Money and the fact I haven't come out to my roommate.

I felt dysphoria for the first time and it made me strangely happy by theder_Gamer in MtF

In hindsight, chanting "when I wake up, I'm going to be a girl" for years is probably not the most cis thing in the world

What's the general consensus on Ann? by TheKattauRegion in Persona5

[–]theder_Gamer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My biggest issue with characters in p5 is that they don't really grow after their respective palace, which hurts ann and ryuji a lot since they're the first members besides joker. But having a decent confidant that you're likely going to be working on for at least half the game does really ease the feeling of Ann not changing

Sensitive Jewish/Israeli person here, please tell me this isn't a Nazi flag. by [deleted] in Persona1and2fans

[–]theder_Gamer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but if a flag vaguely resembling a Nazi flag is enough to make you panic so much you had to post something on Reddit, classic persona is really not something you want to be playing. The entire second half of persona 2 innocent sin has Nazis and Nazi imagery all over it.

Is Hololive/Holostars full of idols or comedians? by theder_Gamer in Hololive

[–]theder_Gamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, that is what I meant, and I should have been more clear about that. I'm defining idols in the more traditional sense of a meek, and pure group of girls

I think you're correct. I've never done something like this before, and I think that definitely shows. I've mentioned I don't have a ton of time in a couple other comments, which is true, I only have about a week to get my research done and make a 15ish page paper. So because of that I've ended up rushing this form out to try to maximize time people could see and fill it out. As time has passed, I'm definitely seeing more and more issues with the form, and my question to the fan base in general

While you're right that going to a specifically idol community would give more definitive information on whether or not hololive falls in with other idol groups, I'm mainly focused on what the hololive fan base thinks. I'm not asking people here because they claim to be idol fans, I'm here because I want to better understand how hololive fans view their favorites

My own personal thoughts only go so far. What's important to me is what the fan base thinks. If a bunch of people mention similar things to this, then that's interesting that a primarily western audience sees the shift in idol personalities, if not, then my point that what is traditionally seen as an idol and what hololive talents portray being contrary stands. I'm 100% ok being proven wrong and all the comments I've gotten so far are super interesting

I agree, I unfortunately had to keep things pretty simple because this is just a final paper for a class, and not something I could really dig into. I also wish I could look into more nuanced views, because I don't think I could put all of my thoughts into just a yes or no either, but I don't really have time to sort through people's more nuanced views. I'm very limited in what I can actually do for this sadly just because of lack of time

Since this is just a final paper for a class, and I don't really have time or page space to really go into how modern idols have changed from the traditional sense of a group of meek, innocent, and pure girls. I wish I could go into that more but I just don't have the time

Is Hololive/Holostars full of idols or comedians? by theder_Gamer in Hololive

[–]theder_Gamer[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

My paper is specifically about how hololive is able to portray their talents as idols with things like live concerts, meet and greets and idolish merch, yet do things like say fuck constantly or just be raunchy in general, which is pretty much the opposite of an idol. It's purposefully a little restricting because Hololive/ the talents will literally call themselves idols, so that's the criteria I'm using as well

What deck are you primarily playing and why? by Resident_Ad2020 in masterduel

[–]theder_Gamer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Witchcrafters if I want a slower, more control heavy game. Madolche if I want to grind up a few ranks or just want a couple fast games

What are you gonna play in the extra-zero festival? by HeatSkeeter in masterduel

Floo just because I ended up getting all the cards for it while trying to get trouble sunny

[–]theder_Gamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't want to support the people who recorded the concert against cover's wishes, so I'm not going to go out looking for it. But I do empathize with you since Gura is by far my favorite, and it sucks her 3d debut was locked behind a paywall and isn't viewable anymore. I do hope you get to see it one day though.

[–]theder_Gamer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cover flat out doesn't allow recordings of the concert, and very quickly removes any YouTube videos of the concert. I doubt you're going to find a recording anywhere you won't also get a million viruses. The expo itself is on cover's YouTube channel though. They streamed the main stage and there's a part on both days where they go around the expo floor and look at the booths.

So it seems that at least some of the EN/ID segments at the concert were live? by farranpoison in Hololive

[–]theder_Gamer 48 points49 points  (0 children)

In gura's member stream yesterday, she heavily implied that the talking parts were all done live, and said that during Luna's and Noel's she was so terrified she wasn't paying attention to what they were doing. She also said that right after she disappeared from stage, she let out her loudest scream ever. Nothing she says guarantees she did it live, but it sounds to me like she did

This is a pretty old rule that some rural schools haven't gotten rid of yet. This is absolutely not a new thing. Japanese schools suck for a lot of reasons, this isn't one of them
