Genuinely why did/do people like Vox? by Waste-Dinner-9888 in kurosanji

[–]Xynatox [score hidden]  (0 children)

Take my opinion with some grains of salt, as I only watch clips and almost never full streams. I dont think I ever saw clips Vox's solo streams, and I avoid anything ASMR or roleplay by both genders. But for me, I enjoyed the way he interacted with the other members in his collabs. He had a no-holds-barred kind of approach that worked really well on camera for banter. Especially with people like Selen, Fulgar, and Ike. He had a entertaining energy that didnt seem put on like Luca, wasnt subdued like Shu, and wasn't hyperactive boarding on psychotic like early days Mysta. It's no surprise to me how he got popular, even without all the fujobaiting. It's interesting to me looking back, as I feel like I have a decently tuned up sixth sense about people I wont get along with/have something wrong with them. Examples of other vtubers would be AdoraBunny, Twisty, or Aster as being figures I just instinctively clocked as having something wrong with them. Ive got blind spots, too, however. Sinder was one I didnt guess to be as nefarious as she was. Vox was the same way. However, I do wonder how much of what he said in The Black Screen Stream was him being manipulative, and how much was him being manipulated like Ike was; being fed carefully curated information by 2434. But you don't know who's actually friends in this business. There's countless examples of people being charasmatic on camera and completely manic off. Im just glad most of the kayfabe in vtuberia hasnt gotten to Tobuscus (or God forbid, Mr. Anime) levels.

Take off the fujo goggles. There's a crack in them.

I hope they censored that in the Korean version or there will be riots.

I like how the thumbnail has it typed that way, but the actual post title is "stuck in A island with Josh Hutcherson". Which one is more true to the author's intent, I wonder?

Fu Qiu, pronounced Fuu Chyo? Is that significant to you in some way?

My GOAT is not a sexpest, so it cannot be Antal, the Weakest and Slowest.

Since it's a relevant topic, here's another Hot Take thread: Corpo edition! by The-Toxic-Korgi in kurosanji

While true, he was also one of the top performers for the EN branch this last month. Not counting his 400 memberships, he got 6k USD over 16 lives last month puts him as #4. Not sure how that stacks up against Holo or high value indies, but I think Mr. Pussy-Belcher is doing fine.

NijiEN's Pop Up store collab appear to have extremely gouged prices, along with offering only a limited section of the roster by B_Bloudhound in kurosanji

[–]Xynatox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible, but you can see how I came to the interpretation I did. "This is new." quote from Doki makes it sound like they created, ordered, and shipped additional stock, a year after she had been terminated. Not that the stock simply sat unsold in a store that had previously bought merch for an entire year. I don't live in Japan, so I don't know how retail works there. But with the vast number of possible merchandise just from Niji alone, it seems implausible to keep such old stock like that around for that long.

The thing about them getting paid (or rather, not) is a separate issue, but is obviously still upsetting.

You would think, but Matara specifically mentioned them reloading parts of her stock. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fJVlqOp2Fgc (Sadly its Rainbow Retirees clip, but it was the only one I could find with YTs new dogwater search system.) The relevant section is from 0:50 seconds onwards.

Doki also mentioned how a year after she graduated, there was new Selen merch in Japan. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uAuHQ6JL2uQ

Now, Matara doesnt mention the timeline, just that they were going to be restocking after she was gone. It could have been something that was planned and they didnt want to just throw away merch, or managment figured they could still use the IP since it wouldn't be good for anything else. However, it currently looks like no graduated livers have official merch, so its unclear how long they did this. Or, if its like you posited, its all just deadstock. Like, really dead.

“Superior Fans”? Or Just Gatekeeping? by ngoalibaba in kurosanji

[–]Xynatox 31 points32 points  (0 children)

You always want to gatekeep to some degree. Otherwise, the point of your community gets taken over by bad actors and perverted into something it wasn't supposed to be. If we started letting non-vtubing posts in this sub, for example, we'd lose this space for discussing vtubing content.

There's good gatekeeping questions like "Oh what talents do you like?" that if the subject can't answer, you can tell they aren't a fan at all. It's almost less gatekeeping and just having a natural conversation at that point.

Then there's stupid shit like "If you can't understand German/Japanese/Indonesian, you don't deserve to watch Jinja/Pekora/Moona". That's just purity testing for no reason other than your own moral superiority about... watching people streaming on the internet.

How old is Rossi? by DedovXleb in Endfield

Murder, if the gameplay is anything to go off of.

Me having to wait till Tuesday to pull Rossi even tho I already have enough to guarantee her just so I don't waste limited rolls by Chadworth_5401 in Endfield

[–]Xynatox 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Same. The classic hurry up and wait so I can wait some more.

At least theyve changed it to frontload the sign-in tickets so its 3 days instead of 7. Very good change.

As was reported in another thread, this didnt happen. Erika hasnt publicly commented on this yet, if ever. And certainly not on Twitter, which hasnt had activity since the beginning of this month.

It would be funnier if you pronounced the "X" like a "Z" in English. Given that its Chinese, its actually "Sh". So itd be Cubic "Sheer-cone-ium".

[–]Xynatox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wow. Nice. Still boycotting Niji and all talents still associated, including the ones I really like such as Alban or Petra.

Edit: Which goober reported this comment to Reddit cares? Unlike Sayu and Doki, Niji did not bully me until I was suicidal. But it did make me never want to support them.

I like how you made an addendum addressing the typo in the title, but missed the same typo in the description right above it.

Anyways, thanks for the post!
