/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

You should have seen this coming, your fault

>>50058086
She already said this is the "new normal".

>>50058086
i'd love to hear people's theories on why. is she really suffering from health issues or is it something else and health is a convenient cover normies wont question

>im doing what i can, when i can

>>50058450
Turns out she meant nothing and never

>>50058371
No, she didn't. She said she doesn't know what the new normal is.
The amount of fucking thread reading that goes on in /vt/ is insane

>>50058086
she'll be back once the bad eggs are all gone

At this point I'd take one stream a week as long as it means she doesn't fuck off for weeks at a time, but she won't even do that
Something has to give, this can't continue

She's always been like this is just newfags and chudbums pretend that Senzawa never existed. Even as Senzawa she'd be gone months just to upload a 3 minute video to then fuck off again with karaoke stream once every two months. or she would collab with her ex on his channel sometimes.

If she's a Mother now then she is doing the right thing by, you know, being a mother
So even if she can disclose this information I back her up all the way

>>50058413
The health issues excuse went out of the window when she was able to work insane hours in Japan.

>>50058663
wait you're saying gura is reincarnating again? to what? she gave up her old yt channel to literally pioneer a new field

what's next? head of metaverse working for zuckerberg?

>>50058603
What, do you expect us to watch her nonexistent streams?

>>50058413
members and superchats are a drop in the ocean compared to merch and sponsors, aslong as she can keep making hella money on them shell not bother streaming

>>50058748
I used to think this but if you read between the lines they weren't actually that busy. Mori and Kiara had time to travel and meet up with other people. Ina and Ame talked about all the days they went shopping. And Gura talked about all the tv shows and movies she binged while hiding in her apartment in Japan.

>>50058827
No streams also means no chance of yabs happening on stream that could reduce her merch/sponsor income.

>>50058086
She's waiting until even the last questionable fan ditches her so she doesn't get flooded with demands of explaining herself when she comes back for good again (this time for real-real)

>>50058086
Literally who?

>>50058783
Who knows. But this to her is just a side gig. Even as profitable as it has been.

>>50058882
Even if they didn'twork that much in Japan, my point still stands. If she is able to record for 10 hours straight, go to dance lessons, record performances, etc., then she can stream at least 8-12 hours per week, but she can't even be bothered to make a tweet.

>>50058413
i want to say something happened around october last year that made cover not renew her contract after the en concert, possibly until october 2023 (six months from april, beginning of japanese fiscal year)
maybe she's too difficult to work with, she had a problem with something, they told her and now she's phoning it in. still seems weird to throw out the merch cash cow

>>50058086
No. It’s time to get over it.

>>50059097
Gura started going off the rail way before that post it started during those 4 months she was out there "house hunting" arc.

>>50059177
Can confirm the house-hunting arc was when all that shit started

>>50059272
>House hunting in July
>Bought the house and moved in in Nov/Dec
>Immediately started trying for baby
>Pregnant around April/May, 2-month health break was the delivery

My guess is burnout, but whatever it is, I don't think its okay how she handles it.

My rrat: Cover is punishing her for being #1, and making her stream less to lose popularity.
That, or she has given up because of how many times she's been told no on things she's wanted to do.

>>50059402
At this point, there's only two possible explanations:
>Whatever it is would be even more damaging for her career if exposed than what she does now (hates her job, baby as a unicorn chuuba, etc.)
>There is no second option, she's clearly malicious about this. Grow up.

>>50059370
If a fan killed her, she'd be a real life Oshi no Ko

>>50058634
>this can't continue
Why?

>>50059761
Because people are getting fed up.

>>50058413
Remember her complaining about management completely changing her birthday 3d and she had to cobble together something with Kanauru or she would have had nothing? She said it had something to do with Cover's vision of Gawr Gura the character. Remember how they blocked her daki even though she offered more comedic options like a Dino Gura one? We joke about her being a mascot at this point but that's actually the answer. She got too big at 4mil subs and lost control of her identity as Gura. She feels trapped but the other girls and the stuff like fes keep her around.

>>50059918
Only on this board. Redditors and Twitter users are completely fine with it and encourage her to not stream if she's not feeling good. If I could get money while doing absolutely nothing with no repercussions, I would do the same as her.

>>50058086
Her fans treat her like a circus animal so most likely not. I don't even blame her. I wouldn't want to stream for chumbuds either if I was her.

>>50058413
she's pragnant

>>50059097
Anon cover was willing to negotiate to keep Sana and has multiple JP members who hardly stream anymore. Gura phoning it in and leaving after her contract expires is all on her, not cover telling her to leave.

>>50060033
>She wants special treatment because of numbers
should have joined niji then lol

>>50060287
Sana has to be the worst case of not giving a single fuck, nepotism...

>>50060626
At least she fucked off.

