeal to gachikois here and there but it's never the only and main thing they have going for them, and even then I wouldn't consider any of that to be coomer fanservice.

I agree that vtubing is for otaku and if you don't like attracting them there is not much you can do about it other than stream without a model. The only suggestion I have to get a completely different audience while vtubing is to pander to vtweeters, tumblrites and gendies getting a western, tumblr styled or furry avatar. I doubt it's what you'd like to hear but I know some people who have a non-otaku chill audience of fellow gendies where mentions of fanservice, sexualization or loli is too problematic to ever be mentioned. This is the only other somewhat sizable audience for vtubing I've found.

If you can't stand woke gendies either idk what to tell you though, cartoon avatars will attract either type of autism so pick your poison. If you want a normal audience don't do vtubing, just do camless.

Anyone know when contract renewals happen in Nijisanji? Is it possible that she has several more months in her contract, but they're going to make her sit it out, as punishment for misbehaving?
Maybe they know it's too desirable for her to graduate and start a new life asap. It might be more detrimental to her fanbase if she's stuck in the niji dungeon for several months.

I've been thinking about this for so long. How do people even manage? I guess from what I gather Vshojo (and probably Holo) do edit stuff etc but I've heard Scarle talk about needing to hire her own staff to edit the videos. So they probably need to hire editors and prior for projects anyways. When I look at creators who have a team, it makes sense. How are these streamers managing almost daily streams (where they have to be entertaining) and then recording music in top of that?
The must famous streamers I know of stream and talk and are interesting. But they usually don't do extra stuff like songs, karaoke etc. All you find on yt are clips front streams.
Vtubing is probably more draining if you go the idol route and STILL do streams.
Plus, I don't get the point. Fans are still divided into stream watchers, clip watchers and music listeners.
Kyo didn't really do music, but I've seen old videos where he talks about but knowing if he would be fine before he had brain surgery. Tbh, his videos were more fun. I'm not surprised he can't keep all this up. It's much more time consuming than a few videos a week.

this might be bad for your view count, but try giving less verbal responses to your viewers because if they don't receive attention then they will probably also feel less need to type in chat to get noticed. the streamers i watch who have clean chats are those who don't respond much because they're busy with something, so chat occupies themselves with shorter messages and wholesome spam of emotes and messages when needed. pretend you're too busy with something on stream like gaming or that you're too deep in another topic to respond to their messages? this might make your chat slower or kill your view count but having a chat you like enough to continue streaming is probably important. there are streamers who just do solo ranting streams

This is really starting to feel like Niji ID and KR's exoduses, just a little more strategically spread out. Will not be shocked if we hear about another not too soon after this.
Vtubers from Niji and Holo can go on breaks. They can go on long breaks or stream sporadically. It's always been an option. Leaving the corpo is just more preferable than riding out whatever issues these livers are experiencing. Like with Sana, she left because of her health issues, and leaving made sense instead of going on hiatus while she recovered, because she wanted to pivot back to focusing on her career as an illustrator. Kyo doesn't have similar prospects, so you have to wonder what pushed the hard separation for him.

For talents in Hololive who are pulling in $100k+ USD per year, I guess it makes sense to put the rest of your life on hold and go all in on this. A lot of them are probably making money equal to or greater than a fairly educated professional.
I don't know specifically about Kyo's income, but I would suppose a lot of the more mid-tier talents in Niji or small corpos are making more like $10-50k a year in a field that may or may not be popular in another 5 years.
I wonder if at some point it's time to say, "Well, I'm almost 30. I can't live with my parents forever. This isn't retirement or house-buying money. It's time to go back to school and finish that degree."
Blogpost but as someone vtubing, even just a few hours for fun, I'm beginning to realize it does, in fact, take work and time to be a vtuber, especially if you want to be a GOOD one. Streaming itself takes time, but do you want to cover songs? Make music videos? Commission animations? Come up with fun projects to impress your audience? All that stuff takes time and money, and if any of these talents also have a part-time or full-time job, the time spent vtubing or preparing to vtube is time you weren't with family, taking care of yourself by exercising or cooking, touching grass.
Sure, you could just sit your ass down at a PC and stream vidya for 15 hours a week, but that's probably not enough for most fans unless you have a super captivating personality or a cult following, like Gura. Any vtuber worth their salt will be innovating and trying out new technologies and projects that take a lot of work.

Anon, deep breath, in and out… In and out… It's gonna be okay. It's just vtubers. Not everyone who you dislike or disagree with is a moid. Believe it or not, women aren't a hivemind. I'm not coming for your favorite or saying they're a piece of garbage for not making a million dollars like Gura, and I'm sorry my wording of calling Niji 'mid' upset you.
My whole point is that, yes, Niji has some people making great money like Vox ($1 million+ in superchats) and Mysta (~$600k) or people making money that allows them to comfortably stay at home with family or even purchase a home.
However, I wouldn't apply Vox money or Selen money as a generalizability to all of Niji.
Kyo's total superchats are estimated to be around $80k from Playboard. Not sure if there's a better source, but I'd guess it's similar on other websites.
Not sure how much of that actually goes to the talents, but let's be generous and assume they're making 50% of those superchats (doubt, it's probably less.) Making $40k over a year and a half isn't… a TON for most parts of the USA. Maybe enough to buy a humble home or apartment in a cheap part of the country, and perhaps buy groceries for your family. You could re-invest some of it into a flashy music video or animation. You'd really have to be pinching pennies to set up any kind of retirement fund for your future, if you're a forward-thinking person.
For some people, that might be perfectly fine, especially if the alternative is working a regular minimum-wage job. However, I'd bet that a lot of vtubers are intelligent in their own ways. Clearly they're alright with tech, and have some social skills. If they don't have a college degree, a lot of them could probably do quite well getting one and pursuing a more long-term career.
Alternatively, they could leave Nijisanji and hope to strike it out as an indie or Vshojo, where they'll have much more freedom and probably less of their incomes taken.
Tl;dr: Obviously we can't 100% say the financial situation or life goals of everyone in Nijisanji. The income probably goes a lot further in some countries, like Indonesia. But if you're making $30-50k a year (if you're NOT Luxiem or part of the first few gens that came out during the vtuber boom), is it absolute insanity to say, "You know what, I'm 28, I'm going to go get a college degree"? I don't think so.

Even the worst performing (in terms of numbers) in NijiEN, Aster, still seems to be doing OK financially. Depending on where they live, everyone in NijiEn has a roughly middle class level of income.
I don't think it's moids, but it does seem like most people in these threads don't follow NijiEn's talents as a whole.

Not defending Niji, all corporate jobs will suck one way or another, but the only Niji grad to be a shock or indicative of deeper misgivings BTS was Pomu since a lot of people (including me) thought she was devoted to Niji and will stick around no matter what.
All the other grads were kind of expected and seemed like they were more influenced by reasons other than the company.

Yugo was crazy menhera and obviously couldn't handle being corpo, but left on good terms with everyone.
Zaion was crazy menhera, but also almost cost them Nintendo perms, possibly put other perms/sponsorships at risk; terminated and left on bad terms with everyone.
Nina had a rocky start fitting in; both in terms of meshing in with some of the other livers as well as the (sub)cultural difference between vtubing as a western indie on twitch vs under a Japanese corpo. But it was all resolved amazingly well, which made her grad bittersweet but still kind of expected.
Mysta is yet another menhera, but had the most financial incentive to stay. People may gripe about the difference in opportunities between the JP and EN livers, but Luxiem is insanely successful and had way more opportunities than most other livers in the company. Despite his financial success, it really looked like his mental health kept getting worse and he didn't seem like he could handle having to be "Mysta". His grad felt overdue if anything.
Kyo definitely has ambitions outside of Niji, and I think anyone who found out about his PL will know it was gonna happen sooner rather than later. It's a bit of a bummer, but I do think he made a good move since he's so young and already has other prospects outside of vtubing.

