Hololive just had to stop accepting gifts because people were trying to sneak in tracking devices, I don't think the huge step of not posting background info, even it's spoilered, is like a huge ask. As insane as it sounds, these streamers are literally putting their personal safety on the line to entertain us, just don't post the info. Just don't do it. It's just that easy.
Some vtuber is literally going to get murdered eventually, and then we'll say "wow thats pretty hosed up" and go on speculating about whether the dragon girl is actually a guy or not.

Then why not do like that one post said and have one thread for the doxxers and another one for people that actually like and respect vtubers. Seems like a win/win to me, in my opinion.

I don't like calling people doxxers when the youtube algorithm spent half a year showing us peoples irl identities especially when psychos are sending out like gps trackers and poo poo

You don't get to be the judge of what sort of information is or should be public, the vtubers do, and they don't want this stuff known or widespread, so don't post it. It's just that easy.

Also, as the loving eye reflection stalker thing showed us, we don't know what kind of information is or isn't helpful to crazy people. What is the benefit here? Why would we take any risk at all?

I'll call them doxxers if they don't keep that poo poo to themselves and insist on talking about it, whether they do so by spoilers or wink-wink nudge-nudge hints or veiled assumptions or with the pithy excuse of "it's an open / poorly-kept secret so it doesn't actually count."

I mean I joke about Tom Servo but the even in MST3k all you really see during the film portion is silhouettes in the corner of the screen, and it's hilarious to me to think that in many respects, you could probably just do a silhouette of a lot of Vtubers during portions where they game. Even though you couldn't see at that moment the more detailed animations of their faces and stuff, the way in which they move around and express themselves could still largely be understood just through gesture.

Nyanners is particularly good at taking an avatar with a limited amount of actual ability to move and doing a lot with it just because of how she's moving around.

You're right, the Youtube algorithm sucks rear end and tries to doxx them constantly. Which is why literally every other vtuber community on the internet (even 4chan!!) has gone out of their way to respect boundaries so you don't have to worry about that poo poo while communicating with fellow vtuber fans, except for this one!

This is the correct policy, giving people coco's other life is fine and trying to triangulate a vtubers ping is weird and creepy.

It's obviously an assumption because I haven't personally seen every single vtubers personal policy on this, which is why I said largely, and something that is impossible to reasonably police for, so the blanket policy should be not posting about it because it protects the ones that don't want it without hurting the ones who don't care.

As long as it's in spoiler tags and not something like really personal than I don't mind.

Of course what counts as personal depends on the person. Ages and personal pictures are a no go. But if a Vtuber made a viral video in a past life and you want to share it than go for it.

Ok, so while this isn't incorrect, there's a lot more history between PekoMiko, from when they were in school to joining Hololive.

Yes Peko did bully Miko in school, once they were out and doing their own things in the early days of NND, they did eventually become decent friends with a good working relationship between the channels. So much so that I believe they did a yearly livestream from Mikos house every Christmas. Pekora was one of the talents specifically scouted by Cover for Gen 3 along with I believe Rushia. The current theory is that Miko specifically recommended her but there's no way to verify that.

To bring light to the darkness, whether that darkness be ignorance, injustice, apathy, or stagnation.
Saying “hey this is person X’s old/alt account on twitter” in spoiler tags feels fine so long as it’s just another internet persona, though you can find that elsewhere and it leads to weird conversations so maybe it’s not so innocuous

However, actively trying to find Korone’s age or their names or addresses or whatever is weird and gross

It depends on the what you find too personal I guess. Speculating on age or where they live is too much imo. But sharing cool things or music and art made in a past life is fine by me.

I was curious as to how Zentreya did her text-to-speech so seamlessly so I googled it and of course I found more than I was bargaining for, but I think I'm a bigger Zentreya fan now than I was before.

:siren: Potentially behind the scenes stuff or total bullshit :siren:

From what I saw, Zentreya is the combined effort of a couple on stream, there's a guy and girl behind the avatar and depending on game or circumstance they take turns playing games and operating the 3D model. They use a speech-to-text-to-speech software or the other types the speech while streaming. Zentreya and Nyanners are the only two non hololive vtubers I watch and the amount of effort they all put into stream is amazing.
