Just a thought cause we seen this for Idol EN twice now. could they be getting tard wrangled to stop there lewd stuff and cut off the lolibaiting stuff as they are trying to get bought out, like Tumbler and OnlyFans tried to do.
It's been a popular theory since it was announced that the Brave partnetship is a precursor to a full acquisition down the line.
If any of this content change is coming from the corpo they should really have made statement first to take some of the heat off of Yuko. I agree that removing existing content seems strange and unfair. Anyone interested will always be able to find what content was created, so what's the point? Plus you get a Streisand effect now where fans in the future will want to know what the big deal with the removed content is. Maybe there's some technical reason Idol doesn't want it on their channels, who knows.

It could maybe be a issue with youtube, I think a bit ago a Vtuber nearly got nuked off youtube because they had NSFW ASMR on their channel. Maybe Idol decided it was too much of a risk to keep it up so told their Talents it had to come down and they are just going about it in a sloppy way.

Wow what a shock that

The Jew Corp

would engage
in underhanded and questionable moneymaking tactics with it's talent cast but walk it back once it starts to veer into obvious, highly-visibly illegal territory. Who could have seen this coming?

Absolutely flabbergasted, completely bamboozinated, heckin' confuzzled.

Probably mentioned long ago but I watched a Shiori clip and she mentioned seeing a kid playing on a Switch during prom. Thats at earliest 2017 and assuming she was 16-18 she would only be 25 at the very most now. I thought she was older according to rrats?
Maybe she got held back.
I didn't donate to either so I'm not particularly upset but why would I want to donate towards one of these goals as a fan if there's a decent chance that even when the goal is met they won't go through with it for whatever reason they decide?
Yeah. So far this stuff has run on trust but too many have exploited that. We're gonna need escrow services for donothons or something.

I saw a bunch of replies malding about how she was supposed to have another NSFW ASMR as part of the donothon goals that was met. That's never gonna happen now lol. What's with these smaller corpos and promising NSFW donothon goals and then only backing out after they get the money? Phase pulled the same shit with Shiina and the mating press animation.
Probably because they're blinded by greed and only until they have to deliver on their promise do they realize the ethical and reputational ramifications of crowdfunding official pornography of your talents. I have no respect for any of the parties involved in these cases, they all deserve to get screwed over for agreeing to such a stupid idea to begin with.

Dokibird's new schedule, Palworld Twitch Rivals tournament!

Wonder who she will pick. Koe and Nagzz replied and many seemed to be interested in that. I threw Pippa's name in there.

I've been quite happy with the Fubuki, Mori and Holo(the wolf not the company) ones that I have. Good quality for the price.
The quality is amazing given the prize. I will be getting this to display alongside the Nendo.

I for one look forward to her starting another campaign to raise money for autism awareness that never gets paid out to anyone but herself.
Now watch as the charity she recommends turns out to be Autism Speaks.

Going back to my earlier post about Yuko, I didn't realise there were still donothon goals outstanding, and if they get dropped then I'd agree that's not on, just on principle (at least without offering a refund for donors).

Deleting the existing membership stream vods isn't a practice I'm a fan of in general, but it's also not something I'd lose sleep over in this case, people who paid got to see the streams live as promised, and even if you frame it as a subscription service rather than a voluntary donation with a perk, it's not like it's uncommon for other streaming services to remove content after a period of time.

I had a feeling those streams would need removing eventually anyway, since I'm pretty sure simulating masturbation has to be against ToS, and I'm sure Idol's new buyers wouldn't care to have sitting duck rulebreaking videos on the channels just waiting to get flagged. Taking it down immediately isn't the best look, but leaving them up after the stream today would've opened the door for the spurned lovers to mass-report her on the way out.

Just something I have noticed - Hololive Japan has presumably reached the threshold of usefulness for keeping collabs "inside the box". While there have always been various levels of Niji/VSPO and indie collabs the majority has come from select members like Towa and Choco.
The timeline is Hololive gen 0-3ish collabs with anyone > gen 4-7 keep in the box to grow > Regloss let's collab lots and with a wide array of people.

For example I saw this thumbnail and thought

Lamy with cat ears and bob cut Luna? Nope, a Nanashi (774) OG and a Niji OG playing with Choco, Iroha and Hajime.
Sora is also collabing more with her OG friends


That's a trend that I think is happening and I like it. Personally, I know it won't happen because Kiara want's to do all of Holo JP but she could do way more talk shows. Her last one was 6months ago and was for Advent. I am suprised that Regloss hasn't gone on the show but individual JPs appealing to the oversea market has died down.

Yeah, her getting rid of content people paid for leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

it would have been better for her to Just do the donothon goals and then quietly move away from this content without saying anything. But instead she decides to make a big deal out of it and apparently they're nuking archives of it. so I can imagine the situation is going below up in her face.

It could Also could be a decision from management and if it was, it's fucking stupid because they're gonna lose a hell of a lot of money.

Either way, this is gonna be entertaining to watch from the sidelines.

Let this be a reminder, this could be any of us if we fall for the GFE trap.
Don't be like Fandead. Don't be like these Boobros. It's not worth it man
GFE is poison and this is more or less what awaits anyone who indulges in it

Her saying she wants them to love her comes from her members' streams where she roleplayed as the listener's lover while using a plush to masturbate. A normal person (well, as normal as you can get as someone who pays for anime girl roleplay) would engage with it like they would with any other kind of pornography, understanding that it is fantasy and not a real relationship; if these people somehow convinced themselves that the ASMR equivalent of a jerk-off instruction video was her confessing her love to them then she's just separating fools from their money at that point.

I don't feel like producing that content is morally wrong, but I do think she should have been aware of how the wider vtuber community would react to it and the kind of problems it would bring her way. I would imagine the "burnout" that caused her hiatus was more just a sense of anxiety knowing that she was going to get shit from her audience for it, and I can respect that she's finally ripped off the band-aid now. Filtering out these kinds of people was a long time coming, and the fact that she's followed through on it shows she's committed to avoiding these problems in the future, so personally I wish her the best.
I didn't really watch yuko but I've been watching the dumpster fire. My main issue with it is, as a lot have already mentioned (and you too, just a few minutes ago), is removing paid content and also not delivering on donothon goals.

I'm also heavily split on the moral aspect of GFE. Sure, everybody should know it's not real. It already requires some dissonance to simply ignore that you are contending with hundreds of other viewers for your "e-gf"s attention to actually take it seriously. But there's also a decently sized chunk of viewers who are just lonely neckbeards. If you get too parasocial with a normal vtuber, it's your own fault, but GFE is basically preying on guys who are already trainwrecks from lack of emotional intimacy. Those kinds of people are more than willing to delude themselves into a fragment of intimacy, no matter how fake it is. It's a disgusting practice imo, and nobody should encourage it.

In the end, she's just reaping what she sowed, so I have little pity for it.

Parasocial relationships should be punished by a thousand lashes.
Vtubers are not your friends, she will never be your friend, just sit down and enjoy the show like everyone else, and for the love of God stop embarrassing yourself.

I've experienced the "vtuber I follow deletes and no longer produces nsfw content that I enjoyed" but at least I didn't pay for the privilege. Damn.