Like with any career in the entertainment industry, success is fickle. Most online personalities and creators have a hard time maintaining relevance, I can only imagine it'll be even harder as a Vtuber with a significantly nicher audience pool. I feel like it should be expected that a lot of the "mid-sized" corpo vtubers will inevitably leave even if they're currently successful. People who act like it's drama worthy must be young or ignorant to how the world works.

IDC about shilling of corpos or vtubers or whatever. What's weird is when people get aggressively defensive or tribalistic or push objectively problem-fraught chuubas.

I don't think it's surprising, considering where Bettel started out. He's been doing it long enough to know how to avoid controversy. His fans archived his old videos and he's always been funny. Just moved from edgy humour to more PC stuff. It wasn't really bad imo, but enough to get Twitter cancelled for sure. I'm surprised the Vtuber hating commentary channels aren't trying to use old videos of his to hate on all chuubas. They do that with Gura.

I mean, it's been tried a plenty of times (Vox, Ike, Calli, Nina, the list goes on). It just never gains proper traction because of the nature of the medium. The only time past life really haunts a vtuber is when it's their notably famous vtuber PL haunting them, like Mikeneko. Stuff from your nobody days isn't worth much salt to the average fan. The only people who care about that stuff are the people who already were looking for reasons to hate you (Calli is probably the biggest example of this), and it doesn't spread.
People actually like Bettel so it's plenty easy to divorce anything from his past from his current persona. I've definitely seen his old content brought up a few times, but it's always along the lines of, "I was worried when he debuted but what a delight that he turned out so seiso!"

The one who was dating/marrying the Wimbledon meme dude and everyone freaked out.) from that one channel that's known for pretty weather girls. Her debut was also nice and fun.
I personally started simping when she said she wanted to kabedon her senpais. It was hard to find her again after that but I figured, “How many pink fluffs could Hololive have?”
Plenty. But she still stands out.
Tldr; she does a lot of collabs, streams consistently and is sussy. What's not to like?

Her main thing is being the biggest numberfag in Hololive if you'll excuse the /vt/ terminology. She's up there with Kaela in terms of total streaming hours but while Kaela just likes to nolife grindy games Koyori is constantly making an effort to do "event" streams (not sure how to translate 企画), she's usually the first or one of the first in Hololive to stream big FOTM hype games (in the context of streaming, so things like the watermelon game, Palworld, etc.), she basically just tries really hard. Ultimately I don't think she's a great streamer naturally, she tries to match the energy of other Holo streamers like Pekora but without having the same charisma or entertainment value in my opinion, but she's become very successful because as long as there are people awake in Japan there's an 80% chance that Koyori will be streaming something interesting so she ends up getting a ton of viewers outside of prime time when most of the more popular members aren't streaming.

The fact is, most people are in two categories: penis havers who get a boner from this, and vagina havers who find it highly artificial and distasteful.
I'm not saying that no one here is allowed to watch them, and I believe that they are hard workers and a handful of anons find them relatable and wonderful. But it's not that farfetched that a lot of anons would be turned off by this behavior, even weeb anons.

At the end of the day, lolcow is a drama board, and this is the vtuber board. I think most anons on this particular thread avoid the hardcore drama.

AYRT. I don't go on Twitter and mostly watch clips. And I think MC is cuter, but FW's baby talk has never hit the annoying limits. Yes, the loud collabs with everyone screeching in high pitched voices hit an unpleasant part of the brain.
Considering the fact that there was complete silence for a bit, I was under the impression that the reaction to men was planned. Badly. The comment section on that video was creepy, ngl. But still kinda funny. The worst part was actually that the “protecting our smile” comments were not removed, while others were.
Considering their target demographic, it makes sense. I don't feel filtered yet. I'm not 100% sold, but I do relate.
And I've seen porn with friends. It was funny.

The more you read this the worse it gets. The last paragraph implies that Selen was indeed being bullied, but she deserved it for creating a situation and not kneeling before management.
Honestly they should have gone with 'both parties have mutually agreed to not continue with the contract.'
Also idk how to post Twitter sound files on here but Enna just uploaded a clip of her singing a stupid meme song. Incredibly tone deaf, no pun intended. If I were in Niji and even if I disliked Selen, I'd take a day or two off and at least pretend to be sad.

I thinks it's an open secret dealing with all the corporate red tape is an issue for the livers, but to hear that (allegedly) both Selen and other livers may be accusing each other of harassment is sad. We all know that not everyone in a corpo can all be friends, but it's shocking that things were escalating to that level behind the scenes. There's a lot of NijiEN livers I like and enjoy watching, but I'm gonna take a break for a while.

Am I the only person who doesn't give a fuck that Selen was fired? I know people make a big deal about not supporting le big company vs. indie vtuber, but if you breach contract multiple times, you're gonna get fired, simple as.

Samefag, I'm not even a hardcore Niji follower, but it's not like it's just Selen's POV vs. Niji staff POV. There's months of many livers, even the most dedicated ones, feeling upset and frustrated with the staff.
If something like this happened in Holo, people would still be sad and frustrated, but I think people would move on quicker because Holo has a better track record, at least publicly. See: Yozora Mel's termination a few weeks ago.

I wonder who the common denominator might be…
Tbh idc if Nijisanji says "oh she broke rules #407 and 591", it's clear this has been an ongoing problem for years and this was just the boiling point. Selen was probably facing more frustration due to being a streamer who actually tries to set up special events, rather than just showing up to game a few times a week. Of course they'll cite Muh Contract and how Selen broke it in an attempt to get the first word in before she spills more details, but tbh I think that's maybe 10% of the story at most.

This is basically how Facebook treats moderators from overseas who need visas. “You broke this one minor rule like no smoking, so I won't take any action against you if you work 80 hours this week.”

Are we all gonna gloss over Niji casually throwing their talents under the bus for bullying, or is this somehow Selen's fault, too? Legitimately interested in hearing a take from one of the 'but the contract' posters in this thread.
Everyone is on a witchhunt and pointing fingers at every Niji member, but that's the only thing you could expect from adding that in a public statement. Is this supposed to make Niji look good?

I didn't watch Selen at all and don't give a shit about her, but I think the way this has been handled shows its bigger than just her breaking a few rules and why it's such a mess. Considering it's been common knowledge that management sucks and even Pomu jumped ship, I don't see how criticizing Nijisanji means it's a Selen circlejerk. She probably did do shit she wasn't supposed to, but also their rules and processes seem unclear and the notice Anycolor posted was petty for a company. Compared to when Rushia's contract was terminated, Cover just posted a short notice that she broke rules and that was it, not a paragraphs long defense.

I never watched Selen but Niji looks like their EN management has had various problems with clear communication across levels and being a manager that's paying attention and checking in on a project regularly enough. Problems that they haven't bothered to do much with. And if Selen's claim of being bullied is pretty much flatly true and she was picked on much more disproportionately compared to a standard fight/argument, there's that not paying much attention issue again. Ultimately because the whole corpo vtuber job is still a luxury job to have it's not the end of the world, but there seems to be a lot of missed potential going on from muddy communication in management at minimum

No. 353825

There's no way to know for sure because she hasn't explicitly said that to be the case, but there was that clip of a members only stream where she was crying about management denying her a huge opportunity, which certainly doesn't look good.

I believe Selen. Permitting bullying has historically been an issue for Nijisanji. Most notably with the KR branch– the constant flow of graduations from the branch even prior to the merger was due to internal bullying from a liver who had already been well-known as a bully in her PL prior to hiring.

