/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>3150103
damn i wish i could read

It’s too much.

Ogey schizo.

>>3150103
Pekora demanded a speaking role and threw a fit when she was refused and used her clout to get Cover to remove the entire reference to her character

>>3150103
Duh! We knew this would happen after the doom easter egg. Cover is so full of themselves, I bet they fully believe they invented vtubing and idols.

>>3150172
big if true

My dad accidentally started watching vtubers because of this.

>>3150103
Considering it was a few seconds reference that wasn't even the same fur color as Pekora herself noted, this should be protected even under the most strict copyright laws.

>>3150176
I think Cover doesn’t understand that some of this stuff benefits them simply to leave it as it is. They are too overprotective when it’s not that serious, or anywhere close to a financial loss to themselves.

>>3150215
Huh, It was exactly pecor, but with olive color instead of blue. All the features were there.

>>3150103
Dumbasses don't know that copyright requires you to protect your copyright. They copied her way too fucking similarly and had to make it clear where they draw the line. They also never asked for permission to do so. An anime isnt a paper doujin that will be sold for a limited time.

>>3150103
whats the context behind this?

>>3150103
>>3150172
>>3150176
>>3150232
Not this shit again. read the translate s fags.

>>3150232
And here comes that retards that don't understand jack shit about how protection of copyrighted property works.
You let it slide once because it's harmless, and next thing you know is that someone else is using it for profit/cause you financial loss but you already set a precedent they can use to hide their asses.

They executed her, didn't they?

>>3150215
>changing the colour of an exact replica model makes it okay
hello, retard department?

>>3150232
Japanese management structure are full of dinosaurs and retards still thinking this is the early 2000s so nothing new, they'll never realize it's literally free advertising.

>>3150288
And here comes the 12 year olds who never watched anime or know anything about japanese culture or japanese copyright protection. Otaku stuff was always full of references, and no one ever threw a sissy fit, because creators always keep their rights to their creations in japan and a reference is free advertising.

>>3150270
Most companies don’t go this far. Only one I can think of is Nintendo.

Holy fucking shit, Cover is such a shit company

Oh my god it's the final yab. Pack it up, it's going under

>>3150279
see >>3150294; pekora made a cameo.in some isekai anime

>>3150270
Anime characters can look similar because they’re not real humans (less details), hemce the more characters that are made, the more similarities are to be found.

Some fanbase nijiniggers got all uppity and concern trolled animation studio, so they contacted cover, apologized and will redraw that character.
This isn't even a rrat, this is literally what happened.

>>3150285
the timeloops are getting more frequent now

>>3150298
Hair length and clothing too. Point being retard, it's a parody reference with no speaking lines much like a background character references that have happened thousands of times in anime. Christ, you fags are so quick to try and nitpick something and try and sound smart you miss the point entirely.

>>3150288

Cover has a long history of having no idea what the fuck they are doing on the corporate level.

>>3150380
take your meds

>>3150363
Cover is the blackest gorilla company, no wonder they jumped on the horsepussy game, a long known money laundering scheme. I bet they are even associated with the yakuza.

>>3150172
This is true, she threw her YouTube sub award at Yagoo and it instead landed on an interns tit. She screamed in pain and Pekora got mad and screamed "shut the fuck up you stupid Kagoshima whore, yelp again and ill have then send you right back to your little shithole of a town". Then she went on a rant about how dare the anime company refuse her because she was THE pekora. Then she cried for like an hour and cursed yagoo while the intern heldback tears, she was clearly in pain the whole time while Pekora threw her tantrum. Whole thing was pretty weird to he honest. Intern is fine now if anyone wanted to know, yagoo apologized for Pekora, because pekora herself sure as hell isn't.

>>3150103
N1 bros, translate onegai

>>3150399
Based nijichads, showing holoturds their places.

We're being raided aren't we?

>>3150399
Nijisanji fans do not care about Hololive. That would be like the Patriots caring about the Jets.

>>3150440
Basically this
>>3150172
But behind the scenes this
>>3150421

>>3150450
You need to win something tangible first for this analogy to make any sense.

>>3150421
Is Pekora really that much of a diva?

