JP investors on Yahoo Finance are now clueing into NijiEN's declining viewership, as represented by the max CCV of their 3D debuts.
Investors have been watching the EN branch like a hawk recently after the Seren Shokku hit and they realized that overseas expansion was not going as well as Riku had promised.

>>72092356

Hello /news/, this is /warkop/ reporting from Indonesia our first time btw so..

We wanted to report on this
https://twitter.com/VRchama/status/1771117104055636441
The Indonesian Govt through the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy has started to take notice of our local Vtuber growth on their recent outlook, mainly for their impact for local animation industry, the outlook also took notice of Indonesia's viewership trend that shifted towards shorts, proved by the meteoric rise of Akemi Nekomachi, a shorts specialist malechuuba that reached 2M subs this past week

The Mating Press's motto is, "Every news worth rratting about." Doxxes are not worth rratting about. Thus, they are not discussed. That is also why we generally ban discussion of dramatubers: If they discuss something /news/worthy, we can discuss that news, not the dramatuber.

PokoPeaLand, a VR world made by Ponpoko and Peanuts-kun is having their 1st anniversary, and several updates are planned for this occasion

Sports News: >>72112892
Coni of Idol currently leads the West Series
Siu of Specialite leads the East Series
Races continue tomorrow at 3p ET.

>>72111623
Just wait, looks like Idol is about to boot Pochi, various tweets from talents all cancelling streams and all mentioning similar issues with similar wording.
Shit is about to go down.
Place bets on how vitriol-filled the termination notice will be. Can Aviel out-wild the Riro notice?
FIND OUT SOON™

>>72111985
Just because the catalog is moving a mile a minute doesn't mean that there is constant new news. Most of the threads are phase bait threads being made unicorns and nijisisters.

>>72107178
was this a bit
sounds like a bit

>>72113970
If it's a termination. It'll likely be at 3 PM EST, which is 34 minutes from now.

>>72116854
KILL

This seems like the next best thread to ask this in, is there any kind of official way to reach out to Holo outside of the contact form submission on their website? I have something I want to send to one of the girls but the Q/A says to ask them first if it's anything other than just a fan letter but doesn't give a way to DO that.

>>72118310
Contact Form is the only way that I'm aware of.

>>72118401
Dang, ok. Do any of you know what the response rate is for form submissions? I sent one in late last evening and haven't heard anything back, but given how massive Holo is I'd assume they probably get swamped with nonsense.

>>72118652
Well for one thing it's the weekend. I doubt many ordinary staff members are working.

>>72118800
Ah hell it is the weekend isn't it? I keep forgetting with how my work goes that people actually have normal working schedules.

>>72092828
I can see that happening like male meowba before people realized she got kids to carve her name into their skin

>>72118310
You could try DM’ing one of their chat jannies. Usually a janny organizes somestuff and they will handle that for you

>>72118310
>but doesn't give a way to DO that
Traditionally, absent a distinct fanmail address, you could send a letter to the VTuber "in care of" the company, at the company's address, which basically asks the company to forward the letter to the VTuber. Though, given Hololive's size, I'm not sure how feasible that is or whether they would honor that request.

Sports News:
Onolumi retains her CoC Queen title in a defense against Fuyo Cloverfield. Cloverfield was forced to give up her Chosen Champion title belt to get this title shot, so said title is now vacated.
Clash of Chuubas will return in April for what it claims is its last episode.

>>72113970
I bet 5 (you)s that idol termination notice for pochi is no longer than approximately 2 paragraphs worth of text and contains only minor details. I continue to believe that Idol, while hiring retards, is not a black company.

>>72120980
Sports News:
CoCOP also is a faggot because the Chosen Belt is supposed to go over to the one that wins the match but he has changed the rules because he fears that Onolumi might truly sweep all titles for herself as she once before already held 3 titles at once.

>>72120421
I see, I'm usually more of a Twitch viewer so I know what a janny on that site looks like. Do Youtube jannies have any sort of identifiable signifier next to their names that makes it easy to spot one?

>>72120980
>Fuyo Cloverfield
who dis
also here is the sport anchor >>72091996

>>72121404
I can only hope so, for both of their sakes.
If Aviel goes full-retard he has a very fucking high chance of irreversibly damaging Idol. It will make Riro look like childsplay.
It won't be Doki bad, but it will still be close enough to fuck them hard.
Pochi seems quite happy to post evidence of her claims, she already did. While she did say she wants to move on, I guess it depends how retarded Aviel wants to be in the notice.
He's already had 3 other talents voice their gripes and 2 of them just deleted the tweets saying that was the reason for cancelling streams just there. Honestly, I'm thinking a few might leave this time for real.

