General Thread v4mirai: Brought to you by Brave

Did anyone catch what Gura said about her health issues? I joined the SameTori stream at the tail end of the conversation, so I missed it.

She's finding it difficult to care about food[sounds like a depression symptom but who knows] and her joints are fucked up.

 

[Abomination]

This talk about Internet anonymity has got me thinking and has changed my perspective. Everyone should make all of their info and identities public. I think it's important for the entire World Wide Web to know who I actually am and all of my info be public. So, this is the real me:

Spoiler: My real identity

Name: Boxy Brown.

My voice:

Spoiler: Real response

How the fuck is anyone going to argue against anonymity in a place like this? Even if a vtuber's PL is an open secret, who cares if it's not acknowledged out in the open? Vtubers all over the sphere have been doing just fine with this for a long time now.

Thank you for seeing the real me.

I can't believe Merely Tourist got his crown stolen as the Head Retard. Now he just gets to be the resident cuckold enthusiast. Today sucks...

If I ignore usernames I would swear they were the same person based on the way they argue

Time​

Cute Airi hot mic clip plus I spliced some clips of the talent she was fangirling over in there too. I say again Airi has good taste

Lilpa is nice but Ine is the real deal.

I have noticed a new breed of people who are just obsessed with PL after the Selen shit. There used to be people like us, who dont care, or others who gossiped about it like some of naughty, naughty bad boy shit.

But now there seems to be this growing obsession with PL and being as loud and obnoxious about it as possible (looking at you kurosanji) the sekrit knowledge autism seems to have bred with corpo hate to create this "it's a moral obligation to talk about PL at every chance" people.

I don't think it's a new obsession, I blame Twitch/VShojo/Talent Freedom. Kson might be patient zero for mainstream acceptability.

(for example this shit from 2022 has almost 2 million views)

 

[Sankisei]

We're in that world already - just look at Fauna - I just wish everyone be honest about it rather than nudge-wink bullshit. Corpos would still be viable as long as they're pulling their weight. We might see more 1-year non-competes

Non-competes are fucking worse.....
And i doubt corpos would even set them on just 1 year ....

They are both thinking with their balls instead of their brains, they are not so different. And the other one is far more degenerate than a Tourist

Also, Selen/Dokibird vs Nijisanji meltdown.
After the drama, it became more acceptable to share Vtuber PL to "support" talents if and when they decide to move past their corpo lives but mostly it's just people sharing 'muh sikret information' to get a leg up over the other drama channels.

I think vtubers in China could publish their name (does this law actually say they need to publish a photo too or is that you exaggerating?) and carry on the same, and I'm baffled that they'd rather stop streaming than do that.

Nothing to do with your argument but Chinese Vtubing FUCKING SUCKS : its a bad hill to die on
Why do you think they keep importing English ,Japanese and Indonesian vtubers to their space?

 

[God's Strongest Wardog]

Oh man, could you imagine if Wactor or pre-Brave Idol handed out No-compete clauses? The industry has enough shitshows with just NDAs, hitting someone that can't fucking fill a McDonald's application with the funny legal document telling you you need to wait three years before you can pretend to be an anime girl again...

 

[frz]

I work in car loans and you have no idea how common this shit is, it was even worse when I worked in debt collections, some people I could understand, like the ones that got laid off during the pandemic but some just let shit run over months or years and then act all high and mighty when their score is at 400

I love how high and might Westerner act about a social credit score system China uses when they are already under one.

We're in that world already - just look at Fauna - I just wish everyone be honest about it rather than nudge-wink bullshit. Corpos would still be viable as long as they're pulling their weight. We might see more 1-year non-competes (which is always a starting point for negotiation, not the end of it) or setups like the Brave Idol deal where the corpo retains a revenue share for a fixed period.

I'm not saying it would be beneficial. I'm just saying I don't think it kills the medium. I think vtubers in China could publish their name (does this law actually say they need to publish a photo too or is that you exaggerating?) and carry on the same, and I'm baffled that they'd rather stop streaming than do that.

Not your current photo.
But a photo of your government ID. Which entails birthdate, home addresss, hometown.
Chinese Gov ID address usually requires a permenant residence. A.k.a usually your parents' place.
And the database already got hacked once.

>use to play League
Does Fishman meet and recruit this one through league too? I guess it makes sense. If someone can tolerate turbo League toxicity and unnecessary whining, they are perfect to be a talent manager.

Every girl on the internet 10 years ago play league.

Short story time. Suiika, a vtuber rigger and artist, releases a high-quality vtuber model: well-rigged, easily customizable, all for about $115. She's spent a year working on this project to get everything right for release. You'd have to spend a lot more than that to get something of a similar level of quality elsewhere.



(a)

Example customizations:

Spoiler

As you can see, while there are some similarities - understandable since you're using a base template and modifying it - it's pretty easy to change skin colour, outfit style and colour, eye colour, add ear types, hair ornaments, and so forth. If you don't have a model and you just want to start streaming, it looks great and is a pretty good deal, is what I'm saying.

Now, let's get into how it all went wrong:

First, there were no "people of colour" hair styles. Suiika couldn't draw them to the standard she wanted, and she couldn't afford to commission hair styles, so didn't initially include them. That's worth hate mail and harrassing Suiika, apparently.

(a)

Next, people decided to give away her model files for free, and without crediting Suiika for her work.


(a)

Oh, and it was also apparently too expensive.

tl;dr fuck everyone involved in ruining what should have been a great moment for this woman. EDIT: Stopped being a yamanba and archived tweets and added links.

That channel is absolute fucking cancer, just straight-up putting the roommate information in titles and thumbnails for drama clicks in a way that people who don't want to engage with that can't do anything to avoid. It's so obvious they're pandering to the demographic of tourists who got into vtubing specifically to a-log Nijisanji.

I remember seeing at least Mint and Matara complain about this channel previously, I think Kuro may have too. Wouldn't surprise me if everyone they clip hates them.

Please archive this stuff, it's obviously the kind of thing that might be deleted in future. I'm about to head to bed so all I can do right now is local screenshots.

I'm reminded of the incident a while back where a girl complained about her original artist not being able to do black hair well, threw a shitfit on twitter, and then replaced it with worse art. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Found it. Left is original.

Uh huh. So you'd be perfectly fine with your real-life identity becoming tied to your account on this website, where everyone you know is only one search away from learning that you commissioned cosplay porn of an underaged anime character, that you think it's neat to have nude photos of friends and coworkers, or how you use the services of rub-and-tug parlors?

Now imagine you're a vtuber with loads of deranged parasocial fans who would just love to break into your house and make you theirs, if it means strangling you and wearing your skin like a coat. See Camila just this past November.

Use the brain in your head next time, not the one in your dick.
