General Thread v2: Enhanced Segregation Techniques!

[Aka Split]

Personally, I prefer being straight for Marine.

...I guess it's only IRyStocrats who have to worry about needing to be gay for their oshi?
She makes us all dress up as Kaworu and Shinji and do things to each other, please send help.

How...many...times?

Why are perms if not because of Japan?

 

[2DUM4U]

Ichika's body type is proof that God exists and wants us to be happy.

A

She some kind of philosophical theist, apparently. Not clear whether she's religious or not. She's such an interesting person, though. You never know what you're going to see following her. (Other than recorder and enormous breasts, I mean. Those are a given.)

EDIT: Her other tweet won't link/archive properly so I'll just include the image from it here.

Spoiler: IchiKant

Jelly, not content with smoking merely one cig at a time tries an alternative method! Let's see how it works out for her

I will go ahead and add to this because another point has been illustrated to me that perms autism isn't just games. Just bubbling under the surface is the RIAA with music perms.

Look at the lengths Twitch has had to go to in order to deal with music perms autism. Muting VODs, making a special feature where your VOD will not have music, building an entire music streaming app where the catalog is all music Amazon has perms for. Entire record labels had to get created with the sole purpose of making music streamers can use -- Backing Track, StreamBeats, Nightwave, those two Japanese ones I forget the name of but all the vtubers use (EDIT: Audiostock and Dova-Syndrome), YouTube Audio Library....

Look at YouTube fucking automating their perms systems for movies and music. Play a copyrighted song or a clip from a copyrighted movie? Well now your video can stay up, but all your ad revenue can go to the music label or the production house, automatically without the label or house lifting a finger.

The RIAA absolutely can go after every streamer playing a Drake track, but they don't because they think they'll find a way to go after Twitch itself instead and get way more money out of Bezos in one suit than they could out of LowTierGod in a few million suits.

Games are just weird like that, no one (other than Nintendo, Atlas, and most recently Capcom) want to open Pandora's DMCA because they view most streamers playing your game as free advertising. However, the DMCA threat has been levied (Firewatch saying they plan to DMCA if Pewdiepie streams it). And many western devs now put a "Perms Clause" in their terms of service for a bunch of games because they don't want to deal with eighteen million emails from Johnny Football Twitch Streamer to make sure they can play their game and they don't want to install fax machines so that Satoru Sakka Buichuuba can do the same.

OH FUCK LOOK AT THAT I WAS JUST LOOKING THROUGH THE MINECRAFT PERMS CLAUSE (underline mine):

We want to make it clear that these guidelines are for the community of Minecraft players and fans. The allowances we give in these guidelines do not authorize commercial companies, corporate brands, advertising agencies, non-profits, politicians, political action committees, governments to use or exploit Minecraft for promoting products, services, or agendas unrelated to Minecraft.

It wasn't some rando indie Japanese vtuber that got hit with Mionacht causing the entire company to need to bring down VODs and in the case of Subaru the entirety of her old VoD catalog. It was goddamn a member of a corpo talent agency with well over 20 talents (at the time) under their belt.

Honma Himawari is currently live playing that one typing game a bunch of other vtubers streamed a few months ago. She is using it to practice her English.

The really fun part about this is that the fuckwit that made that threat, Sean Vanaman, left to work at Valve as one of the writers for Half-Life: Alyx and now he has to seethe in silence as Pewdiepie streams it because Valve isn't going to make that threat.

 

[Last Of The Mohicans]

The ironic thing about the post that triggered me is that now that Cover is opening up a US office, it's more likely perms will get even more difficult, because Holopro is now officially a Multinational Conglomerate, which is making copyright trolls and IP lawyers make the Happy Merchant pose and salivate.

I wish they'd gone through with it. Having to explain why Pewdiepie uniquely infringed on their copyright where so many others didn't and why they didn't enforce on those others would be great. Virtue signalling speds.

Important cover news:

They dropped this document as well. (link is a .pdf)
If you can't read it or don't want to d/l it - basically it's justifying the need to open the office.

Also since it's morning news time Niji has a new wave

It's a three guy group - more info here. Group name: 3SKM and they are from Yokohama. I wonder if they will be more like a boy band...

Edit: They debut on 3.15. Looks like Niji is going up against the fest this year.

[Limkin]

Are you telling me that the mainstream narrative behind the Holocaust is wrong?

Nintendo is just a shitty company in general, them being japanese is the icing on the cake. They also routinely bitch to twitter to take down fanart of their characters they don't like. With some artists putting announcements like "I am not drawing anything from Nintendo anymore they requested too many of my works to be removed to continue"

Blizzard does the same shit with Overwatch porn.

Just checked my calendar, I'm busy doing anything else whatsoever that day. Guess I can't watch the new Nijisanji gay men debuts.
