>No Koopa
>No Beatani
>No Temako
>No FLaVR
>No actual /lig/gers, just Dr Manhattan this is honestly mostly fine, but it's a small thing that adds up with other complaints about the Forced Represenation
>No HFZ
>No NASFAQ
>No Worldbuilding
>None of the vtuber games being built by anons /here/
>No AI
>No "Fuck Susan" or "Susan Hate" even though that's probably one of the oldest board memes in existence
>The only Niji rep is the one that got fired from EN I like Zaion and all and I'm glad she's on the team, but 6 other Niji-related options got voted higher. I understand the "difficult to model" issue, but still.
>Gura Killer and Literally Who are the same concept but it gets to take two slots for some reason
>/vt/ sisters, a direct reference to actual tourists and antis, is somehow considered "board culture", but none of the board projects or chuubas get in
>The "Affirmative Action" slots are used on 2 reps that already have related reps in the top 15 I don't like how TALENT FREEDOM is used by antis and catalogfags, but it is indeed a direct reference to vshojo and is not inherently an anti phrase
>Another AA slot used on a vague concept instead of being used to get more diverse representation in (maybe Tsunderia?), but then replaced with a player that is currently associated with a Holomem
>4 Players are directly associated with ONE (1) vtuber, while entire sections of the board and its culture remain underrepresented.
>Medals were voted on at the same time as the roster, critically splitting that vote.
I'm not going to get into the manager picking favorites, passing over certain options for model difficulties, or anything like that, because sometimes you DO just have to accept that there's a time crunch involved and make dumb decisions. However, there is still a lot of stuff legitimately wrong with this roster, given the logic that the manager has presented us thus far. The Affirmative Action slots should've been used more appropriately, and there should be a higher weight given to stuff that is actively celebrating and promoting vtubers, and stuff that is actually being creative and useful in the catalog. I love Tenma way more than Pippa, but Pippa got in, so Phase clearly doesn't need Forced Representation. I would rather have Pink Cat than Talent Freedom, but Talent Freedom got the votes, so we don't need to use one of the Affirmative Action slots on getting vshojo more representation. If you included Pink Cat because you knew vshojo fans would get mad about Talent Freedom being spammed by antis, then cut Talent Freedom and put Pink Cat in the slot instead. You had options here and intentionally elected to not take them. Be that because they didn't occur to you or because of time crunch is unfortunate, but it doesn't diminish that these are valid criticisms of the roster.
At BARE MINIMUM, the medal poll should be redone as a separate poll. It makes no sense to vote on those at the same time, especially with limited votes.
