/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>2440287
I once had a dream of Korone dying, I don't remember much about it but it felt so real I had to actually check her channel when I woke up

>oshi streams from the deathbed
>taking calls from distraught genmates
>sankyuu for membaship arigato
>unexpectedly dies all of a sudden and the stream is left on while nurses try and revive them

>>2440287
mourn

>>2440287
i'd be like "damn, that sucks" and feel bad for a little bit

>>2440476
This is when you know you need to go outside

>>2440287
Idk im not really fond of ironmouse

>>2440512
>korone is streaming on her deathbed
>you can hear the beeps and miscellaneous noises from the machinery
>She isn't allowed to receive visitors so everyone decides to call in
>first call comes in
>"Oh, it's okayu!"
>korone has a harsh coughing fit as she gets okayu unto the call
>okayu's mic turns on and she's just balling her eyes out
I don't think I could take it

>>2440287
vTuber dies and the company has to play it like an unannounced graduation as to give their family space to grieve
Perhaps this scenario has already occurred?

>>2440287
It’s statistically impossible for one of them not to die young

>oh no I'm die thank you foreba

>>2440287
I'd probably cry, but that's because of the dependent para-social relationship, and how much I got attached to their character.

I don't want to imagine a world where Korone or Okayu have to live without the other.

>oshi streams from the deathbed
>taking calls from distraught genmates
>sankyuu for supacha arigato
>akasupa says MY OSHI IS DYING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

>>2440287
i would cry but not for long then move on with the always memory of what the future could been with her more time around etc

>>2440287
I Kind of worry sometimes about how the most extremes fans would react not gonna lie, sure i would be sad but its not like i would have an absolute breakdown or anything. yet i think a lot of fans of lets say Watame for example would get violent as shit if something like dying happened to the sheep irl

>>2440287
I'd be following her shortly

>>2440287
I’d form a suicide pact with other tentacultists.

Say "that sucks" and move on. There nothing more than entertainment and all entertainment comes to an end. Not gonna grow attached to someone i don't know

>>2440600
>tfw I keep having dreams where my oshi graduates
It's too late for me, isn't it?

>>2442619
one of you le epic 4chin memers would unironically do this

>>2440287
"Literally" then it just mean literally, my oshi would never die

>>2446013
Who's your oshi?

>>2441424
why this made me emotional

>>2440287
I would never smile again.

I would be very sad about that

>>2445816
I would break my no simping rule just for this

>>2442760
Nah you probably would just get some suicides if watame died what would they have to be violent about?

>>2450125
Violent flood of watamelons on all boards

>>2441424
Why you do this

>>2450180
Oh sure, I thought you meant irl violence.

>>2441424
What makes this even worse is that I can easily see this happening

I've always wondered what would happen if one of the holos died. Would there be a memorial stream? What would they do with Mori in such a situation?

It can't be helped.

>>2455510
Anything other than stopping activities for a week would be cringe. I can't imagine a serious memorial with a bunch of anime avatars in character and with their fake voices.

>>2442619
anyone got the link of the original. I was there, but didn't save it sadly

>>2440287

Commit suicide literally as fast as possible to join them. I want as close to the front of the afterlife simp queue as I can manage.

>>2440476
I had a dream like that but with Gura. In the dream she was a real shark girl thing and the government captured her and did experiments on her and she died on an operation table. It was fucked.

>>2440287
This is a genuinely interesting question. It would be in bad taste to continue pretending that they were their vtuber persona, but I doubt they would reveal their real identity either, so what would they do?

>>2455510
a couple of times when real life people died some pinhead donated to rushia asking her to resurrect them
i think her reaction was essentially like "what the fuck man"

>>2450125
I Would consider suicide to be violent as well though, i don't mean stuff like Watamates going on massacres or something just like you say killing themselves or lashing out at people close to them for not caring that much

>>2455510
I think a few Hololive members would be selected by Cover to do a short informative stream on the main channel. They would also likely open up a donation page to help the family's funeral costs and such.

>>2455764
One of them actually did die last summer and they did mention her real name. I think it was a Japanese indie streamer.

>>2455510
I Am not sure they would even announce it to be honest, they either say the character graduate or (in a better choice in my opinion) drop the kayfabe and make an announcement with the real name of the person in question

The question is: If any of them died, would Cover tell anything to the public? Would they do something like Kaoru and just say they suddenly graduated without a farewell party?