>>72091609
>shangri la
what does this mean

>>72121766
Check her birthday stream, there should be a section where she reviews stuff made by fans. Kudoboard, fan collage, specific oshi-themed games. Usually whoever is the owner of a kudoboard is the janny who organizes projects and you might be able to find them in an unofficial holo fancord. Or if that’s too much trouble just contact the holo p.o. Box

>>72121766
Wait I almost forgot, it might be better to wait for a meet and greet at some convention to give what you want to the talent. Cover staff should accept it in person for you after you show it to your oshi on the giant ipad.

>>72122122
Those tweets were vague enough to possibly be interpreted as pro idol and solidarity with idol or anti-idol. Idk what to think about them. Sounds to me that this is a hint that termination notice will drop today and they are cushioning the blow by prepping us

>>72122142
An impregnable fortress of ice on land.

>>72091996
Some birthdays:

March 28th - Cyphi
March 31st - Nina Saotome
April 2nd - Honey Goblin

>>72122142
Newspapers usually have the city they're based in in the front page. Since this one isn't centralised, I put our base of operation in Shangri La, a famous fictional place.

>>72122142
Shangri la is the asian version of hyperborea

>>72122396
The only reason I can think for those retractions is they were shown info relating to Pochi, or told outright to remove them.
But why Fuyo hasn't undone her tweet is the real question. That seems pretty worrying on its own.
It's a shit situation for everyone. I wish them all the best.
I hope they do what is right for them.

>>72122254
Unfortunately it looks like the only con that will be happening anywhere close to be will be happening basically next week, which is WAY too short a timeline to organize everything I'd need.

>>72122180
This is probably going to be closer to what I'll need to do to have a chance. Thanks anon.

>>72122725
It’s possible poko deleted hers because she’s an esl who just came back from break and didn’t realize what she was walking into or she thought he tweet sounded too lazy or too anti idol. Juna and fuyo might have been approved as tweets or maybe they are siding with pochi.
It’s possible we might see pochi, juna, fuyo on one side and then katta, coni, nikki on the other side. With poko as out of the loop

I'm gonna miss Prism Project...

>>72122939
If Fuyo and Juna do, Yuko might just piss off as well. She's clearly not been happy with negotiations and if things actually are as bad as they might be, that might push her over the edge as well.
It's a whole big ass mess. I was really hoping this was all solved back when people started to come back to streaming, but clearly it wasn't all sorted out.

up!

>>72092356
I don't think I've seen a stock post with that many likes posted before.

>Rana Ianna Ch. [VReverie] Final Stream (GRADUATION)
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efqj4W2X6Mk

>>72127326
Did she re-activate a PL the way BriAtCookiebox (Cheri) or Lida Oriana (Akiko) did, or is she retiring for good?

Also what the fuck did VReverie do to lose all but one of it's talents? Surely there's some insight on this somewhere by now.

>>72129397
Based on what little the PLs have said about it, sounds like yet another case of "Corpo couldn't justify their cut" by way of the usual incompetent/absent management.
You'd think that people would learn that running a company requires you to actually run the company.

>>72129397
amaya whisper afaik, active on twitter and yt with streams scheduled, but that's second or third hand info

>>72129557
It's at least that, but BriAtCookiebox describes them as "abusive and disgusting", so I suspect there's something beyond simple negligence going on, but I've no idea what.

>>72130190
also, if that's right, she'll be live in 1.5 hours on youtube which is a smart play

What is going on with Phase right now, they are talking about someone being blacked or something

>>72127326

>>72101090
I mean tbf if the rrat is being that widely accepted than it's a pretty good rrat and worth discussing.

>>72132190
The information doesn't change anything about the streamer's circumstances, how they stream, or how people percieve them as a performer. It's just unimportant information being touted around like it's a rare market commodity.
If you cared about the information before, you'd already have it, so anybody that claims to care about it now is just falseflagging to feel more important than they are.

