How come there isn't any Alunya impersonator!?

File: 1608528984653.jpeg (738.56 KB, 2894x4093, 899.jpeg)

Not much of a vtuber fan, I only occasionally watch clips, but I'm saddened to hear that even something as innocent as the vtuber sphere has been infected with politics and will breed new reactionaries out of lonely people with nothing better to do. Is no form of escapism safe from politics anymore?

>>3388
What happened, exactly?
The hololive thread on /jp/ is just too fast to get any good info.
No, really, it's even faster that the damn trump general on /pol/
>I'm saddened to hear that even something as innocent as the vtuber sphere
That shit is corporate as fuck, dude.
It actually surprised me how quick it got porkied up.

I find it hilarious. The /jp/sies are positively pissing themselves with rage.

>>3390
Haato was looking at audience statistics and mentioned Taiwan. Sometime after Coco showed an analytics page with Taiwan on it, her bilibili stream immediately went down. Chinese fans demanded an apology day one, radio silence for three days which made Chinese fans furious. Then Coco and Haato got suspended for three weeks by their management which made Japanese and English language fans furious. Now the CCP is somehow being blamed even though I'm not sure what the CCP had to do with it directly speaking.

The /jp/ thread is actually kinda entertaining.
>Some vtuber defends the chinese
>Half of the thread loses their shit (including some paypigs)
The rest of the thread is just glowie propaganda.

>>3393
Actual CIA niggers think that chapos are the most threatening thing about the left, they don't know shit about this. This is just homegrown reddit/pol/ autism.

/anime/ - Shit-eating Youtube Celebrities

This is just another example of COVER being shit with protecting their employees, and I'm really not looking forward to all the free HK style spam that will probably be shit out, so I'll try to shift to watching indies.

Does anyone have that story about burgers that flipped out over a Che mural put up in Ireland?

In the event of Coco and Haato graduating by the end of three weeks, I hope K Son can kind of come back to the indie scene and give Haato a hand.

>>3395
/anime/ was approved as a general weeb board newfriend

>>3397
What are the indies anyways?

>>3401
Kagura Mea is one

>>3388
e-celebs wearing an anime girl face are still e-celebs.

>>3391
/jp/ has reclined.

>>3407
>/jp/ has reclined.
Some things never change however. The pedophile group that believes lolikon pornography is exclusively made by and for pedophiles is still claiming this in 2020 even though it's been debunked by historical research of the lolikon phenomenon and its fanbase in Japan.

>>3410
What does this have to do with the thread and why is it the third time someone brings it up on an unrelated thread? Are you that desperate for attention?

>>3508
>What's wrong with vtuber ecelebs?
Social media might be more up your alley.

I don't know much about v-tubers. i only watch the funny english clips.

I don't get how can anyone stomach watching these, their face-tracking software is pure garbage. I tried watching some clips of them singing but they might as well just put up a static image instead of some half-assed animation that does not match the movements involved in singing at all.

>>3411
We were talking about the state of /jp/ friend take it easy, also this is my first time bringing it up on bunkerchan, where else is this being mentioned?

File: 1608528986436.jpg (144.27 KB, 750x1000, c.jpg)

My friend group is already shitting out reactionary anti-China memes that reminds me of the Hog Kog glowie retardation. I'm hoping the issue will just pass, people will shift focus to YouTube removing community contributions or something, and nobody tries to escalate the issue by doubling down.

>>3390
tl;dr: They recognized Taiwan as a separate entity from China which violates the One-China policy.

>>3392
>>3418
so to get this straight, a bunch of Chinese fans got upset over the mention of Taiwan, and their company overreacted and might fire them because of it?

>>3439
>a bunch of Chinese fans got upset over the mention of Taiwan,
It's a bit more complex than that. From what I can tell, everyone's oversimplifying the situation and leaving out the fact that there's a whole chain of unfortunate coincidences that caused the Chinese to think that Coco hated them, which is why they forgive Haato but some are calling for Coco's head.

>and their company overreacted and might fire them because of it?

Cover Corp isn't good at protecting their employees and this incident is coming right after the Mano Aloe's forced retirement, so people are freaking out thinking "the goddamn commies killed coco!!!!1!!" when they really just gave them a 3 week break.

The company has issued out a couple of statements on the matter, but people don't accept apologies easily these days, so y'know…

>>3441
>From what I can tell, everyone's oversimplifying the situation and leaving out the fact that there's a whole chain of unfortunate coincidences that caused the Chinese to think that Coco hated them, which is why they forgive Haato but some are calling for Coco's head.
Yes, I remember reading that Chinese fans think Coco hates them. Mind elaborating how this happened?


CANCEL CULTURE GONE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>3442
From what I've read, they think that Coco did it deliberately because her analytics showed she had a lower Chinese viewer/dono base than the other vtubers.

>>3447
Do people on Bili even care?

It's just REEEEEEEEing at some minority of chinese posters

I can't be arsed to look into it more since all the discussions zones are flooded with useless anti-communist reactionary trash, but it looks like Coco's incident happens right after Haato's incident which made some people think she was doubling down and personally giving China the middle finger.

The people going "wtf commies killed coco" are just reactionaries that watch garbage like Hero Hei and won't do anything but continue to be fed garbage by YouTube's autoplay algorithm.

I don't understand why idiots think Cover Corp would just fire their two best employees like that's a terrible business approach. The circumstances are completely different from the Mano Aloe incident since Mano Aloe barely lasted a month under Cover Corp so there was really no risk.

Virtual Youtubers (shorten to vtubers).
They're basically like regular game streamers but they have anime avatars and roleplay as their characters.
Most of them are Japanese, but there's a growing number of English-speaking vtubers as well.


>>3976
They're youtubers that use software to overlay a cartoon character over their face that tracks their movements, so it's like the cartoon cahracter is the one playing the game.

Perhaps it is merely time before grifters start making political videos with anime avatars.


it's absolute capitalist decadence, but a perfect representation of how fucking alienated today's people are. For crying out loud some people fantasize about fucking these poorly animated anime avatars instead of actually getting laid. It's sad and pathetic at the sime time and I honestly try not to think about it too much because it just makes me more depressed than I already am.

Most of them do it hoping to get big enough to make a living off of it. It's no different from regular streaming, in any way except that they are more anonynous.

This once again shows the superiority of Oriental cartoons. Unlike the fake gun wielding, Cal Arts aesthetic persona of Roo, this virtual persona not only does actual organizing and real praxis but carries actual weapons and does not conceal their affiliations, broadcasting their communism through their uniform.

>>4171
Damn, they must be really great actors then



Most Vtubers (the ones with a cute anime girl avatar) are a depressing reminder of the state of the world and weebs today

Some Vtubers are ok though. I used to like Kizuna Ai, she wasn't trying to be disgustingly kawaii, she didn't fake a childish anime accent, and she reacted like a real fucking person, at least compared to all these 2D Vtubers

>>4196
That's the whole point of vtubers. They act not like real people just enough to be "anime-like" in their attitude, but not embarassingly childish.
It wouldn't have became as popular if they were mainly acting or not acting at all.
I do not really understand why you chose Kizuna Ai as an example, because she is very obvious with her being just an actor.

