January 1st, Fauna's NYE stream pops off and she pulls in enough new subs to pass the 1m mark from people showing up to see her off into the new year. Now there's only the graduation stream. January 3rd comes... and goes. The stream never starts. The timer says "waiting for Ceres Fauna" for four days, and then the stream is silently deleted without explanation. Everyone is concerned and panicked, what happened to Fauna? Why did the stream never start? Twitter is mostly silent, except for one masterfully crafted tweet by Calli. "Life, uh... finds a way."

Two days later, Fauna schedules a new Skyrim stream. January 9th, 6 days after she was supposed to already be gone. It's definitely Fauna, same voice, same sense of humour. She acts like nothing is wrong and everything is perfectly normal, until about an hour into the stream, after about $3000 in superchats asking "WHATS GOING ON!?"

"Oh yeah, I'm ungraduating," she says. "My 1m wish was for my stupid old manager to get fired. Now that she's gone, I win. No more disagreement!"

No I will not stop huffing the copium, you can't make me. :takocope:

The fact that this is now a 14-year-old Youtube paleo-meme feels appropriately Fauna-core.

Okay, here's a hypothetical for you all: let's say you had the next Macaulay Culkin or Shirley Temple - a child star with lots of charisma and talent, and they want to be a vtuber. Is there any way that you think this child could safely and responsibly become a vtuber, or should vtubing talents always be adults only?
The thing is with child stars, they have a bunch of people keeping them safe. And again how many stories there are about child stars getting groomed? Almost all hollywood star that started at a very young age have some weird stories they shared. Now imagine this but on the internet where people can act anonymously. The internet is not a safe space for kids so having one as an entertainer is the worst idea possible. Especially in an industry like vtubing where degeneracy is becoming more and more the norm.

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

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

A longer clip of the Austrian adventure, Monogatari style.


At times I forget that Kiara really doesn't like alcohol, and I'm reminded of this thanks to clips like these.
They remind me also, of another famous Austrian teetotaler who had a knack for the arts.

I keep seeing twitterfags act like the vtuber sphere isn't and shouldn't be strictly for adults and whenever they do that, I wonder if they grew up groomed, have groomed someone, or both.

Those are closet pedos. Pretty much every vtuber I follow will ban under 18s no questions asked.

I thought the same but I would never let my kid insert itself in internet culture before 14yo, and even by that age I'd supervise to make sure there's no long lasting consequences.

I honestly think they'd have better odds with vtubing than with Hollywood, which is not to say great odds. A medium where the norm is not showing your face, where everyone knows to never reveal any personal information, is inherently lower risk (not no risk). I think if you're going to let your kid be a streamer at all then vtubing would be a less bad way to do it.

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.

Seems like the Socks vtubing agency is teasing another talent.

Well it's certainly better than the family vloggers or those toy review channels.

Or breastfeeding. Just imagine going to school and everyone screaming "oh, I saw you sucking on your mom's tits last year". And your teacher was beating his meat to the same video

Never allow children a direct line of access to anonymous masses, infinitely more so if they're girls. If they've a talent for performing to some degree and want to make pre-recorded skits and the like that they don't need to interface with the audience to produce, fine, go for it, but no audience-to-performer contact without heavily filtering it for fucking scum first.

Once they're legal majority it's whatever, they're legal adults that can start learning to sort that shit themselves. Still though, how entertaining would an actual child vtuber really be in live streaming? If they have a strong commentary game then fine enough but there's no shot a 9 year old has anything going on in their life that is worth talking about that I at over 4x that age will be interested to hear. They barely have started developing their personality and will have hardly any life experience, compare against, say, Randon who I could listen ramble about a fucking ball of sticky cling film melting in his car and be enthralled.