>>72091790
>The Age Of The Indie Has Begun In The West
Vtubers around the industry and community are now starting to realize that going indie is way better than joining some corpo(unless it's Hololive/Holostars). Small corpo's from across the board have shut down and the remaining ones are struggling to stay alive. With Nijisanji showing the darker aspects of the industry, has left many fans and Vtubers questioning the validity, justification, and benefits of joining a corporation. Vshojo isn't painting the industry in a positive light either, as its nepotism only allows people they know to join. Hololive maintains its reputation as a shining beacon of what a large Vtuber corporation is, has proven hard to join as a Vtuber, requiring peak attention, skills, and performance. Dokibird's advice and insider information not only on joining corporations but more importantly on going indie may have sparked a newfound interest in investing and becoming independent. With many Vtubers quitting their corporation and becoming indie, the most notable example being Dokibird, has made a potential shift in the Vtuber industry and community. This shift has the potential to influence the Vtuber industry and community. Dokibird giving advice and insider information for not only joining a corporation but most importantly being an indie may have sparked a newfound interest in investing and becoming an independent. But this shift is not solely because of Dokibird but a combination of problems, issues, and factors within the industry and community. Maybe I’m wrong, but as the saying goes: Only time will tell.

>>72132762
I'm not reading that

>>72132840
No one asked you to

>>72131886
I guess the taboo as far as PL posting and etc. with regards to Vtubing careers has now been permanently broken and it doesn't really seem like corpos have a response to prevent this despite after the Selen incident, for better or worse. Talents don't seem intent on breaking it but it seems like mods are willing to risk whatever relationship with the corpo to do it. Not sure if corpos are going to try and respond against it or not somehow but I guess this is the new normal for now.

It’s cool that this kind of thing is a thread now and it’s organised the way it is, I’ve been wanting something like this for ages. Keep up the good work news anons.

Pochi graduated as expected
https://twitter.com/idol_corp/status/1771688662322880818
https://twitter.com/fenriruvt/status/1771688458479612062

Here it is, folks!

>>72091790
Some Rrats regarding the Pochi situation, but first some basic info:
1. Pochi in her pl before joining Idol pulled a loot and scoot by doing a donothon where she proceeded to not do her donothon goals
2. Pochi got a redebut and did a 2nd donothon in December to raise funds for moving to California, despite the fact that her HE(Genesis) senpais hadn't yet gotten redebuts or 2nd donothons yet.
3. Pochi said that she put her graduation notice in January for "unrelated" reasons to her recent donothon, of which she did not list.
4. We now know her recent hiatus was due to her being in negotiations with Idol over her receiving funds from her donothon, and has also admitted that she has not been working on her donothon goals during this hiatus.
5. She then admitted to ghosting Idol after being unable to come to an agreement.

This obviously doesn't cover everything, but the most painfully obvious rrat here is that she is trying to loot and scoot once again, which Idol is desperately trying to prevent, since if she takes the money and leaves without doing her donathon goals, Idol will have to refund the donothon donations like they did for Riro, which would mean over 40k dollars out of Idol's pockets. That's another 40k dollars that Pochi could potentially get if her biggest whales were to follow her to her pl.
However Idol being wary of this has deliberately withheld most of the donothon money from her (She has already apparently received over 10k according to the (likely)NDA breaking screenshots she leaked).
After ghosting Idol after being unable to come to an agreement, she then posted the documents on her pl(which she has now deleted) in which she told us all of this, perhaps expecting to ride the wave of anti-corpo sentiment that Dokibird has unleashed. However it seems that public sentiment isn't on her side as much as she hoped, and as such took down her posts to try and damage control.
It's also likely she'll be terminated due to those potentially NDA-breaking screenshots she posted.

>>72135880
>>72135988
Phrasing on the greaduation notice seems to agree with you. only paying the rest over after refunds .

[Important Notice regarding the graduation of Pochi Wanmaru]

Dear Fans,

With respect and consideration for her wishes, Pochi Wanmaru from idolEN first generation will be graduating from idol, effective March 23nd [sic], 2024. This decision comes directly from Pochi, and we support her in taking the next steps on her journey. Pochi will also not be performing a graduation stream at her request.

Additionally, we want to inform you about refunds for the second donothon event. Following discussions, and considering Pochi's mental health concerns, she is unable to fulfill the goals associated with this event. Therefore, we've decided to issue refunds to all fans who request one by April 10th, 2024. For those who do not request a refund by this deadline, the contributions will go to Pochi as initially intended. We will be providing information on how to request a refund through our Discord server.

We recognize that recent misunderstandings and allegations concerning payments have arisen. We want to clarify that there have been no changes to our policies, and we have consistently paid all talents promptly, including earnings from donothons. We addressed these misunderstandings directly with Pochi and reached a mutual agreement. We apologize for any confusion this situation may have caused. We acknowledge the specific concerns regarding donothon payment and can confirm that, after a thorough review with Pochi, any misunderstandings have been fully resolved.