If it's these two it would explain why Rosemi but not Petra out of her genmates responded to her tweet.
The saddest part of Selen's drama to me has been the way her BPD has been weaponized against her by people in the know. She was an incredibly productive and stable liver and when people first found out about it from her PL, the general consensus was that you never would have guessed. But now that she looks bad for the company (WITH more obviously justifiable reasons than any other ex-EN liver) so many suddenly think she's just an irrational BPD woman intentionally producing drama where there is none. It makes me so sad.
INB4 somebody calls me BPD, I'm not. I just understand that the weaponization of BPD diagnoses (which is, btw, very overdiagnosed in ignorance of the many real reasons deteriorating women's mental health) is a feminist issue.

Wouldn't be the first time they lost one of the biggest members of a branch due to bullying, too.

I don't think people are necessarily mad at Selen for her occasional dumb violations, but she is at fault for not reeling back her fanbase full of entitled manchildren attacking everyone and everything like its scorched earth. I think some branch management restructuring and paradoxically more restrictions on the livers would do them good, because its clear most of them aren't miserable and the ones who are were for personal reasons or have already left.

For what it's worth, Selen mentioned internal bullying, keeping it vague enough that no one had solid evidence to suspect the tubers themselves being bullies, as opposed to a manager or staff member.
However, it's Niji themselves who confirm that it is their own talents doing the bullying, in an official letter.
Possibly hot take: it's not Selen's job to defend Nijisanji from Nijisanji.
Nijisanji made an official letter saying 'yeah some of our talent are bullies', and now Nijisanji is under fire for saying 'yeah some of our talents are bullies.'
Who coulda thunk.
But seriously, Selen mentioned going to sleep 6 hours ago, so she could very well be asleep or staying off the internet for a few hours. Nijisanji can protect Nijisanji by doing actual damage control, like, hours ago.

I think seeing three livers leave within the span of a little over a month and thinking that things are over is a little unrealistic.
I get that the Dragoons are annoying, but the good outweighed the bad. There's no way Niji was planning on announcing Selen's terminatiom before Kyo's graduation, it's likely their hand was forced by all of the outcry. Even her mama spoke publicly on the issue. And I'm glad that she was released sooner than later so that she can get back to business.
Management needs a huge overhaul. In addition to more than one Selen artist coming out of the woodwork to say that Selen paid them out of pocket after management was truant on payment, an ex-employee of Niji who left for Holo said that livers excluding management from projects was the norm due to management severely underpaying commissions. Citing an instance where a liver paid $500 out of pocket for something that management only wanted to pay $20 for as an example. This isn't a, "They need to wrangle talents better" situation, it's a, "They need to do their jobs" situation.

I've never been a dragoon, but I've been hardcore defending her on this board today, because the pro-corpo stuff just isn't working for me, when we've had various vtubers speak out against niji.

Yeah, I'm a little confused at everyone who's going 'oh typical BPD behavior' in this thread… Has Selen ever done anything wrong in her several years of Nijisanji before this? From what I understand, she did a great job promoting the company and planning events despite management pushback.
I wonder if this is a death by 1,000 papercuts scenario - for years Selen puts up with lack of response from managers, events being cancelled, big collaborations being lost, then the 1 time she rebels by tweeting 'Oh no management privated my video' it's 'Aha! I knew she was an insane BPD contract breaker!'

All the people boycotting the company are idiots to me. They always forgot about it in a week and will be back to their daily vtuber posting. It's better to not say anything about the drama and stick to your own oshi. Everyone right now is just grifting off of the situation, making posts about how glad they are they were rejected by the company to mentioning random issues with contracting.

No. 353891

I'm still not sure why the company was even that detailed in the statement versus something short. Rep damage to the ones remaining at Niji would still possibly hurt the revenue in like a cold logical money way, right? Were they trying to beat Doki to the punch somehow by stating the harrassment situation outright instead of being caught in a stance where they have to be reactive on the fly to the things she could say?
>>353890
But more than once the company has contributed to unstable situations that lead to this kind of sudden publicly viewable surprise, isn't becoming open to the vultures simply the natural consequences? And regardless of how many stick to their convictions it's actually better if people can easily make the decision to drop a vtuber or a company at the drop of a hat if they don't like something. Keeps an entertainment company from getting too relaxed. The main unfair thing is if Kyo's graduation gets tied in since that simply seems like him still being young and seeing more engaging opportunities somewhere else

Don't listen to what 99% of indie vtubers are saying, there's way too much "W-why won't Hololive accept me, I've been drawing anime since 2008 and I like vidya, I only have 2 ccv but I'd be perfect…" (am indie vtuber kek.)
But actually, I was hoping to get more into Niji a few weeks ago, especially after a lot of anons recommended Selen. Now, I don't want to watch any of niji, even if some of the individual talents are wonderful. It feels like it's only a matter of time before they all (fairly enough) reincarnate into Vshojo, and I just don't wanna be brought along for the emotional rollercoaster ride. In Hololive or hell, even Phase Connect and other smaller groups, most the talents seem pretty happy and seem like they stay for years, even if their output slows down.
I don't like the whole graduation thing, even when there's a good chance they'll reincarnate 6 months later. I'm fragile…

Other than a few obvious bait posts, this thread has been the most sane compared to other sites so far.

As someone who's a fan of a lot of the NijiEN livers including Selen, but not the company, there's not many places to vent anonymously without feeling my braincells dying lmao.
She's fumbled before with perm issues and was a bit unprofessional in how she aired her grievances like with the Fall Guys tournament IIRC, but she's also done a shit ton for the branch as well as for fans of the branch. She's mentioned how she's been given the newer managers to help them train because she's largely self-sufficient, so I hate seeing people say she's always been irresponsible when it clearly isn't always the case. Her even doing so many big events just showcases how incompetent the NijiEN management is if anything since she shouldn't have had to pick up the slack.

There's 100% bullying amongst immature adults, including workplaces and graduate schools. Idk exactly what it looks like for a majority online company like Niji, but I've definitely seen grown ass adults do stuff like: loudly whispering about the victim to a friend in a work setting, making ugly faces during victim's work presentations, purposefully leaving people out of important emails, and so on.
Not sure your age, and I truly hope you never face it, but some adults act like stupid teenagers their whole lives. You'll find it among a select few even in the most prestigious settings.
Bullying might look a little different in an online setting, but it could honestly be anything. Giving Selen nicknames she doesn't want, leaving her out of important collabs and groupchats, making 'jokes' about her sensitive spots, and so on.

They don't want a repeat of the Sayu situation. I feel like the first few weeks after going to old identity is where you expect ranting the most and they wanna be more pitiful than Selen. Which is hard when you've seen things like “Annual report says EN isn't making money cz they need more Vtubers.” and it's not even profits, usually. It's profitability, which is dumb af.
>>353738
In this case, there's a clip of her mentioning that she did, in fact, personally DM the producer to ask for permission. And she told him to email her mangement. I think that's what the workflow thingy in >>353690 means. She was expected to wait for management to come through but the producer (Ryan Higa, I think) didn't know there was an email to reply to. She mentioned asking him to reply.
They're actively lying about the music related stuff, AFAIK. If they wanted to be specific, they could've mentioned the specific parties like they mentioned specific Rule (which they didn't actually tell us what it was. Do they want Selen to do it and violate NDA?)

It is that hard when we know for a fact that nijiEN management is useless at best, working against you at worst. It is also known that the 'talent manager' for EN is very likely some random nepo hire that doesn't have any qualifications. The current rrat is that since he is still under UMG contract, he didn't let Pomu have her once in her lifetime opportunity because it was with a different record label.
Also why would you take the Japanese version of the letter as the main one when we're talking about an EN talent? the English one is the main one.