I'd brain myself

>>2455697
kek

>>2455674
Sorry, the ones who sent them the most red superchats during their lifetime get priority. Step aside.

>>2440512
AHAHAHA

>>2440287
Be a necrophile and wank of to that one drunk cover of country roads

>>2456062
That's a good question. Do they have a protocol in case one of the idols die. I mean they probably don't expect any of them to stick around long enough for age related complications, but what about accidents, illnesses or even a murder or suicide? Do they have something in place in case of a sudden death?

>>2441424
That's too fucking real, anon. Stop.

>>2441424
>Hearing Korone trying to get her overseas attention.
>"H-hey guys, this is last time we will meet together. Really really thank you for watching."

>>2461184
>Cover
>having a plan for anything
In any case they'd probably just issue a statement just saying they passed away without giving any specifics, probably disable comments on youtube and replies on twitter before privating them after a few days

>>2461350
No way Korosan coulld speak English this coherent

it is only a matter of time

>>2466141
Oof

>>2440512
I wouldn't be able to ever watch a vtuber again and probably ban myself from the internet if that happened. I'd be traumatized.

>>2440287
when korone dies i will kill myself in solidarity

>>2440688
>>2466141
>>2466156
someone spoonfeed me, i don't watch western shit

>>2466401
she have aids or something similar

>>2440287
There was a jp indie vtuber who died. She basically disappeared for a month with no news other than her last tweet about a hospital visit. Then one day, a blackscreen livestream went up on her channel and it's her mama(artist) crying and talking about what happened. It was too depressing to watch so i bailed early. I remember the was a thread where /jp/sies were reacting to it... does anyone remember it and have an archive link?

>>2466401
I can't remember specifics but she has some kind of degenerative disease that forces her to take strong immunosuppressants, so she can't do normal stuff and will inevitably end up dying from it regardless.

>>2466463
It wasn't Ugoku Chan was it?

>>2440287
Some vtubers just retire before they can die as a vtuber. Nonono from the Hanayori(?) Girls' Dorm did it. Also there's Rose, a South African vtuber who is in peril of getting lynched anytime because of the violent wave of black against white crimes in the nation. Recently when in a collab, she suddenly excused herself and made a lot of people worried. Some anons here were posting news articles on the latest rape+murder+dismemberment cases at her area and it was pretty scary. Also who the fuck sleeps with a knife under her pillow? God I hope she earns enough superchat money to bring her family away from that shithole.

>>2440287
I'd be sad about it for a while but I didn't know her personally and I'm used to content creators I like dropping like flies so I'd get over it soon.

>>2466643
It wasn't because this happened in 2019 or early 2020. I didn't know about Ugoku-chan, how did she die anyway?

>>2466702
nvm just found about about the suicide

>>2466652
Jesus christ. I live in a relatively safe part of the US, have a tiny bit of free space in my apartment, and an AK she can snuggle with instead. If she could raise enough money for a plane ticket I think there'd be quite a lot of people that would happily take her in and keep her safe, even if they know nothing about her.

>>2467433
It's not as simple as that, it's easy to move one person, but remember she has a family too.

>>2467464
IKTF. I have a friend in the UAE that's been wanting to leave and come over here for a while due to the horrendous expense of living there, but she doesn't want to leave her mom and sister behind.

>>2466702
Damn, I really can't find anything about this at all. Anyone know about this?

>>2467660
Ugoku? Seems like suicide.
"I'm not living, I'm just not dead yet", "I don't have motivation to live", "Thank you mommy and daddy".
You know, the works. It sucks but what can you do?

>>2461350
>one last "oh im die. thank you forever"

>>2467808
He already said he wasn't talking about Ugoku-chan but someone who died all the way back on 2019.

>>2465972
Imagine for a second that even one of them takes their en reps seriously. In five years they will be fluent. A little mindbending when you think about it. Imagine her speaking perfectly.

>>2467869
You're right, my bad.

>>2441424
I swear this board has some of the most fucked up posts on the site

>>2442760
lol why would you pin that on watamates of all people. she's so chill.

>>2466141
mouse is such a gentle person despite the appearance. Shits just unfair

>>2440287
I'd drop Hololive and retreat fully into M&B: Warband. Why do you ask?