Pochi has been a valued member of our idol English branch since its foundation. We recognize her contributions and wish her success in her future endeavors.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

idol Team

kek, multiple idol talents canceling streams and complaining about internal issues, only for some to suddenly delete message and walk things back.

>>72135988
>However it seems that public sentiment isn't on her side as much as she hoped, and as such took down her posts to try and damage control.
I disagree. I think she was directed to remove it, either by her lawyer or by an idol lawyer. To try to get a sense of what "public sentiment" was, I watched FalseEyeD's video and read the YouTube comments. His video was a mix of neutral and pro-Pochi. The comments were a mix of pro-Pochi/anti-idol and hoping that idol wasn't actually that bad. Based on this, it seems that public sentiment was--or would have been--on her side to a good extent, even if she didn't have the popularity of Doki.

Hard to say. No telling what's going on behind the scenes.

>>72136446
And here's her statement:

[Update]

Hello everyone,

My agency and I recently held productive discussions, and we were able to reach a mutually agreeable resolution regarding both the Donothon event and my graduation. It's clear now that there were misunderstandings, and we want to learn and grow from this experience. I recognize that my previous posts may have been rushed, and we failed to communicate our sides to each other effectively. The previous document I have posted does not reflect our agreement, and we have since clarified and solved our issues. Please refrain from using those statements against them. Let us not perpetuate harm and instead move on from this.

I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given, and the fans that have been with me along the way. I cherish the moments we've created together during my time there, and I want to sincerely apologize for any confusion or concern this situation may have caused.

Donothon earnings that are not refunded will be offered to me to help with my recent move and my future journey. Let's aim to push ahead with a positive mindset from here. I am glad Idol worked with me resolve this matter. I extend my best wishes and hope for their success in the future.

Fen

>>72137253
And this is absolutely >>72091790
The entirety of the idol statement and most of Fen's statement were written with straight quotes. However, the apostrophe in "we've" in the second substantive paragraph is a smart quote. Given this, it is likely that idol sent Pochi/Fen a pre-written statement for her to lightly alter to fit her style. Unfortunately, she did not learn from the Selen skinwalking incident and didn't match the smart/dumb quotes.

>>72135877
>>72135880
>>72136446
Reasonable response. Didn't try to burry her face in the dirt, so kudos on Idol not simply rushing to prove it's a black company.

>we have consistently paid all talents promptly, including earnings from donothons.
This might be a lie, though under the circumstances and history (>>72135988) I wouldn't blame them for being slow about these particular payments.

Much better than their response to Riro. Not that they didn't have to get rid of her, but publicly airing a sex scandal is a black mark on their record.

>>72137507
Yes, the Zaion/Selen/Riro model of listing every bad thing you can imagine about an ex-employee--even if true, as seems to be the case for Riro--must be thoroughly discredited by this point.
As to "we have consistently paid all talents promptly, including earnings from donothons", this follows from Aviel's statement which came out a few hours before Fen's now-deleted NotStarbucks statement.

>>72136761
I'm guessing his video only goes over Pochi's document? Without full context I can see people being pro-Pochi, but over in /jidf/ people were quick to turn on her after learning about what she did on her pl. Even her biggest whale posted something in the discord that suggested he wasn't on her side.
I also doubt that Pochi had a lawyer since her pl posts were very clearly not made by a lawyer.
All I know now is that something regarding this situation caused her to get back in contact with Idol and resolve the issue in a surprisingly amicable way.

>>72136761
>guy portrays her positively
>comments are positive
Who wouda thunk.
The previous anon said that Pochi took down because
>public sentiment isn't on her side
and the only public that existed at the time who cared enough to discuss it was /here/ at /news/, /jidf/, and catalog bait threads. The dramatubers released their exposes late to the scene after she had already taken it down.
Purple John Oliver specifically is part of mythic who is a very hands off agency and he loves vshojo and talent freedom so he will always side with whatever looks best for talent freedom and his audience believes that too. Talent freedom is their primary influencer.
For us, our primary influence are Pochi's fans and customers from /jidf/ or ex-fans in this case and their rage at her constantly ghosting them and double donothons without completing her previous goals that she was paid to do. /vt/ in general loves hololive's women are only good when they are controlled in what they can say or do type of philosophy. So when we see a woman acting like a lazy out of control scammer who is trying to run with the money, we tend to side with the company.
Again the public is divided between talent freedom and idol culture. It's disingenuous to claim that only one side exists and the other doesn't when both sides are prominent.

