As crazy and foul as this was, it made me weirdly emotional. I'm glad they all found each other and have made their own little streaming, vtubing collective. I know Nyanners and IronMouse in particular need this, though Mousey's known and streamed with the others for a while.

Going back and watching Kiara's Q&A stream, she's good!

Also her model double fisting chicken drumsticks is very amusing.

It feels wrong to call it wholesome, but it really was. It was like Nyanners was going to her first day of classes at a new school and she wanted to fit in so bad and everyone was just so nice to her! :glomp:

You should also watch the Nyanners and Karibu collab. I believe that was Nyanners first collab and she was very nervous for that too. They had fun but they didn't take off like Nyanners, Mouse, Silver, and Melody did.

Everytime I see her I'm reminded of the delicious turkey legs at our local renaissance faire. I'd be double fisting those bad boys too if they weren't $8 a pop.

Seriously the Coco voice and subsequently listening to any other hololiver imitate coco makes me laugh every time

someone on twitter or a discord or something months ago said Coco is the Johnny Sins of Hololive and it's been in my head always since then because it's just true

I don't think this is a hot take, he is talking about a segment of vtuber fans not vtuber fandom as a whole. And many of the fascist, racist, homophobic etc anime avatar gremlins on twitter/reddit/4chan/wherever only understand japan and its culture through anime lens and think of japanese people and anime/manga creators as like ... entirely apolitical, purely because they don't understand the language enough to know what japanese people are thinking beyond what gets subtitled on youtube.

Mind that Shaun is himself a VTuber fan; He's talking about a specific subset of fans rather than the audience in general, so this take isn't all that hot really.

It is, however, hilariously easy to read "bigots" as a second insult rather than a group identification, and given that it comes like two hours after

https://twitter.com/shaun_vids/status/1305516673106153472

it definitely still qualifies as a Dumb Hot Take worthy of laughing at, IMO.

Lol he should see what provokes their japanese fandom. Harsh transgressions like "a male voice at the end of a stream" and having dated a man, ever.

The point I'm getting at is that every group of people is going to also contain awful people. Bigotry is certainly not limited to white Westerners.

Just gotta keep walking down that road.
So they went and made a thread for this kind of thing

Probably gonna be pretty HololiveEN dominated thread, but JP listening practice has been a good excuse for adding this subset of streamers into my never-expanding Japanese streamer list so from that side, the anime boy duo Kanae and Kuzuha played Donkey Kong Country the other day and I recommend it for its display of truly flawless coordination, harmony, and gameplay skill.

They also released one of their songs the same day, though it must be presented with a forewarning as it does contain handholding.

Pekora is one of my faves because her fans have the defensive pact/understanding that she is their precious adorable bunny and it is up to them to knock her down a peg whenever she lets it get to her head.

Kiara saying in her Q&A that she wouldn't want to bully Pekora in a collab, but it is pretty funny when she gets bullied by her fans, was pretty much peak Pekora fan

If there are more than 3 vtubers in the group then Pekora gets bullied. Otherwise it's Pekora the one doing the bullying. You need numbers in order to defend yourself from the rabbit.

There are large parts of her MGS runs translated, that should help scratch the itch (The MGS3 ones are gold).

one example:

Makes me wonder why Youtube doesn't have real-time translation on videos yet.
Their auto-CC for English at least is way better than years ago. If the person is speaking clearly (and doesn't have a heavy accent), it's pretty good for following along. All they need to do is combine their translation service with the auto-generated CCs.

Pekora's entire MGS3 playthrough (the first one she did) is also translated, although it's in the form of 14 20 minute highlight videos. That same translator is also working on her MGS1 playthrough right now. It's a genuinely very good watch.

I hope the VOMS Call of Cthulhu thing gets a highlight translation at some point. But then, any VOMS content is good. Pikamee’s streamed with multiple Hololive people at this point — double shark would be great in like a month when HoloEN can collaborate with others.

Fubuki’s scatman video got me into this hole and all the weird narratives and stuff of these characters interacting has been fun to follow.

Also, this got posted before, but if this doesn’t turn you on to VOMS, nothing will:
