>removed the hottest, latest news just because the source is branded as """"""drama"""""""

And you fuckers wonder why no one wanted to bring news anymore. If /news/ could not encapsulate every happenings in the board, even the immediately deleted ones, then what even is its purpose?

>>72472391
>Removed the hottest, latest news because the source is branded as "drama"
No news was removed. If you're referring to Serafi's contract, it WAS covered, extensively, but only after some anons had actually reviewed the document itself and the stream where Legal Mindset read over it. There's no point in covering fragmented claims about the contract that people are shitposting with out of context.
>removed rrats
See above. Schizo ramblings aren't news.
>removed kuro
/kuro/ wasn't removed, it was reframed. Any actual black company is going to be making news out of how black they are, and anybody that wants to expose a black company is free to do investigations and post findings. There's a difference between posting a narrative and actual fact finding.
Thanks for the bump, though.

Still not an original song, for the love of god. It’s a collab/feature for fake type just as Chloe and pmaru did. Not a song that belongs to Marine or Hololive.
You know what’s newer and hasn’t been featured? KOBO’s new song, made by natori, which IS an original song.

I guess if anyone, anyone was going to skinwalk (again) and get away with it ever, it would be her.

Not really breaking news so I won't anchor it but interesting to hear that Flare still wears that couple ring she got with Noel after all these years, even though the whole NoeFure shtick has mostly died down these days.

>>72499023
>>72498610
It sounds like they might be trying to make an actual AI voice out of Kizuna using Nozomi's voice as the basis of the model.
I could be reading too hard into a machine translation, though.

Nexas is a black company because debuting 28 vtubers and getting 27 of them to donate and chat the 1 who is currently on screen is a decade-long youtube scam.
The scam works like this
>advertise a class to make it big on youtube
>retards buy in
>hype up the retards
>get them to like, and subscribe and promote each other
>do this thousands of times
>eventually one of the tards makes it big and it’s proof the program works
>99% of tards end up paying each other or the company and end up losing money and wasting time. It’s worse than free labor, they pay the company to work.
Nexas is doing the same thing but with vtubing. They are also shilling everywhere including /here/
This is not a rrat because the scam is well known and documented as a youtube mlm-related scheme

>>72504918

>See above. Schizo ramblings aren't news.
No. Rrats are rrats. And have a place in the news. They are commentary and speculation on currently happening news. They are news related.
This is just a bad take.

>>72515253 (me)

>>72473650
To add to my previous points, rrats are just the type of commentary and talking points that you see on Sports talk radio, where you have people who are familar with the sport and how it operates commenting and speculating on incomplete information to draw conclusions. rrats are the life blood of any good sports news organization because commentary and speculation will always take the place of news in a slow news cycle. And a lot of times that speculation can be right, but it can also be wrong. rrats aren't a inherently bad thing, and I think it is completely over the line to remove an anchor that has been in this thread since the beginning of it's organization.

>>72515253
NTA, but I for one would prefer /news/ NOT be a discussion thread, just purely news and news submissions. The rest of vt is already rrat central.

>>72515708
Nah, /news/ should be about news, and the discussion of current news. Correspondents can report the news, but there should be discussion otherwise the thread WILL die.

>>72464407
A bunch of news from PokoPea
>>72514959

>>72515794
NTA, I agree with you. But rrats should stay away from here.

>>72516423
Once again, rrats are opinion pieces, speculation, commentary, they are by definition part of the news.

>>72515794
it's not black and white. you're arguing from your own perspective without considering how low quality some discussions can get.

>>72516472
>rrats are opinion pieces, speculation, commentary
they aren't any of those things, they are false information believed as truth by shitposters and schizos.
The /vt/ definition is that, /the old /jp/ definition was a different thing.

>>72464517
Update to >>72512380
>>72516617

>>72517227
>they are false information believed as truth by shitposters and schizos.
How is this any different from an opinion piece?
Fundamentally, a rrat is just speculation cooked up from available information. There is no information backing it besides circumstantial evidence, which makes it a commentary, or speculation piece. Which in and of itself is still news.

>>72517335
>How is this any different from an opinion piece?
they are low quality and gossipy by nature, plus they lack or misinterpret the information.
an opinion is just that, an opinion.

>>72517335
No one's stopping you from posting your favorite rrat of the day. There's just no anchor for it.

Kinda wish there was, so as to keep the rrats and news separate, and I miss /kuro/'s constant warnings, but I trust in the smol-ame. Whatever keeps them keeping it alive.

>>72517627
Exactly, but an opinion piece is still considered part of the news, because they contextualize information in a certain way for the reader. It's there to put the crumbs together in a recognizable and coherent way. Opinions are formed from the news, rrats are opinions formed from the news, and therefore they are news in and of itself.

>>72517761
in news opinion pieces are generally labelled as such, they are also used to sway the reader towards a certain conclusion which is antithetical to good journalism, facts should speak for themselves with interpretation left solely to the reader

>>72518055
Again, Opinion piece contextualize the news. They are someone else's interpretation of the facts presented in news. rrats do the same thing. You are letting your own biases get in when you start saying that opinion pieces aren't part of the news. Contextualizing the news can be balanced, you just have to have two correspondents with two opposing interpretations of the same information.

RRAT OF THE DAY: >>72511862
NijiEN didn't record any new scenes for ARLIVE, simply recycling the old photage, thus Petra's airtime was seriously reduced because she had many scenes with Selen.

Fighting correspondent here, bringing news for /fig/

- The election results are in: by democratic decision, the thread will open up to beat em ups (temporarily). A new age of fig will begin. "Democracy is a mistake" chants can be heard along the thread, but statement agree this is social progress from /vg/'s ways to solving collective issues: Trial by combat in a FT10
- However nothing is expected to change since online gaming for HoloXbreak isnt even active. Effects of this reform in this thread will probably not be seen in until then, if all.
- The reform however is provisional: if Fightem ups conversation seems enough to spawn a new general, fig will split again, as it has technically split two times before (into /aus/- directly and into /jong/ - indirectly)
- Botan tournament THIS SATURDAY, come WATCH ALONG WITH US I PROMISE WE ARE COOL
- Shimada goes back to streets only to go back to tekken and her mood changes completely all in one stream.
- Juri anon seemingly has read "The Art of war" and applied it to his gameplan in street fighter 6: Come read his journal where he gives daily updates in his quest to be good enough not to have his ass kicked by several anime women from this thread.
- Dev anon continues to make strides in his game. Anons talk and suggest things about mooms big feet. Even deep frying it
- Cynthia tournament happened, Amaya, Sourin and Tomori had joined along with other notable jp /fig/gers. Team D won in the final against A. Naomi (D) got the first point against Tomori (A), then Erina tied for team A. The final and decisive duel was between Nyanpi and Betty, both well-known SF6 streamers dedicated to the game. Betty with Juri beat Nyanpi's Marisa and with that they became champions.
- Anon finally figures out why /fig/gers said coco was broken when she has fire ball motion pot busters and can chain command grab for free.
- Soul calibur test tournament will take place tomorrow at some point. 8 /fig/ related fighters will fight. Set up time and match time will be kept track in order to figure out how long everything will take for a real tournament, it will be very likely streamed in the divegrass cytube COME WATCH!!!


And that's all for the fighting news of the day: good night, good fight!

>>72518897

>>72520930
Uh, retraction then.

>>72518897
I think the problem with rrats (and with /rrat/) is that people discuss the rrats. I wouldn't mind reading opinion pieces or editorials (a.k.a. well-written rrats), it's just that discussion of rrats and discussion of old news drawn up out-of-context have historically been the two things most injurious to /news/.

Well, the old rrat anchor (not to be confused with Bae's general), had a "no debating rrats" rule on it. It was often ignored, of course, but I suppose the offending chains were fairly short.

There does have to be some discussion in general, I suppose, as the thread would die in short order, if it only contained actual news posts. (Seen it hit page ten like four times today alone.)

>>72521909
>(Seen it hit page ten like four times today alone.)
it's working as intended. at least some of us are intentionally not discussing but lurking and ready to bump

>>72521909
the main problem is that it lacks correspondents from different fanbases. I'm sure there are enough news to get the thread to 300 posts regularly, it's just people lazying around.

>>72522129
for example, I didn't see anything regarding Luna's 3D live, nor I saw anything from the new Sugar Rush MV by miComet.
and they are from hololive only.

