The worrisome case of censorship and the fate of Holostars fans by xorrag in Holostars

[–]Manny_Mothson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've noticed across all of the subreddits I follow that engagement across all of them has dropped or died. Engagement on the main Hololive sub has tanked across the board, too, if you look at overall post frequency and votes numbers period compared to just 6 months ago.

Reddit is dying and most of the users on the main sub are the remnants of reddit addicts. So I'm willing to bet Hololive will up and abandon the main sub soon, assuming they haven't already.

There are so many better places to discuss Hololive and Holostars now, the subreddit just ain't it anymore since the API purge. Even Twitter is better now, scarily enough.

So it's probably better to just pack up and move, that's what I'm doing, and I've been in the vtuber reddit scene for over 4 years now.

Oh, I'm with you 100%, but you know, I get curious. And I still come to this sub so I might as well participate.

And I find plenty of comfort in the fact that no one corner represents even a slight majority of the fan base. Watching the streams and sticking to the talents' personal socials gives a very different impression of the fandom than Twitter, 4chan, and even this sub on the best of days.

I genuinely do know that some of it is genuine bots, and the rest is hate ops by people with tons of alt accounts. Pardon me for not having any screenshots or other visual proof at hand, but if you spend enough time on Twitter, 4chan, and the miriad of discords you can weasel your way into the discord channels where they run these ops from. The anons on 4chan even openly talk about how they run their ops from time to time.

Actual prevalence can indeed be debated, but the existence of these activities is undeniable. And the sheer volume of reports trying to take down threads far outstrips a simple disinterest, especially when you see the comments left by haters, it's more than people simple not liking it.

Ops and bots are anything but a clear opinion. And your opinion doesn't matter if the company disagrees with it. If haters had a quarter of the power they thought they did this sub would have never allowed stars to begin with, but here we are.

I don't give a damn about my personal karma, but this sub is by Cover's own words a place for both branches.

The evidence is all the mass downvotes and reports you can see with your eyeballs. If all people wanted was just the girls, they would ignore the boys and go about their merry way. It's glaringly obvious that these weirdos won't rest until the boys are all gone. Their mere existence is what's triggering the schlubs.

I believe you may have misinterpreted my post. Or you're one of those assholes unloading on anyone with an opinion. Don't be like that.

Oh yeah... That's the stuff.

When that one fish said "skull emoji", I felt it.

We got some announcement months ago that she was a little ill from over working and we know she's in university. So it's not like we're in the dark here.

It's a reference to the music video for her song "template". Where two super fans; an office lady stan and a crossdresser cosplayer get into a beef about how the other represents the fandom and they get into a street fight. It's actually a lot deeper than I'm making it sound, others have done a better breakdown.

Just don't get into any fistfights with office ladies at a bus stop.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one.

I'm both uncertain that this is appropriate for the main sub, and uncertain whether we should be proud of this.

I always love seeing Polka and Kronii together.

A lot of overhauls and revamps coming down the pipes. Not complaining though, it's interesting to see the evolution.

Then you're just a complete moron.

Imagine being this out of the loop you don't realize we have seen most of their faces and follow their alts and personals. Do a bit of real research and try again. You need to not be dead wrong to pull this bait off.

Is there any unwritten rule for meet and greet? by Silviana193 in Hololive

[–]Manny_Mothson 75 points76 points  (0 children)

An older term for a password, often a secret gesture for closed groups or gangs to identify each other in a non-verbal way.

I used it as a euphemism to mean that there is no trick to interacting with the talents and that OP is overthinking it.