>>72135988
>2nd donothons yet
HE girls haven't even gotten first donothons yet.

>>72138087
He went over Fen's NotStarbucks statement and Aviel's statement from the idol Web-site (which had been released a few hours earlier and mentioned donothon pay). I don't think that the entire world revolves around him, but I do think that, if other dramatubers picked up his line, and similarly, other people on Twitter picked up their collective wisdom (without investigating further), she really could have had a strong public coalition in her support. Part of the reason why I think that it was lawyer-driven is that it happened so quickly--public sentiment would take a little longer to percolate than rrats on /jidf/ and /news/, no? Another item in my favor is my rrat >72137465 (me) which states that Fen's statement was totally written by idol and slightly rewritten by Fen afterwards. If they're still in contact afterwards, then what's to say that idol lawyers didn't tell Fen to take down the NotStarbucks statement?

>>72138238
Good to know, I had assumed that they did based on what they've done since E-sekai.

>>72091790
New Pochi Rrat:
Pochi got back into contact with Idol because of her mom visiting her and talking some sense into her.
My evidence? None, aside from knowing about her mom visiting her.

>>72139085
bigger rat, her jewish grandmother is the real ceo

>>72138638
>a strong public coalition in her support
How many of those slactivists will stick around to watch and donate to her as an indie and for how long? Two months? One month? A week? A day?
Again she's not dokibird so I don't expect any conversion from drama tourist to loyal paying fan for her but at the very least superficial public support will give her one perk
>her fellow indies will be more likely to collab with her and less likely to ditch her if Pochi has at least some public approval
even if her old fans hate her, so at least she will still have streamer friends
that's the one advantage of some public support and it is weak support and composed of only 1 group (the talent freedom lovers) so it is not a coalition(2 or more groups) it is some support from 1 group

>>72139287
I don't think that her "widespread" (Twitter) public support would sustain her as an indie, although it could (as in Doki's case) introduce her to new people who would support her as an indie. The main value of the "Twitter mob" (for lack of a better term) is to use as pre-graduation leverage against idol--you've already had a Riro, you don't want a Selen now, right? As for the coalition, I feel like there is now a nacent--and maybe not long-lasting--cadre of "anti-corpo" indies. (Of course, they will go back to licking corpo boot if they ever need a collab or a graduation-and-reincarnation, but that's obvious.)

>>72140038
Oh right I forgot about leverage against idol and the anti-corpo indies or "seething femanons" as they are known around these parts.

>>72132762
I've a less optimistic version of that rrat. Namely that these vtuber black employment incidents, coupled with increasingly common other forms of overseas remote employment, are going to highlight a fundamental incompatibility between eastern and western culture and work ethics, which may lead to serious trade issues.

I don't think it'll happen, or at least won't be vtubing's fault, until we have a fatality, be it a successful suicide or a murder as a result of one of these black companies or their crazed fans. But once that happens and all this hits prime time news, we're likely going to see some serious regulations and trade policy changes as a result, that may affect everything, from vtubers to anime itself, quite unpredictably. It could affect platforms as well as players. For instance, Youtube could be blamed for the death, Section 230, which is already in danger, could get axed, which would end Youtube and Twitch, as well as any other platform where the general public can upload videos.

So maybe not the beginning of the western age of indie vtubing, so much as the beginning of the end of vtubing in the west.

Best way to avoid all that is to shut the black companies down hard enough to ensure better behavior from the remaining ones. Idol's reluctance to slaughter Pochi's reputation is a step in the right direction. (Even if she might have deserved it.)

>>72137677
Gods I sure as fuck hope so... I was under the impression that she was complaining about not receiving payments though, and maybe others were as well.

>>72140702
I don't see it. Even if one of the largest streamers like asmongold or xqc had some really explosive dispute or even a suicide it wouldn't get mainstream news. There's just no hook for boomers.

>>72141006
The hook is the corpo--if Selen was American and succeeded, then a Japanese company with their annie-maes would cause (because of Japanese business practices) an American to die. I can hear Lindsey Graham complaining about it now--it just hasn't happened yet. With indies I doubt it would matter, though.

>>72141006
This, even if things got that bad the industry and community will still live on albeit with scars and stigma. Other similar industries have been through way worse and they still exist.

>>72141166
Even with indies, a juicy enough murder story could easily make the rounds of the nightly news, bringing a scrutinizing eye on vtubing as a whole.

