Monthly reminder that he dropped out of College.

Did he? I guess he liked having white anime hair too much.

Okay, I know the Hero Forge story was so eight hours ago at this point, but here's my takeaway from the stream by this Konotomo guy.

First off, Konotomo disclosed that he had been to a party hosted by HF at Twitchcon while "crossfaded," which the internet is telling me is what I knew back in my day as "crunk" - simultaneously stoned on marijuana and drunk. While his video and the advice in it seemed generally competent to me, if I was in need of a lawyer and was given the choice between one who a) attended Twitchcon b) attended a party at Twitchcon c) attended a party at Twitchcon while under the influence(s), and hiring one who had done none of those things and also sticking a rusty knitting needle up my urethra, well, go get me granny's old cookie tin and some maximum-strength Tylenol. That being said, he didn't say anything to make me think there's a non-zero chance he snorted coke off a Jamaican gigolo's erection while watching his best friend screw his wife while his eleven kids were back in Minnesota making boxed mac and cheese for each other, so he might not be that bad by vtuber-adjacent streaming lawyer standards.

He said he's seen many other agency contracts, and despite saying the 20% cut in the HF one is normal (fuck it is? Maybe by the standards of "Raid sponsorship finders" like Mythic, but not by traditional vtuber agencies), he said the contract quality was much better than the norm. He noted that the contract's mutual indemnity clause was unusual; this basically states that if either side violates the contract, they are liable to pay the attorney fees and other such fees incurred by the other party - usually this will be one-sided on the side of the company.

On the issue of whether the talents had cause to leave before the 30 days were up, he points out the quite clear fact that the phrase "with cause" is vague and, going through the list of complaints that the talents brought to River, it's not really cut and dry. The list of complaints was rather interesting, I thought; aside from things like not getting any return for the money and management being unfocused, they complained about management throwing parties at Twitchcon and Offkai. While such parties might be a great way to get one's name out to attendees, I'd argue that the number of attendees to these things is minuscule compared to the wider audience, so there were probably better ways for HF to advertise (this is my opinion, not Konotomo's).

As for River suing the talents for breach of contract and Podge specifically for defamation, Konotomo all but begged River to see that this made no financial sense. River by his own admission was losing money on this, so what damages could he claim that the talents cost him? Podge was wrong about HF not being a company just because it's registered as a sole proprietorship (though Konotomo believes that River may be unlawfully operating under a DBA while doing so) but there's not clear evidence Podge knew that to be incorrect while saying so in her stream, so trying to claim it was slander is dicey. The talents' claims that past contract breaches should have been actioned immediately rather than River trying to collate them now to use in his case may have some merit - I forgot the term for it and didn't put it in my notes, but basically if one side to a contract knows there's a breach in contract but doesn't bring it up or act upon it at the time and instead just continues doing business, that party forfeits the ability to bring up the breach in lawfare later.

tldr, it's in both sides' best interest to try to learn what they can from this shitshow and move on.



Holy fuck, you're right. Fansly accounts linked right from the profiles on their talent page. What the fuck.

Vshojo should take notes with this level of talent freedom

Men we are born too late to be able to start a family with a stable income.

Too early for women off of SSRIs

But just in time for our girlfriends to pressure us into doing porn as well as paying a stranger to make us feel better about our dicks.

Western vtubing was a FUCKING MISTAKE

 

[CalciumAnimal]

I actually think it's Rie, and I've seen a lot of others thinking so too. Could be wrong, so hopefully one of them will talk about it more. I can't remember completely, but I feel like Rie has done harsh vocals in the past, but I can't remember for what.

Whoever did them, they did a pretty good job. So props to them for it. The cover itself was good too. All three of them did a good job on it.

I i wasin't compelled to mock Rie at every turn i would presumably mention she actually has a stupid voice capable of a wide range of vocals and genre styles

shame ill never actually say that though.

Airi has seemed to like singing those sort of segments of songs in her karaokes.

Imagine having to have your girlfriend pressure you into doing porn instead of selling her on the idea of getting lonely retards to pay money to watch someone they'll never touch get rammed, in order to stave off their own impending suicide for one more night.

 

[Scoots]

I'm 90% sure the screaming is Airi. Her screams have some sort of tune that I can pick up on after hearing her banshee scream so many times. Could be wrong tho, you know, cause I had airi scream into my hears many times.

Yep. Rie confirmed it was her. Guess she realized that everyone was curious about it, so she almost immediately started the stream confirming it was her, lol. Good job to her on these vocals. They sounded pretty good.

Wow she killed it all three of them were great and that Airi art

I asked ChatGPT to make a class for them:

The Prostitute​

Masters of charm, deception, and seduction, Prostitutes use their bodies, minds, and wits to manipulate others to their advantage. Whether working in the seedy backstreets or infiltrating noble courts, they are skilled in gathering secrets, controlling minds, and, when necessary, eliminating threats with a kiss or a whisper.

[Ｍｕｒｒａｙしないで]

The only one I accept. Steel. Industrial.

No, chicken wire's where it's at, man.



Hexagons are sexagons…

So it was a registered sole proprietorship but also a company? How? Did they run parts of the business through both or something? (Illegal where I am). I would think the same thing as Podge in that case, so can't blame her.

I won't pretend to be a lawyer or understand it all completely but a sole proprietorship at least gives you an entity separate from yourself for setting up bank accounts, filing taxes, and so on. Whether that entity can be called a "company" might be something that varies based on local laws but apparently it is in Canada and I'm like 80% sure it's the same in the US too.

Imagine having to have your girlfriend pressure you into doing porn instead of selling her on the idea of getting lonely retards to pay money to watch someone they'll never touch get rammed, in order to stave off their own impending suicide for one more night.

Thank you for this unrequested perspective into your psyche, Mister Howard.

But maybe I'm not one to talk since I'm stuck on the "imagine having a girlfriend" part.

Mostly because they're projecting their own persecution complex onto others. The truly Brainrotted need an adult in their life, since they can't do it for themselves. It's a lot of the reason their counter-points are incredibly dumb.