>>3150176
You never take 'free' favors in business

>>3150399
Stop with those rrats. discordfags read this and think it's true.

Cover are bitches

https://twitter.com/isekaimaou/status/1387345855250714631/
Go check the tweet and check replies for translation. Cover literally didn't care, but "audience pointed out", so they went full jap and dogeza'd and will sudoku that animator.

>>3150103
Translate this shit weebs

>>3150285
Link?

>>3150450
I don't get it, wouldn't patriotic people care jets and the army and stuff like that.

>>3150285
these people don't even watch the streams, expecting them to translate this shit and understand what happened instead of making narratives is unrealistic.

>>3150338
>Full of references
You mean those things like characters saying iconic lines or a specific object that may or may not be attributed to a specific other anime character and you can't copyright? Good job proving you're actually fucking retarded and can't tell the difference

>>3150542
No, I mean characters from other anime, not even from the same studio in the background like of references.

>>3150523
>Translate this shit weebs
Cover: “I’m Nintendo and Disney combined.”

>>3150421
Im not surprised, she thinks she is the face of Hololive, she always acts like she is above everyone else.

>>3150472
As far as I know Ichikara is a much bigger company in revenue and profit, much like the record for live viewers is with Nijisanji: 189k, from last year.

>>3150472
Is merchandise revenue not tangible?

>>3150440
Blah blah no official collaboration character withdrawn thank you almighty and gracious Cover for being so understanding.

It can be any narrative you want, it doesn't say Cover asked it to be removed but it doesn't say they didn't, nor who did.

>>3150103
>>3150294
Out of all the characters in hololive, they chose Pekora who has the most unique feature of all of them: carrots on her braided twintails.

>>3150363
>>3150420
meds both of you

>>3150593
It could be a case of whoever put the character there didn't get permission to from his own studio and they bowed out.

>>3150103
This makes me wonder how they can get away wearing Pekora cosplay in JAV. Can someone explain like I am 5 years old?

>>3150593
pretty sure Yagoo had the director in his basement for a few hours of torture fun, even Pekora joined, taking off a finger or two of him.

>>3150521
dont expect this thread full of schizos sucking each other dicks to care about the truth

>>3150605
>rabbits having carrots is unique
Anon…

>>3150620
You have no idea how anime is made, right?

>>3150652
Its happened before that some low level person does it without approval of the higher ups.

>>3150593
it says they consulted Cover but considering parody isn't protected in Japan, the production committee could have made the decision on their own to play it safe regardless of whether Cover actually cared or not.
>>3150288
anon... that applies to trademarks.

>>3150593
Maybe Pekora's illustrator? Do they have any say on this or are the character's copyrights owned exclusively by Cover?

>>3150686
>parody isn't protected in Japan
You are retarded like no other on this board.

>>3150103
You just posted one. The thing you screencapped is literally the "sorry, we'll ask next time" letter we've seen before, you retard.

>>3150288
>precedent they can use to hide their asses
Copyright lawsuits are determined in a case-by-case basis, Japan follows the civil law aka the one 99% of the world except anglos use so precedents are more contestable.

>>3150421
That's true, I was Pekora's chair.

>>3150489
Pekora has done way worse, she has made multiple interns cried. Once she made this girl from Kagamasaki (a japanese slum) do the dogeza stuff for 30 minutes straight because she got her mango-peach tea and she wanted mango-pineapple tea. This girl was super hard working and thankfull because she came from such a humble background, everyone liked her but as soon as Pekora saw that she got jealous and started being a complete bitch to her she would call her slumgirl and kusogasaki-chan(play on words between shit and kamagasaki). Made her cried multiple times but the tea thing was one of the worst, eventually she quit and Pekora look happy that day, yagoo felt like shit for it and helped her find a job at a marketing firm of a friend of a buddy he has, she is doing much better now but the whole episode really showed how petty Pekora is, she just went over the line you know.

>>3150708
its not, why do you think they have to even censor mentions of other copyrights in their media?

>>3150450
Cool story, nijifaggots are constant source of issues for Holos. Holocaust, mass reports leading to shadowbans, multiple minor yabs (janitor joke, yaoi in the fridge prank) blown out of proportion...