Social media threads should stay in social media.
Thank you and godo night.

A) Social media is any digital tool that allows users to quickly create and share content with the public. WE ARE SOCIAL MEDIA you fucking twat, we're just anonymous and don't require an account to post
B) This thread was moved from /leftypol/ to the next most appropriate board according to mods - /anime/. It's not even that popular and is only higher in the catalog because it's new.

>>3969
It's pretty much the same as regular streamers. People do feel they are more "authentic", ironically, because since they are "anonomized" by their avatars it feels like they are more honest somehow.

It's bullshit tho. They're just as much playing personas as everyone else online. Some of them are very good entertainers, and quite funny, but most of them are just subpar comedians/actors/singers "enhanced" by some decent character design.

I do like watching some of them, but honestly, it's not really very relevant, they were just lucky because the pandemic raised online viewerships for obvious reasons, which exploded their channels.

>>5005
It feels more authentic because you know that the character you see is a persona. While with an actual person there is an expectation that they are somehow "real". It's like rap music artist are expected to be hood to come off as authentic while metal musicians can be the dorkiest skinny fucks possible because they have a more thick layer of personality that is pretty obviously fake.

>>5010
That is true. The expectations are definitely different, which does contribute to less of a "whiplash" when they obviously end up not being the way they act on stream. Still, the fundamental premises are the same, that is, it's all just an (sometimes elaborate) act.
Honestly the puritanism that people declare against this sorta stuff and anime is pointless honestly, commodities are commodities, no matter if they are cars or cute anime girls. I do get really annoyed by all the pseudo-Nechayevs in this board, ready to give up every and all small pleasures for the sake of a hypothetical revolution and to chastise people who aren't """as strong""" as them.

The one interesting thing about vtubers that supports my theory is that a lot of them just seems like a bunch of perverts. Gawr for example despite the generally more "innocent" persona was doxxed and made like a bunch of horny posts in the past and I think she has been known to "like" twitter posts of lewd pictures of her character.
The other vtubers are much, much more open in their general horniness. Hell the very first popular "vtuber" was IMO project melody a straight up cam whore who is actually liked instead of disdained by people outside the people who jerk off to them.

>>5020
that's the main argument for the "authenticity" i feel, but it's just the anonomity (despite how easy it is to figure out who are the people behind the avatars). There is a certain perverted candidness about being honest behind a mask, right? Like those weird european bourgeois parties.

>>4187
Senzawa was better

>>5020
>Gawr for example despite the generally more "innocent" persona was doxxed and made like a bunch of horny posts in the past
You can't just claim that and not provide some links.

>>5024
Well you can just take a look at >>5023, since that's who anon was talking about. I mean it's not even subtle.

In all honesty, being a vtuber seems like a better gig than being a regular streamer, the layer between the person and the persona probably absorbs a bit of the impact of death threats and the general unpleasantness of being a public person. Still probably a pretty crappy job tho, unless you hit it really big like hololive (and even then it still sounds kinda shit)

/v/tubers are the newest low otaku culture has cultivated. no passion, no engagement, just idiots obsessing over boardroom picked anime avatars talking over video games. They are literally just twitch streamers hiding behind a 2D face to trick retards into thinking they are a cute anime girl.

Actually there is literally no otaku culture involved except complete and utter lies. Take the technology away and there is nothing left except some 3D twat

/v/tubers are built on deception and you deserve to be ridiculed for having no self respect. Lower than people donating money on chaturbate.

>>5497
He's implying melody wasn't the first popular vtuber which is true.

>>5621
How is that different from any other streamer though? Most streamers are cute women or eboys, that is people you like to look at. If anything it lays the artificiality of the medium bare. Real streamers fake authenticity, but with vtubers, there is not pretense, it is just a character.

>>5026
VTubers are like the middle road between "using an avatar and a robot voice" and "using your own face and your own voice".
They're kinda like Rantsonas minus the mad with an audience that usually pumps out really good art.

>>5497
I think Melody was more niche rather than actually popular.
She kinda just exists after the "OMG CAMGIRL VTUBER STRIPPER" wave fizzled out, then apparently joined VShoujo with Nyanners and whoever.

>>5629
>She kinda just exists
She's not getting nonstop media coverage anymore, but she's still arguably the most popular EN vtuber with the rest of VShojo and their outer members trailing behind her.

Been seeing quite a bit of anticorporate discussion against the company that manages Hololive, Cover Corp. Seems like the idol/streamer format is particularly useful towards questioning the place and utility of "management" (as in, the corporate structure that "manages" the idols) of the talents, given that they could just as well stream by themselves and often are impeded and pointlessly blocked by management. Didn't expect this silly hobby to have some small anticapitalist possibilities, which goes to show that these sort of discussions are becoming a bit more widespread (though i wouldn't really hold my breath about anything radical arising from this)

Yes, that's the point. I liked her exactly because of that. She may do a cute voice but the way she talks makes it much more tolerable than other Vtubers' voices.
I also like Himono for her art tutorials but when I discovered her I had no idea that just using an animated avatar instead of your real face turned you into a "Vtuber" so I didn't consider her one. Apparently I was wrong though.

If you watch a stream of one of them you will see they are making alot of money with that
But what happens with the money?
The V-Tuber doesnt own the character the voice or the channel
So theoretically hololive could just pay them minimum wage couldnt they? Like people are saying V-Tuber are getting rich but I just dont see why the companies should pay more than the absolute minimum

It's disgusting and anyone over the age of 18 should feel ashamed of enjoying this kind of barney the dinosaur kind of crap.

Ew.

The company itself is a corporate shithole no surprise. Which is why independence is so important here. The redeeming part of the whole hololive thing is the community and the personalities but outside that when it comes to corporate formalism it’s complete shit and bureaucratic.

I honestly don’t understand why things like “antis” exist and this whole thing with China and Taiwan is pathetic nationalist shit. I’m all for a nation to have self determination but at the expense of discipline? Of not having a bunch of retard nationalist starting shit?

Thank god vtuber fans will face the wall in the end

>>8084
there's like a billions of chinamen. The CPC slaps the ones who harass others when they can but they can only do so much honestly.

>>8086
They’re not doing enough. They should take the nationalist and ironically make them work 14 hour days 6 days a week in a factory with no ventilation in order to teach them about shedding their nationalist reactionary views.

>>8056
If you know japanese this is totally worth it. You'll find niche stuff like drug and porn addicts that don't behave like literal fucking babies instead of garbage like Hollowlive and imitators.

>>8105
Those are the ones that get the most hate, aren't they? Why are the Japanese like that?

>>8088
The CPC know they'll need cannonfodder when the war with the US will come. And nationalists have the perfect mindset for that.

2ch is blowing up over this. Apparently during the ending portion of Pekora's stream she was talking about food and she mentioned a store that she thought was a chain, but apparently it's only a local shop. It wouldn't have been a big deal but she said it only took her a couple of minutes to walk there if she takes a certain route(giving specific landmarks she goes by even). She basically told people exactly where she lives. She privated the stream right after and the part was cut out, but someone recorded it and it's spreading everywhere. I don't know anything about Tokyo, but maybe someone here can find the location. Here's the portion she cut.

