General Thread v3: The Hexagone

[Nenélove]

These are just the nominations no? The actual voting will be later.
This will be dumb regardless, I implore lord yagoo to snub it once again, them announcing the winner and having nobody come on is hilarious stuff.

Spoiler: Nomination/Winner predictions

Zatsudan: Probably a couple of big indies/vshojo members and a Holo or two; Winner is a tossup

Art: Some indie art vtuber or two and a HoloEN that does art, either raora or ina again; No indie artist is that popular so the Holo wins again

Fps: Doki, maybe a HoloJP but likely not and some big indie/vshojo; Doki wins

Asmr: idk any asmr vtubers, probably just big indies and maybe a holo for no reason; the most popular indie will win

Music: Mori (again), maybe a HoloJP, big indies/small corpo talents which are popular; Mori will probably win

Tech: Vedal, notame, some other indie; either vedal or dooby

Le funny: this one is unpredictable, probably some big indie, maybe a phaseoid, maybe a Holo; big indie or phase will win it because it's the only award they will be nominated in

Chaotic: same as (((funny)))

Hidden gem: corpo reincarnations and indies; If any corpo reincarnation gets in they insta-win

Rising star: Same as hidden gem

League of their own: vshojo member, big indie, HoloEN; winner is a tossup to whoever is most popular

Mister vtuber: nobody cares about homos

Miss vtuber: indie whores from twitch, vshojo members; vshojo wins

Rising vtuber org: Random brave properties, phase if it doesn't get put in best vtuber org again; if phase is here it wins

Most dedicated fanbase: whichever fanbase is infamous/rallies to rig the vote and win

Best vtuber org: Holo, vshojo, maybe phase/brave, idk if sisters will try to get niji in again; Holo wins

Vtuber parent of the year: idk whichever artist is the most popular atm

Best vtuber event: one or two Holo events, ironlung's subathon; a tossup depending on how many ironkeks vote, Holo will split the vote between several options

Game of the year: FOTM, probably card game simulator, minecraft and whatever else was popular this year

Gamer of the year: Doki, big indies, maybe a holoEN; doki wins

>Fastforward to a hypothetical future where Ironmouse doesn't win Vtuber of the Year:

Spoiler: Topical response because people voted wrong

**Disappointment Over Ironmouse's Loss at the 2024 Vtuber Awards**

The results of the 2024 Vtuber Awards were met with mixed reactions, but for many fans, the most disheartening outcome was the fact that Ironmouse did not win in her category. Ironmouse, a beloved figure in the Vtubing community, has been an inspiration to countless viewers, not only for her dynamic and entertaining content but also for her courage in navigating the challenges of living with a chronic illness. As a disabled woman who deals with a serious condition that limits her physical capacity, her ability to create an entertaining and supportive online presence is a testament to her strength and resilience.

While the Vtuber Awards are a celebration of talent, creativity, and community engagement, it's hard not to feel a sense of injustice when considering the full context of Ironmouse's journey. Throughout her career, she has built a massive following, not just because of her entertaining streams but also because of her authenticity and openness about her struggles. Despite being confined to her home due to her health, Ironmouse has been a beacon of positivity, proving that one's worth is not defined by physical limitations. For many of her fans, she represents more than just a content creator—she symbolizes perseverance and the power of embracing one's individuality, no matter the obstacles.

When voting for the Vtuber Awards, it’s important to reflect on what makes someone deserving of recognition. While every nominee may bring something unique to the table, those who face additional hurdles—like Ironmouse—should not be overlooked. Her presence in the Vtubing space is not merely a product of her talent, but also of her determination and ability to build a meaningful community despite the challenges of disability. In this light, it feels as though her perseverance should have earned her a more thoughtful consideration when votes were cast.

Of course, everyone is entitled to vote for their favorites, and awards are subjective by nature. However, it’s worth considering how the Vtuber community can support and uplift creators who represent marginalized groups—especially those like Ironmouse, who break barriers every day. Her journey is one of hope and resilience, and in many ways, her story is one that deserved to be acknowledged at the 2024 Vtuber Awards.

Ironmouse's loss is a reminder that the fight for visibility and representation in online spaces continues. For those who didn't vote for her, perhaps a reflection on her story and the challenges she faces might lead to a deeper understanding of why her victory would have meant so much—not just for her, but for everyone who sees in her a reflection of their own struggles and dreams.

*In addition to all of the above, in the current climate of online entertainment, it's very disappointing that TVA forum user Abomination made the decision to make the above response using ChatGPT. In a time when artists, VAs, and other creators are fighting against the use of AI threatening their livelihoods, it's insensitive for someone like Abomination to use AI to write his shitposts because he's too lazy to make a full write-up himself. Do better you lazy fuck.

*Actually written by me.

I'm OK with Ironmouse always winning vtuber of the year. She's like the god-emperor of mankind, the trophies keep her throne alive and working.

From what I understand Hologra takes a lot from certain types of Japanese humor (ever watched Nichijou?) which is why it often seems extra weird to us in the west, it IS weird on purpose but the cultural barrier only enhances how strange it appears.

Man, there are a lot more reaction vtubers than I thought. Obviously I knew about Alana and Aquwa, but after watching a few Smug Alana videos, there's a bunch of stuff popping up in my recs.

You know, I just got to thinking. The Kick vtubers have an untapped market: reacting to edgy content. Jim's old videos, Murdoch Murdoch, Moonman songs, etc. I bet that'd draw a lot of viewers.