Was there anything genuinely concerning in the Bitch Catalogue? I watched a few of the videos linked and it seemed like an oversensitive child who thought their siblings making fun of them was abuse. That's like saying Enna's jokes about killing Nina were genuine death threats. IMO, they were funny.
Maybe I missed something though. Any links?
Excluding Nina from Discord calls is even worse in the context of Millie once saying (this is in an old Collab with Luca) that if she (Millie) joined a Discord call and someone just leaves, she wonders if she did something wrong.
“At least say Bye!”
I think Millie knows how things look and is particularly aware of how people feel, so if she chooses to ignore everyone's feelings but her own, that's not a good look. It means either she only recognised and cares about her own feelings or she understands others but didn't care. I'm assuming she's not malicious.
Niji got what they wanted with their employees fighting instead of them. I wouldn't be surprised if they threw Livers under the bus on purpose.
Also: what, exactly, is bait here? We like Doki and want her to move forward. Not ones gonna start a bitch catalogue for Millie. Or whoever the bullies turn out to be. We have other priorities, like breaking Vtuber CCV records for Doki stream.

Interesting. According to Cy Yu (who is a VA that has multiple roles in anime and Hoyo, so his claims of having gottrn far in the audition process are probable), while an unspecified other agency, presumably Holo, asked him to prioritize work with them over his VA career if he joined, when interviewing with Niji, he was rejected full stop because they wanted him to quit voice acting outside of affliation with Niji completely.
I already knew that Holo permits PL activity after a certain time period, but the information that Niji EN so strongly prohibits it was new to me. Ironic considering that Niji EN livers are on average more likely to need the supplemental income or suffer from favoritism when it comes to opportunities.
Not to say that this applies to all branches or all types of other work, given examples like Sukoya Kana, Harusaki Air, and most of the exID branch being confirmed to have day jobs,but it does sound like entertainment type jobs are banned.

I'm not sure how popular this theory is, but I thinks it's at least somewhat commonly speculated they can't use their voice for other projects unless it's as their Niji persona.
All the livers who started being active on PL accounts or made alts have never used their voice as far as I'm aware. I think the only exception was when Enna was credited as her PL in a song by her friend, but she got in trouble for it and hasn't done it since.

Man IG that makes sense, but if I was a creator whose only marketable skillset was voice-based entertainment (as opposed to being able to transition into another career path if things go south) I'd definitely skip Niji. Your finances would bank way too much on popularity that isn't even guaranteed.
Although at least for women, IDT anybody that could go to Holo would go to Niji? Pomu gets used as an example a lot, but Niji did take a risk hiring her and it made sense that Holo didn't because she'd only been streaming for a brief time when her PL graduated.

AYRT, sorry, should've explained myself better! There's absolutely nothing noteworthy in the bitch catalog, but it used to be brought up elsewhere to villianize Nina. The RPR unfollowing Enna & Millie is just false 4chan bait and shouldn't be taken seriously the same way the bitch catalogue shouldn't be taken seriously.
The other 3 Ethyria members were friends before joining and didn't intentionally leave her out, but also didn't make an effort to include her. It seems like it was a situation where they kept making small mistakes and misunderstanding each other. They cleared up their misunderstandings and made up a long time ago at this point.
Millie seems like she can be kind of sensitive and reactionary, but I don't think she's malicious.
I'm rooting for Selen/Doki too, and not to be a numberfag, but I hope she finally reaches the 1mil milestone!

They actually do it more. There's info in fleshtuber circles about women voluntarily going on Redpill podcasts and then getting an increase in OnlyFans revenue.
Men literally try to neg women into sex. (Video attached).
>>354111
Yes, they would. Not because of standards (they still would fuck the women they insult in a heartbeat), but because they're more like gossipy old ladies than ACTUAL gossipy old ladies.
>>353983
I think it depends. Women don't follow other women for looks, but personality (I project). A sus/GFE dude is different. If he was hot, I bet a lot of the men would've hated him cz they'd assume he got laid. He's mid, so he's probably “friends” with them (trying to screw then when they're vulnerable). The few unicorns are fine for now cz they don't think he has a chance with the oshis. You want honest opinions? Try reddit, 4ch etc.

Manifestelle works hard at the theory portion (Theory: most men are assholes but there's a good one out there, so be picky). Abba & Preach just go and expose other men on the OF women thing (Men are assholes because they don't think you'll fuck them but they want to. And they hate the guy who may have a chance.)

Still not convinced it's real, but leaks have come out alleging that Aster is responsible for harrassment in NijiEN as well, not in the Selen situation but of the female livers from Iluna onwards. Supposed route of these leaks is from Scarle>Luca>one of his mods.

No. 354375

>>354373
Aster has to be the most ignored NijiEN, I rarely ever hear about him or see him even in tangential contexts to others. Read some negative things about his attitude before but I had never actually watched him so I tried to not make a judgement. So if it's fake it's because he's disposable and easy to target onto to take some heated attention away as a distraction, but if it's real then it shows more of being unable to trust that management was ever able to tard wrangle okay enough

People have analyzed the artefacting on the caps and determined that ay the very least, they're not shooped. The conversation itself would have to be an actual Discord RP that was then screenshared to a third account, and then the caps would have had to been redistributed multiple times to result in the variance in quality between the 3. Not impossible, but really high effort if fake.

Like it or not, it's politics, the same you would find in any other company.

Former corporate vtuber mask-off moment I know I know but it's not like any other former niji or holo members were any better.

AYRT Lol? Did anybody actually sane care about her alleged body count? I've looked into her PL a lot too and honestly the only thing I can really criticize about her is that she initially marketed herself as a litfag when she's actually just really into a couple genres. She's just a dork who does light GFE and has an unfortunately insane fanbase.

No. 354434

>>354431
Yeah agreed, she's always been a numberfag because she approaches this from a serious career angle. I don't think there's anything wrong with that as long as the chuuba isn't manipulative about it/fails to actually produce content deserving of the numbers.
An example of a negative numberfag to me would be Magni. He delivered good content while he was active as a Stars member, but would get menhera over numbers + he actually said in a Lando stream late last year that he was disappointed in the lack of loyalty from his magmite fanbase postgrad. His numberfaggery also negatively impacts his content because he can't stick to one thing and keeps doing lowhanging coomery shit for easy clicks.
Doki OTOH has a consistent brand and grinds on it while also innovating and bringing benefit to others.

Magni often seems/ed like he fundamentally lacks basic gratitude and at least some understanding that ultimately no viewer or potential viewer owes any streamer anything at all, even one minute of watch time.

It made me so happy when she debuted because she fills a similar voice/personality niche to Ange Katarina from Niji, who I also used to yume for… Except Ao-kun is less of a coomer and plays a lot more heavily into the "'GFE' for girls" angle. Plus the added bonus that I love all of ReGloss.

I thought I was a sucker for drama but I feel so tired of the Selen stuff, it looks like every shameless grifter in the scene is flocking to this situation for clout, so many supposedly reasonable people in the community going completely berserk, it's like the whole scene turned into the worst parts of /vt/ for a week except with this insufferable "we did it reddit" energy. It's like a greatest hits of cringeworthy internet behavior too, the people looking at relatively minor fluctuations in Anycolor's stock price that they go through every few months and claiming that it's proof that they're finished, the small literally whos making big announcements about no longer working with/covering Nijisanji (not Hyte since I think that's kinda big, I mean shit like clip channels and people who sell hand made merch at cons or whatever), like, I've never particularly liked NijiEN since I think many of their more popular livers seem kinda trashy (and before those joined they just kinda felt like a discount HoloEN) but I find myself hating all the bloodthirsty weirdos foaming at the mouth to shit on them even more. And while I actually liked Selen from what I saw of her (mostly collabs with other people I followed more closely) I am so tired of the le wholesome reddit warriors propping her up I'm almost wishing she'd just fuck off.