>>50058413
Here's my rrat:
At some point, Gura legitimately had a health scare. She took the time off, went silent, and everyone both inside and outside the company just assumed she'd recover and be back to normal in a month or three. This isn't anything abnormal for a Hololive talent.
However, during this time a no activity, Gura realized she was making just as much money as when she was active. Or at least was making so much she was comfortably living and then some. Gura also hates the pressure of being the poster child and top talent numbers wise. So she simply decided she'd heavily slow down her output. Because why not? If any of us can live well off doing nothing, we would.
Management and Gura are not at an impasse: Cover doesn't want to lose a merch cash cow like Gura, and Gura doesn't want to lose her (mostly) passive income. So all Gura has to tell management is "Oh nyo, health issues!" and they begrudgingly accept giving her a light contract to keep her officially active.

>>50058086
She's dead anon. All the footage you see of her are prerecorded with an edited VA to sound like her.

>>50061064
i don't get why she get's celebrated to this day, she literally abandoned her fans and told them to not follow her anymore

>>50059370
Careful bro. I got a 3 day vacation for "No real life" pointing out Gura bought a house even though she said it on stream.

>>50061400
Sanalites really have huge stockholm syndrome.

>>50058413
I am willing to buy that it's related to health, be it disease or mental. But if that was the case, I have to wonder why she didn't elaborate on it more. I'd bet a significant number of Gura's fans would be more understanding over her constant disappearances if she gave a clear reason on why it keeps happening, but instead she doesn't really tackle the subject at all, even vaguely.

I swear having a child is the only explanation. Parents don't have time outside of caring for children

>>50061973
>I have to wonder why she didn't elaborate on it more
She can't elaborate on something that doesn't exist. There is no reason to work if you get money anyway, there's no other reason.

>>50061973
>>50058413
If it is health then how come she can do collabs when asked to and seems perfectly normal

>>50058413
>theories
she literally said it is that, retard

>>50058086
Why would she? She makes millions selling merch.

>>50058413
>i'd love to hear people's theories on why. is she really suffering from health issues or is it something else and health is a convenient cover normies wont question
Considering that in one year there has been 5 different hololive talents that had 2 to 3 month radio silent "health" breaks I would say convenient excuse. It's much better for Cover if hololive fans are worried for a talent with [insert random health problem] than having them know their favorite vtuber got suspended. Gura clearly does have a problem with management that still hasn't been fully resolved.

>>50061405
When you think about it, it's not because a vtuber discusses it on a stream that it becomes allowed on this board.

>>50061360
How is this even a rrat?
Her switching excuses every week should've given off that she'll say anything to get out of work, aka she's either lazy or PREGNANT

>>50062637
It literally is.

>>50062783
>discussion should pertain to a VTuber's streams and content, and should not pertain to their real lives
Since when do vtubers make the rules of this board? If a vtuber shows porn on stream does this stop being a blue board, too? I'm just telling it how it is.

>>50058086
Forget regular schedule worry about her life in general.

>>50063133
She seems to be doing alright from the glimpses of her we've caught this year.

>>50063094
>What a vtuber says during a stream is not part of the stream
How retarded are you?

>>50063133
>worry about her life
She's NOT my friend. She should NOT be my friend.

>>50063201
>AND should not pertain to their real lives
nigga go review your logic operators!

>>50063271
By that logic you couldn't talk about anything they say. Not about stories they tell, family members they mention, their previous jobs, the country they live in, etc. Get the mod's dick out of your mouth you retarded faggot.

>>50058086
hey, new art for the post today I see. Tomorrow can you mix up the wording as well?

>>50062275
Because when she does collabs there is minimal interaction with her fanbase.

>>50061973
> I have to wonder why she didn't elaborate on it more
her current supporters will support her with or without explanation, her schizos won't take any info at face value regardless of how honest she is, and her antis will oppose her even if she can give good justification for her absence. I don't think she has much to gain from elaborating on her situation

>>50063200
>>50063217
You don't know that.

>>50063837
Yeah. She's already lost all her intelligent fans. The chumpedos don't need explanations.

>>50063381
>By that logic you couldn't talk about anything they say.
Absolutely
>Get the mod's dick out of your mouth you retarded faggot.
Bro it's not my fault mods selectively enforce the rules, take it up with them.

>>50061973
Yes, this is likely it. It's only a matter of when this is revealed and not if.

>>50064054
Yeah, like sana's bad back.

>>50064107
Long COVID is what I firmly believe she has.

I'm tired. She has her mental illness but I also have mine, and waiting for her is fucking me up, so I'll just call it quits. The Kiara collabs really hurt.

All the comments about disordered eating were always a red flag.

>>50058621
Good

>>50064160
she has health issues but is still sucking down protein shakes. she's doing it to herself.

>>50064296
welcome to the club

>>50058603
The point is that she referred to it as the new normal you retard. The sentence is irrelevent.

>>50058086
>She's never coming back
Yeah...

>>50061400
You forgot to mention
*as her roommate

>>50062071
Yeah is true I reincarnated to be Gura's child.

>>50059575
Punishing for being #1? Godamn when I think I have heard it all, retardness is amazing.

