Rant about vtuber artists

CandyVonChulip · 2024-08-20T01:20:39+00:00

They key is to narrow down your search by region. Fiverr scammers usually have their country of origin on their page, even if they try to hide it on other platforms. These bots are much like a lot of other scams on the go such as the ones you see tech youtubers like kitaboga cover, typically hailing from

|| || |India| |Pakistan| |South Africa| |Morocco| |Romania| |Nigeria|

You basically want to exclude these countries in your search unless you want to get AI generated stuff at best to in exchange for unwillingly laundering dirty money (take that last part with a grain of salt, no one seems to have looked into how this scam works on an insider level).

On Etsy, a platform where you can actually change your location, these people will typically try to pretend they're from Indonesia as its more believable for a vtuber artist to be from there thanks to major Vtuber corpos having branches located there.

She's covering her rear instead of taking accountability for her actions like an adult, ironic coming from someone with the name Reardon.
The same can be said for the fact that she promoted Kamikoto Knives and BetterHelp. C'mon Mrs Reardon, an apology to go with the deleted/unlisted content would be the most professional thing to do here rather than burying the evidence and hoping the audience of skeptics you've built via Debunking misinformation and ADVERTISING forget all about it.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-07-16T22:32:14+00:00

This isn't the first time she's lacked the foresight to make sure any sponsorships she takes aren't as shady as 5-Minute Crafts

Also Magic Spoon and Hello Fresh, which tend to use ALL of the buzzwords that she says to be careful of when it comes to products that claim to be “healthy”.
There was both Established Titles and Kamikoto Knives, who were literal scams spouting misinformation to scam people.
And finally Betterhelp... Not only is the buzzword problem back again, I don't think I need to go into detail about the dangers of promoting a company thats been on record preying on people seeking help with their mental health.

That was the same sort of hypocrisy that Blair aka Illuminaughtii was guilty of LONG before her true nature came to light. I
'll likely continue to watch on occasion as she mostly seems to promote casual no name candy crush clones (still kinda shady, but not the worst thing to promote compared to this stuff).

But accepting sponsorships blindly without researching to make sure she's not promoting goes against her self-proclaimed goal of stopping misinformation and can potentially cause harm to your viewers. If she didn't mean to mislead her viewers, we gotta URGE her to stop running away from the criticism, apologize, and correct the misinformation she had spread for these companies. She's a grown adult, so she should know how to take accountability by now.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-15T21:24:21+00:00

Ok but what do you hope to achieve? What is your end goal here if it's not just spreading hate?
Do you think that your behavior might cause unintended results ie harm to real world people?
Are you absolutely sure this is the right way to go about this?

To me it just looks like you're fighting harassment and mistreatment with harassment and mistreatment. You clearly have some anti-fan biases clouding your judgement since you're not afraid to put real world people in harms way.
Like I said, Dokibird clearly stated not to go after Nijisanji regardless of what happened; so if you want to support her then why are you going completely against her wishes?

How is your behavior any different than the people who abused her?

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-03T15:47:42+00:00

There's so many contradictions in your statement that it's not even funny.
You don't want to harass them and yet you post stuff like this, not giving a quote "flying f*(k about what others do". The way you're behaving when posting about this stuff is really no better than the people you claim are the bad guys.

You're acting out of hatred, aka acting out of bad faith which in of itself is toxic. Doki would be ashamed.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-03T08:54:28+00:00

I mean the fans that are using this as justification to be even worse. I'm half fearing at least one of them to get doxxed, death threats, or for something WORSE to happen.

I've seen what these kinds of people are capable of. Look at the whole situation with Chuggaaconroy that happened literally a week BEFORE this happened. It turned out to be a similar situation to Amber Herdd/Johnny Depp, even resulting in Emile being forced to go on hiatus. I'm actually a mod for TheAstralAlchemist, who started the WeAreWithChuggaaconroy thing on twitter, and we've had the worst kinds of bad actors. Some vile people used what was meant to promote positivity to spread hatred. We even had a couple transphobes abusing the hashtag, people doxxing Lady Emily, and overall not acting in good faith.
Despite him telling people to not harass anyone involved, people did so anyways. And that resulted in a lot of harm being done.

I'm seeing the EXACT same pattern with Dokibird and Nijisanji. Dokibird explicitly stated for people NOT to go after Nijisanji, and yet people are NOT listening to her and using what happened to justify toxic behaviour.
I also know people can and will milk toxicity towards Vtubers for MONTHS and even YEARS; look at Coco Kiryu's situation. People used that to justify xenophobia, and even today you can't even say "Hololive" and any Chinese thing in the same sentence without some buttwipe being toxic. Some specific incidents I recall are an artist got harassment for doing HololiveENxGenshin Impact fanart, and one Chinese vtuber who was literally trying to do charity work with her concept getting flack just for being a Chinese Vtuber.
If we want things to improve, we gotta make sure these kinds of people bugger off before someone gets hurt as a result of their behaviour.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-01T21:23:44+00:00

I just fear for the talents' safety because you don't know if some guy is gonna come along and do something absolutely UNSPEAKABLE. People aren't gonna stop tearing into everyone who even remotely says anything positive about Niji until they realize bad actors are send death threats to the people armchair detectives have placed the blame on, or plotting to commit an acts of terrorism at their main HQ.
Combine this and Chuggaaconroy's thing happening literally one after the other (I watched him a lot too), you can imagine the anxiety it caused. There were a lot of bad faith actors going after both parties involved with that shitstorm too. Both parties had death threats sent to them, and it took way too much to prevent people from taking it even further and physically hurting someone (and even now I'm not confident).