I feel like Haachama is just delaying the inevitable. Her creative talents has been stripped away through YouTube and Hololive’s Enforcement and she’s being harassed as well. She’s taken so many breaks as well this year.

I hate so much that the hololive board on Futaba is hundreds of times more active than the generic vtuber board. Fucking otaku, man.

>>8253

also does futaba have a nijisanji board?

>>8182
Controversial like what? Hololive members have gotten into controversy multiple times. "Fans" have also done some insane shit.

>>8185
>>8212
Something similar happened last year after a new hololive member, Mao Aloe, leaked her real identity. She and her ex-boyfrend got harassed and after a short while she quit or was fired.

>>8181
I really hope Pekora can avoid this shit. I fucking hate these anti shitheads that harass idols. The fact such a small minority of people can ruin an idol's career is fucked. As much money as the fuckers at Hololive make they should be doing more to protect their talent.

>>8217
It sucks. She was probably my favorite and now she has her hands tied in combination with whatever personal issues she is having.

>>8267
vtubers saying swear words is not controversial

>>8270
saying the N word is controversial
doing un-idol shit in general is controversial since the holos are marketed as idols

>>8282
wtf is the idol industry?

We have to remember these are human beings behind this whole thing. This idol culture crap is insane and it is preferable if it was done by the full ownership of the person “selling” themselves, because this corporate shit is insane.

What is so hilarious though is that these losers got what was coming to them, not the idols, but the fans who were simping a corporation and got fucked in the when this corporation does corporate shit. It only reveals the “fandom” for the bankruptcy that they are. Man how I would love to kick one of those losers until they are convulsing on the ground. It would get off on beating those corporate bootlickers. What is funny is that they dehumanize the idols more than the corporations do by going to war about some country and shit, it’s hilariously insane.

>>8270
They got into a lot of controversy because of China related stuff and a couple other things.

>>8284
I love idol shit, but I've never understood the people that are fans of the corporation too. Like, you can be an idol fan without simping their boss.

Unrelated to Hololive, but some in /vt/ are having a meltdown because a fairly well-known indy watched left-related shit during an Q&A, is pro Palestine, spoke positively of Marx and Lenin and talked about how the CIA ruined South America.

What an awful straw man of gamergate.

tbh a lot of them are interesting people with interesting quirks and stories besides just funny cute noise. it’s just clippers that are cancerous clipping “cute” moments who definitely fetishize them. although, most gaming streams are extremely boring since they’re basically just reading off dialogue and occasionally interacting with a backseat if armchair chat. collabs and talking streams are the best although you are often reminded of the artificial barriers being kept to maintain privacy, but I’m noticing that’s true even in in real life.

>>10790
For Context :
Nina Kosaka of Nijisanji EN. There's speculation that she was formally a twitch streamer called Monkeyism due to the similar voice.

* Nina: https://youtu.be/aMOXkLfVU8k
* Monkeyism: https://youtu.be/sULAImu93Hw

Monkeyism was known for being left-leaning and open about her opinions including politics. This has angered some folks on 4chinlet's vtuber board /vt/ since they think that Nijisanji a major vtuber agency has let in a leftist who will push her leftist ideas on their English branch of vtubers.

You can see them seething about it here: https://warosu.org/vt/thread/S11237486


>>10791

some ballsy shit tbh. hope she makes it even if she’s fully integrated into corporate world

>>10794
>>leftists in weeb circles
whoops, I double-greened

>>10793
I don't watch Twitch, so I don't have a deep understanding about Monkeyism or her views. I first heard about her from /vt/ and they seem to say that she's a 31 year old Ukrainian woman who lives in Canada. This stream of her confirms some of that and indicate that her parents grew up in the Soviet Union: https://youtu.be/7k_nhO1qHkI?t=764 . She seems to focus on idpol a lot in the stream, such as in a later part when she talks about "brands" not speaking out about BLM enough: https://youtu.be/7k_nhO1qHkI?t=1337 .

As for Nina Kosaka, in her debut stream she quotes the Soviet-era poet Andrey Dementyev: https://youtu.be/5FtzYaRfXQc?t=1509 . When I watch Nina's stream, I get the impression of a hint of irony in her voice like she's treating this as a sort of parody of vtubers and corporate branding or something, but maybe that's just me.

This is just from an hour of research so I don't really know. There might be some streams of Monkeyism out there that paint a clearer picture of what her views and background are. If she is leftist, she's most likely never going to outright say it under her current identity because that might get her fired or "graduated" as it's called with vtubers.

yeah sure buddy,but his answer is christ,and NOTHING else,he hasn't said bourgeois a single time,and he praise "anti-cap" China and Russia (lol) only because they deal with his pet peeve,this isn't a prolekult video.
Also I'm not talking about porn (because it's a terrible industry and I'm not defending that),I'm talking about him being butthurt about promiscuity in general and the sexual revolution,the guy litterally gets mad at women for being "forced" to be "career oriented" or because one talks about her period (which yeah it's crass,but it's a major part of a woman life,as somebody who lived with his mom and two sisters,I'm not really disgusted by it anymore,maybe you could make the argument it shouldn't be exposed to the public ?).
>propagating a false image
The one he picked litterally tells he's a "he" right in the bio (I think it's still bad tho),and he segue on a rant about transexuals being degenerate right after to satisfy his inner spooks.
He's saying a lot of truth,but he's retarded and nobody will really want to bother with what he says if he ends up derailling his points with christian propaganda every two minutes.

>Muh China and Russkies
Ok liberal, back to reddit. And yes, they are right to ban this shit.
>I'm talking about him being butthurt about promiscuity in general and the sexual revolution
1) Sexual promiscuity isn't good that isn't the point of communist movements in regards to sexuality
2) He specifically points out the fact that the "sexual revolution" became nothing more than a capitalist co-op to promote their vulgar ideology.
>litterally gets mad at women for being "forced" to be "career oriented"
He literally got mad because it's correct, it's not revolutionary to have "More *clap* Female *clap* CEOs *clap* and the system forcing women to labour 9-5 jobs just like men to barely scrap by and support their family, leading to alienation in families.
>because one talks about her period
It's crass and private, it's barely different to taking a shit or a piss, I don't care to let others see that or se others doing it. It's not about "muh vymin" but about them not having any self-respect, that's exactly the problem of capitalism - making people have no self-respect for themselves and encouraging them to be figurative (and literal) whores. I'd hardly call that empowering.
>The one he picked litterally tells he's a "he" right in the bio
it's 'literally' and the point is that they point out that as an example of people getting either baited by fake voices OR being so lacking for connections and friendship that they don't care if the visage they see is a lie, it's convenient that you keep on about him talking about "muh trans" despite that being a couple seconds at best and only part of his point that also includes middle aged women and fat hairy men ERPing.
>segue on a rant about transexuals being degenerate right after
Stop making shit up.
> nobody will really want to bother with what he says if he ends up derailling his points with christian propaganda every two minutes

You're twisting my words knave; Being open and uncensored about it is vulgar like a hooker. Saying "It's my period" is not the same thing as
A) not bothering to be private about the act itself
B) being 'proud' of it for some damned reason.
Capitalism encourages people to be libertines because if you have no sense of privacy or self-respect, you are the perfect consumer, ready to eat any of the shit they feed you and shit it out to others. And yes I'm being crass because that is just how utterly dehumanizing it truly is.

Go back to /siberia/ spammer.


I've been watching some v-tuber stuff lately, and it looks like they have similar dynamics to other game-playing-talking-heads like Asmongold. In both genres you have the main streamer generating many hours of streaming content. Then you have a bunch of orbiter streamers of various tiers that generate content based off of that original content (reaction videos), or collaboration content, and then whole ecosystems of secondary content distribution like fanlation channels, "best of" channels, commentary, etc.

I'd like to take a closer look at what sort of broadcast schedule vtubers actually have, because the impression I get is that these channels are basically content sweatshops. The content is just being mechanically spun out in 4-5 hour streams where the streamer just babbles endlessly to an endlessly babbling chat stream. Aside from their solo streams, there are collabs, "raids", and then however much time is spent outside of their streams with their idol managers coordinating all of the "character" interactions.

Have any v-tubers actually gone on record as to the exact parameters of their job? However many hours a week of content they're obligated to produce, that kind of thing? I have to wonder what sort of industry protections these girls get. For the American vtubers like Nyanners, I guess that would be the Screen Actors Guild? Although I bet there's some bullshit where mo-capping and voicing a CG anime girl doesn't make you a "voice actress" because a corporation didn't pay you to do it.

Amane Kanata explained more or less what goes into a day of work of a Hololive member. Though this obviously doesn't apply to all streamers or all vtubers, it shows what it's like to be one of the very successful ones.

>>12314
das rite

>>12315
Sadly there seems to be no such thing as labor agitation in Japan, so for the major ones (Hololive and Nijisanji) it's a no-go; still, they seem to be in a particularly curious relationship with the company, since though the character is owned by the company (and thus can be used for advertising, etc., without the consent of the streamer) only the streamer can "produce" value in the form of digital content, and if they chose not to work there wouldn't be much the company could do (after all, the character is worth very little without the person behind it — as was made clear with Kizuna Ai).
So in theory labor has a lot of power in such a relationship, but there is no way real-life political and economic issues will ever be discussed in this medium, given the particularly shitty escapist ideology most weebs share.

>>4009
Man, I used to watch the shit out of this, good times. Big part of my being radicalized.

>>12350
Now that I think about it, I imagine labor organizing in Hololive would probably be especially rough since the company really promotes itself as being a "family" of sorts.

>>12339
I've seen IWW ads for fur suit and fur artist unionization so I don't believe independence is necessarily an impediment to unionization.

>>12354
Corps in the US lean really hard on that "we're a family" type of anti-union crap and that's very quickly going down the shit tubes in the light of "oh by 'family' you mean you want us to die for minimum wage."

Imo labor organizing in hololive is theoretically easy considering that the streamers themselves are relied on to produce all the content, and without them the company is fucked.

I'd be really curious to learn what sort of health or retirement plan, or really what sort of actual job security vtubers have contractually. The hours they put in seem pretty crazy so I hope they're getting paid at least. I know I'd want some sort of employment guarantees so I don't get Coco'd.

>>12357
it’s weirder when you consider, on purpose from the staff of the company we’ll never know, that the girls give the impression they know the CEO personally and that they have permission to call him a creep and call him ugly. I think Nijisanji does this too. Theoretically, this venting toward the company can be used as a tool to placate the workers in which they expel frustrations in a manner that is safe, as their consumers have accepted these particular interactions as content; and is reinforced as an artificial boundary through these clipped interactions of the streamers shitting on their bosses. Artificial boundary being created by both clippers and the streamers themselves as it is an inside and oft repeated joke, that makes it clear what is banter and what is actual criticism. Although, call me an empath(lol), I think the streamers are actually disgusted by their bosses and it’s just happened to be interpreted as banter by the clippers.

>>12363
and then later turned into a commodity by the streamers themselves, especially over time.

I don't think i will ever like vtubers
They are the most obvious manufactured and corporate thing in existence
Every time you have a dissenting opinion, or just poke fun at them people will always come to their rescue
I also hate how they're all samey as fuck
Like you can literally be anything you want since it's an avatar, but for some reason they always choose a pale skinned anime girl
It's also very fucked up how it's okay for them to make millions of dollars in earnings, but it's bad for twitch streamers to do that

>>12392
I'd tell you to learn Japanese and find all the cool niche vtubers streaming on niconico outside of the influence of corporate interests like Holoshit does but I have a feeling you won't bother doing that.

>>12392
>I also hate how they're all samey as fuck
>Like you can literally be anything you want since it's an avatar, but for some reason they always choose a pale skinned anime girl
And their designs are almost always 100% shit. They're not always pale but even if a Vtuber avatar has dark skin their design is utter shit too.

>>12363
>>12392
i've come to think of it more like a digital version of kayfabe (as in wrestling) than merely a corporate thing which is completely fake. Granted, it would be naive to think that what the streamers (or the company) display is a "reality" not dictated by the profit motive; but there seems to be a certain degree of "honesty" (if one can call it that much) in the fact that the streamers are very openly playing a persona which is entirely other than themselves.

Of course, as this >>12394 anon said the corporative side is not as extreme (though youtube and twitch are inevitably involved) as in hololive or nijisanji, for obvious reasons.

>>12395
this is true, most designs are utter crap, but every now and then they seem to fit the person quite impressively (though this may be just theatrics)

>>12357

take this clip by botan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baJ8iPEjOLI in which her doctor thinks she works at a black company (japanese slang for horrid working conditions, for those unaware) given her lifestyle, and she cannot even bring herself to deny it; or this clip by iroha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnyWoBqxw0Q in which her doctor says her living conditions are literally inhuman (though this may be more because of the extremely poor proletarian conditions under which she seems to been living for a long time); in these moments (and many other instances, ad nauseam) the reality of the nightmare which is big corporate vtubing is quite clear; though class consciousness is not at all something which happens automatically, we may begin to see more explicitly anti-corporate stances by the streamers. id be remiss in not mentioning
marine, who has literally instructed the other members as to how to use their unions (if applicable) and how to get the big bucks from government unemployment subsidies, in case they need to quit a shitty job) which she learned from her previous, just as nightmarish jobs.

>>12392
ironically, i believe vtubers are probably the most radical commodity i have seen that can ever be produced in capitalism despite their manufactured image. Mainly because the human experience of working is the commodity itself. you see all this radical shit sort of produced in hollywood and other media, but the alienation and exploitation of the streamer worker's entire life IS THE PRODUCT. And try as they might, they cant really hide it.

the lack of boundaries as a coveted consumable is also worrying for socialization.

not defending their income, as they definitely make a lot more than twitch streamers and others, but vtuber companies make bank as they take majority of the streamer's profits. With their share, the vtubers still make lots more money, but it technically is still an exploitative relationship.

In that dude's mild defense, Connor did call Hololive members "talentless." Mori then claimed that he had personally apologized, only for that to be outed as bullshit by Kiara who said she had no contact with those guys. Kiara did come out and say she'll be doing male colabs and most of her fanbase has no problem with it. People in Mori's community just hate Connor individually, not all males.

how about the males from nijisanji EN

>>12541
Never seen them, but I do like some male streamers. The problem is that they aren't all that entertaining. There is that one beyblade ASMR clip going around, though.


