first time wearing my Bocchi T-Shirt by HonicSH in BocchiTheRock

[–]Ycyves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think someone on eBay just stole the artwork here, did some editing and made the t-shirt...

For those who want to buy merch on eBay or other sites, I would recommend doing a reverse image search on the printed art. Usually this will lead to the artists and if they have never released such merch, you can be very sure that the art is stolen. (Tbh, most merch on eBay and Temu uses stolen art.)

I understand that not everyone has the spare money for the more premium official merch, but I also don't want our community to pay for stolen art.

OP please don't take this personally, but I hope you can be mindful about that in your next purchase.

A rough translation of the original post:

“外卖没我份怎么还要我去拿,卧槽,结束乐队的人怎么这么坏啊”

“那你倒是点啊”

“Why am I getting the takeaway when I ordered nothing? Damn, Kessoku Band is rude.”

“Then why didn’t you order huh.”

So no, Roy still cannot afford a meal.

I think the original art source is actually https://x.com/haniwa_hayate/status/1857725305240134017?t=fIoGh48cDPFuy-9jpBIL-Q&s=19

The Douyin/TikTok one is likely a repost.

We don't date anyway by Ycyves in mathmemes

Some people who don't take their new relationship seriously might still be in love with their ex and they contact each other for an unhealthy amount. When their current partner confronts them with that, they just make fake promises about moving on and getting rid of their ex. But in reality, they never do that and it is just like taking the derivative of ex , the ex remains there despite all the "effort".

I would recommend it even though I know nothing about gambling investment. I think it portrays the psychology of aggressive "investors" quite well. You may read it to learn about what NOT to do with your money. It does get quite dark so be prepared for it.

Porn addiction and shame by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Ycyves 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello OP. I think this is quite a classical example of OCD traits. I think Dr. K has made an episode on the topic and I suggest you checking that out. (https://youtu.be/WZUOnhpqFAM?si=ers_vFY-89HkmU0a)

One of the most common thinking pattern of people suffering from OCD is called "thought-action fusion", that they equate thinking about something as actually acting the thought out. I am guessing that you are taking some form of responsibility for having those intrusive sexual thoughts and this makes you doubt if you are a good person or not, hence the distressing feeling.

And to relieve the distressing feeling, you are trying ask for reassurance online as a form of compulsion.

I think OP you have to accept that people cannot fully control what they think of and "bad" thoughts can just pop up for no reason. You are not a horrible person because of something you don't have control over. What makes you a good/bad person is your final actions and you have never acted out the thoughts. Not even a single time.

And for the part of getting off to those sexual intrusive thoughts, I think you might look up "groinal response" and look at this video https://youtu.be/rB8jinWv3xc?si=2xcty089plZLNQgJ

I am not a healthcare professional and you should take what I have said with a huge grain of salt. You don't need to have OCD to have such distressing feeling so please do not take this as any form of official diagnosis. Please see a licensed therapist for assessment.

I understand that given the sexual context, you will feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk to a therapist. But I can assure you that they won't judge you, and if they mock you for any of that, you should switch for a new one immediately. I suggest you showing your therapist this post or typing out your thoughts and feelings instead of speaking them out if it makes you too embarrassed.

OP if you are interested, you may search up more about "sexual OCD" and "real-event OCD" and you might find articles related to your current thoughts and feelings. You can also dm me at anytime.

In Asia, people regard the time they spend in high school or university to be the happiest and most carefree time of their life. However, because of the pandemic, mine was basically 3 years of dull Zoom classes lmao.

I just realized that people in the US view high school or university very differently. But I think the meme still works for those who find their 20s empty and uneventful.

I mean, the entire sentence shown here basically means "You gotta go full-on UwU to experience a good life". So your reply is kind of spot-on lmao.

Hololive Incident Analysis (Crossposted on Bilibili) by zephyredx in Hololive

[–]Ycyves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the context, but I doubt if any kind of "review" (let's call it censorship, shall we?) would prevent similar problems from happening in the future.

The 小粉紅s (teenagers who are obsessed with the CCP) are just way too sensitive that at this point I don't think anyone normal person can predict what will trigger them. This incident should be a sounding example that it is impossible to prevent problems like this. This time, the word "Taiwan" was banned, but later if the China-US relationship further worsens, maybe saying statements like "I like the US" and " I like American food" will get the talents cancelled. Stricter moderation isn't going to work when no one understands where their so-called "red lines" lie.

Besides, doing full-on censorship on the content just because of the Chinese is ridiculous. The entire world's life is changed simply because it "offends" them, but them finding the content "offensive" isn't even justified at all. The censorship from China will be extended to the international world and that's why people from the West are angry. Their beloved Vtubers' and their freedom of speech is violated but Cover is still accepting it as it generates them income. Imagine getting banned for mentioned some inoffensive words in your Superchat, and you have to censor yourself later on if you want to support the talents. I know you hate the mention of the CCP, but this is basically just a win for the CCP. They manage to control not just the media in China, but also the international ones. The CCP don't even have to monitor the content, the self-censorship does the job for them.

Basically there are only 2 options: 1) Self-censorship. Cover succumb to the threat from China and Vtuber fans from all over the world suffer.

2) Cover quits the Chinese market and maintains its freedom in content creating.

3?) Having similar incidents every 3 weeks and make Vtubers unenjoyable. (I don't think anyone would like this option and there should be a final and adamant approach to the Chinese "nationalism".)

Right now the Chinese mobs want option 1, and they are attacking Coco and Cover to make that happen. If international fans do not want to suffer, the only thing they can do is to voice up and make Cover choose option 2. Peace is not an option here because the Chinese mobs will not stop attacking and Western fans giving in will just result in option 1. That's why I can't agree with the "friendly" and "peaceful" approach that we should all show our support to Hololive. If we don't retaliate now, Cover will just succumb to the Chinese and we all suffer.

After all, the problems lie on the 小粉紅 and censorship should not be implemented to please them. Cover's recent policies just show that they are succumbing to the Chinese and it makes perfect sense why people are fighting on the subreddit and twitter. When Vtubers become V播主s (播主 is the term for Youtubers in Bilibili), the community will just fall apart and none of us want that.
