I'm not seething, I'm just lonely without my daily dog whistle from my beloved.

You loveless peons wouldn't understand, would you.
Because Capipis were in the Phase hole/onboard the Pipipi Express from debut. I was there when she pulled a gun on chat. I remember Pippa being a two view. I remember Kittyman. And Bird Prisoner screeching in the background. And her asshole roommates. And even the Hootler streams.
Ok, I'm a newfag, why are Harines so hated? I tried searching TVA, results are inconclusive
Initially the label Harine was just for Pippa's attempted rebrand with her new outfit. It's basically this. You know that guy you just saw in chat saying some faggy shit? Harine. Sperg on twitter? Harine. Someone being just slightly annoying? Kill yourself, Harine!
It was meant to be, yeah. Didn't exactly work though, clearly lol
Why didn't it stick tho? Did Pippa woman'd and decided she wanted her old look back or was it something else?
Never would've thought that funny incest game would hook me on vtubers)
Because Capipis will fucking KILL you.
It became slang for her newer fans. The ones that became part of Pippa's community post-Shipkin (attempted) rebrand, or around that time. They tend to be the more annoying, pushy types that are a mix of trying to LARP as her parents, obsessing over feet (and her pits because notice me Jim-senpai), being so obnoxious with the coomer shit Pippa herself had to go off on them, and being super tryhard with the 4chan humor and /pol/ diatribes.
Pippa just has autism over inventing really in-depth characters and stories for all of them, and that includes for vtubers. I remember her saying at one point that she had like a dozen ideas for vtuber concepts lying around, including assets and stream layouts, and that's nowhere more evident than in who she was as Yuni Luna (you can see this with her CopiumCat account as well) but even as Pippa she likes to change things up a bit. That was what she was doing with the Harine thing - not necessarily rebranding as much as trying to make a different brand for the same account. While the effort was pretty impressive, it didn't stick.
honestly I think it's for her own good that being a corpo constrains her in that regard. As Yuni she had what, 3 models? 4 if you count the recent changes on Yuni twitter.
I think it kinda did stick, no? She uses the model regularly, feels like more often than the OG one, and the layout stuff is still there from what I saw.
I mean moreso in terms of the fan impact. They still consider themselves Capipis and most prefer the old capipi design over the harine or whatever design.
From what I saw it didn't have much to do with her outfit. It's just autists being afraid of change. There was discussion on /pcg/ back then that she would pull a Nyanners because she wanted to change the fan name, her alerts, her emotes and stuff like that.
Could we call these proto-Harines then ?
