Captain Cappy posted:I think Pekora is beyond playing a character because I have never seen her break character, it's like she's gone native as a smug idiot and her real self cannot return to our world. It's a (comedic) character that does pretty much what she wishes she could do in real life because she has social anxiety issues. Hopefully playing pekora will help her irl.

There is plenty of money to be made by launching cross-platform vtubers so we'll see them soon. Take some new VA, put her into a high-profile anime/game, and then have her stream as her own character. If the character is popular then it's safe money. Can you imagine the success of a modern Asuka Langley insulting her viewers? That could pretty much bring Japan out of its stagflation by itself.

Tabletops posted:drat. I guess it's better than nothing. Feel kinda bad for some of the hololive streamers who don't take in the superchat money like coco and marine and Pekora. Whoever else. Compared to how much other sorts of artists get fleeced by their managers 30-40% is quite a bit. In any case, pretty much all the hololive girls should be making good money. Expect Coco to soon branch into merch (followed by the others).

Trihugger posted:Polka is so awesome. I hope she finds enough success and contentment that she doesn't have to be so fatalistic. I know a lot of young people have the same attitude of "live hard and die young," but it's hard not to contextualize her point of view as coming from someone who's on their second playthrough. I mean, by being in her hololive gen she pretty much got like 150k subscriptions before she even started streaming. Like, talk about a head start.

(Given the chance Korone would have totally killed, skinned, and cooked that rabbit but she would have done it in such an absurdly cute way that nobody would mind) Anyways, Pekora is just magnanimously letting them believe they can bully her. Pekora and Marine are the best at doing collabs because they are the ones that get the most out of their partners. Marine can get a real nice conversation going and Pekora, well, she does what Pekora does. trucutru fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Sep 7, 2020 |

To be entirely fair, it might be entirely a result of translators latching onto the "joke" (because of course they would Matsuri gimmick is to be as outrageous as possible, even if it makes someone else uncomfortable. Marine gimmick is to be a horny pirate and the sheep sometimes plays a covert pervert. Those are the ones that do that kind of humor. Coco is also outrageous but due to her background doesn't do that sort of jokes. For whatever it's worth it's implied that they are talking about manga/eroge/anime characters which is "ok" in nerd culture. Specially Marine, who is a huge otaku.

Pollyanna posted:I wonder if the meaning of the word “lolicon” in Japanese somehow doesn’t refer to being sexually attached to and wanting to molest children, cause that’s the only possible explanation I can think of, and it’s a hosed up one. It mostly means you're sexually attracted to children and, in real life, people aren't going to joke about it (unless it's some creep we're talking about) . But being online makes people act in weird ways. It's just that it gets somewhat normalized (specially online) by the ridiculous amount of pedobait material you can buy. Also, for whatever its worth, girls are more likely to say they like the lolis or shotas. And in this case it may be that they just like cute things.

Tabletops posted:I've kind of wondered how many idol group people end up in same sex relationships out of necessity rather than preference in japan. Since you can basically lose everything if some nerd stalks you and finds out you have a boyfriend or whatever. Are we talking about real-life idols? They barely have time to sleep, never mind having relationships, same-sex or otherwise. And let's just say that their managers are very crafty https://japantoday.com/category/entertainment/3-ways-the-japanese-entertainment-industry-keeps-idol-singers-from-dating This blurb is particularly funny to me quote:So when hiring hairstylists and makeup artists, certain talent agencies choose handsome young men for the job, which they feel gets their idols’ hearts ever so slightly aflutter before they go on stage. But wait, isn’t there a chance that the hairstylists will fall in love with the idols? Not if the men are gay, which is another characteristic some agencies look for when choosing who to handle their idols’ appearance.

Captain Cappy posted:I haven't been paying much attention to them, but I feel like the only 5th gen I care about is Botan, mostly because she actually has an interest in something (pcmasterrace). Do the other They others are not supposed to be gamers so they just play whatever games are popular for streaming purposes since they are a good, easy way to create content. Besides that it's still a bit to early to tell since they are still playing their intended character so who knows how are they going to develop. Polka is a bit too overengineered with the props, noises, and other "forced" stuff (I guess I don't like her gimmick) so I don't enjoy her channel that much. But she's smart and has experience so I bet she'll improve her act quite a bit. Lamy is kinda stuck on her nice mama character. Nene is dumpling lady and about as interesting as a dumpling. Give them time and some collabs with the Gens 3 & 4 to evolve their chars.

I have been watching Coco streams lately and drat, she's the nerd-whisperer, a true wallet-milking virtuoso. She already has like a billion different little rituals among her viewers where they give her a little bit of extra cash. Even the other girls with lots of super-chat action (like Rushia, who is also drat good at that) get a bit confused when the tatsunokos arrive. Why are they donating? why is the chat blue? what is happening here? And the most amazing thing is that it's all pretty organic, it's not like she has a formula to get the SCs, it all comes naturally.

If hololive tanks or viewers move on Id be worried. Seems a bit fast but idk. Are we talking about financial risk in the context of the same Coco that happened to mention that she slept on a futon and then had to go buy the most expensive bed she could find because she was showered in money? Marine will probably convince Pekora to do some hololive stuff soon. She's nice like that