>>72522122
I think this is a bad thing.

>>72522367
you've made that clear. you've just been repeating yourself for 10 posts. i think that's worse

>>72522122
Good to know... smole-ame put up the news roundup awfully early in the thread, so I assumed it was because they were going beddie bye. Was hoping the thread would still be alive when they woke up that they may update the scant roundup.

This is yet another in a long line of collaborations Jelly has had, providing lyrics, vocals, and composition work to songs that have been featured in multiple Eastern rhythm games such as Arcaea and Deemo

In similar news, VTuber Delutaya of the music group U22 also released a collaboration song with Japanese hardcore techno group Hardcore Tano*C (pronounced "Tanoshee"), working with members REDALiCE and DJ Myosuke to produce a new single that dropped a couple weeks ago

Can't say for certain but we do have some insight from our local JP watcher: >>72521614
"In Moshu vs Dtto I have no clear idea, they both put a lot of effort into it. Moshu has more experience but Dtto learns very quickly, so quickly that I think I'm taking a chance on her.
Day1 vs Nana, I have never seen Day1 so I have no opinion.
Towa vs Futon, unfortunately I think Futon.
Aki vs Salome, Salome without a doubt, I imagine her jumping a lot and putting red focus. As she plays classic Zangief her damage is brutal compared to all the sonic booms she can eat from Aki.
On the experts, they are all even and I don't follow them much. I like Naraka but her rival is very good. I hope Yuka does well, since it would be entertaining to see a model go over these streamers, and she is married to Fuudo so she has trained every day with a pro who lives in her house kek."

anyone here trying the new holoxbreak game

Huh, Salome is in the beginner's bracket? Was expecting her to be in the expert bracket as I heard that she has been praised by Daigo during CR cup

>>72530360
she's played a few times but she is still mostly a beginner technically. She's platinum on classic zangief so she'll still destroy aki based on just being better at fundies

From what I got from this that I believe we didn't know. (I'm on my phone so I apologize for any mistakes.)
>Luca jacked off when they were talking in VRChat
>His treatment and the stress caused from him gave her suicidal thoughts.
>Luxiem 3D would happen at Nijifes but would exclude him and Ike. They'd learn of this from a different liver and not management.
>Multiple female talents came to Luca due to Aster harassing them.
>A talent allegedly DM'd her and confirmed that it was indeed Aster.
>Said talent also said that Luca was harassing other talents.
>To her knowledge two relationships between livers happened.

This also includes stuff already mentioned like having to stuff like the Minecraft stuff.

If anyone wishes to correct or add to this feel free.

>>72535993 (Me)
Ffs, I ment to say this included stuff like the unpaid work and having to do his Minecraft stuff.
Also, while not significant here he also made several Homophobic/Transphobic comments and even harassed a trans coworker. That's enough phone posting from me now, sorry if it's messy.

Yes, and this is like the 100th thing she's put out that I'm sure Niji will just ignore.

She's begging for a defamation lawsuit though. If Niji folds, maybe he'll blame her and head over to Dakota to do that - assuming he has any money left.

>>72548331
so you're telling me she took all those screenshots recently and not years ago? im talking about still associating with him and acting as his confidant all the while collecting info on him

Yes, because she has the new discord color theme enabled. Good chance she searched for these things while writing, or saw their old conversations and then wrote about them.

This is one thread that at least summarizes what's happening in the world of vtubing without spinning it in some retarded fashion, if anything those posts getting deleted proves as such, cause they ain't getting deleted in the /nijiEN/ thread.

>>72554041
Sorry, but an ex of Luca's putting out a 72 page document, is DEFINATELY vtuber news.

That's like saying Trump's ex-wife or Biden's ex-girlfriend putting out a book on them isn't political news.

>>72554041
The document's existence and general accusations are news.
The deeper details of its contents, maybe not so much.
It's not black and white, which is why it's tough to say "no rrats or discussion", but we invite trouble by allowing those things to run around without clear lines in the sand.

