I feel so immensely sorry that this man can no longer gouge customers harder than his pot metal knives can. Support local. Guys like Sensoka are making incredibly unique and beautiful custom metal merchandise items in their own garages using 3D printers and laser cutters. I'm studying how to do it myself right now. I will always prefer these kinds of people over Chinese sweatshop manufacturers. Every vtuber I know despises the Ching-Chongs and hates having to deal with their exploitative and deeply predatory business models. If industry bigwigs weren't more concerned with sucking the feminine penis than supporting professionals, this status quo would already be over. Adapt or die.

I don't know, I'm not fond of chinese steel as well because we have so many reports of it being brittle but that's just a consequence of them dominating the market. LATAM has a lot of resources and a big metallurgical industry just for it to export 99% of the good stuff because it's much more profitable, leaving us with the scraps of good blades.
Importing from Japan is too expensive, the sino that live here prefer to export our steel to Japan, there's no escape other than getting something decent and cheap from China. Many LATAM countries are getting fucked over imports as well, the US is feeling what we've felt for the last 10 years, I just didn't expect for the dominoes to fall backwards.

To be honest I doubt any noteworthy knife maker not forging in China would lower themselves to work with a vtuber brand.

Yes you can get actually good knives elsewhere but as we all know here: no waifu, no buy knifu

Credit due, this is far and beyond what most even non-drunk people acting like cunts will do, so props.

It just feels like she saw the shit she was being given and backtracked. Doesn't help me feel better that the other girl was still apologizing for some reason

You repeat this meme batch phrase from rightoid dolts, but right here we have Kaminari Clara, e-defender of justice for the oppressed minorites, and she loves her (very doting) father.

An occasional exception doesn't invalidate a general rule. I also know a leftard chick who loves her doting father but he's also a leftard.

Is going to be a good day when the doc drops on those 2, the grifter gimmick is getting stale now

 

[bothyourhouses]

How does a country like South Korea offer to cut non-existent tariffs?

Loudly and politely. You think anyone's actually going to care how many percent they reduced what by?

There's way too many vtubers who turn to the "girlfailure" trope when they have no other redeeming qualities, I always wonder how their simps don't get tired of it after the first few jokes

Remember a century ago when the public perception of women made their only quality being a hole?

I've literally seen every female vtuber be described as the ultimate girlfailure if that's all you have to bring to the table then you have might as well bring nothing even the two ones mentioned above have to try and appeal to the gooners

 

[MerelyTourist]

No you don't.
Never heard of Benchmade? Buck? Spyderco? Maserin?

Are they available for these quantities, in what timeframes and at what cost? And do they really forge and assemble them all in US, or majority is actually made somewhere overseas?

Is she seriously trying to keep going after what had happened?

Buck and Spiderco are a mixture of import and domestic manufacture and they will certainly do bulk orders, I've been on forums that have done custom group buys. (Buck is the Harley Davidson of knives, though, so why bother)

Benchmade is entirely US manufactured and the landing page of their website claims >1 million knives made per year in their Oregon facility, so I'd imagine they can handle whatever you're willing to pay for. Also seen forum custom group buys with custom steel/scales/engraving choices.

I always thought Maserin was French, website lists them as Italian. I guess they were sharing space with Opinel in my brain.

I can't help but feel like these 'girlfailure' gimmick 2view types are trying to emulate the early initial lightning in a bottle success someone like Pippa specifically had, but in an extremely cynical and calculating way to attempt milking maximum shekels out of an audience.

My thoughtprocess is this: by a lot of people's metrics, someone like Pippa from a few years ago would probably be considered a 'girlfail'. The stories she would tell for a couple years there - barely eating, inconsistent hygiene, antisocial, paranoia bordering on schizophrenia, extreme anxiety, difficulty making friends, ants crawling around constantly in handcam streams, moldy shit - had the effect of very easily endearing people to her, rallying behind her and rooting for her. Especially after the footstream, the industry took notice of her, and a lot of people appear to have taken the wrong lessons from it.

These 2view 'girlfailure rawr x3 so quirky and schizo BASED!!!' freaks revel in being a 'girlfailure' as a substitute for personality, making it their literal one defining trait. They cater themselves exclusively, and knowingly, to an audience of people whom maintain an eternal crabbucket mentality, and directly, explicitly, also attempt sexually appealing to them in a way that horseshoes back around to literally just being actual whores ('but they're /here/ 4chan whores so they're based!!!' - probably what their viewers would say)

What these imitators fail to realize is that a big part of Pippa's initial lightning in a bottle is that the 'girlfailure' aspect was just part of who she actually was. Genuinely, and not part as a bit, or as a main drawingpoint. It was not something that was actively seriously reveled in, she knew she had problems and she even did streams specifically regarding attempting to remedy them. Nor was it her one personality trait. One of the greatest joys I've had in my time on the entire Internet is from being a longterm fan of her and seeing her slowly, genuinely improve her life. The Pippa now is way better off than she was even just a year and a half ago (before the rekindling w/ parents). Now she has friends, now she goes outside, now she talks to people, now there's no ants or mold. It is a very satisfying thing to see unfold, and I think this is one of the huge pivots between an actual 'girlfail' like Pippa and these 'girlfailure rawr x3 so quirky and based' ones: the real ones actually want to improve their lives and don't revel in it as an actual purposeful defining eternal trait or adhere to audience crabbucketing. And something's telling me that we'll never see someone like Elfinpsyop actually go through an arc such as this. I suppose I could be wrong, I do not watch her, but literally everything I've seen from her in bulletpoints on this forum gives me the impression that she has the surfacelevel 'girlfail' aesthetic while failing to have any of the actual sincerity.

e: I just realized I basically repackaged what Proctor already said weeks ago. Oops.

The difference between Pippa and the fake girlfailures is that Pippa doesn't revel or exploit her girlfailure status. She is what she is because of life circumstances and a total lack of better options or guidance. To her, what she does is normal. She gets defensive about it, she downplays it, and what's important is that she changes if exposed to a superior way for long enough. She is, by whatever relative margin you wish to use, better off, healthier, more stable and functional than she was 3-4 years ago. Meanwhile the fake girlfailures revel in what they claim to be. They aren't disgusted by themselves and don't have elaborate justifications for why they are the way they are. They're just 'uwu sweaty gooner eyebag girl uwu irl watamote gf' with all the depth of a puddle.
