Graduation of Pomu Rainpuff

[Stunned But Dumb]

I wonder what Scuddle thinks of all this, only good things I'm sure.

Spoiler: Salute

Man, I always say that vtubers who choose to leave of their own accord should be celebrated and sent off with a smile, but I wonder now if that's always been a defence mechanism. I was on the Farms live-tweeting Pomu's debut and I've stuck with her ever since, and now I'm sat here completely paralysed since her stream started. It hurts.

I'll keep watching my Niji oshis and I'll keep buying tickets for concerts, but I don't find any joy in coming online to combat misinformation, offer differing perspectives, or even posting the positive stuff anymore. At the very least, not in circles where it feels these kind of announcements are celebrated. I think I'm just over it.

For the last few months I've been compiling info behind the scenes on a Discord server grooming a major JP V-Tuber based on a tip I received. I put it on hold because I wondered who or what I was doing it for, and couldn't come up with an answer. I may or may not come back to post that in the future if I feel it has any value, but until then I guess this will be my last post.

Despite being memed on for my long-form replies and perceptions of being a tribalist, I did used to have a lot of fun messing around here. I've seen posts that mention be by name that call me a good person, or a valued member in this corner of TVA; I've received PMs thanking me for my contribution to the site and I'm very grateful for all of it. I genuinely loved that time I did a deep dive on the 'Kaburaki Roco' saga even though I knew I was rambling to people who didn't really care that much.

Do try to be more compassionate for the Niji fans who remain. It's been a tough year and it may very well get tougher before it gets better. These people are only guilty of loving their oshis too.

Best wishes and stay safe, you insufferable faggots.

I'm probably repeating myself rn, but i still think it is impressive how Anycolor always manage to reach new lows. They are so incompetent that at this point, it feels malicious.

On related news, seems like Anycolor is looking for a new director of overseas operations.

They are a little too late.

Not sure if whoever they get for the job will be able to do much considering that some of the core members left or will leave and the branch's reputation is at an all-time low, honestly, i just hope the new guy does a good job, these talents deserve better...

I would caution for my fellow Holo fans to not get too smug, I don't think Cover is near as bad with the JP corpo stupidity but it sounds like there were a few EN talents considering graduation (Kiara and Kronii iirc) but things turned around with new managers. And we still have a bunch of Myth members who barely stream, they could mass graduate.. though why give up a cushy easy gig where they can do that "casual quitting" thing and still get paid.

Niji could get new EN leadership, hit big on the next gen err "wave" like Cover did with Advent and be back in the mix. They need to find their own twin doggos feel good story.

Second job Omega's been fired from within a year and change.

Let's see if Brave decides to hire him next.

I'll die on this rrat.

Hololive started cooking a gen that will carry the burden before Myth graduates, though. They aren't definitely immune , but they are aware of the sword of damocles hanging over their head and are taking measures against it (imo), which should at least give a better result than what NijiEN most likely will experience in short term.

It's definitely not impossible for NijiEN, but its going to be pretty hard and some serious changes may be necessary, especially if they continue to lose pillars other than Selen during this period.

Wwith Dimitri Jap things only got better for Irys because there is still a lot of problems carried over from the administration of Omegalpha unsolved (Like Gura not streaming, a lot of projects not getting approval etc.)
I realy dont fucking know why Kronii and Kiara didnt graduate in 2023 unless they promised them something better for 2024, there was nothing stopping them from doing so

Just to stay in topic: Pomu got approval to release her members only streams right? So if she was allowed to release these videos in the first place why they do take it down now that people already clipped it and Dramafags already talked about it?

VSPO EN dead before it even started.

Selen: I'm finally free! And happy in my new, esports focussed corp!
VSPO EN: Hello, I'm your new m-
Canadian Hospital Nurse: Again?!

It could be that Omega has a brother who's equally inept as he is.

Also Lia was in chat around 11:30, but I have no way of verifying that was the real Lia account.

It is Lia, Pomu is Lia's kamioshi and is modded in pomu's chat. Here is Lia in the 600k karaoke stream. PFP match too.

archive.org capture with playable video proving that the video was previously public on Pomu's channel

btw seems like the archive.org sourse is dead. Here's a new link.

Wow, to think it's taken like four people leaving or intending to leave for them to realise they need to tighten stuff up before it gets worse.

I dont think she got approval but apparently its just a result of ending a channel's active memberships

No, all the videos had their membership requirement removed so it wasn't that. And her total video count went from 913 to 912 after the removal, so that was literally the only video affected.

Manually? I may be wrong but i recall once reading that membership content was auto made public after a channel's membership was ended, but im probably wrong

Its telling that they are seeing an active video of her gripes with management, that existed for months, and only quashing it once it was made publiv knowledge, truly an a+ tier move


If Niji didnt get that spurt of fujo money they would've flatlined the moment their golden age ended

No, because she literally did it mid stream - before the membership cancellation. You can check the timestamps on the forum, but the initial posts from me and others came literally in the middle of her final stream when it was released.

Looking at the last 2 waves, it looks like an Omega imprint (chuuni designs, heavy on lore and fucks up the talent).

Blame jap corpo autism, they always act too late on these kind of things.

About the Pomu video, most likely it is a big FUCK YOU move by Pomu to Kurosanji. She knows the rrats that membership video would bring out. Also proves how incompetent Niji's staff is, they don't watch their talent's content to remove those kinds of videos.

Thank you for the correction then, i was doubting it a bit after reading

It's only missing the bizarre "we have a-chan at home" self-insert that I still can't believe was actually a thing:

Just a reaction clip. Nothing much else to say since it’s already been said and speculated here before.