>>3150651
>on their braided twintails
Ok anon. Show us your superior knowledge and name other characters with this feature.

>>3150760
Mentioning a title is not parody. References are common, which IS parody.

>>3150399
Source your ass up faggot.

>>3150705
Of course they have, creators keep their IPs even if was contract work. It caused shit happening before.

>>3150745
meds

>>3150399
nijiniggers deserve the rope

>>3150745
That's also true, I was that girl.

>>3150779
>if two rabbits that like carrots (basically all rabbits) have braids, then a crime was committed.
Anon…

No one answered my question about how JAV companies get away with doing Hololive cosplay in porn movies!

>>3150421
I can attest to this, Pekora arrived home crying and shaking, I had to cuddle with her for HOURS to calm her down

>>3150879
Because no one complains. Remember when the idolmaster company pulled that movie out of circulation? Of course not, because you are here since the vtubing started, which is the peak of newfagotry.

>>3150760
Have you ever noticed how in anime they make references to trademarked names without outright stating them? Like referring to McDonalds by using their big M but turned on it's head into a W.

The studio in question basically did the same with Pekora.

>>3150879
Japanese companies do not want to infringe on something that brings them a lot of viewers.

>>3150879
>yagoo: Hey dont do porn of my hologirls, stop right now
>shady guy with a giant fish tatoo: yeah,ehh no, we are not, is there a problem with that?

EVERY FUCKING DAY

retard-chama...

read the thread, not fucking ANN >>>>/vt/thread/S3027930#p3028762

April 28, 2021
Report from the production committee
We would like to report on the fact that a background character reminiscent of Usada Pekora, a talent belonging to Hololive, was drawn in the second episode "Isekai Maou 2", which was pointed out by the viewers.

First of all, we sincerely apologize to all the fans and related parties of Usada Pekora and the viewers of "How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord 2" for their concern.

Regarding this matter, we received your feedback and immediately confirmed the facts within the production process, and then sent a background report to Hololive Production Co., Ltd., which is the operating company of Hololive Production, and consulted with them regarding future measures.

As a result, we were able to come to an agreement with Cover Co., Ltd., and we will cooperate with the management on how to proceed regarding similar matters in the future. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Cover Inc. for their understanding.

We would also appreciate it if you could continue to support "Isekai Maou to Shoujo no Shakumon Majutsu (2)"
Isekai Maou 2 Production Committee

>>3150818
>known company diva does diva things
>m mm m m meds
Anon come on.

>>3150103
Can someone translate that shit ? I dont speak ching chong

>>3150879
Do you really want to have twitter and an internet article linking your company to JAV companies?

>>3150879
Are you really going to go after yakuza money? Even Cover knows better.

>>3150969
>fans: "look it's pecoria, how cool is that"
>cover: "FUCKING REMOVE IT REEEEEEEE"

>>3150979
explain me how much holofags hurt you little schizo

>>3150969
so basically, "fans" raised concern directly at their twitter, they thought they were in trouble and contacted Cover. Cover said it was ok, but the animefag company was already too scared of twitter and pulled out.

oh yeah we are definitely being raided

>>3150879
You really think some herbivore man working at Cover will try to approach a Yakuza guy, let alone try to talk him down?

>>3150877
wtf are you even on about

>>3151073
And you will enjoy it.

>>3150969
>>3151073
Its weekend so rrats are it again.

>>3151055
She is a diva anon, everyone knowns. You think she respects interns? You think she respects interns from poor towns? Even worse. She is peak fucking diva.

>>3150969
so falseflaggers like always and japanese being japanese, that explains so much butthurts in this thread

>>3150521
>Cover literally didn't care
Cover just released a statement on their policy on the use of their IP on derivative works. You think that's just a coincidence?

>>3150985
>>3150969
every day the trolls try making a new thread about this

>>3150341
Actually if Cover want to go far enough, they can send C&D letter to anyone who made fan game with their character like Nintendo did. Fortunately we haven't see them send that to Smol Ame creator or HoloFightZ stream

>>3151030
Your reading comprehension reps...

