Look at her chat, she's trying her best to attract the English fans, and if that means saying that or doing some sexy english then more power to her

It's kinda the opposite. The english fans came to her like it did Towa, so she's adapting to them.

It's interesting that Calli got so much more. Probably a combination of people wanting to compensate her for her music, getting an early time slot so she got donations from people who just wanted the experience of donating to someone for the first time, and spending the stream reading messages incentivising people to donate in the false hope she would get round to reading their message.

It must be a weird feeling to make $10k in an hour then having to go work the night shift at Family Mart right after though.

Yeah, of the two morning streamers, Calli usually pops up at a good time for people in America to catch her after getting up, but Kiara's streaming when people are at work.

She is Austrian but for some reason refused to speak German. She was trying to hide it at first but someone must have pointed out that it's her USP so she's using german greetings now.

I found that super chat completely dumb. I'm glad chat is fully supporting her to do her own thing. She speaks 3 human languages and bird. Let the girl speak anything she wants. This isn't the first time she's gotten comments about her speaking Japanese. I wonder if its English viewers being elitist or if antis are trying to bully her.

You would have to assume antis. You can't be a big enough weeb to like vtubers and then be like "uh, dubs are better"

Well the antis got chat to flood her with more money and support for Kiara. Its kind of relieving that the situation was quickly put down. Watching the Japanese members stream its harder to counter the antis there because of the language barrier.

Raise Chris Coons' taxes so that we can have Medicare for All.

It's funny because Kiara's strength is that she's funny. Pekora is pretty average at playing games for someone who plays them all the time, but that's not why anyone watches her, they watch because there's just something magical about a Wil E Coyote rabbit running into the wall very smugly over and over again. There are a few stand outs among the hololive vtubers in very specific things, like Suisei and tetris or Calli's rapping, but for the most part those are just kinda interesting features compared to the most important thing for all of them, i.e. being entertaining. I can see why Kiara might feel like she's missing her own special thing, but the reality is none of those talents are why people watch them.

Reminds me of the scrubs bit where Dr. Cox explains why everyone in the hospital is funny, and he ends with saying he's funny because he commits to his bits. Kiara fully commits to being a kinda ditzy phoenix with a crush on a grim reaper who wants to run a KFC. It takes a lot of commitment to really play that role, and then to also do it in 4 languages while doing stuff is kinda nuts.

The problem is it kills the pacing of the stream if 50% of it is just repeating what she already said. Either you understand both languages and you hear everything twice or you don't and you spend half of the time listening to her repeat herself in a language you can't understand. If you are a big enough weeb that you want to listen to Japanese then there's 30 genuine Japanese people you can go and listen to, so why would you go to the one who speaks it as a second language? The target audience of the english branch are weebs who can't speak Japanese, they should play to that strength. It will come in really useful when they are allowed to collab with the other groups though.

She already toned it down several days ago though, so it was weird that someone would send a superchat today complaining about it.

disclaimer: i am absolutely fine with kiara doing the self-dubbing

but i definitely have a couple weeb-rear end friends who got turned off from how much japanese Kiara used in her debut, mostly saying it's not what they're trying to sign up for from an english branch. there's room to disagree on it (i do) but it's not exactly a totally unfounded complaint

pretty rude to superchat her to complain about it, either way. cover corp has people checking the hashtags and conversations and listening to the feedback and passing it along as necessary.