Here's the summary of Raziel's doc:
Raziel Warmonic, alias Mizuchi, one of NijiEN liver Luca Kaneshiro's old mods, recently released a statement on Twitter about Luca (it is 72 pages long). Here is a summary of the allegations against Luca:
*Raziel knew Luca before he joined Niji; at that time, his name was Java.
*While playing VRChat in 2019, Java masturbated to Raziel's voice in her presence, after an extended period of non-sexual, non-romantic relationship between them; Java's mom then walked in on him.
*This continued into 2020, with Java engaging in "obsessive and possessive" behavior towards Raziel, primarily to prevent Raziel from interacting with other men on VRChat.
*Java also has a history of transphobic and homophobic comments. He admitted to Raziel that he misgendered a trans coworker, and is generally uncomfortable around gay men, feeling insulted when people would insinuate that he was gay.
**The main screenshots for this behavior date to 2019 (as Java), but this continued as Luca; he said "trans people make me uncomfortable" in 2023.
*He repeatedly lied to Raziel and a mutual friend, TrouserGravy, about his life and his activities as a streamer.
*When auditioning for NijiEN, he made two alt Twitter accounts to lie about the audition process.
*He got banned from a GTA V role-playing server for sexual harassment.
*In pre-debut preparations, Java (soon-to-be Luca) took advantage of Raziel, making her do most of the work and blaming her for not doing better.
**Raziel also reveals some of the things NijiEN livers are supposed to do on their own:
***Luca was provided with his model, but was expected to come up with a name.
***Luca came up with the lion mascot.
***Luca made his own introductory presentation, but asked Raziel to clean it up.
***Luca had Raziel commission (on his behalf) Luca's opening and closing animations.
***Luca didn't like the overlay he commissioned.
*During an early stream of Ring Fit Adventure, people in Luca's chat were making sexual comments. Raziel and Luca's other moderator encouraged them to stop and timed out certain people. A SuperChat made at the end of the stream asked why the moderators were banning people, and Luca said he would look into it. After Raziel assured Luca that no one was banned, Luca posted as much on Twitter. Despite this, Raziel and Luca were attacked, doxed, &c. Raziel wanted to speak with Luca and Luca's manager, but both refused to talk, and Luca told Raziel to simply not speak in the chat.
*Despite earlier statements to the contrary, Luca shifted to more "fujo-bait" and BFE content. This was because Luca was comparing himself (and his numbers) to the other Luxiem livers. Luca became more emotionally fragile at this point and repeatedly attacked Raziel for saying anything negative about his new content or focus, even as a joke.
*He used 4chan, allegedly because of Selen's influence. He would also ego-search, mainly on Twitter.
*He would often directly message fans and fan-artists on Twitter; he also lied about this to Raziel on numerous occasions.
*Luca frequently used a password-protected VRChat model of himself; while doing so, he revealed that he was actually Luca many times.
*Raziel said that Luca "has a habit of asking for forgiveness later instead of asking for permission."
*Luca often got into disagreements with other livers. He frequently spatted with Ike, arguing about timelines for mixing covers.
*Luca asked in the general Discord chat for ideas for Luxiem's first anniversary. When only Shu replied, he grew to resent the other Luxiem livers.
*After the ARLive event was canceled, the other Luxiem members wanted to bring issues to management. Luca was the only one who did not want to do so. Raziel states that Luca "expressed how he and Elira would discuss the other livers['] behaviors during this time." This lends credence to the GURRAT of liver-managers.
*Raziel was paid inconsistently by Luca. He had to be pestered to pay her. When Raziel offered to write up a simple contract, Luca vehemently refused; Luca also refused to receive invoices from Raziel.
*Luca's chat was moderated without rules for an extended period of time. This would often force Raziel and the other moderator to explain their actions to Luca after the fact. Luca was very inconsistent and unclear with what his personal expectations for chat behavior were. When the moderators finally wrote up chat rules, Luca rejected them and wrote his own. However, Luca's rules were incoherent and used slang in unclear ways, meaning that the rules were not useful to the moderators.
*Luca never tested any games before playing them. When this led to technical issues, he would turn to Raziel, who would try to help him; but Luca was often unreceptive to Raziel's comments and was very rude.
*Raziel was one of the principal actors involved in creating Luca's Luxiem-themed VRChat room. Luca was often unresponsive and prevented Raziel from speaking with other Luxiem livers.
[cont'd]

