And for myself for reading this.

Look man, I'm not the best at articulating, especially in text form, so I'm going to try and keep it short, though I'm sure it'll end up an essay (spoiler alert, it did).Let me take this opportunity to address this directly, because it's a recurrent theme I've seen developing recently.
TVA is considered a kiwifarms-adjacent doxing forum. This is our public perception. Why would a vtuber want to contact me or by extension any of us? What would motivate them to do so? They would need to, at minimum, have A) completely perfect opsec*, B) agree with what we do, C) be willing to endure backlash from anyone who disagreed with B).
* Or just not care about it.
Who in the industry is like that? I personally can't think of anybody. It is critical to grasp that every single contact I've ever gotten in the industry has been despite me owning this forum, not because of it. Every single one of them, without exception, would like me more if I deleted TVA.
I tried to give people a chance to change that perception, and that ended when the vtuber who was willing to trust us and openly interact with us got harassed and had RL pictures demanded from them, then lied about for years afterwards purely as a way to get a rise out of me personally.
The truth is that the only vtubers who were ever interested in openly interacting with TVA under the terms TVA publicly set after that incident were A) severely mentally ill*, B) terminally stupid teenagers, C) a sociopathic alcoholic who likes to ask her 500$-a-month supporters to carve her name into their arms in VC.
* Much more so than even the norm for this industry.
That was it. It took me a very long time to grasp this fact, and I am completely to blame for not doing so sooner. I was an optimist, and I was wrong.
We are not the kind of people vtubers want to interact with. We dig into their backstories, we expose their PL information, we post their faces. I know many users would absolutely go so far as to post full dox material if I let them, which is one of the only lines in the sand that I've drawn. This stance has caused me intense personal stress and misery in the past two years. My determination to not censor this place has strained my relationships with people I deeply care about. But even though I object to some of the things that are posted here, sometimes very strenuously, I will not let them be taken down or removed.
No vtuber likes this. None of them appreciate your attentions. They would all, to a woman, prefer it if this place didn't exist. Even large amounts of posts about them can indirectly cause them misery and career issues by being known as 'that vtuber the doxers like'. The ones who believe as I do are like me, in that they believe in the spirit of free speech while still objectively, tangibly suffering from the consequences of their belief in reality, because bad faith actors will incessantly use their own standards to attack them without fear of retaliation.
So to sum things up; no, me leaking the DMs of a user is not going to tangibly impact my relationship with anyone in this industry.
Running TVA does not tangibly benefit my mental health, my finances, or my social life in any capacity. It will not make me a successful career, and it will not win me friends or allies in this space. But I will run it because I fervently believe that it should exist, that it is better than the alternatives, and that history will one day prove that tiny, insignificant acts of defiance to the mainstream censorship edifice made a difference in the fight against it.
That's all I have to say on the topic, thank you for listening.
let's be fair to @Alexander he wasn't even a forum user until today. He couldn't have grasped the forum's vibe because he isn't an active participant here.Completely fails to grasp the actual forums vibe, holy shit what a retard.
Context for this message BTW:
(Soyfarmer is @Alexander best described by Proctor here)

Does this man even have an Oshi? Has Proctor brought in his own Black and Tans, or seeing as he is a discord mod Black and Trànslet's be fair to @Alexander he wasn't even a forum user until today. He couldn't have grasped the forum's vibe because he isn't an active participant here.
I have not groomed anyone yetHuh. Never knew the Discord janny memes were actually real.
It's just a giant, unnecessary, gay mess all around and bringing it into the open has done nothing for anybody.
Motherfucker they don't hate you whatever you do, they hate you because of what you do and how you do it. Oftentimes they don't even hate you, just the things you're doing.
MariMari_ENDoes this man even have an Oshi? Has Proctor brought in his own Black and Tans, or seeing as he is a discord mod Black and Tràns
I mean, that hasn't changed. As said in the previous post, i like the forum a lot, so Proctor definitely did some things right, nothing wrong about giving him credit for that and supporting him continuing to do so.and hoped for his success out of a general sense of goodwill.
With that in mind, i dare hope that this doesn't happen and that you're being severely hyperbolic.can't wait for him to become one of the magic new mods that Proctor started setting up a couple months ago so he can run the site into the shitter.
Damn, almost like it was a shit idea to have him moderate the discord in the first place.let's be fair to @Alexander he wasn't even a forum user until today. He couldn't have grasped the forum's vibe because he isn't an active participant here.
Now I wish Proctor was still at his 'Lowtax phase', because we could throw some cash to make "Black and Tràns" Alexander's official title.Does this man even have an Oshi? Has Proctor brought in his own Black and Tans, or seeing as he is a discord mod Black and Tràns
Are you shitting me? This same Marimari_EN?MariMari_EN
IIRC he's been made a second admin of the Discord when Proctor had housing related issues because Proctor had to be completely AFK for a few daysDamn, almost like it was a shit idea to have him moderate the discord in the first place.
Same here, the truth is that most vtubers being unstable young women would only like a site where they are constantly bootlicked and praised for every minute thing and thrown money for simply existing while their simps ignore all of their flaws. Proctor's fantasy, and I call it a fantasy because that's what it is, is simply unreachable, we will never be liked or accepted, anyone who is even the least bit critical or cynical of other people's attitudes, actions and personalities will never be liked, because we live in an era of egomaniacal manchildren who must have their every action praised as if the entire universe cares for their feeble existences. As I have long learned the only way to be liked is to be aloof as fuck and super chilled out, never have any strong opinions or argue against anything, that's what people like.That being said, and I'm only speaking for myself, though I'm sure many others probably feel the same way, but I honestly don't really care about this place having a particular perception among vtubers. I don't care if this place is known as being Kiwi Farms-adjacent. Of course, I'd prefer TVA not having a negative perception amongst vtubers, but that's on them to decide, not on us to act in a particular way.
