Have to agree. It all fits so well with the story of the squadron’s “rebirth” as demons. Nothing better than hearing the game’s music hype up the player directly as some absolute legend.

“Vtuber” is a term for youtubers/streamers/etc. who stream not with their real face, but with a face-rig software to give them an anime girl avatar. There are literally thousands of people doing this because of how easy the software is to get. The biggest VTubers join a company to get publicity and marketing and whatever. One of the biggest VTuber companies is Cover, who runs a group of VTubers called Hololive, a couple dozen VTubers who get a massive amount of views and fans. The company gives them their avatars and backstories and stuff.

In short, Hololive is one big group of VTubers.

Recently, one of the most popular members of Hololive was banned for three weeks by her own company for reading off viewer statistics. One of the countries listed was Taiwan, and apparently just reading that fact was enough for Chinese fans to start harassing her and a couple other members of Hololive who defended her. The parent company, Cover, has a foot in the Chinese streaming market, and to protect their profits and VTubers there they decided to just ban the offenders.

Obviously the blame lies on Cover for instantly throwing their own employee under the bus for saying “Taiwan.” However, all the dumbasses on Reddit think that it’s a big Chinese conspiracy, and that the CCP will assassinate the members of Hololive China, or something stupid like that. Typical Reddit Sinophobia.

Why what? If you mean the China thing, check my other reply. If you mean the VTuber thing in general, I’d say it’s just a popular meeting of anime characters and video game streams. Game streamer + cute anime girl = profit, I guess.

New account named after best girl, so it seems to have worked out

Tell me about it. At least Otherside Picnic looks pretty good this season, very pretty animation and art, too.

Would prefer no America, tbh

I don’t know if it was your post or someone else’s, but literally the thing I remember most about the sub getting banned was one of the top posts of the day was a celebratory thread about just how trans-positive the subreddit was. Chapo’s trans support has pretty much always been very prominent, so anyone who says otherwise is just blatantly slandering the community.

Can confirm. I made the mistake of watching the first episode when it aired just because of some word of mouth. It is one of the most disgusting and horrific things I’ve ever seen. I don’t mean to sound melodramatic here, but it literally made me stop being a fan of anime. Now I only watch a few shows now and then, and only lighthearted stuff.