Though I think that's somewhat less likely than a successful suicide. It would have to be a big western vtuber, yes, as celebrity suicide in Asia is barely a blip, even in Asia. We had that couple that murdered a small time vtuber in Japan, and folks hardly noticed, whereas that story would have been blown the fuck out of if it happened in America, maybe resulting in one of those stupid Halmark movies. (Though in that instance the vtubing aspect was only incidental.)

>>72091790
Hello there, /lig/ correspondent with some updates from various news topics in the large indies sphere.

>Bao is currently in the process of being canceled on twitter by a bunch of bloodthirsty vtweeters who are very upset about her turning the "baoberry"/"big one", meme that spawned from /lig/ and wormed its way into her community into a toggle on her model as well as making a gag song about inflation fetishes to go with it, declaring her guilty of fatshaming. She isnt the only target as said mob also has started going after Kenji, a male vtuber know for gag models including one that's modeled after the fat WoW player in the world of warcraft south park episode. Neither party has made a statement, likely because the people chasing them over it will run out of breath soon.
>Dokibird announced that she will be part of Twitch Rival's Apex Legends Trios Tournament, a contest with a $50,000 grand prize. One of her confirmed partners is NiceWigg, a familiar name to the Dragoon fanbase.
>In the recent wave of Twitch Indies getting partnered by twitch, PiaPi, the small vtuber who notably teamed up with Dokibird and Shylily on their twitch rivals Palworld team, received her partnership acceptance. Having been vtubing at this point for over 3 years, it was a long road to acceptance and a feel good story for a long time vtuber.
>Vei was announced as a member in OTK's Sworn invitational, featuring her boyfriend Sodapoppin.
>Grimmi raised some eyebrows yesterday as she dropped out of the large Filian Date night collab and then streamed over said collab to do a sponsorship stream instead. While most feel she likely double booked, a vocal minority theorized by some her talent management company MSM Talent had her drop from the event, either due to the sponsor being last minute or the main sponsor of the filian stream being fansly.

That's all I have for you now.

>>72142172
>Bao is currently in the process of being canceled on twitter
Again... Sometimes getting canceled on Twitter is dangerous, but not in this instance. No one who watches Bao has issue with the Boaberry. She knows Twitter is a "hellsite" so she'll be alright. Doubt Kenji will be much affected either.

If you're trying to send them a game/fan merch/actual gifts/etc., you're gonna have a hard, if not impossible time. Outside of putting in a request with Cover for permission (if it's an art book or something), they flat out won't accept gifts for talents anymore. And you can blame the creeps who sent the girls gifts with air tags in them for that.

Managers or someone at Cover inspects everything as well. (Shinri I believe mentioned that they also black out names/mailing addresses so no one is doxxed, though Twitter/YouTube handles are left alone.)

>>72140702
I wonder if Cover USA will shift HoloEN over to its own management, and if so how Western-sympathetic those managers will be.
Do we know if Cover USA is simply a base for commodity (merch) handling or will they be managing EN in North America?

>>72147036

>captcha

>>72146135
Not sure what an air tag is, but for context I am basically planning on making Pathfinder 1e Bestiary sheets like the one you see here that I made for indie Onigiri. Given that it's a single page and not filled with any personal or (I'd like to think) inappropriate information, I would hope that this sort of thing would fall under the realm of an acceptable submission.

BUT with that being said, I'd also like to not waste my time, money, at resources by physically shipping them to Holo HQ only for them to go "oh what is this? Not a traditional fan letter?! Toss it!" if I can help it. That's why I'm trolling around trying to get as much info about it as possible to try and boost my odds.

>>72147659
An air tag is a tracking device https://www.apple.com/airtag/

I mean, it’s not like I had the idea that’s the exact same as what this general is. I always just lurked /#/‘s and thought it would be good if there was something else for news, but then news anon appeared. Also I wasn’t even sure if it was something people would get behind, board culture changes.
I’m just saying it’s cool this exists now, is all. I certainly couldn’t have organised it the way it is.

>>72148093
I see, makes sense why they got shy about them. Thankfully, as mentioned, my stuff is basically a single page for each girl, so that should make it less like the "presents" they no longer pass out.

>>72147659
Oh hey, you're the PF1E autist. Small fan.
I'd suggest actually putting in an app with HoloIndie (if you're interested in making a Holo supplement or something), or just posting your shit to Twitter under fanart tags, and seeing if it catches traction. TTRPG stuff really isn't well-covered in vtubing because most vtubers are either hyper-autistic 2-views or only talk about D&D, with very few exceptions, so even if you do show your stuff, it's probably gonna get ignored.
Still, one TTRPG autist to another, you should still shoot your shot. You never know, and it's better to try and get rejected than to not bother.