>>12541

>>12541
Don't watch them, but I find it interesting how they seem to have brought in a decently large audience of people that didn't really watch chuubas before.

>>12538
Connor seems like a dude who would say sarcastic shit like that. Anyone who took personal offense because of that joke definitely hasn't touched grass. Now of course if someone is actually brigading vtubers to just negatively affect them is someone that needs to be shot because that's just straight up harassment, but I don't think Connor was brigading any one.

>>12549
No, he meant it in the sense that Hololive is a machine for instant success. You have 300k subs guaranteed and a steady stream of superchats. This was offensive to some Holosimps, and that's why they want to keep Mori away from the TT crowd. I don't agree, but I understand. Mori's mistake was saying that he had "personally apologized" to each member of HoloEN for what he said. This is not true, and Connor is not the type to just apologize for that shit. It was an offhand comment, and it's also true. Also, some people highly suspect that fucking a vtuber is in Connor's bucket list, but don't realize that Garnt already did that.

imageboards were filled with people who (rightfully) mocked e-celebs and "simps" and most of them went 180 degrees on the matter once vtubers came out, hilariously enough

that being said fuck hololive and the rest, vtubers were an organic phenomenon and porky got its hands on it almost immediately. if you want good genuine stuff watch indie vtubers

lmao. rushia terminated just like that. allegedly not related to “incident”. no fucking protections. holy shit.

>>13485
you kidding right ?.

>>13485
Explain about this incident you speak of

>>13575
her fans were mad that she actually has a bf and the gf experience she was giving was fake. the way they found out was bc a fbi.gov message from another popular streamer popped up during stream w some affectionate words. funnily enough, this all happened on Valentine’s Day when she was releasing some wedding dress rushia merchandise. that is the incident. contract termination was bc of NDA contract breach. she did fuck up by choosing to tell a Japanese equivalent of a keen star. But apparently they were friends before. Clips translated are only a partial segment of the entire Japanese keemstar stream, but it appears to be a just a vague ass sentence that warranted contract breach investigation, although that sentence did prompt an investigation by the company into their chat logs(allegedly). Where they allegedly found more evidence of sharing of information that “damaged” company reputation.

Logically it makes “sense” what the company did. Morally it’s fucked up. When your private life becomes company secrets and also it’s own commodity, not the first time, but it’s just sad. I don’t know the extant of the investigation, but assuming she didn’t use her corporate account to talk shit, it just sets a precedent you won’t ever be able to talk shit about the company due to NDA violation. Even if she did use her corporate account to talk shit, it’s just a reminder that they’re not a “family” and they’re all either coworkers, competition, but always underneath the management hierarchy. Again, it makes “sense” and they could always do that but the power has been exercised and the chain has been yanked back. The alias behind Marine worked for some black companies in the past, and appropriately she was the one who (I heard) was grieving.

Lots of HOLO corporate stans love to say the Fubuki quote along the lines of if “Hololive was a black company I’d leave it”, but honestly isn’t that the perfect alibi?

>>13577
They were mad because the fake girlfriend experience with the fake character turned out to be… fake?

>>13578
yes and her bf also does the same thing for a female equivalent audience, so they were both harassed by each other’s audiences. cue break from Rushia and then all this shit.

>>13578
They were bad that they cucked themselves to the tune of 3 million wing wangs and their fake girlfriend broke the masquerade

>>13577
the fubuki stuff is bullshit, the only one that legitimately seems to care about workers is marine

>>13578
it's spectacularly stupid but you gotta understand rushia's merchandise for valentines' day was literally engagement rings, so it's kinda on a whole nother level

>>13578
I'm not much of a hololive watcher but i'm mad because i liked her, fucking idol culture man.

Corporatization of vtubers is such a bizarre phenomenon. Shit like this should be done for fun without any corporate influence. Instead you have people treating vtubing as another wageslave job to provide fake gf experience and porkies exploiting lonely people. I hate this world.

Okay, I kinda fell out of the loop with this vtuber hype train and recently decided to find out what the noise is all about.
I want to make it clear first that I don't have a stick up my arse when it comes to the new forms of escapism, or at least I think so. But this vtuber trend is honestly a next step for the simp industry. And I mean the simp industry as in real industry, just like car industry and steel industry. Only this industry is built on monetizing male alienation. Because this is now a full fledged industry with its own corporations it has massive consequences because these corporations are now interested in increasing male alienation to keep donations stream growing, and more so because that now have the means to lobby and bribe and influence policy. We can also see an influx of new capital into this industry and increasing competition and as a result a downward pressure on the rate of profit, which would make all these corporations even more aggressive in their policies to expand the market by increasing amount of alienated simps.
Man, does the future looks fucking bleak..

>>16679
yeah it sucks that vtubers got coopted by corporations trying to turn them into idols, its been said since day 1

>>16680
you're saying this as if vtubers weren't aimed at simps form the beginning with these animegrill larping antics

>>16679
the one positive is that it shreks IRL roasties so that mid girls can drain money from simps.

>>16682
I'm waiting for a voice changing software to advance enough so that I can get in on the simp fleecing too.

>>16679
I'm mostly interested in how the industry will mutate or die in the with the wars, recessions, etc of the 2020s/30s, considering it's so directly tied to the extra income of lonely professionals/wagies, with the exception of sponsorships from various sponsorships

I find vtubers enjoyable

>>16679
>>16684
I find it hard to believe the companies will survive in their current form for much longer; just Rushia being fired already rocked the boat quite a bit, and given that eventually we're gonna see vtubers dying, getting tired and quitting, etc., it seems like a given that the current structure of vtubing (or at least strictly japanese vtubing) is unsustainable. I can't see the market growing that much more anyway; english-speaking vtubers might still have quite a ways to go, but for languages with smaller demographics there is only so many people interested in watching vtubers (and its hard to believe many people will learn a language just to understand what a streamer is speaking). Also, after a certain point (which I believe we have reached already to a certain degree) any new vtuber that debuts just cannibalizes on the audience of established talent. Streaming is a very time-consuming hobby to watch, and there are only so many hours on the day. Hololive already struggles quite a bit with people streaming on the same timeslot, afaik (and Nijisanji just doesn't give a fuck and has a billion vtubers associated with them). Maybe advertising money can prop things up for a while, but stricly speaking money coming from simps is a very limited revenue source.

That being said, random people using the software to stream without having to show their faces or for roleplaying a character is probably going to stay for good. It's relatively easy to setup, cheap, and safer than alternatives, if you can avoid getting doxxed.

>>16708
I genuinely have no idea how you think that vtubing will die. The prospect of being a whatever the fuck and streaming whatever the fuck and not having to use your real face is honestly so enticing that I'd be shocked if vtubing dies.

>>16709
Obviously I meant corporate (japanese) vtubing, which is an industry and thus subject to all the problems capitalism is known for and as such is by no means guaranteed to survive (at least in its current form); randos using avatars to stream will pretty much never die, as I said:
>That being said, random people using the software to stream without having to show their faces or for roleplaying a character is probably going to stay for good. It's relatively easy to setup, cheap, and safer than alternatives, if you can avoid getting doxxed.

