Big thanks to vadimnewquist for collecting all those headlines into two easy to refer to pictures as well.

It's funny because those people also have like zero convictions too. Call for a boycott of Disney+, but then suggest their followers just pirate if they really still want to watch.

I mean, if they pirate the show that's still boycotting the platform isnt it?

If the issue is "we're mad at Disney for taking this person off a show hosted on Disney+" it comes across as a pretty weak protest.

If it was like "gently caress <company> for overcharging for <x> in our region" - yeah, piracy makes sense as a protest.

Someone complained to Pat saying he talks about Zangief too much on the podcast and that Paige is too loud. So to spite him, Pat decided that this week he would go into graphic detail about how his dog keeps cumming everywhere.

I don't understand these people who listen to the podcast but clearly don't get who the boys are. Like those people who complain when they go off on a huge fighting game tangent. It's part of the brand.
Of course Pat's going to talk about dog bodily fluids if someone complains about it. That's who he's been since he got Gief.

Also the concept of the Z-Targettable Colostomy Bag Weak Point is *still* haunting Pat's psyche so bringing up dog nut, potato mold, and disgusting bodily functions is his ongoing slow revenge against Woolie.

Thankfully vtuber stuff has cracked that at least some already, Nijisanji has both guys and girls in their stuff and they're like the next biggest group up next to holo-stuff.

There are Hololive girls who interact with the Holostars and don't give a poo poo who it makes angry like Fubuki and Matsuri, at least

Yeah, they're in like split M/F brands, but they still collab plenty with each other.

I thought Nijisanji was even bigger than Hololive in Japan, at that.

Also Nijisanji has at least one non-binary Vtuber, Melissa Kinrenka, so that's cool.

But yeah, Cover separating Hololive and Holostars officially doesn't mean that much to a lot of the Vtubers themselves, and that seems to only be increasing by the day.

Idiot question about vtubers - are these just avatars of real-life people or AIs that procedurally generate commentary to gameplay? I've never watched one, just been curious.

Nijisanji is bigger than hololive still, as a company. Their fanbase is mostly Japanese and generally Japanese don't throw out subs as willingly as na.

Also if you want proof youtube is incapable of running the platform at all you can look no further than coco kiryu, has pretty much constant hate from chinese people who are illegally using vpns to even get on youtube, causing her streams to get nuked by youtube like at least once a stream it feels due to mass reports, oh and she's also basically the biggest earner on youtube(Biggest earner in terms of donations, not sure in general, at least in the top 10 though)

Oh, I know, I mean I didn't see it happen. Like, even with vocaloids I got in early on the trend, VTubers were already a big thing when I found out about it. It's not surprising per se, just caught me by surprise.

Yeah the speed it took prominence was unbelievable, and like, when the English Vtubers popped up their rise was straight nonsense, gawr gura's rise was like a missile, she's pretty new and already at 2.25 million subs

Ah, that explains a lot.

Like, a few weeks ago, Nigel Ng (the YouTuber who created/plays Uncle Roger) took down a collab video he did with Mike Chen (of Simply Dumpling, a food/travel vlog channel) because of all the complaints he got about Chen. Chen immigrated to the States from China as a child and has been publicly critical of China for years now, which apparently triggered a LOT of complaints on Ng's channel from his Chinese audience, and I couldn't figure out why the hell that would be since I thought YouTube was blocked in China. Surely any Chinese audience that Ng would have wouldn't be actually in China, I thought!

How naïve of me.

They're great.