>>72142172
Thanks /lig/ anchor!

>>72132840
My guess is
Corporate bad now

>>72149895
Not even close.

>>72147659
You'd think her (ex) would have something to do with cooking.

>>72149871
That's my thinking as well, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? That said, looking through the HoloIndie page it feels like even if I wanted to submit an application it's more like it's meant to be used in conjunction with video games more than other types of content. After all, wasn't the whole thing basically made with Holocure in mind?

>>72151037
As the above anon mentioned, I'm a bit of an autist when it comes to PF rules, and unfortunately the game just really doesn't have much to do with cooking, so the best I could do was a high Craft: Culinary skill check. There's also the point that in her lore video there's a whole segment about how by day she runs a restaurant but at night she's still the leader of a criminal organization, which is why I chose that Rogue Talent over any of the other ones.

>>72151037
NTA but it makes more sense for her to have some form of connections. Giri's been pushing her aesthetic and lore towards the sort of "Mafia Queen/Princess" angle, with the Oni serving as her enforcers. OniMart in lore seems more like a front now, and the cooking just something to do in her off time. Remember, Giri's actually not that good at cooking, so her having a cooking skill would proably be closer to "Iron Stomach" than "High Cooking Skill"

>>72151328
>it's more like it's meant to be used in conjunction with video games
Yeah, that's the rub, ain't it? Like I said, TTRPG stuff isn't really well accounted for. I've thought about putting in a pitch myself a couple of times, but I'd rather keep doing hobbyist stuff where I can use a lot of different vtubers, rather than being constrainted to Hololive for a release. Besides, TTRPGs are hard enough to monetize WITHOUT getting vtuber chocolate in your dicetism peanut butter.

>>72132840
>>72149895
>The Age Of The Indie Has Begun In The West. Corporations are shutting down due to the darker sides of the industry. Going indie instead is way better. Hololive/Holostars show the perks of going indie while Vshojo displays nepotism. Advice given by Dokibird for going indie might spark interest in investing and being independent. Problematic behaviour by corporations, combined with other factors, has the potential to influence the Vtuber industry and community further toward going indie. Only time will tell whether this trend continues.

I do this purely out of my own personal investment in combining both of my hobbies despite the difficulties involved, even if there's a decided lack of equivalent investment from my objects of interest. Besides, even if I WERE to submit an application, so long as I'm looking to have it released for free I don't think there's anything they could do to try and force me to ONLY made content for just them.

According to idol corp discord users, Aviel has had to refund 11k and 10k respectively to the two biggest whales who donated to Pochi’s second donothon after both demanded refunds. Apparently the 10k donator goes by James. Not even counting having to refund Youtube’s cut, this is a cut for the company. Refunding 21k out of 40k would make anyone wince. And that’s not counting her smaller fans who also donated and might have asked for refunds. I have yet to see proof of this but their threads are treating this as fact.

>>72151846
Isn't she going to quite a few other cons too?

what was hex thinking

>>72178843
it's an unfunny deadpan joke that /vt/ and r*ddit autists take literally because they are incapable of understanding humor or sarcasm

>>72178921
idk the delivery was absolutely raped if it was a joke. i think you have to have a broken funny bone to laugh at this one, not the other way around. it was pretty sociopathic imo, but i guess thats appropriate for someone in his line of work

>>72179007
yes it's a shitty joke and Hex is an unfunny homo, i don't get why this is news except dramawhores trying to force it.

>>72179007
>if it was a joke
think it funny or not but it is objectively a joke

>>72178525
>>72091848
Seeing all those graduation notices together like this just hits hard. March has been black or rather, kuro.

>>72178843
QRD?

>>72179078
It's notable because he threw Zaion under the bus for her joke

>>72179234
i guess that's true. i still think there is a gulf between joking about a hypothetical of using your friend's dead grandmother's ashes as fertilizer and joking about why an onscreen rape victim (though fictional) was raped because she's hot, but admittedly both are shitty fictional jokes so he is kind of a hypocrite here.
does not surprise me though, Hex comes across as a scumbag (having people trauma dump to him, LARPing as a therapist or whatever, the dildo prop, shitting on Zaion, RTing/supporting the BSS, etc)

Today's news roundup from /数字/

>>72179078
unironically is there a better dramawhore general i should post this to?
>>72179218
vanta asked hex for some social advice on a semi sensitive situation and hex proceeded to tell a very dead pan unhinged story about taking his friend's grandpa's ashes and fucking with them and destroying them for fun and then calling the friend sensitive for being upset. it left vanta flabbergasted and silent for a long time. it was very hard for me to watch, how incredibly awkward it was. wouldnt be surprised if a twitter apology comes out.