>>16708
well who knows maybe vtubing as a industry will die and it will become a form of living on the internet
Larping as an anime girl is an old art

That the company isn't protecting them is a pretty serious issue though.

>>16679
This is absolutely true, and in some cases backed by major, even state level, backing.

>>3392
Are you really saying you don't understand the situation you just described? Every company is beholden to the CCP, bilibili is no exception. When they pull a stream for saying something off script the cause is always obvious, in this case it's something that contradicts the CCP's official messaging. This is an action that really does have real world consequences.

>>16826
Live Action Role Playing (larping) is something you do outside in cosplay. Vtubers can't holographically project the Live2D / pngtuber onto themselves out and about, nor are they in character while at the store or whatever.

Then why aren't the people voicing anti lockdown positions getting excoriated

I think that Gawr Gura was the reason V-tube really took off. Combined with the 'lockdown' shit going on at the time and people had nothing better to do than overlay cute anime girls as avatars and make motion tracker livestreams of them doing random shit like vidya lets plays - if people are stupid enough to waste hours of life giving them views, might as well make money off of it. Additionally I think Gawr Gura particularly got popular because the character is a loli, and that attracted the Rule 34 hentai crowd who have made thousands of lewds. The Shark getup also provided an angle of cuteness.

TL;DR: I blame Gawr Gura for this

>>21081
Gura litterally abused the system by having all of her previous followers jump the shark (lol) with her to her new persona.

>>21082
If the systems' a broken rigged game, best thing to do is tilt it in your favor I guess. Still hate V-tube shit, but you gotta respect the hustle at the least, and it's not false advertising technically… still a trap tho.

This is such a funny way of putting it. Like masturbating to porn is some obscure niche only a handful of people do.

>>21124
I mean masturbating to anime lolis is, while not all exactly super rare, is also not really common either. I would estimate that idk, less than 10% of men do this.

>>21125
That's a lot of people.

>>21124
Rule 34 is a large audience… but out of the population is a tiny portion of people, even if we exclude those that have no internet or computers.

How are the two related? As an anarchist, I say this is a complete bullshit. People can have whatever stupid political opinions regardless of their skills, Ayn Rand being a terrible writer is a pure coincidence.

Given the recent revelations concerning Nijisanji, has anybody ever discussed organizing VTubers? From what I've seen, a lot of them are quite exploited and only see a small fraction of the money that is donated to them. They work in quite stressful conditions, notably Dokibird being hospitalized after almost committing suicide due to abuse at Nijisanji where she then worked.

>>23954
About to mucho texto, may as well use my 4 years of watching them to give some info.
I think vtubers from the big companies (and even small to medium ones) are basically classed as individual contractors (there have been several vtubers from the big companies that have been quickly terminated for breaking NDA or another element of their contract), and more of their earnings come from sponsorships/merch rather than the donations. Some companies might provide a small "salary" along with these. I imagine that vtuber unions might have a chance of forming when the next recession comes and there's a a) less income making it to the vtubers directly and b)less capital to go around into the companies. The closest thing to "organized" vtubers currently is basically vtubers coming together and forming or joining a small case. Vshojo has 2 vtubers that were formerly from the 2 big japanese companies, 1 from the at least less outwardly retarded blue triangle, the other from the now infamous Niji.

>inb4 strawman nobody said
>being a proletarian is when no parasocial relationships
Just admit you are a conservative already instead of pretending to understand Marxist theory, at least you'd be more intellectually honest. Psychologists, marketologists and pop idols were used by the bourgeoisie to manipulate consumers long before all that vtuber thing ever gained traction, being a prole isn't some virtuous and morally pure position, a lot of proles are quite honestly assholes and reactionaries, and I'm tired of pretending they're not. Nobody said that the proles don't put each other down or will never get their hands dirty, especially in an economy where every prole is considered a potential competitor.

>>24890
It's not the fans, but the artists.

>>23786
Okay, I did some research on her. *inhales* This is complicated.

I see why you'd think she's a Nazi, though she appears more like an irony-poisoned Alex Jones-lite who browses 4chan too much and uses the word "groomer" a lot. I don't know for certain if she's alt-right but she clearly appeals to the alt-lite tinfoil hat-wearing crowd. She appears to not condone racism and she says she wants to move away from her edgelord image and become a "proper idol" like Pekora but also she had said some very edgy jokes in the past, like referencing the Happy Merchant meme or joking that she wants to shoot up Walmart. It obviously attracts /pol/tards to her so whether she's dogwhistling to her audience or genuinely doesn't like that it's all the consequences of her actions regardless.

I honestly don't know what to make of her. Firstly I must admit that I'm biased since Pippa is Tenma's friend/co-worker and I genuinely like Tenma (though even Tenma calls Pippa out sometimes). Secondly, I still have the mindset of "innocent until proven guilty" and just don't see enough evidence for her being alt-right, not to mention that by simply saying a politically incorrect opinion you may attract an alt-right audience because of the political polarization on the Internet. This happened to The Living Philosophy too though he was able to take responsibility for his actions and remove the video that was attracting the alt-right audience which I respect. But in all honesty, form your own opinion on it, I don't want to make excuses for Pippa because she's a "bad influence on my oshi" or whatever, if she's really alt-right, she's alt-right and I'm alt-wrong. Constant irony has ruined the Internet so much that I don't know who's friend or foe anymore. I'm so tired, I just wish to hide in a corner and never interact with people online ever again.

P.S.: If I'm wrong then plz provide more evidence, I'm a complete normie when it comes to VTubers so I may not know everything about Pippa and what she's done, I do not monitor her streams and tweets 24/7. I condone neither the alt-right nor right-wing conspiracy theories and strongly believe in anarchism and support anarcho-communists in their struggle for self-liberation. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

>>24932
What's up with the artists? I don't listen to black metal except meloblack, ambient black and DSBM, I'm more of a thrasher/core kid kind of guy. I also rarely read lyrics or comprehend what they're singing.

>>24934
I guess it's mostly because some of the early big names were pretty open about their fascist sympathies and it attracted the wrong crowd. Just the other day I was listening to some DSBM that I randomly downloaded years ago and looked up the band to see if they have new releases and stuff and after some clicking around in the encyclopedia I found out that the vocalist did guest work on an explicitly NSBM band.

>>24936
This is so weird to hear. Are Venom Nazis too? I liked that band. They're blackened thrash through so that may be a reason.

>>24933
>she wants to move away from her edgelord image and become a "proper idol" like Pekora but also she had said some very edgy jokes in the past, like referencing the Happy Merchant meme or joking that she wants to shoot up Walmart.
I doubt she'll ever be able to do that. Her edgy don't give a fuck attitude is the reason people find her appealing and its entertaining as long as she doesn't overdo it in a lame nu-4chan way. As for the shooting up Walmart, its a bit sad people can't say outrageous things in jest online anymore. She has attracted an audience of braindead 4channers and regardless that will influence how everyone else sees her and probably attract right wing edgelords to her even if she isn't one. I hope she isn't a racist at least but if she isn't she'll probably end up one.

