Can we get to 1k before the end of the year?

Shion and Haachama started as children and they're perfectly normal

Really though children shouldn't be near the vtuber sphere at all

Japanese corporations see no issue hiring minors for either the idol or vtuber industry. A whole ton of vtubers started streaming as minors. It's one of the most common 'admissions' I've heard behind the scenes in the industry. Is your oshi currently early 20's? Yeah, she was probably already streaming at 16 or 17 and already applying to corporations by then. I don't like it at all, but it's totally normalised within the industry. Hell, nobody ever bothered asking me what age I was when I started joining random IRC chats nearly 20 years ago, or how old I was when I was playing online D&D 15 years ago. I know we like to rag on places like AkioAIR for openly stating they hired a minor and acting like it wasn't an issue... but that's because it really wasn't (within the industry). They just underestimated how hard the backlash against admitting it publicly to the international market would be.

They seem more like the exemption than the norm really. Haachama is made of rather stern stuff and I don't really know enough about Shion to say much about her, but they also have the benefit of Cover being rather decent handlers for them and backing them up on issues fairly.

I agree on the stance for children though. In general, a kid in popular social media is usually a recipe for disaster. The odds of fuckups happening are way higher because they're often too stupid to realize doing dumb shit for the world to see can have repercussions.

Shion claims she's been on the Internet since she was very young. Her recent hiatus that was ended mostly because of Aqua graduating was because she realized she was starting to burn out and wanted to take a break before she began hating streaming and everything around it. I have a lot of respect for her and this decision because, as you've said, she seems to be the exemption for something like this. I can't imagine too many younger individuals would be able to make this kind of a decision at the right time like she did. Hell, plenty of adults can't.

Shion and Haachama are still around and have done well throughout their time here, but it hasn't been without struggle, and I agree they are definitely an exception. Respect to them, but I don't think they should be pointed to to justify the practice of normalizing children becoming vtubers, not that anyone here has done so.

I think the big difference is Japan treats streaming and idol culture like the West treats acting, in that you can have a child actor and it's treated in a professional manner as long as you keep Kevin Spacey and the others like him away from them. In the West though streaming is much more of a bottom up approach that isn't as corporate, so the default is that it should be an 18+ profession because not only is there the lack of a corporate buffer to provide some level of protection for the streamer but also the way people interact with streamers is much less polite.

In other words, taking a train ride in Japan is not the same as taking a train ride in New York.

Imagine saying Fleshtuber instead of Meatuber.

Our favorite English ferret got a cute new outfit


and celebrated by playing the funny Squid Game knockoff with some other streamers including Mint, Dokibird, Ray "Chibidoki" Narvaez Jr., Jabroni Mike and Criken


Highlights:

• Mint apologizing for hitting people, in start contrast to how she played this game in her past life
• "Riddle me this: how is it water instantly kills you but lava doesn't?"
• Chibidoki's platform disappears under him, but he doesn't fall into the water until he looks down and says "what?"
• Limes 360 no scoping other players with snowballs
• Ray: "Alright I'm going pink for pusssssyyyy!" *Explodes* "FUCK!"

The most important thing to remember when anyone is streaming this game is to tell them to wishlist Karlson.
Oh you don't know what Karlson is? I don't feel like doing the rest.

"I love my community too much to ditch them because my social reputation is considered 'bad'. I put my community as my number one priority, who the fuck cares what random people who don't know shit about me say."


Bitch you nuked your "community" 3 times, maybe more for when I wasn't around.
You need to be beyond salvation to take anything she says as truth, she would trade every single simp of her for a middle-class dude with a house and an average dick.

Did a quick check on the channel and Twitter, reasonably degenerate behavior with a lot of mpreg jokes but the streams are valid. Quick self-report tweet:

The voice isn't for me, but it might be for someone else out there. Doesn't seem to engage in dramabaiting/politisperging and works making assets for other vtubers. I think it's fine.

The fuck's a vtuber? I'm just here to collect stickers and be racist, but the lime-flavoured mick that owns the joint is sealing my power so it's just stickers for the time being.

Shame that the average middle class dude can do better than her.

Honestly, the model isn't bad either and they seem to know that by being a troon, retards are going to try and use them to push agendas. Which they made against the rules as well, still a bit mentally ill by being a troon but doesn't seem like they are making it their personality.

I really hate at how hard this made me laugh

One difference with idols is there is Idol schools. For example Perfume met and formed in idol school when they were like 13 I think. Unfortunately there is no real Vtuber school (that one from Niji or sony isn't the same as a brick and mortar education). So the younger idols do know how to act as an idol.
In the west we kind of have the same thing but the kids come up through those Disney shows.
