I dont know if ending in Kawaii was a upgrade or a downgrade, im going with upgrade considering how ID were treated like Serfs in Niji

🤘 Camila was nearly assaulted by a stalker who showed up at her house to attack her while she was streaming. She was doxed by an airtag hidden in fanmail and has moved house permanently. 🤘

I guess that answers the question of where ID Nijis will or can go
Good for her
On the subject of kayfabe fading away, I don't think that's true, and once again the pro wrestling comparison comes in to play to prove my point. Everyone on earth knows pro wrestling is staged at this point, that the plots aren't real and are based out of a writer's room, and possibly influenced by backroom politics. But no one cares. The kayfabe is fun. Without it, there is no VTubing, it's just streaming. Look at Pippa; regardless of how much she opens up about her real personal life, it will always be through the lens of being a rabbit girl living in Phase World. Her father isn't "Dad", he's "Papakin."
The past Life stuff is also similar to pro wrestlers in that when they go to another company, even if they use the same name and visual gimmick, all the lore they built up in their previous company is reset. Their fans still follow them, going with the kayfabe for the fun of it, but always keeping the real backstage element in mind. The past life taboo was mostly for the fun of immersion, and to protect privacy when "past life" meant a non-VTuber presence. But reincarnations are happening so often, and usually from one VTuber persona to another, that the PL taboo is fading away. Basically there's a big difference between finding out the real name and identity of a VTuber because they were a cosplay model or something before joining a VTuber corpo vs. finding out they were just this other character previously.
Also, look at who disregards their kayfabe the most; primarily the Twitch VTubers, most of whom are e-girls trying the Amouranth coomerbait grift with an anime model, or who are otherwise openly narcissistic and just VTubing to be popular, evidenced by how often they share their real world face, political views, etc. on social media. The people who truly give a shit at least put in the effort to sell to their audience that on-screen character is who they actually are, even if they're not going full fantasy RP with it.
tl;Dr kayfabe never dies, it just evolves with the times.

First post but I'm looking for information!
My name is Occo and I host with @LuminousCove and we talk drama.
I was curious if people knew anything about Tessa_VT, or Reikan. They are a VTuber manager and help manage people such as Mari. They seem interesting to me, and I was curious if people knew more or could point me to places to look into them more! When I have more info I may make a post, but for now I'm just doing research!
Peace and Love

At least she's free.
Good luck for Jura, i hope Kawaii treats her better than Niji.
@Faceless Waifu also brought it up a few days ago but apparently her PL was privating streams with her facecam on
It's probably because of this one then good for her
Reminder Selen also commissioned a real wrestling belt that Enna won as Wrestlesanji champion and basically shrugged at it.

Does Riku wear it or does he just hang it next to his play button collection?Reminder Selen also commissioned a real wrestling belt that Enna won as Wrestlesanji champion and basically shrugged at it.
Id imagine he uses it for something dignified like cleaning his asscheeks like with the rest of Selen's accomplishmentsDoes Riku wear it or does he just hang it next to his play button collection?
Honestly amazed that a Niji still decided to trust a Japanese corpo
I guess everyone have different opinions on JP corpos regardless of their shared experiences

@The Proctor Confirm identity pls? Also why is everyone pummeling this guy with migos? You guys are fucking aggro lol.
There's something I want to point out about Lava, it's about Cheen, her artist orbiter that apparently is very close to off himself.
I don't know when, but an artfag friend told me he was getting nuclear in his Twitter, and recently he left Lava's discord and isn't around the streams as well, apparently
Congrats for making into the list
With that said, it is looking dire for the parasocial bozus, she is ready for that gringo ride, just need someone as crazy as her to commit to the bit.
But the collab is fun, even if she keeps pulling up the omegaverse stuff.
Meredith is up with more Harvester, these streams are great, dare to say as good as her LA Noire ones