>>24939
Thank you for your reasonable response, anon.
>As for the shooting up Walmart, its a bit sad people can't say outrageous things in jest online anymore.
I understand. That's why I didn't assume she's a Nazi because of this clip, but it did come out forced. Maybe Pippa is a worse comedian than Tenma, although her roasting Agent Kochinski gave me a small chuckle, I admit.
>I hope she isn't a racist at least
Same but that's because I care about Tenma. If Tenma disassociated herself from Pippa and Kirsche I wouldn't even care honestly. I also like Lumi and Lia who are also under the crossfire. It's a shame really, Phase Connect has so many talents who seem like genuinely fun people, and them all getting the Nazi rep because of Pippa's shenanigans is just sad.
>if she isn't she'll probably end up one
I don't think that's how psychology works. But it will be a situation similar to radlibs' safe spaces: she'll say something that goes out of line with her audience's expectations ("Trans rights," "It's okay to be gay," etc.) and then her audience will turn against her and she'll either be forced to issue an apology or get a devastating loss of subscribers. Subscriber loss = profit loss so her boss will have a lot of questions to her in the second scenario. But her issuing an apology will ruin her reputation even further. There's a reason TLP deleted his video on postmodernists, this kind of relationship the audience has with the content creator is parasitic, which is a result of the competitive economy YouTube and Twitch base themselves on. The bigger audience you have, the more you're forced to please it to not lose it.

>>24941 (me)
Okay, I've watched the Walmart clip. It was an "in Minecraft" joke. It's obviously more shocking if you cut out the last part. Not her most awkward joke though, her Happy Merchant reference was more awkward and she looked nervous after saying it. She says something needlessly edgy and then gets nervous about it, that's my impression of her.

>>24941
I don't understand why Pippa was so open about being a 4channer. It kinda kills the whole point of anonymity. Why would you want anyone to know what boards you browse anyway? Plus 4chan today is lame as fuck and kinda embarrassing. And these days guilt by association is law and just being a channer is about as bad as being a Nazi in most people's eyes. They have the internet historian/Reddit idea of what a channer is, we're all /b/ and /pol/ and Nazis. She's genuinely entertaining to watch when she isn't forcing this edgy persona and her aggression and attitude make her refreshing but going down the 4chan rabbit hole isn't a good idea. The struggle for Pippa will be preserving her rebellious don't give a fuck attitude without getting associated with the zombies nu-4chan tends to attract or those people being her only audience so she's stuck with them and has to appease them.

What I mean is that, someone says something which offends X group, there's a woke backlash, said person ends up hanging out with alt rightoids because they are the only one who'll comfort and accept them and then they end up converting. I've seen shit like this play out all the time. Its probably what will happen to Pippa eventually. Just look at how badly Bernie Sanders was attacked for his all lives matter comment. Like the Twitter mob didn't think some 80 year old wouldn't understand their stupid online culture and in-jokes and went out of their way to attack him. I hate saying it, but Dave Chappelle is a good example of how accidentally upsetting a group can lead that person to becoming genuinely hostile to that group. I mean, he went from rehashing old transhumanist jokes from the 20 years ago thinking nothing had changed, then he tried to reconcile with the transgenders in an honest but completely foolish manner which made the woke mob hate him even more and now he's turned mildly anti-trans at best. I can see something like that happening to Pippa.

i can see that happening, but at the same time there must be pressure from management to keep the audience growing and if she ever gets to be too much trouble they'll just retire her, so her biggest incentive right now is probably to keep the pandering "ironic". not an enviable position to be in but she did it to herself although if i ever had to talk to a screen as a full time job i'd probably say a lot of stupid shit too, all it takes is one or two clips of unfiltered yapping to get a bad reputation

>>24957 (me)
that said i've never heard of her or watched her streams so this is all a completely abstract discussion to me, i dunno why i'm even commenting on it

No. She's made explicitly racist comments and jokes before. She is a racist.
https://old.reddit.com/r/ForwardsFromKlandma/comments/xuwjyw/pipkin_pippa_is_a_neonazi_and_heres_why/

If she would like to wash her image of racism, either because she cynically doesn't want to repel potential viewers and revenue or because she genuinely isn't a racist anymore (doesn't really matter which), she cannot ignore that she has been publicly bigoted in the past. To do so is to sit on a time bomb. She has to address it.

>What I mean is that, someone says something which offends X group, there's a woke backlash, said person ends up hanging out with alt rightoids because they are the only one who'll comfort and accept them and then they end up converting.

No, what you are trying to imply makes no sense. To take offense and be repelled by bigotry is completely natural, especially for those towards whom the bigotry is directed. I feel kinda ridiculous writing out something so obvious. Furthermore the alienated crowd will not reconcile and embrace the bigot (without them first reforming) because it'd make no sense for them to bottle their frustrations for the sake of this one person. Their frustrations being that an influential person grants legitimacy to exclusionary attitudes by casually, callously, and ignorantly commenting/joking about them. Act which could have real material effects in their lives (there many examples of white nationalist and anti lgbt terrorists who have committed massacres and who have admitted to have admitted or been found to have been influenced/emboldened by such rhetoric).

That's because they don't know about Moot selling the site to a nettouyo. They either have fond memories of 2006's 4chan or look at it in its current state. This site is actually populated by 4channers disgruntled by the /bol/ rot so we are the only ones who know about this really.
>her aggression and attitude make her refreshing
Discount Tenma.
>said person ends up hanging out with alt rightoids because they are the only one who'll comfort and accept them
In reality the alt-right can be just as whiny and obnoxious as the woke snowflakes they criticise so I wouldn't call the experience "comforting," Pippa is just changing one mob for another. It's a common misconception that you have to "pick a side" to be successful, this is the reason why right-libertarians have delusions of conservatives being libertarian. In reality this is not the case: look at Zizek or Chapo or any other dirtbag leftist who became popular. Even centrists like Destiny oppose both sides of the culture war. Still popular. But I don't blame people for thinking otherwise, I know how polarized the political discourse is on the Internet nowadays.

Already discussed before though I haven't seen any mention of the other controversies. I'll have to look into them.
>To take offense and be repelled by bigotry is completely natural, especially for those towards whom the bigotry is directed.
I don't think they meant bigotry in this context. It's usually white cishet males like Agent Kochinski who "defend" such groups from "bigotry" without asking whether they're offended or not, ironically invalidating their feelings and agency. The anon has mentioned the Bernie Sanders example to illustrate what they mean. A person saying "All Lives Matter" isn't necessarily racist since the phrase "Black Lives Matter" doesn't necessarily imply that white lives also matter. Which is ironically precisely the same occusation of dogwhistling to racial supremacists as those leveled against those who use the phrase "All Lives Matter." We live in a time where both sides of the culture war think that whatever the other side says is a dogwhistle, this is so incredibly stupid, people cannot have a normal conversation with each other any longer.

It's fine anon, you've still made some good points.