>>3151055
>anyone that doesn't kiss the ass of my beatiful angel of an oshi is a schizo

>>3151062
The infamous Jap autism that makes autists in the west look sane sometimes.

>>3151130
sure little schizo, guess your voices in your head were really loud this time

>>3151181
dont be so butthurt retardchaama, I know other people succes makes you mad but at least try to do something productive

Is insane how many people get fucking livid the second any criticism lands on Pekora or her behavior.

>>3150818
>>3151055
>>3151207
Stop taking such obvious bait lol

>>3150745
>>3150979
>>3151130
(You)

>>3151258
Pekorafags are insane because pekora is number one right now so they see her as this perfect holo who can do no wrong. The amount of autistic screeching when she loses her spot to Gura is gonna be something to behold.

>>3151258
>be more popular
>reaction to criticism is stronger
wow, really insane how that works

>>3151303
In what is she number one?

>>3150288
they can't use a precedent of NOT suing. That's just not a thing.

>>3151303
We know this will never happen.

>>3150421
That's true. I was in the room as a rrat when it happened.

>>3151303

She already lost when Gura was the first one to hit 2 million.

Chumbuds are the butt of the joke.

>>3151352
man, Hololive is really beating the shit of other companies. Nijikeks and Vtrannies really seethe over this

This thread is complete shit.

>>3151312
It is insane, for example Gura is one of the other popular ones (not as much as pekora but she is up there) and chumbuds always, always take criticism with a cool head. Even when antis arrive they take it calmly, but with pekora fags you say "you know maybe she is ok, not my thing but its cool if you like her" and immediately they will jump on you all at once.

>>3150406
Except you've missed the point, If Cover wanted to, they could take this company to court. Pekora is an original design, which they own. It's the reason girls don't keep designs if they leave. They make money from merch with her on it. It's not a case of 'it's a reference', it doesn't matter.

All of the other 'references' you're talking about ALSO have legal precedent to take them to court, they just choose not to because usually it's not worth the effort, and sometimes they're not guaranteed to win.

But jesus, dude, they usually at least ask permission, this was just a random animator putting it in and not even letting the animation company know.

Why is everything surrounding Pekora so off to me...she really does give off massive "bitch behind her avatar" vibes.

>>3150686
>anon... that applies to trademarks.

Mascots are trademarkable, and Cover has registered trademarks of all their screen talent even A-Chan and Yagoo.

>>3151420
The rrats posted could be true and i wouldn't be the least bit surprised. For a long time she has had a stuck up air and attitude to herself.

>>3151418
>this was just a random animator putting it in and not even letting the animation company know.
I have no words, this is the most retarded thing I've ever read on this website. Good job, anon.

>>3150103
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XGOaWtsOmM

>>3151534
That is the actual party line being used by the studio. They're probably throwing a wage slave under the bus on this, but without concrete evidence it is the highest levels of rratardation to claim its anything else.

Chumcucks seething over Pekora's grandiosity as always.

Is this a raid from somewhere? The posts here just reek of samefagging, bait, and general stupidity and everyone is just swallowing it whole.

>>3151609
That's not how anime is made. the director has full control of what is happening with each scene and each frame, even if they are outsourced. the only thing I can imagine how this happened is that literally no one in the animation company except that one guy knew who Pekora was, so they though it was an original design. Big Fucking LMAO then.

>>3151612
What is wrong with you guys? Do you think Pekora is perfect, her shit doesn't smell. You don't chumbuds being this obsessive.

>just antis and concern trolls stirring up shit.

>>3150103
legal departments get real anal about IPs because if a company isn't actively enforcing it's copyright, they risk losing it.

>>3151747
Gura can only dream to have such a dedicated fanbase as the nousagis.

>>3151747
Rabbit shit doesn't smell. Except if the rabbit is ill.

>>3151747
It's true, I even saw Pekora being racist in Greggs.

>>3150745
Why does /vt/ have so many amateur writers?

>>3151747
Rabbits literally eat their own shit, so I would guess it doesnt smell.

>>3151747
Pekora is a rabbit and rabbit shit don't smell.

>>3151857
This, I thought it's common knowledge that Ayame is considered being a racist because she took the blame for one of Pekora's outburst.

>>3150270
>Dumbasses don't know that copyright requires you to protect your copyright

No, it does not. Trademarks require you protect them.

>>3151336
It is actually but it's more of a trademark thing like that other anon said. Essentially the thinking is that a trademark is something that is associated with something else (like a name or design) and it's the association that's important rather than the symbol itself. If the trademark owner doesn't do their due diligence to protect that association by exercising their trademark (i.e. suing) then that association weakens over time, and they could lose their trademark status. Consider the term "band-aid" which is actually a trademark term, but is used in everyday speech as a generic word for adhesive bandage. However Johnson & Johnson maintains their trademark because they continue to defend it. Or consider the word "dumpster" which was a trademark but lost its legal protections.

In my case I never liked her, without being part of any boogeyman fanbases Nousagis here mentioned

>>3151857
What was she doing, lad?

>>3151695
Do you think the director designs every single background character? In a shot with potentially hundreds of background characters an animator could very easily slip in whatever they want. It wouldn't even be the director who checks this but the animation director. Now this shot didn't have hundreds of background characters, but you're still assuming that a director will meticulously check this stuff which is really just dependent on how much the director cares about background details. They could easily just give it a quick glance, make sure the actually important details conform to the storyboard and okay it.

>>3152849
Good to see you can't even properly read a post.
And yes, that's why they are directors, they need to control the whole thing. As I mentioned, probably they didn't know the character that's why it slipped through, if even that happened in the first place.

>>3152957
Maybe you need to learn to read because you're disagreeing with a post without countering what it says.

>>3153152
I never said the director designs the characters. You were wrong in the very first sentence, faglord.

>>3151145
>Cover just released a statement on their policy on the use of their IP on derivative works.
For their songs

>>3150626
Yes because JAV is porn and it would probably draw more attention to the porn than if they did nothing at all. This was a TV show that aired live.

>>3153217
You seem to think so because you're so retarded you don't see how the director could okay a shot with a character an animator designed. Because the director doesn't care about those things. You also seem to think the director would go through each individual frame when that would be the animation director's job. You replied to another post saying that's not how anime is made when that's exactly how anime is made. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about retard.

>>3150575
and nowadays they cant beat a small company :(

>>3153366
You absolute retard, animators don't generally design characters. Also I exactly said that the entire staff didn't know about the character that's why it was allowed. it seems you really can't even read a fucking post you are replying to. It's clear you have no idea what you are talking about, so keep shut.

>>3153535
It's a fucking background character you fucking retard. They can let animators design those characters. This is something that happens. Stop talking about things you don't know about.

>>3153584
You can stop replying you shithead, you have no idea about anything. Stop talking out of your ass already. You are worse than Pekora.

>>3153740
Oh, you're just a troll. Never mind then.

>>3153479
>100k+
Damn, I didn't know it was that high.

>>3153795
Ah that took you a while. At least you got it at the end there.

>>3150103
Cover was fine with it, everyone was happy, it's free advertisement and it's a parody. But apparently there's a minority of fans that didn't like this and took advantage of some copyright law and both the production company and cover have to do something. Why do they always give in to these petty demands.

>>3153479
Does Nijisanji do the same thing Hololive does where no one streams during a debut or do they just not care?

>>3153479
Japanese only cares about thing inside Japan, and of course they don't have 100k of EOP views

>>3151407
>chumbuds always, always take criticism with a cool head. Even when antis arrive they take it calmly, but with pekora fags you say "you know maybe she is ok, not my thing but its cool if you like her" and immediately they will jump on you all at once.
It’s harder to criticize JP streamers in general.

>>3150421
That's not even the worst of it. I remember this one time I saw Pekora at a grocery store in Tokyo. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, "Parrrdun?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but she kept cutting me off and going "AH HA HA HA HA HA HA" and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off.

Wow japanese fans are vocal about the copyright infringement and they are not happy. Theyre discontented with the disrespect towards Pekora's brand and the whole not contacting Cover about this at all thing. I guess they were holding out hope for a proper collaboration. There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the episode redrawn. Obviously that wont happen but it shows how unhappy they are.