Vtubing has really attracted some of the worst subsets of online culture to its ranks and the ugliness really came out in spades here.

Assuming it's real, I'd like to point out its Scale we're talking about. People-pleaser, scared of offending anyone, zero boundaries Scarle. Idk how common it is to be in VCs but getting talked over and ignored is annoying. My solution has been to just text and tag people. Scarle presumably asked him why he's quiet. And he told her. With no tact. It's not her fault he gets talked over. It's like being in a Live Chat.
I haven't seen much of him so I can't say how coomer he is, but those messages (assuming they're genuine) look like a regular argument between friends. And he's the whiny childish one.
I kinda forget he even existed. Him having the guts to bully Selen? Doubtful. He's definitely a scapegoat at best. Tbh, I wouldn't be too surprised if he leaked it himself to finally get some attention.

I think it's a case of them both being weird people, it's been known for a while that she was partially upset because she funded the start of his vtuber career. Which, yeah, I'd be upset about too given how things turned out, but she shouldn't have been giving so much money to a guy that much younger than her.
If everything here is true, though, I do agree that Luca is the worse one.
Anybody have QRD on what she's referring to when she talks about people excusing poor behavior from him on account of his upbringing?

NTA but I think it's fake mostly because it's coming from the "source" is just a random post from 4chan. If you want to start a good rrat, just make a post on 4chan and pray one of those banned vtuber meme accounts on twitter retweets it. The holofags will surely eat it up. Besides, someone mentioned how certain things didn't align with the timing of those screenshots.

Double-posting to add, but Raziel herself seems like a cow as well, or at the very least an e-thot beggar. I could care less if Luca turns out to be a creep because I can't even be bothered to watch him, but everyone involved trying to further push against Niji is all annoying as well. Is it just normal for vtubers to be constantly riding drama waves for attention? In Raziel's own screenshot, she's clearly acting obsessive. I would not have shared this if I were her.

Oh. I didn't read all the posts and I don't see Aster much so thanks for the tldr. I thought it was Luca because he does a convincing girl voice. I didn't think he was in a position to harass Selen. My point wasn't about defending him, but that it's normal to get talked over by others (usually males) in VC and it's not something that Scarle can fix individually. That's typical moid behaviour: take it out on the person who gives a shit. That's an explanation based on experience, not a defense. It's common and frustrating and NOT her fault. And then there's my desire for Scarle to stop giving a shit, but she's too sweet for that so that's just wishful thinking. She can't make him feel better, and she should stop trying because it's not her job.
I didn't notice how fast he got whiny, so thanks for pointing that out.

Honestly given the track record of clearly Nijisanji themselves posting on 4chan with previous leaks, I don't think saying the source is from 4chan makes the claim as ridiculous as it sounds.

No, the it showing her in a call with Luca and the images are artefacted the way they are makes it more likely that these are caps of a screenshare with Luca. It's generally presumed that the leak got outside of Niji through him.

>Aster and Scarle had an unscheduled impromptu collab today

Agreed. I'm just of the opinion that he genuinely isn't at fault for much other than taking advantage of her free time and friendship. All that's been confirmed about Raziel is
>met Luca when he was underage and she was married
>paid for him to get a model to join her egyptian themed vtuber family
>left her husband for him when Luca became an adult
>became a mod for him when he joined nijisanji

If he was in fact 18 like she claims, then sure, an 18 year old + a 24 year old is a bit dubious and may have some power imbalances, but I wouldn't call it 'grooming.' It's like a college freshman dating someone in grad school.
I just feel like calling literally everything 'grooming' dilutes the meaning of the word and will make people take actual predators less seriously.

Hold up, does she have 'Java' rated as 5 hearts and her own husband rated as 4 stars? I don't know how much of this is literal and how much of it is ~lore~ but kek.
I read her first few tweets but there was one super long wall of text yesterday that I can't make myself sit through.
As usual with these scenarios, I bet the truth is somewhere in the middle. I can believe that Luca had someone doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes, and I can also believe that this woman may be troubled and terminally online.

The worst and most suspicious part is that the stream was originally supposed to be on Scarle's channel as seen on her schedule, so not only it became a collab but it was also moved to Aster's channel, where Scarle was going "support my boi Aster he deserves it" on chat.

i can see why they forced the collab - scarle and especially aster are by no means the most popular livers in niji, so random twitter users who saw the leaks likely dont watch them and have no clue about the state of their relationship, especially considering they have few formal one on one collabs. i guess the stream was meant to appease/convince those people, however both do seem to be genuinely friendly with each other, and are often in each other's chat, and join each other's streams in VC frequently. whatever happened, the leaks are pretty old so they must have patched up the relationship or something because they often hang out and even planned to fly to japan together for the iluna offcollab.

I think a lot of them are good finds for various reasons, but Bettel and Ruze are tied for best recruits in terms of talent as character streamers to me. I love it when they interact, I hope they collab more when Bettel's better.
From the sound of things, Ruze was actually scouted as opposed to applying of his own initiative, which gives me a lot of confidence in the hiring staff.

If anons come here just to stir up nonsense, like >>354463 getting upset over Shiori potentially having a boyfriend, they get banned. Alogging is insta ban anywhere on this website.

I have a weird soft spot for eroge because I grew up terminally online from age 10 or so and started playing eroge at like 12.
But also, as an adult now, I do have a lot of problems with it, mostly that it's centered around high school or younger girls. Adult women are attractive, and it's weird that anime pretends they're not.
I'm assuming this is related to Fuwamoco, since usually eroge discourse in this thread is related to FWMC.
I'll say what I always say: It's FWMC's right to be adult women and enjoy those kinds of games. It's anons right on this thread to enjoy FWMC and their love of eroge. It's also my right to find it odd and cringeworthy that two 30+ year old Canadian twins are barking, speaking incomprehensible Engrish, and pretending men don't exist for pay online.
Now I better not see any tweets going 'omg noooz they insulted my precious aidoru incest twins!!!1 E-bullies!' I think this is the most mild and polite criticism of Fuwamoco you could find on the interwebs.

Let me guess next you're gonna say fanservice in anime is just part of the culture therefore above criticism.
Playing eroge because you're a coomer is one thing, using it to farm engagement is not only giga cringe, it fosters a chat full of cumbrain retards who are incapable of shutting up about their piss and shit kink for 5 seconds, ruining the atmosphere for everyone. There's a reason why coombaiting tubers all eventually backpedaled and complain about brand risk and oversexualization from their viewer base.

>Axel
Incredibly unseiso man who says whatever comes to mind, so a lot of his VODs get deleted (aka not the best if you're the dedicated viewer type but can't make it to his streams). Socially well-adjusted and mentally very healthy so his degen moments don't rub me the wrong way the way a lot of male vtuber's do. Not much fanservice, closer to the brotuber end of the spectrum out of StarsEN. I mostly tune into his zatsus because he frequently shows a very insightful and mature perspective on life despite his age. Just a solidly nice guy. His fans call him aniki for a reason.

Neither are weird baity coomers IMO, they're solid streamers who have trusted the process through a rough start and endured to get where they are now. Interesting info is that they actually didn't have much syndergy at debut, and you can really tell they got close through working hard together post-MagNoir graduation.
Also worth noting that both of them are extremely straight, so if you're a fujochan (no judgement), you'll have to use your imagination.

Between the lyrics and the comments on the original vehemently denying that he did it to get clout off his ex-wife's new VA job, it's giving “it's me. Hi. I'm the problem it's me”.
The song is actually pretty decent if you don't know the story. All I can hear is “I'm being gaslit. I don't even know what I did wrong! DOESN'T ANYONE WANT ME TO BE HAPPY?” but I'm biased.

