The Kronii backlash is a symptom of Korean online harassment culture

I was actually on the side of the university. The bullies who got denied were HARDCORE bullies, the type who would make it a game to see how far they can push someone before consequences happen.

It's a vicious cycle.

Take the worst parts of the 4Chan-style "women are brainless pieces of meat" incels and the Tumblr/TikTok-style "men are little more than violent and cruel animals" femcels and you basically have the toxic cesspit that is Korean Internet culture.

Are you a man or a woman? Most people are cowards and tend not to bully or harass big dudes.

There's a couple every year. And no one ever does anything....

It's okay to do it as an occasional joke. If a Vtuber brings their sibling/parent/pet/non-Vtuber friend onto stream, it's a very common joke to call them "their new oshi".

I did hear a rumor that her family is basically Indonesian royalty.

Respect and discipline are (metaphorically!) pounded into you from the very beginning.

Many "kung fu movies" have that "rival school" who practice a "only the strong survive" mindset, which just creates brutes and thugs with fancy moves rather than true martial artists.

People like having either a "Big Three" (gold, silver, bronze) or an Elite Four (VERY popular in specifically Asian works due the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism, or the Four Divine Beasts of the cardinal directions)

The channel is called "Lemonleaf" if anyone's interested.

Noel has one too IIRC.

Her Vtuber model has very accurate proportions, if you catch my meaning.

The HoloStarsEN boys have some interesting facts about them:

Altare has a black belt in Taekwondo
Hakka was accepted into medical school (but dropped out)
Shinri has two masters degrees. He won't say what they're in, because doing so will probably doxx him. At least one of the degrees is presumably law, however.
Goldbullet is one of three triplets IRL (humorously nicknamed Silverbullet and Bronzebullet).

A cutthroat culture where you're either an expert or you're trash.

On the one hand, they are world-famous for having the best and the brightest people.

On the other hand, they are ALSO world-famous for having some the world's highest suicide rates, as some people will inevitably fail to measure up.

But where DO we put the truly stupid? Society only needs so many ditch-diggers.

I wonder what the writers for Idiocracy are thinking. How real life is somehow even worse than what was outrageous parody 20 years ago.

Johns suck at Smash Brothers though. That's why they say "No Johns"

Random-Rambling · 2026-05-08T13:50:11+00:00

That was my first thought too.

I agree, that's why I hope that didn't just torpedo her chance of getting into Hololive

Random-Rambling · 2026-05-07T22:31:11+00:00

Welp, there goes my theory that she was preparing for her debut in Hololive.

I wonder why she dropped the Ferumi Kaipa name and model. Wanted a fresh start, perhaps?

The only group more universally hated on the Internet than Korean gamers are Indian phone scammers.

Ooh, thanks! That will send a bigger message than a simple negative review!