EN Ayame

>>50065397
Average anti argument:
>She's lazy and doesn't care lol
Average chumbud rationale:
>She is being punished for her success

>muh projects busy hort
>I'm sick
>capture card hort
>PC hort
>I'm sick again
>laptop hort (Japan)
>I have terminal spaceAIDS supercancer (you are here)

Reminder that she strung these excuses for not streaming together in a seamless chain.

I dont even see her committing to an irregular schedule.
Literally even "I will stream once a month for one hour" is something she wouldnt be able to stick to

>>50067499

>>50058086
The only reason she hasnt graduated yet is because her character is too valuable for cover to give up. I wouldnt be surprised if she has a special contract that allows her to get a salary for doing nothing but simply staying in the company.

>>50068003
payday is coming. she'll stream soon.

>>50068174
she hasn't graduated yet because she is raking in money doing nothing. why the fuck would she graduate.

>>50068760
she should be terminated for not following her fucking contract and not doing her job. If they can get rid of rushia and let coco walk away then surely they can fire her. Money didnt seem to be an issue for them.

>>50068995
She probably pulled the "mental health hort" card based on some of her tweets and behavior in general so Cover doesn't want to open themselves up to litigation or at the least, bad optics if she reincarnated and talked about it. Not that I could ever see her doing that . Besides it seems obvious to me that her contract was renegotiated after the 1st year so she can be as complacent as she wants when in reality she has always needed (and probably subconsciously wanted) someone to ride her ass into streaming, as blue shark and blu enigma before.

>>50068995
>Rushia quit
She was fired dumbass

>>50069546
>get rid of rushia
thats what i said retard. learn to fucking read

>>50068995
rushia and coco were not their mascot. they can't just fire her.

>>50058783
Gura is Mark Zuckerberg with super advanced voice changer. you got Zuckershark'd

>>50064665
They're brain dead, Anon. Yesbuds can't read between the lines.. Or rather choose not to because the truth isn't what they want to hear.

>>50060033
Nta but to expand on that, gura has major self esteem issues and probably fears she would crash and become a 2view if she were to leave(she's a schizo just like us WE ARE)
So from her pov it's either being miserable making the big bucks on cover or being miserable as a 2 view, but without the money now

>>50073641
yes, her pl was a 2view....

>>50073641
she deserves to be a 2 view desu

No she's not and the writing was on the wall last May when she dropped schedules. 1 year ago she said she was "moving" then changed it to "house hunting" when people asked her about it. During that time she got a boyfriend and ever since then feels really guilty about taking money from lonely men. That's what she has been streaming less and less. That and she probably got pregnant

>>50065563
Average horni answer:
She's pregnant (and I'm the father)

>>50058086
>regular schedule
What's that?

>>50058086
It’s over… isn’t it?

>>50073641
If gura wanted to be an indie again I would follow her. Assuming THAT was the reason shes not streaming, that management is fucking her over and making her miserable and such, then yeah I'd absolutely follow her, hell she could do regular SFW CB streams or NSFW or stream on kik or whatever site I dont fucking care.
If the problem is some crazy fucked up yab she's done then less likely to follow her anywhere.

>>50058086
no, move on already retard

>>50058086
Seems like some members are fine with her absence but others aren't taking it well.

>>50058413
She just doesn't enjoy it anon

>>50058086
Nope, she's semi-retired/graduated. The only thing left is to wonder if she renews her contract or graduates. Not even Omega getting fired is enough to get her streaming again.

>>50059575
More like they want her do more, because of her popularity but she was never ambitious like that. She probably has extreme imposter syndrome and is trying to debuff herself as much as she can.

>>50058086
What do you mean? Streaming 2-3 times a month is her regular schedule.

I'm doing my part

>>50082938
anon, you don't have to get all the way down to zero to be retired. many retired people still do stuff, but just don't treat it like a job. gura is retired.

Why is this board so obsessed with streams? Go to Twitch if you want streamers. They'll eat, shit, and sleep on stream for you.

>>50083483
>no Gura
>no Kiara
Based

>>50083483
you... dont have very good taste anon

>>50084460
I know, I have excellent taste

>>50083705
>/vt/
>virtual youtubers
Uhh... what exactly do these people do, again?

So what the staff do to bring Gura back to streaming regularly? I'm thinking:
>let her streams as much react content as she wants on twitch
>cut out all non-essentially company activities other than streaming
>have Kiara move in with Gura and act as her handler and motivator

>>50084612
The only reason she hasn't quit like Sana is because Cover doesn't force her to stream.

>>50060033
Sad

>>50058371
>"new normal"
Gura's Birthday is coming up. Expect it to be bigger than before. The new normal won't happen until after that. Then soon all have to prepare for the HoloEN concert in July.

>>50058450
>i am doing nothing for my fans, but if I get invited to collab with someone I don't hate, fine.

>>50058086
Cancel your membership and unsub. Downvote the back catalog.
Until there are financial motivations to do better, the abuse of the chumbuds will continue.

>>50058413
I think it's severe imposter syndrome that spiralled out into depression.

Be honest
How much sex do you think Gura has weekly ?