I hate to say this but as someone who's been following StarsEN since the HQ debuts I don't really watch either. Altare I guess is fine but I get filtered hard by his voice and generally cringe demeanor. Some people like those things, so if you do or at least have a higher cringe tolerance give him a try.
Axel though is a tragedy, I love his singing and personality but he's just not a good streamer. His schedules are erratic, he hardly ever streams anything interesting, he makes big enough mistakes often enough that rather than "cute" or "funny" it just becomes frustrating, people have been saying that he has a lot of potential since he debuted because everyone likes him and wants him to be good but if anything he's gotten worse over time. At least at first he had the enthusiasm and the early HQ unity, nowadays he'll spend entire weeks doing nothing but 2 hour long guerrilla of some boring game not even he cares about, but then he'll show up in an 8 hour long League of Legends session in some random Japanese woman's twitch channel without mentioning it anywhere, so even if you're Axel starved enough to want to watch that you're probably not gonna know it's happening.

I prefer watching indies who are more laid back and don't bait a lot, more just casual gamers who just so happen to be vtubers. Of corporate vtubers, I watched only Enna, Pomu, and Kyo.

I think this is a little harsh. He's improved a lot and as for the current state of his channel, he's always made clear that during the stretches he spends in Japan, streaming takes a backseat. It does make him hard to kamioshi though as I think consistency is key if you want a lot of fans who show up for everything you do.

Most of StarsEN actually sounds up your alley in that case, I'd just avoid Flayon and Goldbullet. Given your taste, though, I think the other members might be more your speed. I respect ShinySpicy but unfortunately I agree with the nonna above that the later members are better as streamers and I don't find myself watching those two a ton.

Off topic rant but anon recommending Hakka reminded me of something. I like Hakka's voice and he's fun to watch but he's so gross sometimes. I keep malding by myself when he burps right into the mic. Is it that hard to mute for a second? Why are men so open about being gross? Wish we could shame male vtubers into acting like human beings. Fulgur also just revealed that his new model will be a hairy bara model. I feel like we've given men too much freedom with what they can do in vtubing. If the vtubing scene wasn't full of handmaidens defending moids like they're kpop moids we could be forcing men to keep pretty models and act decent on stream. It just feels more and more like vtubing is just streaming without showing your face, most of the popular ones are just normie burgers on twitch now. The vtubing culture is dead.

No. 355227

A lot of western moids seem to let fame get to their head and they end up thinking that they're actually funny and entertaining, so they end up having too much pride to even bother trying to act like a cute anime boy as they think they're now ''above'' it. I've seen this happen multiple times and it usually happens gradually because their fans don't ever give them shit when they start being obnoxiously gross.
>It just feels more and more like vtubing is just streaming without showing your face
This is also true, there's too many people that just want to hop on the trend without actually wanting to appeal to vtuber fans and they tend to look down on them and vtuber culture in general, even though that's supposed to be their audience.

men are not used to "performing" for women, and even if they perform, they see it as a temporary thing until they sleep with the girl or in this instance, until they create an audience. after they get what they want they all drop the act. like, you are vtuber, you were supposed to be a bishie anime boyfriend, why are you being gross? why are you sabotaging your own immersion? as much as i hate him i believe this is why shoto is fairly popular- as cringe as he is, he at least plays into the soft anime bf thing consistently

I always thought of her having a pretty good head on her shoulders but…

Anyways, they are not hired to be legal spokespeople for the company and discuss ongoing legal issues at any length, this is literally not their job. So, I see this and it’s like “Yeah, sure y’all. But seriously, legally, shut the fuck up.”

Vox and Ike I understand, because they were actually her friends, but why did management include Elira? Just to have her state that she and Millie were named in Selen's document and paint an even bigger target on their backs for bullying accusations?

Someone mentioned Elira is currently in Japan on a work visa and can't decline “suggestions” to prove her dedication to the company.
The screenshots at 4:43 look fake, especially if that's Discord. They could've kept the date but chose to write that on top.
5:23 The outfit contest thing has been brought up before. OMFG. They gave permissions and then withdrew.
I think they choose the British dude cz they want yumes to side with them and do extra PR. Ike and Vox have significant fanbases in China (and other Asian countries with white fever, like Korea) and AFAIK, significant funding comes from Chinese investors. I guess they took the joke about insulting a lunar dragon at Lunar New Year very seriously. Looks like they're trying to make it into a popularity contest. Some KR fans were pissed about Chinese NY instead of Lunar NY.
You know what's sad? In her videos (intro and outro) Vox is always there as a supportive figure. Like a best friend or maybe even more. Many Dragoons put up with him despite knowing his PL stuff because Selen liked him. Same with Ike. At least she wasn't stupid. Glad she recorded stuff when she did.
It could also be to provoke fans to dig deeper into the PLs of the 3 for harassment purposes.

For a legal case that only benefits yourself, Doki?No one leaked anything to be clear because no one can fucking think. Good job Doki on cultivating the internet’s parasocial pissbabies.

Doki is naive and ignorant. Overcome with emotion and can’t stop herself from ruining her every connection. Also her manager needs to STFU if he doesn’t want to hurt her case.

Because they felt betrayed by Selen Doki that they had to speak up. You’re so close to coming to that conclusion idk how you didn’t think about that.

She’s not sorry for what she did; she’s sorry it came out to the public that she recorded it. She cannot be trusted by anyone or she’ll use it against you one day.

Sucks that she felt so emotionally tortured she felt she needed to attempt something drastic and go to the hospital. Maybe she should’ve stayed under watch for longer and stay away from the internet. Self inflicted mess (in many ways) by an unstable youth.

Which is what?? Their flesh names and contact informations? You don’t think selen’s info is on that very same paper? Claims of misconduct isn’t “personal info” kek
This is the equivalence of going through your moid’s phone, finding out he’s cheating, and he DARVO’s you with the “you violated my privacy waaaah”. Even that scenario has more leg to stand on.

She’s the PLAINTIFF, of course her name and address would be in there. She wanted this case, but wasn’t smart enough to keep her mouth shut during the MV fiasco and even now. The other livers got dragged into this, like Vox and Ike. If you’re willing to backstab your friends and break their trust so that you can win money bucks from corpo, you cannot be trusted. Sneaky how she already had her merch ready to go and for sale so quickly after termination. As a former dragoon, I’m fucking sick of her and Niji. I was on her side before it came out that she’s just menhera but hasn’t been called out for it. Enjoy Zaoin Russia 2.0

Second every documentation within a company is under a nda as someone who has worked with a vtuber agency all of my documents are under nda if the company disclosed that they shared my information with parties I did not consent to like how niji did with their livers they can be held for liable as niji is about to ,since the retard trio already confirmed they've seen the legal documents which they weren't supposed to these retards just implicated themselves dokis lawyers are going to laughing all the way to the bank kek I'm so glad I was never a nijitard

Are we 100% on the voluntary part in the first place? And why? It's a terrible move to do this right after a drastic termination even in a completely cold logic way. Versus battling it out in private or in a legal way where no one on the outside would know anything without someone saying something like what happened today.
On some vague level I kind of understand using "the popular kids" to try to alleviate the brunt of the damage across the rep of the company for everyone else's sakes but look at what the results are with the flames reignited again against them.

What are you struggling to comprehend? The point of arbitration is to entirely avoid court proceedings, it’s a fancy way of “talk it out” with a third party who, if international actually has their own set of non-country specific guidelines. Most of these conflicts simply settle, that’s the same everywhere, no one wants to go to court.

I'm not convinced the bullying is anything more than managers asking her to give Selen a friendly push to do what they want her to do tbh.

