No really you’re a poo poo mod how many pages did you defend or claim to be missing all that creepy poo poo? But you’re on the ball if anyone “trolls” someone who is unironically trying to argue that actually she’s a 1000 year old wizard in a 13 year body.

Heya just popping by to say that deleting the entire VTuber thread because Julias can’t tell the difference between characters and actors is a pretty poo poo decision! It’s probably for the best for me that that thread got deleted as it was soaking up way too much of my free time, but lol at the reasons.

e: this is actually a genuine question, because it's clear that there is no good solution to have vtubers discussed at all without something going haywire, so it might be for the best to actively discourage bringing them up in any capacity if it can be helped.

One of the streamers said they wanted to marry another one, which is about as degenerate as it gets.

Maybe it's because I have never felt attracted to any anime or vtuber but I really don't get why that was the last straw, it was a very tame jokey tweet as far as I can tell.

I'm just mad because I would like somewhere to talk about funny vtuber antics and good vtuber music that isn't full of drama though, and SA seems to not be that place.

I briefly glanced at the last page of that thread and this seems to be about 2 vtubers flirting with each other when one of them has a child for an avatar?

I'll be honest while closing the whole thread seems harsh "an adult puts on the persona of a child and then as a child flirts with another adult who is not pretending to be a child" is exactly the kind of weird situation that makes drawing clear lines difficult and given the recent blowup I don't really blame julius for that decision, especially with wark suddenly out of the picture and unable to help.

I don't care for vtubers at all so it's mostly no skin off my bones but after seeing the stuff that started the recent vtuber blow up I'm glad they're taking a harder stance on this kind of stuff. While I think closing the thread over just that is a bit harsh detailing a situation concerning people identified by their childlike personas and constructed appearances flirting with each other does make me fairly uncomfortable to share a forum with that subject matter.

a thread entirely about them that is very active can get really into the minutiae and be insular in a way that leads to weirdness. them being brought up sometimes in a general chat thread will not lead to that. and saying the concept just cant be discussed at all is pretty absurd, theyre just streamers with anime avatars.

This is the point of contention. You might think that, but a lot more people think they're creepy moving child pictures designed by and for sex perverts. It might be extreme, but going full nuclear on it for a while is probably a good idea. Not forever, but the dust needs to settle.

those people are stupid. next question. people can and have been posting about vtubers both in the anime chat thread and in other forums like games with no one giving a poo poo, even while all this was going on. the vtuber thread was the topic of contention here. there's no need to suddenly enact full vtuber lockdown. nobodys suggesting the chat thread become vtuber central, just that if you want to post the dog making banjo kazooie noises, that is in fact legal.

also 'a lot more' feels like an exaggeration.

I really think it's just as simple as just don't post about it here. Vtubers can do whatever they like on their social media or streams, just don't post about it here when they're hornyposting somewhere else. Talk about literally anything else about them. But people keep doing it, so hey.

Also it's really lovely to call vtubers "girls" when they're are plenty of men or NB and that's even before getting into the infantilization of calling women girls. Someone called this character
'underage when her design is a tall rear end woman and her voice is pretty far away from a cutesy child one that I'm just baffled at the comparison.

It sucks because apart from the creeps it really was a good place to catch up on Hololive in general, but I don't blame anyone because it was getting extremely hard to pragmatically mod (because of the few creeps and trying to find a non-existent consensus).

I think letting the dust settle and see where we are is, if not a "good" idea, the best idea at present. Until then I'm just going to continue listening to the music, which rocks.

It needs to be done for like a week minimum, and it needs to be enforced. It is fresh in the forum's minds, and regardless of what side you're on, nothing's going to improve unless we go scorched earth on it.

I don't know if 2 adults pretending to be 2 children flirting with each other is better or worse and this is exactly the kind of philosophic quandary that makes me lean towards siding with julius on this one

I get that it's meant in good fun and isn't intended to sexualize children but there's enough layers of gray area here that I definitely would not want to be the one making the call on how to handle people discussing this, especially following no longer having a second moderator around and especially considering why there's no longer a second moderator around. If the straw that broke the camel's back was "we don't want a thread revolving around discussing adults pretending to be children pretending to flirt with each other" then I'm a little surprised this wasn't looked into with some closer scrutiny much sooner

I don't care. Literally none of this matters. The simple fact is that Something Awful is not the right environment for a Vtuber discussion thread, for a wide wealth of reasons. There's so many people you can point fingers at for what went wrong that as far as I'm concerned you all suck. I suck for loving writing this post.

Neither the thread posters, nor the thread shitters, nor the forum moderators, nor the forum administrators can handle the topic. If that's the case, it shouldn't be here at all. Ban Vtuber discussion on the forum, and if you want to discuss Vtubers, do it elsewhere. There's no reason you have to be on Something Awful, and gently caress, now is a great time to go literally anywhere else, this forum is just a bunch of sad 40 year olds living in their mothers' basements. You can leave. Live a little. Grow up!

No, not really. For starters, how would this help? You're inherently accepting the premise that vtuber stuff is so hosed up and twisted that it can't be discussed... for a week? what would happen in that week to make it okay. either its okay to discuss and the vtuber thread got like that because it was insular and active, or its for twisted psychopaths and should be verboten. im not seeing the middle ground where we need to go 'scorched earth' on it for a limited time only.

Like this doesn't have to be a debate in the columns. Post a couple funny clips in the chat thread if you want every now and then and for the love of all that is holy stop arguing with random guys about the details of Gawr Gura's vtuber wiki page. It'll be fine if we can all just do that. As a community. As a people. I promise.

I think they're big enough and normal enough that allowing occasional discussion of them isn't really a huge problem. I don't see the need to ban them. This conversation isn't even actually about vtubers, it's about the arguments we've had about the vtuber thread being relitigated. Like I said, nobody is going to care or call the cops if someone posts a clip of Selen's sick apex noscopes. And again, people can and have posted about them in other forums no problem, it'd be weird for those guys to get punished because they were unaware of drama that happened in a thread they don't even go in.

If something's been allowed to happen without any drama whatsoever, and none of what's going on now has anything to do with said thing, then why should it suddenly be banned? I'm not saying turn the chat thread into vtuber central just there's no need to completely forbid any and all mention.
