We're more sensitive to loli stuff because of the controversy back home, but I get the feeling the mass market (well, as mass market-adjacent as anime can be) don't really think too deep into it. Remi and Shiina's designs raise an eyebrow to us but they're no more provocative than some of the anime on Crunchyroll etc., and they're multi-million dollar companies with all kinds of business partnerships.
Internet drama content can't disappear into the crowd as easily, since the mainstream media and internet personalities have made sure that the least charitable interpretation of every community that discusses it becomes the official story (even if it's a flat-out lie), so even acknowledging The Hacker Known as 4chan or the forum that literally kills transgender people in another context is a faux pas.
I'm glad that Pippa and Lumi are standing their ground about the content they want to cover on stream though I can understand why recent developments have scared Sakana into wanting to wrangle the community into at least hiding their power level a bit better. The kinds of people who might start shit over Phase's reputation as the "based" corpo wouldn't stop at getting a video taken down or a channel banned or whatever; they're nasty, malicious people who want to hurt anyone in the radius of a person or company they see as a target. What they did to Josh was the canary in the coal mine for that, and they got away with it. It makes sense to want to lie low in the areas these people are watching.
I'm relatively new to this community, having only lurked actively for several months, so my aversion to sexualization of children or child-like characters is not a result of being groomed into that by Josh. Maybe its because I'm not really an anime person, but does vshojo even have a sexualized loli that talks in a baby voice and plays up her stupidity while making blowjob sounds on asmr videos? I pretty much just watch hololive clips and pippa streams so maybe I'm just fucking oblivious if that's the case.
There's Nyanners if you want a deep rabbit hole to dive into, but the tl;dr is she made loli content years ago, disavowed it not out of genuine regret but just to virtue-signal, but now is a vtuber with a young-ish character model who talks in a high-pitched voice and makes sex jokes on stream. Hypocritically trying to play both sides I guess.
I guess the closest would be Amemiya Nezuna aka MikeNeko aka Uruha Rushia. I really haven't paid much attention to her character since her debut in Vshojo. But she delved strongly into the GFE type of streams in the past. Even crossing parasocial boundaries. I don't believe she ever made blowjob or lollipop sucking asmr content though. But given her model both in Hololive and now Vshojo, it can be a bit eyebrow raising if you're not familiar with anime culture. Both of her models were small, flat chested, with a young sounding voice.
vtuber corpos can actively cater to lolicons and insane creeps without any issues and are in fact financially rewarded for it, but anything "right leaning" (basically anything edgy) is a business risk and can get you canceled. At this point you just have to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
It's Mental Illness Awareness Week this week. I wonder what Phase Connect is doing to recognize the week.

I think at the very least if Pippa left Tenma and Lumi would be looking to leave as well if it due to content disputes. Not just because they'd be loyal to Pippa or whatever, but both of them have edgier content that would probably be in danger once the Pipnary in the company is gone. It would probably also be in both Phase's and their best interest at that point for a cleaner break that doesn't create any bad blood by trying to force things one way or the other.
For me the new design leans too much into coomerbait territory. The jiggle physics were there before but the new design as a whole doesn't appeal to me.What? No way. Her new model is way more expressive and fun.
In case you are also wondering why there are so much art of holo girls in certain outfits: Iofi started #HOLOctober and draws different members in different outfits every day. So far she drew:
day 1: Cali as a nun
day 2: Koyori as a nurse
day 3: Susei as a ballerina
There are some great pieces out there (especially for day 2)
I admit I'm not typically in the camp of being sensitive over loli, but having started off at the farms I did end up adopting a "Well even if I personally don't think it's too much, I'd better take a moment to think if the site owner does." Which I just carry over here.
It's definitely true that the vtuber anime girls, well, just look like anime girls. You can find any number of scantily clad girls in anime, manga, games, gachas, etc.
As you say though, the other hand part that sucks is that the entire internet is just cancerous with the perception of how things look. And these days anything that isn't toeing the line of the "correct values" makes you some sort of villain that not only needs beaten, but more or less removed from being allowed to exist.
We're in a timeline where half naked little girls is a general "That's fine." or cross dressing children is stunning and brave, but people try to cancel you if you throw out a Nigga during karaoke.
We'll just have to see if things change in time. Both with the Phase Connect stuff and the real life dumbassery.
Tenma is an interesting case I think. She's not actually super yab, but she IS aware of how retarded social media/cancel culture garbage has gotten and seems to know how to avoid those minefields. The woman definitely pokes fun at it. Sometimes I wonder if her ESL might give her a bit of immunity to it as well. As long as she doesn't say anything wild it's probably a bad look to try and swing at someone who's clearly not English twitter raised.
On the other hand I actually do believe she's loyal enough to roll with Pippa. If Pippa goes then Lumi likely leaves because she'll be dealing with the same issues Pippa did at that point or shortly after. Who else is going to be the phase yab master if Pips is gone? Yuri likely also goes with Lumi again, and the two of them already dealt with getting fucked over by a company so they're probably both ready to just shrug and say fuck it then.
That's a fair counterpoint, though the only reason I really brought up and singled out the wacko Korean christian churches is in response to the Mormon point of the guy.
I think if Pippa left there's going to be a lot more problems than that. Pippa has referred multiple people to Phase Connect, not to mention her plugs, raids, collaborations, and genmates helping each other. She's going to have great relationships with a lot of the company. And if their biggest streamer and likely biggest money-maker isn't feeling appreciated by PC, the rest of the group are definitely going to start wondering if they are better off elsewhere too, not to mention how bad a look it that would be for Phase Connect as a vtuber company. No, Fishman is going to bend over backwards to keep her in the company.
Tbh that surprises me about Tenma but at the same time I can believe it. The reason it surprises me is because out of all of them, hell even more than Holo, she seems very professional. She has talked about it briefly before but it's why she doesn't get too chummy with too many of her coworkers, because to her it's a job and something she enjoys but that's it, it's not some second life for her. Which I respect a lot. But I can see where she would at least be close enough with Pippa because from what I understand they knew each other previously and kinda came into the company together, they have a good friendship. Also I think she is smart enough to realize if they'd go fucking with the content of their #1 streamer they'd surely have no issues fucking with the content of #2 and so on as well, so if it would reach that point I think she'd prefer to maintain creative control as much as possible. And since she is frankly one of the most motivated talents PC has I think fishman would be retarded to risk losing both her and Pippa just so he can tardwrangle chat harder and appeal to, what again?
Tell me you've never watched Shiina without actually telling me you don't watch shiina.
My dude, she doesn't even show her model from the chest down because she's also uncomfortable with the clothing. If that's the only "lewd stuff" you have a pretty low bar. Remi, on the other hand creeps me out, even moreso knowing she has a loli-er or toddler form.
It's like PC management gave the risque models to the less yabai people (Airi and Shiina) to try to compensate..
Is vtubing how Australians think that they will become acceptable to the world?
IIRC at one point Pippa was going to have a Tanuki character to pair with Tenma's Kitsune.
Regarding the Sana Tower stuff... I mean, it makes sense that they weren't all tearing up, or whatever. Just because we don't see Sana anymore doesn't mean that they don't. They probably talk over discord or whatever all the time.