>>3156845
They just don't care. There's a huge difference when you have 20 or so members, and 5 are being added, where every member tells their viewers that they're getting a new gen, etc. and having 100+ members adding 5, where the average member has to be told by chat that they're getting new people.

>>3151420
Why don't you just look her up on NND? Or are you just baiting?

>>3157323
Dam this is some good gaslighting

>>3156845
yes they do just like Uiha´s 3D debut

>>3157068
this was before EN debut copechaama

>>3150172
Nah, i think pekora is just mad that she's being portrayed as a peasant. She's the princess of pekoland in reality and she hates the poor (she's a huge numberfag).

If they're going after this already, how long until they'll go for holofightz and nasfaq?

>>3154036
Anon you've been having a conversation with 2 separate people...
I stopped replying after I realised you were retarded, the other anon let you keep runnung your dog mouth fot a while

>>3157323
Holy shit, why does japs have to be such autistics ?

>>3150294
its a cute cameo. shame

>>3150172
begone rrat

>>3150103
Well yeah, Cover owns the trademarks to the character Pekora. Imagine how fucked a company would be if they put Mickey Mouse in their show without asking Disney for permission first. Cover did the right thing by asking for removal first instead of a lawsuit against the production company.

>>3150103
I mean it was pretty much obvious this shit would happen.

The placements of the carrots on her braids were spot on, and outside of the piss yellow filter the hair color could've pretty much been the same, save the bunny ears.

Don't be surprised if we start seeing the same reprimands on other chuubas appearing in serialized mangas, like Coco or Aqua

Kek

>>3150421
That's correct, I'm Pekora peko.

>>3150745
kek

>>3150103
They literally copied Pekora design without asking first. Japan is retarded when it comes to copyright, so this was expected.

>>3150450
nijiniggers are fucking feral retardchama

>>3150421
Can confirm, I was outside that room hearing all that racket. For reference Ollie was getting fingered too and would drown any noice in the office with her moans and you could STILL hear Pekora screaming, this work environment is not ogey.
Also there was this time Pekora lost her shit and gave Ayame a kinniku buster out of nowhere, it destroyed her anus leading to all the issues she has now, sorry ayamebros...

>>3150450
Looking at the trackrecord of how Nijisanji fans act, that is a lie. I think it is the other way around, most Hololive fans have no clue just how vindictive and spiteful nijisanji fans have been.

>>3151387
>OP says post rrats
>People post rrats
>Complain about it

>>3157912
Literally not the one you were replying to. It was amusing watching you debate with a dedicated troll. But hey! You figured it out, congrats. :)

>>3150270
>Dumbasses don't know that copyright requires you to protect your copyright.
This is a hilarious sentence.

Is Cover stupid? Do they not know how to marketing works? This pekora appearance would get normies and ironic weebs to check out who this rabbit that showed up is, but nope once again they don't understand about free getting the word out.

I like how you call other people dumbasses when you yourself don't know how copyright law works.

Copyright law doesn't require active protection, that's trademark law. If copyright law worked like that then copyright orphans wouldn't be a thing

Not a good look honestly.

Yeah, she should be wearing the bunny suit instead of the simple pauper dress.

No one mentions how she carries a gun and flashes people like some kind of American gang-banger for shits and giggles.
I guess it's cause she's never used it, everyone just hopes it's not really loaded.

Cover did anything wrong lol

It was the studio who were shitting themselves and decided to remove the reference.

vtuber anti exists and they don't care which group they are from. if you look at the quote retweets of this particular post you'll see lots of people saying "Vbutas are mad ww"

They're right but used the wrong wording. Hololive characters are trademarked as mascots, not copyrighted. Doesn't matter though, because the statement says Cover didn't make them remove it.

>Cover literally didn't care.
Good luck getting anybody to listen, The Kaguya and Tonikaku references, among others don't exist to them apparently, nor the utter lack of them saying literally anything officially.
If anything this threads a good sign you should head elsewhere.

Doesn't help that the OP started the thread with an absolute bullshit statement. Going by his posting style I'm going to say he's the same globalnigger who's been making those Haato graduation threads.

It was worse than it looked. The corner of the award plaque actually tore her areola and her booby filling oozed everywhere. Sad!
