Guys I think Coni is even dunking on Valve fans

Even valves loves fucking with them they dropped a new Half-Life VR game half a decade ago only to say nothing since. They will never make Half-Life 3 and the sooner people realize that the sooner they can move on with their lives

Axel's 4th outfit reveal. I know for a fact he's gonna put the lebron one up and then sperg about the axel/lebron joke art and fanfic

Edit: 9 minutes and we're dumping on twitterfaggots, showing displeasure with the fictional japanese and #deportaxel is a thing

Edit 2: He sperged about the axel/lebron yaoi 15 minutes in without showing a single outfit and came out as straight

Maybe it's just all the vtubers who are single moms looking for how to be successful as vtuber and be married

Guys I think Coni is even dunking on Valve fans

Valvetards are the flat earthers of video games. Half Life 3 obviously attracts most of this with the endless churn of slop videos with titles like this:

HALF LIFE 3 HOPIUM | Here's why Valve WILL announce it at E3 2008! 2009! 2010! 2011! 2012! 2013! 2014! 2015! 2016! 2017! 2018! 2019! 2020! 2021! 2022! 2023! 2024! 2025! (<== YOU ARE HERE BTW)

Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead, and Portal all experience this as well, though to a much lesser degree. TF2 copium is at times funnier than the HL3 hopium conspiracy because Valve has made it crystal clear that they don't give a shit about the game at all yet for some reason the same people trust them to not botch all these other properties.

Considering the emphasis Cover has apparently been putting on using consistent character designs for branding purposes (e.g. talents talking about how there's a limit to how frequently they're allowed to use alternate models), it seems odd that they'd put an Ina head without flaps or squishy hair into art for a collab where they're trying to expose Hololive to the non-vtuber-watching public.

a collab where they're trying to expose Hololive to the non-vtuber-watching public.

This is probably the reason, also a one-off collab is much less damaging to branding than a new outfit that will exist until the talent graduates and will be used thousands of times and appear in merch. The outfits which are restricted are all pretty massive character departures anyway, like furball korone (the only outfit we know was restricted), ina has a couple of outfits without tentacles already iirc.

Perhaps they thought that Ina without flaps or squishy hair would appeal more to the non-vtuber-watching public. The flaps would have gotten in the way of her cap anyway.

Pregnancy not only saves the vtuber from mental health problems but also boosts views

PREGNANCY WILL SAVE VTUBING​

Holy fuck you are right
I think Gigi Murin should face a public execution tomorrow as an apology to Ina

Squishies are canonically optional, and the flaps are resizable too:

The flaps are under the cap.

He is out of line but he is also correct

Nova certainly knows how to run the gauntlet, and only to end up at Vrev.

Even in her alt design, the traces of the flaps are still present and she has a hairclip based on the crown in her default design. Ina with flaps and squishies is instantly recognizable. The only Ina-specific design element in the dodgers art is the pointy ears. At a glance, you could mistake Ina for Subaru. Overall I think it's a minor issue, but it just seems strange that they'd skip the chance to use a more iconic Ina face.

(Also, I'll be annoyed if they force Ina to use her default outfit for the collab. Cover seems to have a hard-on for the default outfits in these sort of things, and Ina's default outfit is probably they most normie-unfriendly of any of her costume choices. Making her use it would just reinforce the idea of vtuber fans as a bunch of lolicon coomers in peoples' minds.)

Probably because default outfits are how the talent is most often presented, to a new viewer or a normie if they see a vtuber in one of the alts once and then see them in another alt they will probably not make the connection right away, but since the default pops up so much, there's a higher chance of the person recognizing who they're even looking at. There's a reason why defaults get redesigns while outfits almost never do, I do agree on Ina's default being normie unfriendly, but in general amerifat normies already think vtubers are pedo shit or porn thanks to twitch.