>They have the internet historian/Reddit idea of what a channer is, we're all /b/ and /pol/ and Nazis.
lmao it hasnt been 2010 for a decade and a half brah, the /pol/ brain rot is everywhere

<inb4 but what about this dead board or the few people that complain about /pol/ and get laughed off each thread

>>24954
Sad to see that Nazis are still pushing the same whiny bullshit excuses and you keep falling for it
> waah I only wanted to play video games but you forced me to become a Nazi because of woke, I'm totally the victim in this situation!!
Why do you fags keep falling for this shit?

>>24961
I don't put stock in soundbites, clips, and guilt by association. Who hasn't made a George Floyd joke? Or a joke about the Jews? We do it here all the damn time. There is a difference between edgy racial humor and genuine ideological racism. These days its hard to tell but that's the modern internet for you. Pippa is a yank and therefore probably a racist. I do find it funny when yanks accuse each other of racism. I mean race is everywhere now. We're all more or less saturated in this colonist idea of race which shapes who we are and our place in the world. The idea that racism is a psychological issue, a bunch of bad ideas some people happen to have, is peak liberalism. What if Pippa isn't a Nazi? The consequences of smearing her as a Nazi could end up pushing a person into thinking "fuck it the chinlets are right fuck these people attacking me." I've seen this happen to people before.

To clarify, I'm not saying Pippa is or isn't a Nazi. Unless she comes out endorsing Nazism then this is all speculative. Is she a racist? Idk but I'll tell you as someone who's non-white you kinda take shit from everyone more or less and its not always intentional either. Its not the case that some people are the horrible bad racists and everyone is okay. It doesn't work like that and wherever you go you'll get some level of exclusion or mistreatment.

Last thing, one thing that's really disturbing about online discourse is and unwillingness to forgive and the inability of the person who's done wrong to make amends. Let's say a big V tuber brags about how much she hates uyghurs. Okay, what if they realize that was wrong and hurtful and how do they come back into the fold without a fake YouTuber apology? She'll just end up being demonized and attacked and nobody but rightoids will watch her. If there's no way back to the straight path people will just stick with the far right because that's their audience now.

>To take offense and be repelled by bigotry is completely natural, especially for those towards whom the bigotry is directed.

Right but today its very easy to upset people without realizing it. Bernie Sanders didn't know "all lives matter" was rightoid talk and Twitter didn't understand that an 80 year old Jew doesn't get their terminally online culture. But what was disturbing was the way some people took Bernie's comments as a personal attack. Nowadays, almost anything can be construed as an attack. We live in the age of the politics of wounded egos and the oppression Olympics where people like being offended and seek it out for clout. In an age when content is broadcast to the widest possible audience its very easy to upset someone without realizing it. e.g. I often make racially edgy jokes among my black friends and all of them know I'm not a Nazi because we know each other. Similarly, when Dave Chappelle made racially edgy humor decades ago he had a relationship with his audience and they knew he wasn't a racist. In today's world, your not just dealing with your audience but the whole of social media and Twitter and they don't know you and nowadays people are eager to attack.

>That's because they don't know about Moot selling the site to a nettouyo.
Lets face it there were a lot of problems with 4chan before Moot sold it.

>>24970
Yeah but they think all imageboards are like 4chan /b/ or /pol/ swimming with Nazis. You can't advertize your little comfy retro anime board without having to deal with the stereotype of "chan culture" as a bunch of subhuman psychopaths who spend all day throwing around naughty words.

>>24970
Funny how some people excuse 4chan by saying that Reddit isn't much better. Like it's an excuse to use either of these sites. Many new 4channers are even ex-Redditors from r/TheDonald because their subreddit got banned. Also, Reddit is at least a platform for isolated communities which allows subreddits like r/stupidpol and r/redscarepod to exist, whereas the /pol/ mind virus has infected most of 4chan's boards. You're out of luck finding any genuine leftists here.

>waah I only wanted to play video games but you forced me to become a Nazi because of woke, I'm totally the victim in this situation!!
Just because a person has converted to alt-right as a knee-jerk reaction to idpol doesn't mean they're a "victim."

>We do it here all the damn time.
Where? We only make wholesome jokes about Hiroshima and Uyghurs here.
>The consequences of smearing her as a Nazi could end up pushing a person into thinking "fuck it the chinlets are right fuck these people attacking me." I've seen this happen to people before.
Doubt that but this kind of attitude certainly pushes people away.

>Last thing, one thing that's really disturbing about online discourse is and unwillingness to forgive and the inability of the person who's done wrong to make amends.
That's why I'm on the dirtbags' side. I don't like conservatives at all but progressives do have a habit of doing what you just said.
>I often make racially edgy jokes among my black friends and all of them know I'm not a Nazi because we know each other.
I don't think racist humour is all that funny. Hiroshima jokes however…
>Lets face it there were a lot of problems with 4chan before Moot sold it.
Sure but Nishimura has only made it worse, Moot was at least trying to keep /pol/ a containment board (which was a bad idea in the first place but oh, well).

There's a difference between racist jokes and jokes about race and racialism

>There's a difference between racist jokes and jokes about race and racialism
Jokes about race still often involve a lot of negative stereotyping though, they are very hard to pull off. The Boondocks is the only example I can remember where making fun of black people worked well. It's made by a black guy who clearly understands the problems in black communities better than your average Caucasian.
>racialism
Haven't seen this word used by anyone other than Nazi dogwhistlers. "Race realism" is also a common dogwhistle, though there's nothing inherently racist about thinking that races biologically exist, I happen to believe in that (limited only to the phenotypal differences, not the freaking behavior and IQ like racists like to think).

>>24974
Bad publicity gets more ratings than good publicity.
Also, people have always been easily offended.
They used to burn rock n roll records for experimental soundbites.

And lastly, I tire of edgy racist humor as an icebreaker.
I know youre not being offensive but its annoying.

Gonna miss the Ame, I wish her well

>>24974
edgy humor like gore and racism are overused.
I dont agree with the whole "people are too senssitive nowadays".
People used to be thrown in jail or thrown off TV for risque humor.
Rock n roll and gangster rap had their music records burned by indignant conservatives.

Cancel culture is an exaggeration.

What did she get fired for?

>edgy humor like gore and racism are overused.
I like to call it "safe edgy" because it's always just punchdown idpol or stuff that is disturbing but by no means against the rules of the venue.
Like Youtube straight up gives keywords/keyphrases related to rightoid talking points and anything with a detectable human face, wojak or pepe an artificial SEO boost as per agreement with the Heritaige Foundation. It is the new TV and maintaining the illusion of neutrality through careful rightward nudging of the overton window isn't the most profitable option available anymore because everyone will keep using YouTube regardless because they have network effect. Mobile games no one will ever play and thinktanks that have went full-on-and-beyond Qanon have money to piss.

From what we can tell she wasn't fired, she seemed to leave because she got tired of the corporate bureaucracy of Cover. Even so, she now has a weird status in the company where she ""might"" return in specific instances like moichandising, maybe a very specific stream. She and others have hinted that she ""might"" return in a full capacity in a few years. It's a status strange to Hololive that is more akin to what a "graduation" is for real japanese idols than the full on terminations like Mel/Rushia or the complete breaks with Cover like Kiryu Coco. In any case, she's relaunching herself as an indie and will be having her debut stream (which is of course in 3d because ameway) on the 25th.
