/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Hypothetically, if the response video was management's idea and not hers, then she should have refused to be in the video and to have it on her channel, and should have explained to management what a horrible idea it was. If they gave her an ultimatum of either be in the video or get terminated, she should have honestly chosen termination, which would have awarded her the same public support that Doki and similar instant success on her transition back to indie.

Hypothetically of course. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

The fact that Hololive did male collabs regularly back when they were a tiny shitty Nijisanji wannabe agency, and that their growth exploded into infinity after most of the members abandoned male collabs, is in fact the best argument for not having male collabs.

I focused on learning to read, understanding by listening kind of came naturally with it. I don't know how you'd do it the other way around. Also I didn't learn for vtubers, I learned for manga and games years ago, plus I was just bumbling around on my own and not following any established method or sequence.

I memorized katakana and hiragana (pretty much already knew it from years of being a weeb) then learned grammar from Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese (it's a website, google it). For kanji I used James Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, literally just found a pdf of the first volume online, never bothered with further volumes. Then I just dove into some text heavy games that I wanted to read through, painstakingly translating them for myself. Whenever I ran into a kanji I didn't know I'd look it up through a method like SKIP code or just stroke count and add it to my notes with Heisig-style reminders so I could reference it next time I ran into it.
I found it most useful to have both text and audio for practice, so games that are fully voiced or anime with Japanese captions were great.