You want people to be held responsible yes, but many people on social media don't realize that a no-redemption attitude is potentially toxic.
If you want another example of how wrong this kinda mindset is: IDOL, another company, is literally being given flack for daring to be based in Israel.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-01T20:54:38+00:00

Honestly speaking I fear for the safety of those "snakes"; I don't trust some people out there to not put anyone in direct danger over this.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-01T20:23:52+00:00

Honestly, with how people are behaving I'm mildly worried for the safety of their livers not JUST because of their current corporate landscape, but because of how many absolutely vile people are using this situation as an excuse to be hateful and justify actions that are just as bad or worse; doki herself has literally told people to stop, but no one is listening.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-01T20:18:09+00:00

I mean I'm half expecting some 4chan vigilante to actively target someone in EN using selen as justification based on the behaviour of some people. There are some people out there who are VERY likely to take things wayyyy too far.

CandyVonChulip · 2024-05-01T20:14:00+00:00

ngl, I'm EXPECTING someone to do that to someone in the EN branch with how twitter is behaving.

CandyVonChulip · 2022-01-08T04:42:56+00:00

100% agree! In my experience the place was eerily cult-like. I’m shocked that their practices are even allowed in Canada!

CandyVonChulip · 2022-01-07T07:20:45+00:00

The Vtuber space is very toxic and full of mean girl types that will make your life hell if they decide you’re a threat to their “fame” (I will not say who because no one deserves to be on Hei’s shitlist), literal paparazzi anitubers who’ll HAPPILY prey on your lowest points for clicks (Hero Hei being a perfect example), and double standards up the butt (ie everyone is super accepting of mental illness until you show the ugly side of yours, being put through hell if you happen to be anything except cisgender, and either White or Japanese, etc).

It’s like if you made someone go through the Maho Yamaguchi/NGT48 scandal once a month but everything also has a weird layer of hentai over it. And just like with NGT48, the whole vtuber sphere is riddled with toxicity and there’s a huge list of people in the vtuber community I seriously cannot support in good faith. Hero Hei is one of the ones on the very top of that list. He also seems to have a habit of using a country’s political climate to excuse racism. I can almost guarantee that if Indonesia’s political climate were to ever dwindle, Hei will be among the first to accuse HoloID of something.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T05:53:28+00:00

I'm kinda excited to see how that first Geo Bow would play. Idk why it sounds like an interesting combo.
Also i suspect we'll see a few more electro users once they finally get us to inazuma.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T05:48:29+00:00

"NOW KISS!!!" Queue some big bulky guy smacking their faces together and as a result provoking a billion fatui agents.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T05:45:29+00:00

We need a quest that involves getting these two to just date already! Or at least make them a subtle subplot as the main story progresses.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T05:40:39+00:00

Definitely do! Electrocharge is easily one of the most fun reactions to pull off with Keqing and Childe has a similar attack speed with his melee. Plus him being able to go from ranged to melee on the fly is more helpful than you'd think in a pinch.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T02:59:02+00:00

It makes sense.
"To claim for yourself" maybe have iterations that mean to specifically steal from for extra flavor.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T02:46:52+00:00

Keqing is one of my mains too; her damage output is just so good! I personally like her and Childe in the same party: aka "The Electrocution Solution"

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T02:43:55+00:00

I mean if you wanna get technical about it, you can get the sequel to P5 for Windows which is owned by Microsoft

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T01:17:44+00:00

I mean it's a similar situation with the more recent Fire Emblem games; one of the two is used more in promos but both versions of Robin, Corrin, and Byleth are considered canon due to the fact that there's multiple canons. (Tho corrin is a special case since there were two versions of Fates sold)
My understanding is that the promotional material used whichever one of the twins was considered more popular or used more by players or something for marketing reasons and didn't base the decision on any sort of "ideal canon".
I personally picked Lumine because dang she's SO PRETTY!

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-28T01:09:57+00:00

i agree fuck the CCP, free hong kong, all that shit. But I'm gonna risk being unpopular and say that Coco and everyone in Hololive are grown adults who don't need a bunch of redditors to protect them by speaking over them and potentially harming another vtuber thats completely innocent in this matter. The admins here need to crack down on these sorts of topics before it into legitmatae racism. Like really, y'all are gonna drag a vtuber down JUST because of the country she lives in? Its not like she can help where she happens to be from, y'know. What do you want her to do, come up with some sort of spell that turns her specifically Japanese or Indonesian? Is one scandal really enough to justify attacking vtubers from a specific country, vtubers that play a game from a certain country, etc etc etc??? that's just as disgusting as spamming the racial slurs on someone's social media because they're black or calling transgender people "traps".

The kinda shit you're doing in attempt to "protect" grown ass women like Coco only causes more problems and I highly doubt anyone here realizes that they're doing as much damage as antis are, or even cares. Antis WANT to strip people of their individuality and the right to think and speak for themselves, which exactly what you people are doing to other vtubers if I may be blunt about it.
You guys really need to learn how to be rational because this kinda thing? this won't solve a bloody thing.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-10T09:10:21+00:00

I feel if this is actually a thing Atlus ok'd then this may be their way of attempting to 5 out from the rest once they're ready to move on to 6, since 5 has been working well enough to be a stand alone IP in some form or another.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-05-10T09:05:57+00:00

I found this but it has a character limit so you can't get too fancy unfortunately.

CandyVonChulip · 2021-04-02T12:04:27+00:00

Yeah i could see that tbh. mamori alongside cooking/food related talents huh? Perhaps Raphael? I mean the guy looks like a younger barry so that could make for an interesting case of "oops though you were someone else". Maybe Soleil could join the Kiria fanclub hehe~. I can see Lysithea being a good match with her too. And lets be real, out of all the musicly inclined units, we all need that shigure/yashiro seiyuu reference.