>>72555790
*Raziel did much more than just moderation work; except for a credit in Luca's debut and for the VRChat world, Raziel's other work was uncredited. This includes much work she did on the Minecraft server; she was given his account information so as to use his Minecraft account to build it in Creative Mode, and give him the materials to build the remainder in Survival Mode.
*She also made several schedules for him, in addition to contacting artists about using their fan-works for the schedule.
*She wrote the story for Luca's 2nd outfit stream, and the script for his 2023 spring and birthday voice-packs.
*She wrote the hand-written message for Luca's birthday in 2023, and traced over the "Love" design in that image (which had been made by someone else).
*She also wrote the messages (in Japanese and in English) posted on Nijisanji's Twitter account to celebrate Luca's having one million subscribers.
*Luca never received any public-relations training from Nijisanji, and very little management presence was felt. Luca told Raziel that NijiEN management expected him to lead Luxiem (in a managerial sense).
*Luca shared some details of internal management with Raziel. One of these involved Luca's and Luxiem's negotiations with Japanese ANYCOLOR staff about the 2022 Nijifes and the "postponed" ARLive. Only three members of Luxiem were going to be in the 2022 Nijifes, and the song was produced by someone associated with NFTs. When they were confronted about this, the Japanese management was shocked that anyone spoke back to them, and one of them started crying. Luca was then taken out for a very expensive dinner with ANYCOLOR's top brass.
*Some time after this, Raziel broke off most connection with Luca. They talked on occasion after this, but their relationship deteriorated. During this period Luca was very emotionally abusive.
*He took pictures of other livers during IRL excursions, possibly without them knowing.
*Raziel and Luca continued with an extensive, toxic, codependent relationship.
*They finally stopped talking to each other in Spring-Summer 2023.
*Luca knew about Aster harassing female livers, but management didn't do anything and Luca also chose not to do anything after discussing the matter over with Elira and Raziel.
*Luca has also harassed other NijiEN livers; Raziel does not reveal names.
*Raziel knew (threw Luca) of at least two pairs of livers dating. They are described as follows:
**"One pair would date for a while, even meeting up IRL several times, and to my understanding ended things amicably."
**"The other pair I knew of would end up dating for a short amount of time due to one side becoming increasingly demanding and vicious towards the other."

Well, this is a point-by-point summary of the entire document. For the /news/ summary, a few lines mentioning the best points of the whole document would work. I just hope my long summary can help people who want more information and for people who want to summarize my summary.

>>72554961
This is what I'm talking about, ok yea, its news fine, but what's to be discussed in regards TO said news, if the thread cant figure that out we're at risk of just becoming another schizo den.

>>72556531
>What's the news then? Where's the bombshell?
That an ex released a book detailing behind the scenes activities of a major vtuber. This is, again, the equivalent of someone close to a political figure who has ranted about them in various interviews dumping a book on said figure. That's news. (And as >>72555790 points out, involves several new revelations beyond the previous rants.)

Whether one wants to actually bother to read said book, that's is up to consumer.

>>72556531
Making a manager cry in front of a VP seems pretty big. Them actually going on strike about the live. The fact she had access to his internal anycolor email. "Confirming" that the two accounts used to harass other people auditioning belonged to him. Some other minor (but still interesting imo) stuff like they have special cars and people to protect their identities when they arrive at the airport, mysta not getting any covid shots (which probably changed before travelling to japan).

thanks, that was it. zoom affects it.
>>72562277
a rrat I suppose, but Luca literally has an executive protecting him

>>72562579
>has an executive protecting him
The question is whether this blows up on Twitter. In the corpo-hate (and especially NijiEN-hate) age in which we live, I think people will be happy to attack Luca and demand some sort of apology. If that involves a streaming hiatus (like the ones under which Elira and Vox find themselves), that would be interesting.

>>72561808
Based Smol-Ame poster.

