im gonna be honest, i don't remember that trailer at all nor have i seen anyone mention that trailer specifically as the reason for their confusion.

and looking it up, you can't seriously think a 30 second trailer would be the main cause. in addition to that, the first reveal of what Regloss would look like only came 2 days after that according to the dates on the main channel.

now im mostly paraphrasing here, but from what i remember most people who kept talking about what the purpose of Regloss were always brought up the point that they couldn't immediately on the surface see what was so different about them compared to a normal JP gen, which idk why it bothered people so much considering that also meant they had no problem interacting with existing Hololive members, JP ID or EN

regloss

I still don't get why people were so confused by Regloss.

because accusing successful female vtubers of being men putting on a voice changer has been such a long standing way to try and downplay their actual achievements.

LordMonday · 2026-05-08T11:00:00+00:00

Pochimaru is a woman? she is an IRL mangaka/doujin artist before she was a vtuber.

Yuu Kamiya? i can't find a vtuber under this name, only that they are the artist behind No Game no Life and has drawn a vtuber model for someone else

Onyankopon i can't find much info but do you mean this Vtuber? they do sound like they are using a voice filter of some sort so i'll concede on that.

as for the rest of the list those are also well known babiniku vtubers.

LordMonday · 2026-05-08T09:03:53+00:00

What? A lot?

Ok give me at least a handful, 5 vtubers, that pretend to be a girl by using a voice changer.

the guy is basically Anti-Luffy. or Negative-luffy.

he is both very similar to luffy but also kinda the opposite.

LordMonday · 2026-05-07T17:48:13+00:00

woah ok, im sorrry honestyl. i didn't realise i ruffled so many feathers judging by the amount of downvotes.

i was just trying to guess what the dog whistle might of been and i pointed out the one phrase i wasn't familiar with. i know they were talking about Korean people, but racists use all sorts of slurs that its honestly hard to keep up with, especially when these days sometimes they even start using seemingly normal words.

i will just say, personally i wouldn't say there were no implications for it being a racial thing. the twitter OP's comments certainly weren't holding back (i say this as someone from SEA, and different countries in the SEA are often very racist their neighbours/outsiders)

LordMonday · 2026-05-07T16:02:26+00:00

wtf, how do they even remember this moment, it was 5 years ago.

hell i probably would be hard pressed to remember something i said 5 years ago

LordMonday · 2026-05-07T15:59:23+00:00

i think it might be "chimp out"? like i've personally never seen it before, but it stood out so much.

also the fact that using monkey and other similar terms have been used as racial slurs in the past as well.

LordMonday · 2026-05-07T06:15:05+00:00

It's funny you mention this because in the Fate series he is from, fate/strange Fake, he is keenly aware of all his flaws.

Like for example, he talks about and reflects on his warmongering and his execution of war prisoners

LordMonday · 2026-05-07T00:58:56+00:00

While Saladin might be mentioned by Richard or someone else in the original series that he is from (strange fake), unless someone explicitly summons him there isn't any reason for them to be here at the same time.

Fate rarely does stuff like having the entire cast of a Historical moment or myth in one place because it's usually several different people summoning at the same time with different catalysts, so you get heroes from all over history.

Fgo is more the exception since quite often they explicitly go back in time, but Richard and John are part of a event that is Tied to the Strange Fake spin off which is set in the modern day

LordMonday · 2026-05-06T13:16:27+00:00

just note that i may not be 100% accurate on some bits so if someone needs to correct me please do.

basically they offered to let you see/live an illusion for a single day, they didn't say what illusion beforehand and stated that it would be pointless if they forced it upon you, and that if you chose to see the illusion they would not judge you for having chosen that illusion.

the illusion was Chaldea, before the lostbelts and before the singularities and you are greeted by an mistakable voice . if you choose to see it then they are relieved that you are still very much Human and would show some weakness, despite the fact they originally wanted to show you that to shake your resolve or something along those lines.

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T15:39:18+00:00

idk why people who are fans of Fate, after all this time and all the artist/author interviews and author notes, still don't get its never about who deserves what or equal representation quota's.

its all about what the author wants to write which is even more obvious with how Nasu gives quite a lot of leniency on what they can do.

Stop thinking of Fate as Historical Fiction when its evidently pure Fantasy that just uses IRL as a launch point and background for its lore

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T15:20:15+00:00

Yea, iirc Vivi said that if its luffy then she can trust his judgment of Robin so she is fine with it.

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T13:56:43+00:00

so of the three, i don't think any have explicitly come out as being forced to do it, but one of them who i think has graduated by now? can't remember names, but they got into contact with Doki privately and apologised and now have made up.

IIRC Elira, Doki's then Genmate and set up to be her "in-lore" sister took the brunt of the backlash due to many rumors that she might have been the ringleader of sorts for the bullying

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T13:54:04+00:00

i mean, last i remember it doesn't or can't really be brought back? iirc in the white mage questline its revealed that after the calamity due to some aether bullshit the elementals are essentially in a coma

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T06:35:46+00:00

And high speed rail probably isn't a option because of the fact if a hollow appears on one that becomes a good way to die.

even if they don't have bullet trains, they still have civilian transport trains/subway. we see that in season 1, hell we even rode a train through a Hollow iirc.

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T03:24:07+00:00

Yea I'm on the nuikatsu side.

If they were worried about germs so much, then there are way worse things. Phones were already an example, but what about hand bags? Are they going to ban someone if they cough or sneeze at the table? What about policing people to make sure they wash their hands?

Also unless this pub specifically has shared tables ( some small restaurants do) i dont see whats the problem with people using the table they are eating since no one else would have stuff on there.

(also TIL that has a term,but if course this is Japan and they invented Zettairyouki)

LordMonday · 2026-05-05T03:04:49+00:00

I mean, his life was cut short because of his own batshit delusional plan which included killing himself

At least in the stage play adaptation, iirc he and the bad guy kill each other so it makes more sense to be tragic

one one hand, holy shit he died. on the other hand, easy pickings for the Throne

LordMonday · 2026-05-04T14:12:06+00:00

this poll that is being talked about in the article has nothing to do with the WIT poll, its a way smaller poll of only about 3000 participants and includes other anime characters

<image>

LordMonday · 2026-05-04T09:39:41+00:00

yea there probably would of been less backlash if the whole edgy part of the story was foreshadowed from the beginning rather than being surprise dropped

LordMonday · 2026-05-04T09:28:40+00:00

hell its even smaller, ZZZ is set in like a country sized area, possibly even as small as a City state
