Today's Pip stream is going to be fantastic with how many hoops she's going to jump through to justify herself while whiteknight simps shovel their entire paycheck up her ass
>yaaass kween u can do no wrong sister umm slayyy!

More like capitalism brainwashing into making you think you just spent money on something not useless while also hooking you up for the rest of your live. "Collectables". What a useful word, it makes you excited for any product, makes you want to buy every new thing for life and turns you into a fanatic.
Where is the fun in buying collectables? Real collections require effort. Coin gathering, marks gathering, insects, butterflies, fishing - whatever. Those require effort and therefore are respectable. Buying Nendroids straight from the store - how is that even comparable? God damn capitalism propaganda.

That I didn't member from day 1. I remember finding out about the debut and watching her content sometimes live and sometimes as a vod, but I really sat down and focused on an entire stream one night a few months after debut and I was hooked that night. I also regret that even after taking so long to member I still took a few more months to start chatting and sending supers. I was so in love with her that I was worried about the "fan/streamer power dynamic" on the very slim chance I ever actually met her. I realized that was stupid and told myself it's better to just interact with her now while I actually have the chance. Fuck I love her so much.

>>76903129
I bought the first because at that time I was buying all merch. I went to fes and saw people wearing it and it did actually look good. In fact the first obvious kaigai fan I saw in Japan was in the immigration line at Haneda and he was some pony-tailed nordic type with a Mio hoodie.
I bought the re-release because I prefer to buy two of anything I'd actually use, as a spare.
My oshi hasn't released her hoodie despite releasing the cap, so I've had to make do with an etsy 3rd party thing that's kinda meh.

If you so-called "hoomans" are really Mumei fans, surely you can answer for me these three simple questions.

1. Why does the Moom moom?
2. What makes Mumei the greatest owlshi?
3. Mimei?

Here's the round-up for today.
Very light news day today, thankfully.

I agree with it. It's something I've been thinking a lot about when I consider the streams I've been watching and how much I've generally been engaging with Hololive content lately.

Maybe it's not something a lot of you would agree with, but I'm just gonna say it outright: I think it's totally fine to have the dancing and singing aspects of Hololive with all the grand events and performances and all that. But I don't want it to completely take over streams to the point that we get barely any streams at all. Or if the girls are burnt out and don't feel like streaming.

To be more blunt and straightforward, I'd even say I don't give a single fuck about the singing and performance practice if it means I don't get a comfy game stream later, or a significantly delayed stream. The streaming part is the highlight of Hololive for me. When streams start becoming more rare in EN, of course people love seeing Advent stream a bunch, because it's nice to have that type of content in a steady flow. I get what he's saying and I totally agree with it.

The girls all have their own goals and I understand that, but I think fans are happiest when they get streams from the girls they like watching. And if they get a sick ass hoodie or mug to buy to represent their oshi.

wait but how does an international fan buy Oga-san's hoodie collab?

>>76666125
Faggot, I've been watching Hololive since Myth debuted and I didn't even know what Nijisanji was until Lazulight came along. I know damn well that you spiteful bitches are a blight on the community, both in and out of Holo.
>inb4 Nijiliar
You want to know where I was when Myth's debut came to my attention? Working a shitty temp job doing back breaking labor in warehouses and horribly depressed because I lost the few friends I had. Myth gave me something to look forward to at the end of my work shift and got me hooked for the long haul. So don't fucking talk to me about who is or isn't a Hololive fan

>>76569335
I want to imagine if vtubing will ever reach the level of hooliganism football fans has
Instead of just shitposting and fighting online, we go down to the streets, burn the cars, and influence local politics

HOOO BOY Edition

>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.

2: https://twitch.tv/filian (5,796)

>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.

Previous Thread: >>76530601

The sad part is you're not even projecting but just talking out of your ass, since you already said earlier that you fantasize about her hooking up with a rich guy who isn't (You). Well enjoy your cuck fantasy I guess.

>>76522556
so you somehow missed all the threads about her meltdown (including this one) full of sayucucks desperately jumping through hoops to delude themselves into thinking she never prostituted herself?
you cucks are honestly one of the most mentally ill fanbases I've seen here, constantly damage controlling with lies and then when evidence is posted you backpedal into "she didn't actually mean that" or "uhh we never said"

>>76505474
probably because it pays better in her mind.
not in reality though, hookers are suprisingly affordable.
But there is also a big chance she means something like only fans when she talks about selling herself, which MIGHT bring in a good amount of money for her.

>>76496538
No, that anon is not playing into you fantasies. Sora said a few streams ago how much she likes hoodies and how they're comfy to wear at home and that she doesn't wear a tshirt under them, just the hoodie. The implication being that, in the comfort of her own mikumerch becluttered room, she forgoes her bra and just wears the hoodie. Especially when it's hot out. I don't think she meant to necessarily suggest this but muh dick took it to heart nevertheless.

As someone who pretty much had hooked on Hyona back then, i remember she told the viewer how she got her R18 tag from Hanmak's suggestion , can't remember which stream but i do remember her story about that, so... could it be Hanmak? since she's pretty much had that fansly phase somewhere else at one point if y'all remember

>>76380039
Kronies are best suited to beating up all the other Promise fanbases.
>Saplings have no arms
>Brats are too small
>Hoomans are malnourished because Mumei hasn't fed them in months
>IRyStocrats have an undiagnosed medical condition from too much soda and their limbs being fucking twigs

>>76360215
I hate people like you. You're essentially asking them to kneecap their fan interaction because people don't want to jump through 300 hoops just to say something nice to their Oshi.

>40:42 I know early lamy is a meme, I know there are yukimins who like that lamy back then
>40:52 it's been 4 years though! people change!
>41:26 You're not the same person you were when you entered college right? for me it's embarrassing to remember how I was, but I know there's fans from since then
I wonder if there's any hooman who is nostalgic for Mumei's debut-week seiso moeblob

>>76352836
honest jewbro review:
>cute
>funny (like actually tells jokes)
>cute and funny
>cutest dork laugh ever, highly contagious
>gay and autistic, just like (You)
>great at reading and bantering with chat
>is hooked up to a blood oxygenation machine so she never has to take a breath while talking
>decent taste so far
>actually seems not bad at games but she's only played stuff she's familiar with so far so who knows
>isn't particularly interested in lewding herself but is fine with you doing it in designated coomer zones
>tummy uoh
>highly unlikely to ever be on the GFE spectrum but still seems very appreciative of fans
>actual idol fan, though it's obvious rin is her oshi
>openly regretful of her retard moments as lopi and wants to distance herself from them and what she felt pigeonholed into (also her dead shorts subs, rin redebut soon), that said she's still zoomer coded and there'll probably be homo/tranny collabs at some point so don't expect high based levels
>despite that still really wants (You) to like her and will even play along with you being a containment breaking retard greentexting in chat about being a pyrophile, at least for now
>FUCK YOU NANO
there, take this information and make your own choice

>I don't know what that guy is sprouting. I'm casual Holostars fan , NTR, TSB and those legendary stars+live collabs got me hooked.

>Twitter post liked and discord fans are probably the better representative of real number and sentiments maybe even more than reddit.

friend of mine said his bedroom died after the first year of marriage. imagine having to basically beg your spouse for some action and you still get denied. I'd rather just get a fancy hooker.