I think employment issues would go to jp courts. They have a long and terms and conditions page for applications. But she's not a jp citizen so they can't shut her up. Afaik, if they yap, she can sue them under jp laws but she's got the right to yap outside of NDA breaking. She hasn't though. At most, they could sue to have those statements blocked in Japan. They're gonna lose their overseas cash cows, except the Vox and Ike yumes. Some of them might even leave if it's a choice between them and Doki, considering how fast the Live Chat reactions changed.
I thought they would try to turn it into a Chinese girl catfight w/Enna or Petra (or even maker it an international fight with Millie/Reimu), but it makes sense to use white men as meat shields instead. This isn't actually for EN speakers. It's for people who follow Niji only and don't want outside info, like the yumes currently here.
Note that she still hasn't named a single person or designation, just a toxic workplace environment. Niji is building a narrative and we'll find out more only when things go to court.

Anyways, linking my own chuuba music to add on to >>355712 . Shiori may not by any means be a great or experienced singer, but I thought she made a really good song choice for her first solo cover, it really suited her.

AYRT that's understandable, liking the people behind the covers does a lot for me. It's why I losten to the majority of vtuber covers, otherwise I'd just seek out the best possible cover of a song/the originals.
And same, I actually wish talents who didn't specialize in music would release more covers, Fauna included. Not to be too much of an autist about 'muh idol culture' but Holo really should, as an idol company, require talents to do some minimum quota of music per year.

Because HER implication was that she had to come forward because she was sooo scared they were going to get doxxed by Selen otherwise, as stupid of an extrapolation as that is to make from a legal document that's obviously going to have their information on it. You need to learn to backread more than one or two posts in a chain.

I'm so glad there probably won't be these two on her channel in any capacity.
I think there trying to do with Hex vs Sayu thing again but Vox vs Doki. The thing is, people like Doki more. She's done so much as Selen that only (some of) the CN yumes who pay for paywalled 18+ rp would go after her. I'm curious about the voice call now, nonnie. I bet he was shitty to her.

This. Even in the Zaion situation, while I've qlways thought that she was not a good person who made obvious mistakes, Nijisanji made stupid choices and inadverdently confirmed things that led to a loss of faith in their word. It's just that Niji was lucky enough that Zaion was unlikeable and most chose to dogpile her instead of hearing her side of the story. I wouldn't be surprised if that situation made EN management cocky and led them to think they could handle Selen's situationthe same way.

Somehow, after all this, I still dislike Selen. I feel like it's telling when all the livers of EN are in agreeance over her behavior, and she is the only one who is not. And to throw all her previous friends under the bus like this really puts a bad taste in my mouth, especially knowing she's lied in the past before. I hope this all blows over eventually though because I can't take seeing literal who's post shit takes and think pieces on why they're "stopping their nijien fanart". Half the people riding this wave are 2views and generic gacha-artstyle fanartists.

2/ everyone isn’t in “agreeance” ESL-chan, besides those implicated who basically committed career sudoku. Everyone else doesn’t dare to touch the poop beyond being forced to like a few company tweets.
3/ “she lied before” just like you’re lying now. If she made all of this up with no good evidence, why is the CEO of kusosanji himself groveling for forgiveness? One (1) menhera gaijin vs. a multi million dollar company, tensai desu ka?

Tbh I think she might be crumbling under the pressure and taking a short unplanned break herself. Afaik she has a full time internship that takes up almost all her time outside of streaming at night. And if the leaks are true then she's the type to feel scared by confrontation so dealing with pr crisis will be too much for her. She's probably having her own breakdown behind the scenes, even if she's not planning on graduating. I feel like her audience would actually follow her to her pl because her content is not attached to the Nijisanji name or environment.
Also before anyone brings up that she has "Ill be back soon" in her pl bios, she had those since her pl hiatus notices, they're not new.

I mean, it's possible, but we don't even have a scope of what "bullying" really means in this instance. It could be relatively mild shit that Doki unexpectedly went menhera over, or it could be actual psychological warfare. The main takeaway is that Niji has dogwater PR skills and either can't appropriately wrangle their talents, or they're currently holding them at gunpoint.

No. 355920

Finally someone with a brain. I’m convinced through all the noise that Doki Selen menhera’d her way through to sewer slide if she previously thought just a warning meant termination. Weaponizing her ignorance and lawyered up, so of course her fat ass would be terminated.

She should’ve just left earlier and got Vox to graduate with her but now we’re stuck with him around. She must have liked Niji enough to stay for that long. Now she’s friendless and no one worth two shits will ever collab with her("sewer slide", unintegrated newfag with vendetta)

Idk man, I'm still waiting for some solid evidence against Selen other than "she has BPD", "she attempted suicide" or that 3 members of this company well-known for managing its talents with respect and wisdom made a 15 minute video against her with definitely no coercion involved.
Can someone who's anti-Selen explain why other Niji talents have been graduating left and right? Even before Pomu there was still a high turnover of top talents when compared to Hololive, like Nina and Mysta. These are people who seemed like they had good relationships in the company and clearly still want to stream.
The small number of talents who willingly left Hololive seem like they had good reasons (Sana simply did not want to vtube anymore, Coco was probably tired after the Taiwan debacle and wanted more freedom.)

I think both can be true. She can be a menhera mess, which is likely due to BPD, but her being bullied, harassed and neglected by the company can ALSO be true. It's possibly a bit of everything, but I think in the end I'd still support her over the company.

No. 355927

People just want to move on and it could’ve also been content related. Niji and even Holo have been more restrictive than VShoujo when it comes to freedom of what people want to do. Like Kuro Mysta having a face reveal and streaming whatever the fuck he wants when he feels like it. Nina was probably similar, especially since she’s doing whatever she wants under VShojo with less rigid restrictions. Pomu went back to school, Mika wanted to do other stuff and hasn’t redebut, Zaoin is stupid fuck. Yugo wanted to do his music on his own terms, and now is happily doing that.

Coco immediately became Kson in VShojo so same story. Other holo girls might just be too stupid to do any other job or so unpopular that no one would give two shits about them if they left.

I’m sure a lot of livers were pissed after failed AR live which we’ll never know why. Doki Selen just jealous of “favoritism” whatever the fuck that was. Skill issue. Now she can do whatever the fuck she wants, she was just too coward to leave. I was a dragoon, but I can smell a twisted bitch when I see one. Like an inexperienced person at their first job. She could’ve left when she wanted, but she was a little bitch and pussied out every single time.

Niji takes a healthy percentage of their income. The top-earners bail because they figure they have enough clout to transfer their fanbase to a new indie endeavor and not lose that percentage of their income.

The ones that don't bail either don't earn enough for the cut to really bother them, or they don't think they'll be able to carry over enough to a new "life" to justify it. It's all business, more than anything.

I kinda agree with you, I feel like she might have pushed the narrative for bullying and supposed voice recordings to scare Niji into not pursuing legal action but now that they're actually investigating it she's scared it'll come out she was exaggerating everything. She was also probably not expecting Niji to make more public statements and for any livers to expose what she threatened them with. They let Zaion talk all she wants after all. If Selen really had strong evidence why not share publicly? Zaion even made a doc without evidence lol It's clear the reality is in a grey area, if Selen suffered this much in Niji I'm glad she left but she's not exactly acting like she wants to keep it in the past.

Okay, let's say Selen is actually batshit insane and threatening to dox every nijisanji liver, release every niji discord call or conversation, and has the passcode to the nijisanji nukes.
Whose job is it to salvage this situation:
One (1) theoretically batshit insane BPD chan who allegedly started the whole thing
or
A multi-million dollar company with hundreds of employees that (allegedly) has some kind of PR team, lawyers, and talent managers
Does anyone actually feel like a single move niji has made since this all went down has been a good one? Between the document confirming there is intra-talent bullying, to turning 3 talents into a meatshield by hosting a drama video on one of their channels.

