These walking stereotypes are such a dime a dozen to me that I am pretty jaded at this point. What really irks me is that this coon can hoop and holler to his fans and they lap it up like clapping seals. African-American herd mentality should have been dispensed with as a survival mechanism generations ago, now it is just holding their community back.

ok lets see how outdated this list is, here we go:

THINGS COVER STAFF SHOULD DO FOR THEIR TALENT
>Help them organize schedules
>Talk to other managers to help organize collabs. Say one stream Holo A says she'd like to collab with Holo B someday but she's too shy to ask. Holo A's manager should at the very least float the idea to Holo B's manager.
>Get permissions for games they want to stream
>Keep track of their physical and mental health. If it looks like they are getting burnt out, give them a break.
>Make sure their connections and equipment are functioning well. Buy or reimburse them on things they need to stream. Lobby to fix problems with models or rigging if there is any.
>Watch their streams when possible and monitor any technical problems or interruptions
>Teach them basic coporate OPSEC, research and scrub their past lives to avoid doxxing
>As much as possible, keep track of Antis. That's not to say every anonymous comment can be followed up on, but if some guy says he knows where a Holo lives and is gonna visit her, maybe take action.
>Teach the newer ones how Hololive works, what will be expected of them, both from the fans and the company. This includes memberships, concerts, collabs, merchandise, pricing, etc.
>Support and protect them from outrage nothingburgers by Antis (this includes easily offended insectoid bugmen)
>Hire competent staff with background in talent management for managers, translators, mods, etc.
>Filter questions for harassment, self-help, and not interesting questions
>Use their prestige and connections to hook their talent up with songwriters, movie makers, artists, who want to make things for them
>Screen all fanmade content that the Holos want to feature
>Help foreign ones with visa so they can stay in Japan
>Give their workers work visas

THINGS COVER STAFF ACTUALLY DOES FOR THEIR TALENT
>Why the fuck would a manager help with scheduling?
>Some managers barely even talk to their Holos let alone other managers
>Just play Overcooked, Dark Deception, and that one fucking "game" with the plug people
>Harass and stalk them
>Source your own equipment, not like it's critical to your job or anything
>Fix your own streaming issues, we're not a tech company or anything
>Hire SEAniggers who will harass and stalk them
>Oh hey one of our talents reported that her manager is harassing and stalking her? Better not do anything about it
>Figure it out yourself lol. Maybe we'll make a keychain for you after two years
>Teach their Holos to apologize for mistakes the company made in an attempt to shift blame
>Kneel and bootlick angry Antis and suspend their talents hoping it will appease them (It won't RIP ALOE)
>Hire incompetent people with no background in talent management as staff, rather they are just SEAnigger fans (*oserbait) and end up being at best fucking "SAY THE THING" creeps, (like the HoloEN manager Marine met) and at worst people who will one day rape and kill the Holo (*yger, Mel's manger)
>Pick the worst and most Gosling questions
>Suisei has literally released one original song since she joined Hololive. She released two while she was indie
>Let tracers through and make your Holo look like a fool for having to hastily retract emotes after announcing them
>Hang them out to dry, not my problem lmao
>Don't give their workers work visas

>>75668462
A retweet is not the same as providing direct engagement. But yeah Mumei offering some type of support given how the account handled her subscribe milestone shows at least Kronii's frustration is not unique to her.

>Be the first in your gen to hit 1 mil subs
>EN account can't even be assed to push out a tweet about it
>When they do, it's literally the most low effort acknowledgement possible 3 days later
>After getting shit on by casual fans and Hoomans, they only put out a proper "Congrats on the 1 mil subs" image post more than a full week after she achieved it

>>75668203
>>75668207
To be fair both Kronii and Mumei got fucked over my the EN account, it took like 3 days for it to congratulate Mumei's 1 million milestone and that was only after the person running it was raked on coals by both hoomens and general fans.

I wonder if some fan will knit the bunny hoodie for it.

>Taken at face value, the song's lyrics extol the virtues of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). However, in the gay culture from which the image and music of the Village People came, the song was implicitly understood as celebrating YMCA's reputation as a popular cruising and hookup spot, particularly for the younger men to whom it was addressed.[15] The initial goal of Village People producers Morali and Belolo was to attract disco's gay audience by featuring popular gay fantasy in their music.[16] Although co-creator Morali was gay and the group was initially intended to target gay men, the group became more popular and more mainstream over time.[17]
yeah

i was at ctw and there were just not that many female there in general so you're not going to find many cosplays. there were a ton more at anime expo though.
for example you would expect a bajillion ame cosplays too but i saw only like one good one (the twins, which everyone should remember if they were actually there. pretty sure they are now ruffians)
the most overrepresented fanbase are usually KFP with their happis but there are no good kiaras.
gura probably has the most cosplay since everyone wearing a shark hoodie counts. 99% of them were male or children tho.

She has a pretty good account of things, so we know its not just about Char being hot. She's like that friend who was always a nerd inside but didn't really dive headfirst because of reasons growing up. It was kinda funny how she went on about how she hates Nina in Stardust Memory. If only we could have more mecha watchalongs her chuuni ass would get hooked.

>>75559742
I think mainly because fantasy has a more romantic appeal, so ladies kinda cement in their mind that sci-fi isn't for them, as its seemingly more grounded and less character oriented. Then you get em with good dramas and it works. I don't remember, did she say she liked Fallout or did she scoff at it?

