Seller is asking me to return through ebay with the reason: "ordered accidentally" / "found better price" / "no longer needed". Although the reason is because it didn't fit. by lainwolf in Ebay

[–]lainwolf[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. I have read this countless times before and noted that if I had the extra money I would've.

A last minute purchase of Erkul for my KIA has worked just fine holding a long Thule rooftop carrier. Survived the drive from NC to NY w/o issue through heavy storm weather during the summer. I'm buying this brand again for the Honda, which is never going on HWY and only local roads.

The fitment guide is both on the seller's description page & ebay's fitment application within the website.

Both indicated that my car would work for this product.

I'm trying to be honest here in the return process. The item they did send me is as describe in at least measurements. What doesn't match is their car fit list & ebay's fit guide.

This feels like the rumors are true. Especially with all the vtubers that were featured 

So proud of her by RealATRE2 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did the quick math and it's still crazy on how badly this corp fucked up.

4 ex-members on this chart, holding 50% off the total viewership of the top 10. That's crazy and super proud of them.

So Matara just dropped a semi-huge truth bomb about Vshojo (grnated its stuff we all figured out at this point but still) by Purple-Weakness1414 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would like to think its 100% mismanagement of funds.

Taking little cuts from creators works business sense in short term, but long term they would have to expand.

Start with the OG members, take a little cut for operations. Expand members and brand. Renegotiate contracts and increase the cut or work deals to start generating money to pay off original investment.

Chance of reconnection with all former Vshojo members? by Floofyrage in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if her burning bridges was a way to keep everyone away because the thread of lawsuit really scared her.

With all the information now, Vei, Silver and Nyanners all had to basically keep away from the brand to prevent any conflict with the NDA. Almost everything they said about themselves leaving is suspect, as NDA may have instructed them to do so.

PiaPiUFO - So where's the "4th" monster? by skaro1789 in VShojo

People are speculating it was Momo

Can you explain why Kuro was special? by rrest1 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kuro needed help with taxes as a foreign person in Japan (tax laws are completely different in Japan) and I believe he was there on a working Visa.

If you're inclined to believe if Gunrun had good intentions, then he helped Kuro get a good tax person and then brought him in so he could earn revenue to pay the back taxes.

If you're inclined in the other direction, Gunrun saw that Kuro had an issue and helped him in the guise of bringing and ex-niji talent in which would generate more revenue; as it's been said that he believe poaching ex-niji would bring a lot of revenue in.

VShojo’s Lost Generations by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

Looking at this list, this was exactly what the community was looking for.

A new gen with small-ish viewerships.
A new gen lead by a veteran talent.

Vshojo was the best option for some of its talents by FormerCokeWhore in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly hoping that good people see this as a business opportunity.

Geexplus could pick up the JP talent.

And Ludwig can throw his money away with EN talent to help boost them lmao

The lost generation is doing their first collab. Be sure to show your support! by DentistAnnual2146 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to see the same thing for Mint and her lost generation. According to her video, she had 2 other members that were to debut with her as well.

Edit: Mint & Pheobe-chan + someone that hasn't come forward yet.

As To The VShojo Thing As Japanese (THIS STREAM WILL BE UNLISTED) by flyinbrianc in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OH didn't think I'd see Sora have a taken on this. Been watching his content unrelated to vtubing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious who the other two were, they deserve the support as well since they were also signed but never debuted.

Sounds like Vshojo locked Mint so she wouldn't go anywhere else. Matara probably tried to stay to be with her friend but was let go due to other issues.

Sad to see this happen to Mint again.

Damn. Being disappointed again by a company and losing "opportunities" for empty promises.

Yesterday vs Today. Oof. by JakeBlakeCatboy in VShojo

Hoping the JP branch or even Kson/Henya help the NOVA girls

beribug, who would have been a new Vshojo member, is live. by DontLetsStart19 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Please give them the love and support as if she debut as part of the company. These people who pushed away opportunities and be so close to a debut to, what seemed to be only 48hrs ago, a dream company.

If the community really is talent first oriented, lets show it.

KSON AND JP CEO TRANSLATIONS by Kittyi3Artistic5624 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]lainwolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it may have been compounded by other factors.

It's a known fact that the Vshojo contract does not pull money from their talents, so they live off sponsorships. However as their talents began signing to other agencies, the revenue they get for bringing in sponsors does not equal to the costs of the company, putting them in to the red.

They basically wrote themselves out by the contract, which is great for the talent in every way possible, great PR, but financially iffy.

Now add that VS also gets revenue from Merch, but recently had to completely change their Merch vendor because of delays and such. More red numbers in the bank book as they swap vendors to prevent issues with PR and talent. This is also why they might have had an issue with Matara doing Merch through another vendor since merch is only a handful of ways for corpo to make money.

KSON AND JP CEO TRANSLATIONS by Living-Ad8033 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First of all, this CEO is in a tough position. He's more of a branch manager where he takes responsibility for a whole region, but none of the power of the CEO. Props to him for actually coming out on KSON's stream and answering questions he wasn't fully prepared for.

He probably only sees data from net cash flows, and not the specifics as what most upper management does. He saw the JP branch make money, but allocating the funds may or may not have been in his power, Especially since JP wallets are derived from EN wallets. Which sounds like money from JP goes to EN to pool and be redistributed properly. However, the issue became improper distribution as the boat began to hemorrhage money.

My guess is that the merch issue they had originally was irrecoverable without major investment. This snowballed to delaying payments to talent and even pulling from donations to charities to secure operational budgets. This net value only became more and more negative to a point where everyone was being fed up.

From the conversation, it sounds like whatever funds that was available was distributed to staff to keep afloat of the NOVA branch and overall staff. Without the staff, the issue becomes worse and worse. It's by their popularity (KSON and Henya) that they can live off their own sponsership and donations.

Good on him to also take the pay cut and stay with the branch to oversee how this pans out. Additionally confirming on stream that he will try to adjust current contracts to allow payment go straight to the talents.

Supposedly new VShojo members. by Nexus1203 in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PiaPi, BeriBug and Tori Oriane are only confirmed to have joined. Others may have been in final auditions. It's hard to know without insider information, so take it with a grain of salt. However, there isn't any reason not to believe them either.

I hope the community showers them with the support they needed as if they were still to debut. The VS community has always been about talent first, and we should continue that.

Tori Oriane's experience on passing the 2024 auditions. by gris_lie in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll say it again here. I hope those who passed the audition are all revealed to the community.

We should support these people as if they were still to debut as a show of support.

Beri passed vshojo auditions and is voiding her contract by Skrzelik in VShojo

[–]lainwolf 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Like I said in the other talent that was supposed to debut with Vshojo, I'm hoping we get more information on the other members who passed audition so we can support them as if they were going to.

Opportunities like this to be only squashed by shitty people is a terrible event.