>>72532190
THE MOST

Some shopkeeping that I feel is necessary to bring up.
When I originally omitted the /kuro/ and rrat anchors, I stated it was on a trial basis. At least as far as the /kuro/ anchor goes, that trial has failed, and the /kuro/ anchor's existence as a way to warn of suspicious corpo activity (that may not have reached the breaking point to where it would become fully-fledged news) is valuable on its own merits. It is my opinion that the /kuro/ anchor should return on that basis, but I also still feel that most black company activity will EVENTUALLY become news.
The rrat anchor being omitted doesn't seem to have had a significant impact on whether or not people post or discuss rrats related to the news. I do not think it brings anything of value to the thread to have an anchor specifically for it, but I also do not think it ultimately brings harm. Just continue reporting/ignoring people that get too caught up in thier own nonsense, as you would do anywhere else.

Another thing I want to comment on is people asking why the round-up doesn't include certain notable happenings. That's mostly because I am one person aggregating the content posted in the thread, which takes about 30~60 minutes depending on how much background research and fact-checking I have to do to ensure the summary's accuraccy. I sometimes add notable events that I am personally aware of, but usually I stick to what's already been posted in /news/. This is all a roundabout way of saying "don't see news you think is relevant? How about you post it then?" Some stuff does get cut for being irrlevant I decided to stop including sexpest allegations among random vtweeters, for example, but we've only had one news day where the round-up was beefy enough that I had to start trimming down the summaries. Most days are not going to be like that, and pretty much anything of note is going to make it.

The point of /news/, at least for me, is to take events that are out there, in the catalog and various generals, and bring them all to one place, in order to promote an exchange of information, and prevent /vt/ from becoming overly-insulated from itself in various generals. I've been here long enought to know that's how boards collapse, and would rather that history not repeat itself.
But at the end of the day, I'm one anonymous poster. My opinions should only matter as much as I can convince you to understand them on their own merits. That I have picked a theme of character to make very specific posts with shouldn't be relevant, and you should not let it sway your opinion. Anybody could be smol-ame poster.

>>72563672
Fair assessment, I agree. Keep up the good work.

>>72563672
Of course, and I make sure to attach sources, and keep my reports as short as possible to keep your job as easy as possible. :)

It honestly doesn't fit her very well. Should probably go to someone with more mommy vibes, rather than psychotic kitten vibes. (Not that I don't adore Trickywi in small doses.)

I've found it harder to discuss black corpo happenings that haven’t become full blown stories yet. Like Nexas using the same playbook as those youtube class scams that con people into paying them money and then they launch 10 to 20 creator channels at the same time and have each creator pretend to be each others’ fans.
Or V&U. There’s no new developments or leaks so far and the story is “over” but there’s still Metaro people crawling the board and their damage control is so weird to the point that I’ve seen a lot of korean memes and korean argument styles that I have never seen in my life. Hard to tell how much /vnug/ hating Serafi is astroturfed and how much is genuine.
Point being I think a kuro anchor did help, especially as you said, as a warning

Dramatubers are offtopic unless a specific dramatuber had a scoop. In this case he didn’t, Raziel broke it herself on twitter. Even if a dramatuber is the first to reveal something or has an exclusive, this isn’t the place to discuss their opinions or communities, just the stories themselves

>>72565488
It’s just 5ch. The entire anycolor stock bosrd on yahoo has been taken over by pro and anti niji fans. Investors have been drown out.

Dont take this as me defending anycolor, BUT, the way Niji works is basically merch, vps, etc, they dont really pay salaries and such.
This feels more like people just don't buy whatever she puts out, again not saying there isn't anything sus going on, its just how this company works, finance wise.

>>72622886
IsReal!!??

>>72583804
ouch

>>72620609
they famously only get 2% of sales so it doesn't matter how much she sells its muri
livers make money from supas and subs but theyre damously badly paid

>>72625050
Except they're not and the 2% shit is a lie disproven by that lawyer tard. Shit even Doki disproved it when she mentioned how much money she had spent on projects.
Hell Deron herself outlined how they get paid and what makes them the most money back in 2020.

>>72626736
>Except they're not and the 2% shit is a lie disproven by that lawyer tard.
OBJECTION!

No it was not. The contract stipulates that merch sales are decided by an entirely different agreement. We have it from Kuro and Mika, among others, that they only get 2% (by some accounts 1%-3%) of merch sales. The contract only defines the percentage of broadcasting profits.

>>72635770
they're a cautionary tale for any general. this one has had a brush with it already, with meta discussions brought about by new people
hopefully /news/ will have stronger conviction and clearer boundaries