>>75516886
I think if I were in some scenario where I was having a natural conversation with her I think it would be decently friendly enough. Honestly maybe could even be acquaintances with her, I think our sense of humor and personality are similar enough.
But if I was anywhere in public and heard her voice you'd have to put a gun to my head to make me walk up to her and say "Hey Shiori, I'm a fan". It would scare the shit out of her, I'd look like an obsessed stalker, it would instantly ruin any chance of even a normal conversation and worse case I think Shiori would order a Hoover Max Extract Pressure-Pro, model sixty.
The fact she's always hidden her personal info is a huge sign she doesn't want that whatsoever and I respect her enough not to bother her. If you walked up to someone you followed online who didn't hide their face then I don't think that would be an issue.

I saw that earlier. That big blogpost guy almost understands but then he can't help but fall back to classic beggar tropes. "Neuroplasticity" of hololive fans, dude? Seriously? Gotta include that little snipe for no reason?
Holostars fans engage in something akin to "the soft bigotry of low expectations" with these fixations. Oh, our boys would just make it, if only the big mean idolfag male fanbase that doesn't want to watch them could just be more open-minded, but they aren't so they're doomed forever. Completely lets the Holostars off the hook, so to speak, for finding some way to succeed on their own.

Holostars' 5th anniversary and their popularity (based on Astel little discussion) - How can we fans help??
General
I found this reddit post on Astel talking about the state of holostars and that we might not get another anniversary live after a few years, he talked about the issue with their popularity... I will link the post here as well as the original twitter thread https://twitter.com/WhiSha_Sub/status/1783828292426150358

https://www.reddit.com/r/Holostars/comments/1cdm89o/interesting_thread_of_astel_giving_a_lot_of/

What if we form a big group in like discord or some chat where we would mass watch a holojp members livestream?

A little background,

I am new to this reddit and holostars in general, I've been watching them for atleast 2 months now till I realized I am just hooked. I specifically like holoJP. I noticed from clips from 2 - 3 years ago they seemed more popular, had collabs and even english commenters. It seems last year wasn't like that and I could see that there arent much english commenters on their lives (understandable and no one has to feel the need to watch these) but one thing that caught my attention was Astel saying he doesnt speak it anymore because there are no more english comments which makes him sad, I saw temma used to do english learning streams and i saw he did one recently but not as much.. I saw some old clips of aruran having live eng translations even if it wasnt accurate.. I'm not saying lack of translations or lack english viewers are the problem butthe fact that it kinda looks like they thought we english viewers are just gone that they don't speak english much anymore, dont have those live translations anymore and etc..

As fans are there any ways for us to help? Astel in the thread/vod said he is trying to come up with ideas to bring more popularity to holostars... Are there any Fan projects happening? Or should we make them?

this idea came up to me, cuz once a upon a time in my middle shool life (lol) I was a hardcore bts fan, I was in this huge group chat app with a loooot of members who would schedule a mass streaming events, where we would just watch their Music videos till it gets lots of views...

I was thinking what if there are fan projects like that? wwhere we all try to go to their livestreams and NOT FLOOD WITH ENG COMMENTS but to just boost the viewership, maybe some of us comments so they know we are still here...

Is this a bad idea? are there other ideas? or is this not allowed??? I don't mind helping out and managing these as well... as you can see im hyped mostly cuz i like them a lot...

Also i know they need domestic fans, and Im just saying this cuz if their viewership goes up wouldnt that make them be noticed and have more collabs??

( dont hesitate to call me out, cuz at the end of the day im just speaking from what i saw recently from the thread There are many long term fans who knows more than me, im just speaking my mind)

They already have fantastic default outfits so maybe something even more casual, like hoodies or sweaters sweater puppies...

The most gay fanbase
Takodachis
IRyStocrats
Saplings
Teamates
Hoomans
Novelites

The most lesbian fanbase
Deadbeats
KFP
Kronies
Jailbirds

The most "straight" fanbase
Chumbuds
Brrats
Ruffians
Pebbles

Let's have a proper debate.
Which fanbase is gayer?
Hoomans or Heimins?

>>75420609
Chumbuds. Chumbuds have massive cocks and love leaving other fanbases in shambles. Remember the one who took advantage of the hooman.

>>75409514
Yea all of holoen have fans except for flopmei 0 cosplayers 0 fanart 0 mindshare 0 appeal 0 convention appearance 0 hoomans 0 meetups

>What is /lig/?
/lig/ is a thread for viewers to find, share, and discuss indie vtubers who have on average 500 viewers or more.

>Why /lig/?
Large indie vtubers have more net fans, but they are outnumbered by 2views by the thousands. This is a thread for the VIP, regardless of what language they stream on.

>Can I shill my 499view oshi here?
Considering averages fluctuate widely, all the way down to 100 is reasonable. The minimal requirement however is being Twitch partner or the YouTube equivalent in numbers.

>Wait isn't that one a corpo?
A corpo that doesn't own talents IPs and has, at most, a single member with greater than 1000 CCV is still allowed to be discussed here until it has surpassed this threshold.

Nobody really hooked me from Advent. The one I liked was Shiori, but then she took that huge break and I kind of lost interest. Also her voice isn't that nice.
The one I really like from HoloEN is Fauna, when she streams there's little else worth watching.
I also watch indies, like Amiya Aranha and Mint Fantome. From Phase I like Uruka's violin streams, Shiina's singing streams, and Tenma's streams are really comfy. Also whenever Pippa's in a collab that's fun as fuck.
I tried out that PIllowdear girl that anons were shilling and she's pretty nice, although her content isn't that great.
