ADVANCING TO THE FINALS

Are you guys ready to watch the gangbang in a couple hours?

What you don't understand is that it doesn't matter if she's black, indian, or fucking green, people found something to rally their shitposts behind and they're doing it.
The whole board is a place for dramafags to get their fix.

>Ollie pretending to be a medium

For me it's not the mechanics behind vtubing that makes it an interesting medium, it's the principles behind the matter.

A pseudonymous person (like jim) or an "anime girl" avatar behind a real girl goes and does a thing. It doesn't have to be seiso content, or politics, it could be literally anything, take Chammers' cooking streams, or certain indies' news casts (PNN), or even educational videos, like Oliie and Coco did with math and language. That's the medium.

I also agree that it's incredibly interesting and attractive at a low-level, so it's going to drum a ton of popularity up as the mechanics improve. What's special about it is the meta aspects of it to me, and that meta "I'm not a person but I am a person doing a thing but it's not really me but is" implication. That's extremely niche and only common among the 2018-2020 vtubing, I think Tamaki best exemplifies this "getting vtubing as a medium" for me.

As far as the companies pushing the medium, for me it's about creating a brand that helps the vtubing industry by showing off what makes it good and doing what's trendy second, which I think Hololive really has, to the point where they are the trend now.

I also agree that Kiara's gotten better and hasn't been the worst. The morally worst for me was Chris/Kurisu or whatever for whoring herself out for a computer.

Your assumption is wrong and I think projecting either yourself or other fans' impulses onto me. I don't dislike her personally, I've seen her neighbor account and think she's alright. I think the way Kiara, specifically, has been done has been a major failure of management that's been bad for a lot of EN, with only Shark and Tako escaping that vibe for me. Amelia also has been pretty okay about it, but there's just this... underlying feeling, and you're right when you say it's more pronounced in other places to outright dislike of actions, but not really the persons.

>Suisei IRL tetris
I think was on-topic to her and actually well enough done.
>Mori doing that IRL collab
I think was really bad, because she cheapened vtubing to "I'm just another tuber."
>Kizuna AI worldwide tour
No, that doesn't really bother me about her, the swapping the voice actors out however definitely does. It's she's probably the least vtuber and more mascot out of the lot of popular vtubers now to me because of that. The person underneath is quintessential to the vtuber as a whole.
>Someone preaching cult-of-left/scientism/any other politics, including right-leaning
absolutely would bother me. It's not off topic to vtubing, but is definitely a major issue that I could sperg out about for a while. Short of it is this - Jim's a great example of a western vtuber who found himself becoming that through being anon and using fan-art as an avatar. Yeah, he's political, but nobody outside of myself really associates him with vtubing, which is fantastic.

I of course notice Kiara's "low on the scale." The problem is that she was pushing it at all, and that's the same reason you see this issue with Mori (most deserved EN), Amelia (maybe least deserved EN if only considering the vtuber, which you should), Ollie (maybe the most deserved in Hololive but not the worst at all in vtubing).

On the aside, it's not the execution or mechanics of Japanese Visual Novels that makes them special to me, again it's the principle behind the most reduced of the medium - immersion, and choice through a story with substantive or distinct worlds/narratives as a result of your choices, but it's still mostly a book/manga-type thing instead of a videogame.

At least we can agree on civility and that vtubing is a good thing. I look forward to it being popular, I care most about it being itself either despite it, or alongside it, whichever the case may be.