first time checking this thread and wow it's great, comprehensive and the newspaper edits are great
thanks for the thread

bump

So does anyone else feel like it's true that the NijiEN clique is setting long term goals on reconvening over at Vshojo and likely trying to take it over? Sayu admitting Matara and Kuro would veto her joining tells me everything I need to know on that matter, personally. Especially when she's cool with the OG members. I feel like Elira and Enna's setting up for everyone else to go there first then leaving Kuro, abusing their exit queue to drag it out enough it isn't too apparent.

>>72182135
>Sayu admitting Matara and Kuro would veto her joining tells me everything I need to know on that matter
That she's a drama whore and most people don't like her?

>>72182135
>>72183299
Take this to the catalog

>>72182135
Honestly I think it's a load of bullshit. While I think Matara and Kuro want to help those they were friends with, I think Gunrun and the members probably don't want to have that "Nijisanji Retirement Home" reputation on them. This is before we even factor in the Elira Stream and how that made the big 3 practically radioactive.

>>72091635
Small correction/update, Kiki's 3d debut has been delayed by 1 day due to jetlag and prep etc. Waiting room is up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=746ddNe1xWU
https://twitter.com/bunnyonvt/status/1771937572811411932

>>72182135
I think there’s a big difference between the “victims” (as seen to the public) of Mata and Kuro, and the perpetrators (Elira and Enna), in terms of joining VShojo. VShojo has always been very clique-ish, but even now it doesn’t have the poaching-only or retirement-home label—at least for now. The whole situation has caused the major NijiEN clique to break into a few ones (including in that ex-NijiEN and NijiEN friends), so being hated by some doesn’t mean universal ostracism. See how VShojo members have reacted to Doki, for example, and Kiara’s recent meet-up with the big baddies of the clique. In any case, until VShojo has another talent join (unless it’s Kuro’s GF) or NijiEN has another graduation/termination, this is all just a bunch of rrats and not /news/.

Akiko Sushi's mods also spammed her indie account at the end of her graduation

>>72189738
I hate this shit. No, the talent don't deserve to lose their fanbase just because the corpo is a pile of dicks, but it sets too much of a precedent that leans in favor of the "cultivate fanbase in corpo -> dip" that people theorized would eventually become the meta back when Coco and Aloe managed to hold on to a lot of their fans through a reincarnation. That isn't to say that we've reached the point where that's the main goal, but corpos need to start putting mods on payroll and under NDA, or shit like this is going to keep happening.

>>72189738
which also pushed her over 5k subs

>>72190208
>corpos need to start putting mods on payroll and under NDA
How about they actually try to make a good company first?

>>72190208
I fail to see the issue even if that does come to pass. Isn't it the corp's job to make staying on board worthwhile?

>>72190405
Oh, absolutely do that, but there's always going to be bad actors that slip through.

>>72190512
But will there? I feel like the only examples of this happening is when the company completely falls apart

>>72190647
Companies that don't filter their applicants don't tend to last long anyway, but I will freely admit this is largely a slippery slope argument borne of seeing people too willing to side with the talent over the corpo, regardless of nuance.

>>72190510
i was about to post this but it should be added they also need to disincentivize leaving. NDA's, non-competes, fees etc. both the carrot and the stick is important. they shouldn't be insane fees like that one korean corpo but there must be some healthy middle ground where both parties protect their interests.

>>72186903

>>Bao is currently in the process of being canceled on twitter by a bunch of bloodthirsty vtweeters who are very upset about her turning the "baoberry"/"big one", meme that spawned from /lig/
Correction on this, /lig/correspondent from your friendly /ag/ and /vtai/ correspondent: the original baoberry AI image originated on /bbwchan/'s /bbwai/ board and made it's way onto /vtai/. I would not say that /lig/ spawned that meme as much as /vtai/ and /bbwai/ did as they were the true proprietors of the image.

>>72173188

yes, all women are whores, but some absolutely at least understand men hate women acting like whores, and others dont, is my point.

Selen’s mods going into open revolt and spamming her remaining streams with Dokibird links was just way more relevant than anybody gave it credit for at the time. For once, mods weren’t faggots.

In the end there’s lots of reasons to separate the chuuba from her roommate while she’s working, but it’s clear that once she’s out keeping the taboo up only benefits the corpo.