>>2468280
Life expectancy is in the 50s IIRC, and that's an average. She should be above the average because she can limit her physical contact with the outside world thanks to her job.

For her youth she should be fine. Vtubers growing old is a new territory but we have ones in the 30s and more already that do fine, so she could potentially keep doing it if the market holds well enough.

>>2440287
>Korone is so old that she will literally die within your lifetime

How do you even begin to cope with this?

>>2468401
living in complete isolation is very soul draining even with support. I should know that Ive been a NEET for many years
some of the stories she tells are really heartbreaking

>>2440287
Go on with my life because ignoring roommate shit is a two way street

>>2455805
That's where it gets tricky. It would probably be best to just state that the actor has passed and not reveal their identity for the sake of their family.
Imagine grieving your daughter only for her to get doxed and then have to deal with an army of autists coming out of the woodwork to scream at you about their dead waifu.
Sure half of hololive's identities are known but announcing them would just make the news reach a wider group who might never have looked into it.

>>2468443
She's not *that* old

>>2466401
Ironmouse became a Vtuber due to having an degenerative illness that left her pretty much bedridden and not really being able to do anything but stream. Much of her donations go to medical bills and building a more comfortable setup since she spends nearly all her time in her rig.

I'd be happy if they all died. Fucking parasites.

>>2468151
Watamates watch her because she is so chill and wholesome. If you take away the thing that’s been filling the void in their souls I have no doubt in my mind there would be worldwide mass seppuku.

>>2440287
Unless it was an accident/or in worsf cases, suicide, they would either graduate or move on to better things before that.

Your oshi reads your comment and dies of cringe on stream.

>>2468443
She's not even menopausal yet. She will probably outlive many of us considering she started exercising and eating well since she got into Hololive, plus she's a woman so that's another 10+ extra years compared to us.

>>2466141
Kek

ironmouse general?

>>2470424
God if only, maybe then Kiara would fuck off.

>>2470461
People always forget Japanese live incredibly long. Especially fit one like Korone

Isn't Korone about the same age as Okayu?

>>2470516
older

>>2470516
Korone has like a decade on Okayu

>>2461350
>"Oh, I'm keeping your yubis btw"

>>2468332
This, if my regiment didn't retire from i

>>2475618
*from NW

Aqutan...

>>2466652
Is this the Africat I've heard about?

>>2477271
Yes, although now we have 2 africats, including Nekoreen

>>2455697
Schizo memes aside, considering the things Gura has said about her health in the past I'm unironically worried about her.

>>2466446
genetic AIDS, not fag/slut/junkie AIDS

>your favorite vtuber has not been born yet

Imagine simping for an 18 year old girl born in the year 2055

>>2477641
based?

>>2440287
That would suck, but i'd be more worried for her fans.

>>2441424
Do a story for gura

>>2470461
so this is how you cope, huh?

>>2470516
Korone is over a decade older than Okayu

>>2440287
I could see it happening

>>2440287
I go oh no, look at the shitstorm and the mourning posts then move on

>>2468151
Watamates are mentally unstable and send her sob story supas

>>2440476
It'll happen one day for real. Korone or whoever is reading this's favorite vtuber will die. You'll wake up one day, and see a post on Twitter that says they're gone. You won't believe it and rush to see their YouTube channel. Nothing. Eveything will be wiped away

>>2440287
>literally

>>2478160
>Gura is laying on a hospital bed
>she's doing a karaoke stream for all her fans
>her voice is course and she periodically breaks up the singing to cough
>a constant torrent of comments are coming through chat saying "Gira, you don't have to sing for us...", "Don't push yourself so hard, Gura, talking is fine!" and more similar comments.
>"Don't worry, guys. I'm fine," Gura says before having a small coughing fit, "it was the top voted choice in the poll, you guys were so excited for it!"
>Gura has another coughing fit as Amelia then enters the room with a ukulele in hand
>Guras voice is obviously strained and rugged as she says, "look everyone, Ms. Watson is here with her ukulele!"
>"H-hey Gura..." Amelia solemnly replies
>Amelia walks up next to Gura and sits down next to her, her grim frown visible of stream next to Guras weakened face struggling to maintain a smile
>"Hey Amelia, can you sing that chug jug song? I need to drink some water first" Gura says, slowly turning on her side to reach the night stand
>"Y-yeah, sure, anything for you Gura..."
>Amelia still bears a frown as She preps her ukulele
>Amelia takes a deep breath and-
>"Ta-"
>Amelia stops upon hearing her voice Crack
>Her lips begin wavering as she tries to clear her throat
>Her eyes tighten as a shine lines the rim of her eyelid
>"Take m-"
>Her voice is even more off than before
>She's gritting her teeth as tears begin streaming down her face
>"T-take me... to..."
>Amelia bends down to obscure her face from the camera, her chest convulsing as she tries to stiffle her crying
>Gura turns back over and put an arm on Amelia's shoulder, her arm visibly shuddering from her deteriorating condition
>Amelia turns and pushes her face into Gura's shoulder and wraps her arms around her, bawling her eyes out while Gura softly strokes the back of her head