If she didn't get harassed and the voice recording is a nothingburger she'll have brought in others to the case for no reason. I don't think she's in the wrong for leaving the company or suing for whatever went down with her managers but she's bringing others into the fire for reasons she won't prove to the public or even to the livers she forced to get involved herself.

It's obvious in retrospect when the NijiEN livers became aware of the legal litigation and accusations Selen was filing.

Hence stuff like Enna's pre-emptive member stream where she told her fans to not risk their mental wellbeing defending her.

Selen's supporters twisted it into being her admitting culpability, but the equally valid viewpoint is that she knew ahead of time the shitshow that Selen just filed legally (naming Enna aka Shannon's apartment address in North York on Dundas Street), and wanted to protect her fans from trying to fight with the rabid mob.

So far she and her lawyer seem to be on the defensive, if her last tweet is to be believed at face value Nijisanji probably decided to fire her at some point after getting some actual legal help and decided to go ahead with the termination after the lawyer sent the docs Vox saw (either that or they actually wrote that termination letter in 2 hours)
So my personal guess is there were only legal threats back and fort at least until the trio's 15 min statement where they confessed to read documents they presumably shouldn't have read because Nijisanji is desperately trying to bait Doki into make the same mistakes Zaion did when the livers that casually also considered a friend did a similar thing to her

Obvious how? Isn't the best case scenario for you and NijiEN that Doki doesn't plan to enter the drawn out battle to push a definite case legal-wise towards court?

Legally "Doki" doesn't pose much threat, tbh. In Canada (unlike the USA), the law dictates much lower caps and precedent for the damages that can be awarded. There aren't those "$5 Million awarded in damages" cases in Canada like in the States.

The panic is obviously that Doki is mentally unwell and is acting irrationally, including writing out the full address and legal names of the other vtubers in the documents she intends to file legally. People throw around the word "private" but if she actually files this in a Canadian court, these documents will become part of public record, and can be viewed by the public. So, obviously there is an implicit threat there, whether "Doki" is aware or not.

And doxxing addresses would be the bomb that only completely evaporates any of her support and fanbase, it's not logical to use as a threat. This again sounds like "because she's BPD who knows when she'll start spamming addresses onto her public profile"

You'll debut in Hololive in 3 years kek at first I thought Niji would make it out of it alive because usually they stay silent after the announcement and everything calms down but with how retarded EN management has been I'm not sure if they're gonna keep debuting waves like nothing happened. Some indie graduated only to un-graduate very shortly after while Niji was losing its shit on twitter. No proof she was in Niji but this might be happening, either talents being dismissed or leaving themselves. If you make it in don't forget us nonna

If they decide to keep hiring, it'll probably improve them. I think a lot of people are going to be looking to either wait for Holo or join smaller corpos after this.
All this being said, I hope Niji doesn't completely exit the Western market. As much as I like Holo, it's really no good for any major company to go uncontested, and no other small corpo has really risen to rival their reach yet. Yes, Vshojo exists, but it's not a direct a competitor in terms of content, culture, and platform the way Niji is.

>The panic is obviously that Doki is mentally unwell and is acting irrationally,
I think you misspelled Niju management. Doki calmly ending her stream when Niji decided to drag her name at the same timeslot as her first gaming stream, and then waiting 2 days to properly formulate her rebuttal to the claims is not the behavior of a person acting out of mentally unwell panic. Furthermore, unlike Niji, she didn't post a laundry list of grievances or make personal attacks in that rebuttal. You also have to remember that all allegedly underhanded and "manipulative" information she's given out was given in clarification to biased claims on Niji's part.
People like you really just fully discredit individuals with any degree of known mental illness based on your own biases without looking at the facts at hand or what might be causing the distress on their part. I really feel bad for anybody in your life who relies on you for support… Or maybe you don't have anybody like that, for good reason. Although I doubt you're aware that you're the cause.(infighting)

If Ao-kun's design pandered to women a bit more (like Cinnabar from PTN) then I would've fr yume'ed her but unfortunately it falls a little short.

The suit that looks like she borrowed it from her dad nerfs her quite a bit tbh but it also adds to the comedic failing as an ikemen thing she has going on. If they release a different outfit and it's based on the outfit in their debut mv I might yume fr tho who knows.

I don't think it'll happen with Ao-kun because she has her comedic talent to fall back on and can get fans from that instead of going the GFE route. All of the times she's gained more viewers has been after doing some comedic genius streams like the entire MK tournament.

This is definitely performative. Most people just watch Doki streams at this point.
Everyone understood from the screenshots that she wanted to leave and probably just didn't have the time and patience to fight for the cover to be made public again. It's one thing if you only do covers like Maria does, it's another when you're used to being in fight mode to get stuff done. We don't know how long it took Maria to get approval. Doki was planning to quit anyways, so the backlash didn't matter. It's like Mika on her graduation stream: “What are they gonna do? Fire me?”

It's also the pay they're offering people who could make significantly more as translators. There's a chance they didn't actually pay Shu or Elira. These companies run on the backs of free labour from fans (artwork for thumbnails & schedules, clips, and fan translations of stuff etc.), so it wouldn't be surprising if they expected the same from their employees. Mysta did say it was like being indie but with extra steps.
I think the actual bureaucracy is frustrating enough. Most people already know that JP company stuff moves at snail's pace.

Maria mentioned in a random segment during her Dave the Diver video that sometimes the process can take months. She didn’t give a full explanation of the process, but it’s the most transparent I’ve seen of the approvals of covers within NijiEN

At 2:28:58 for reasons why there are delays. There’s more steps than she talks about
- she forgets to send confirmation to the staff
- the artist or the person she’s commissioning work from gets sick and needs extra time
- the art needs to be fully approved and then you can post it (2:30:55)
- rarer cases is when she gets sick and can’t record
- all steps need to be approved in order to post. for a previous cover, it took 3 months because her original artist ghosted her. so she found a new artist, get new approval for the new art and then also get approval for the video
- the part that takes the longest is the actual copyright for the song (2:32:32)
- unless it’s a holiday, staff can’t be working everyday. they usually respond within a day otherwise
- karaokes also require approval

Enna claims to be a virgin to appeal to her femcel audience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l1LhoVKBUw

But Enna has dated and moved in for more than a year with multiple boyfriends and fakes being a femcel for viewer engagement

Also Enna craves BWC and fucked Kyo during their offcollab

Enna actually got drunk with Kyo during the offcollab and he carried her to bed.

This is something she left out of the original details, and Kyo told the story many months later(USER HAS BEEN PUT OUT TO PASTURE)

I’ve been getting ads for this vtuber on YouTube lately and maybe it’s because I avoid loli-voiced vtubers but I find her voice hilariously bad.

It's almost like she herself hates doing that voice

I'm not into games like that in general, but thank you.
If anything, I hope they continue the GFE for women thing she has going on. I might even consider buying merch if they give her handsome costumes and designs in the future for sure.
Side note, there's something so cute about how bad she is at video games. I want to play games together and teach her. Damn you, cover.

I love my autistic midget oshi. I wish she would calm down with the ADHD stroke-inducing sound effects, but i love her humor and personality otherwise.

in her defense, her lore vid makes it obvious that she's ESL and doesn't seem to have a good grasp on inflection. i can imagine that might add a layer of difficulty to keeping up a voice
it definitely is still annoying though kek

I don't know about that but I still don't like her model, it makes her look dopey and weird which I guess works well enough when she's being the butt of the joke but her look in the initial Regloss promo art (and pic related, the same design drawn by her mama when she debuted) looked so good and immediately became my favorite Holo design only for her actual model to have a permanent Binky from Arthur facial expression

Any thoughts on this bigass schizo post? It's too long for me to screenshot the whole thing:
