I always thought Maserin was French, website lists them as Italian. I guess they were sharing space with Opinel in my brain.

I threw them in because he said there weren't any in the EU, but Victorinox would have been a much better example....

I can't help but feel like these 'girlfailure' gimmick 2view types are trying to emulate the early initial lightning in a bottle success someone like Pippa specifically had, but in an extremely cynical and calculating way to attempt milking maximum shekels out of an audience.

My thoughtprocess is this: by a lot of people's metrics, someone like Pippa from a few years ago would probably be considered a 'girlfail'. The stories she would tell for a couple years there - barely eating, inconsistent hygiene, antisocial, paranoia bordering on schizophrenia, extreme anxiety, difficulty making friends, ants crawling around constantly in handcam streams, moldy shit - had the effect of very easily endearing people to her, rallying behind her and rooting for her. Especially after the footstream, the industry took notice of her, and a lot of people appear to have taken the wrong lessons from it.

These 2view 'girlfailure rawr x3 so quirky and schizo BASED!!!' freaks revel in being a 'girlfailure' as a substitute for personality, making it their literal one defining trait. They cater themselves exclusively, and knowingly, to an audience of people whom maintain an eternal crabbucket mentality, and directly, explicitly, also attempt sexually appealing to them in a way that horseshoes back around to literally just being actual whores ('but they're /here/ 4chan whores so they're based!!!' - probably what their viewers would say)

What these imitators fail to realize is that a big part of Pippa's initial lightning in a bottle is that the 'girlfailure' aspect was just part of who she actually was. Genuinely, and not part as a bit, or as a main drawingpoint. It was not something that was actively seriously reveled in, she knew she had problems and she even did streams specifically regarding attempting to remedy them. Nor was it her one personality trait. One of the greatest joys I've had in my time on the entire Internet is from being a longterm fan of her and seeing her slowly, genuinely improve her life. The Pippa now is way better off than she was even just a year and a half ago (before the rekindling w/ parents). Now she has friends, now she goes outside, now she talks to people, now there's no ants or mold. It is a very satisfying thing to see unfold, and I think this is one of the huge pivots between an actual 'girlfail' like Pippa and these 'girlfailure rawr x3 so quirky and based' ones: the real ones actually want to improve their lives and don't revel in it as an actual purposeful defining eternal trait or adhere to audience crabbucketing. And something's telling me that we'll never see someone like Elfinpsyop actually go through an arc such as this. I suppose I could be wrong, I do not watch her, but literally everything I've seen from her in bulletpoints on this forum gives me the impression that she has the surfacelevel 'girlfail' aesthetic while failing to have any of the actual sincerity.

Id honestly add that Pippa made girlfailure shit palatable to non big corpo fags but you also had people like Dokibird (exhibit A ) make the le girlfailure shtick marketable, Shiori from Holo EN3 also made that a part of her gimmick (Exhibit B) to the point where she has official shorts making fun of the fact.

Right, what made Pippa work was that she was actually working to improve her situation and we were along for the ride getting glimpses of the progress.

Where the hell did Doki even find unsliced sandwich bread to begin with?

Name me the last time we had a random 3am Twitch guerilla stream where she was on the verge of crying and talking about general life and personal space upkeep not being worth doing because she just wants to die. Seriously, name the last time. Hint: it was an entire year and a half ago.

I've literally seen every female vtuber be described as the ultimate girlfailure if that's all you have to bring to the table then you have might as well bring nothing even the two ones mentioned above have to try and appeal to the gooners

I am still waiting for girlsuccesses and the idoru dream to become LE TRENDY again so the west can stop pretending that being a disgusting internet-addicted slob is somehow a likeable trait just because the audience are also heaps of trash. The hero's journey/underdog's rise to prominence will always be more interesting than "I am shit therefore I'm still shit UWU rawr XD pls donate".

e: I just realized I basically repackaged what Proctor already said weeks ago. Oops.

You and I share 100% of our opinions on this but it sounds better when a phasecuck says it so thanks.

I just remember the last forum girlfailure talking about buying a house <re: moving in with her fiance> while tricking niggas like @naganon to buy her exhorbant gifts like engagement rings. Without ever having to stream again. Nothing screams girlfailure like buying a house and FUCKING RETIRING

 

[Azehara]

The CEO of Vtuber merch & cooking utensil company Vite Ramen talks about how the tariffs are affecting his small business
He has to pay over 100.000$ in extra, unplanned expenses
The knives, the most expensive part of the merch he produces, are made in China, he's got a huge amount of tariffs he has to pay on them as soon as they come into port.
His company domestically manufactures pretty much everything else in the US and yet they cannot afford to cover this additional bill themselves. But he is unwilling to put the extra costs on the customers, so now he is asking for ideas

For now, seems like he will crowd fund it:

If you have to pay $100,000 extra in unplanned expenses I would imagine that you are doing fairly well when it comes to earnings. Boo fucking hoo, he will now only make $400,000 profit in sales this year instead of $500,000

The hero's journey/underdog's rise to prominence will always be more interesting than "I am shit therefore I'm still shit UWU rawr XD pls donate".

At this point in time, Pippa genuinely does pretty much encapsulate exactly what you're saying here, and I absolutely agree.

You and I share 100% of our opinions on this but it sounds better when a phasecuck says it so thanks.

I'm sure the other Phase folks who've been in the longhaul alongside me will back me up on this too, no worries.