>>2440287
As a 35p I certainly worry about this. Especially with the health problems Miko has had.

Hope they don't do dumb shit like delete everything she's ever made out of respect for the deceased

>>2480432
did he really die?

>>2486915
The one behind him didn't, Kaoru sure did though

>>2440287
Sell my pc and buy a ticket to Russia, join the fight in donetsk and die in a ditch because of some fag ukranian

I’d like to ask the same question as OP however the cause of death is war with china

>>2469718
go to helll

>>2481699
Thanks, I hate it.

I don't think I'd cry or anything, but I'd be really sad. It's weird to think I'd grieve for a person I don't even know.
It would be one thing if they graduated or something, but straight up dying would be a tragedy, they're all too young for that. Unless they killed themselves, which would be worse in a way.

On that note, which vtuber is the most likely to off themselves? My bet is on the alcoholic, nihilistic shark.

>>2466463
Which Holo would you all be least surprised to find out they committed suicide?

>>2491805
Polka, Gura, Kiara. In that order.
Does Aloe still count? She's my top contender.

>>2491939
>Gura
Why her?

>>2440287
i'm surprised it hasn't happened yet

>>2492002
mega imposter syndrome destroys her life (again)

>>2492279
>imposter

>>2491533
>which vtuber is the most likely to off themselves?
Rushia or Polka

>>2477391
If you know about HER you know she was not leading a healthy life before this, I hope she has gotten better

i had a dream once Coco irl persona got murdered by Chinese mafia a week after the Taiwan controversy.

>>2493449
This is what 4chan does to your brain

>>2494110
mass media in general

>>2440287
I wouldn't be half as sad as I was when Non Non Biyori ended.

>>2440287
I would fap.

>>2501513
these are so badly written and edgy a 14 year old must have done them

>>2501555
An edgy ESL clearly, if the spelling and grammar mistakes didn't make it obvious. So worse than than a 14 year old.

>>2492307
SUS

>>2440287
I always think about how everyone I know and love could suddenly die in some freak accident or some crazed lunatic deciding they’ll be their next person in their kill count. Shit fucking sucks man

>>2440512
If you ever heard someone agonizing/dying, you know it would be absolutely traumatizing.

>>2503585
Naw. It would be hot.

>>2492279
>(again)
What happened to HER?

>>2503630
Her roommate was playing up the ironic weeb/drunk gremlin loli persona on her old channel
Rrats keep saying she hated doing it and was disgusted, and it shows in how straight-edge Gura is trying to be

>>2503702
I think that's more due to EN's managers being excessively strict. Except for Mori's but no one gives a fuck about her.

>>2503702
This actually make me wonder
When you apply for holo auditions don't you need to show them some of your old content to prove you're a talented content maker/streamer?
I wonder if Gura had the stones to show her roommate's channel
You think it was the "uwu PLEASE ADOPT ME" that made her an instant hire?

>>2481699
>>"Take m-"E DOWN TO THE PARADISE CITY WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND THE GIRLS ARE PRETTY

i was actually thinking about what it would be like if a notable vtuber died. like a sudden and accidental death. how would they even announce something like that? and would their social media and merch get taken down?
i hope these questions never get answered for real but it's not like it could never happen

>Bros... What if your favorite Vtuber literally died?
IM FREE

Celebrate good times cmon

>>2503966
Of course she would. "I made a million sub channel on my own" is a huge highlight that would immediately get her application at the very top of the pile.

Which Vtuber will die from the vaccine first?

>>2440287
I would probably never know

I'm very likely to die before any of the chuubas i watch
