/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

wtf I just found out that the shit about Coco is true. I haven't been paying attention lately. I actually kind of agree with you. The idea that your favorite girl can just have to go away even though they're successful sucks.

>>4866318
go see a therapist. not being ironic. if this is your reaction, you'll actually benefit from therapy. maybe meds.

>>4866318
Back to gaming, I guess. I haven't spent anything on gaming since I got hooked with hololive.

>>4866318
>Coco's graduation made everyone sad
Pfff

>>4866318
All because communist scum shove their damned politics into everything that exists, including anime and vtubers- our escape and break from the toxic politics that we are tired of hearing every single day.

yeah fuck this vtuber shit to be honest, imma go play guilty gear

Coco announced her graduation today. Final stream on July 1st. She said it's because of many reasons she can't talk about. Supposedly she wanted to leave. A few holos tried to talk to her and convince her to stay apparently, but she's resolved to leave.

>>4869192
Well, the majority of people would benefit from taking some time to take care of their mental health. Yet the most of them get by without it.
It's completely normal and OK to feel sad about and hurt by this. Obviously to a limit.
People get sad because of stuff that doesn't directly affect them personally all the time.

>>4866318
Go dust your Funko Pops, Reddit trash

>>4866318
That's just you tho, I watch them to spend my time whenever I'm bored with gaming or reading.

If you live in a developed country, try to go to a mental clinic, get some help and keep in touch with your beloved one(s). If it's impossible to do that, accept it that the world is cruel, face it even if it makes you a miserable person. Have something for you to hold dear in your life, whether it's a family, SO, hopes and dreams, or anything as long as it works and your life will keep moving forward.

>>4866318
Frankly I see it from a perspective of "your favorite character in X series/movie just died". Sure the actor will still be around (unless your favorite character was Brian O'Conner lmao), but it still stings if you know the character isn't coming back (as in, it's not a "death is cheap" story).
Like, when Rikishi Tooru died in Ashita no Joe, there is a reason people had funerals in real life... his character was special and being a boxing series the guy was fucking dead. And I think Coco the dragon is similar to that.

>>4866318
My escapism world was broken when one english vtuber (not Coco) literally trashed me on the stream, because didn't like what I write.
I don't trust vtubers anymore. They are usual people, and people are generally shitty.
No wonder we have so many rrats and shitstorms around them.

>>4876065
>Sure the actor will still be around (unless your favorite character was Brian O'Conner lmao), but it still stings if you know the character isn't coming back
This. There is her roommate's channel, but even if she started as a vtuber again it just wouldn't be the same. She would no longer be able to talk to or about her genmates or senpai, and they will also change with her leave. Of course I still wish her roommate the best, and will probably follow her for a while to see what is she up to, but it just isn't the same.

>>4876563
wow you must be a huge schizo to get shittalked by a vtuber live. probably did some creepy shit

>>4866318
i'm just mad that evil (anti) won

>>4866318

>>4876702
Maybe I am, or maybe not.
Anyway simping over usual bitches hidden behind anime avatars, moreover using it as a form of escapism is not only unhealthy, but also utterly stupid.

>>4866318
It's the same phenomenon for me honestly, though not to the degree that I'm gonna drop everything. There was something about Hololive that made it feel special relative to indies and other agencies, like a big family in fairy tale land where everyone supported each other and nothing irreparably bad ever happened as opposed to just another company.

It just feels kind of empty now, like the same as any other youtube swill or content creators I follow. I'm still interested in my oshi and a few others, but the "magic" that caused me to get so emotionally invested, spending loads of time binging Hololive content and keeping up to date with all the major happenings is gone. I think my time watching chuubas will massively decrease going forward, clips and all.

>>4876065
It's more than just the character of Kiryu Coco being gone.
We know there's a person behind Coco. Someone who had to deal with a torrent of hate from the scum of the earth. Someone who was thrown under the bus by the people who were supposed to be looking out for her.
Someone who was creatively stifled and handicapped by either their intentional neglect, incompetence or active sabotage.
And we know how the departure of her character will affect her colleagues and close friends (yes they are friends).
This isn't just fiction, even if none of us are personally involved.

>>4876563
you gotta elaborate. what did you write, what did she say

>>4876563
>english vtuber (not Coco) literally trashed me on the stream, because didn't like what I write
story?
>>4877364
>And we know how the departure of her character will affect her colleagues and close friends (yes they are friends)
this is worrysome as well

>>4877364
She will be ok.
She already has her money and popularity, and soon will have even more, because she doesn't need to share it with Hololive anymore.
It may be as well be her own decision to start moving forward.
I'm sure most of losers in this thread should better care about their own miserable life.

>>4866318
i don't care about coco i'm just mad that cover is bending over to the CCP

>>4877364
The glass cracked, so it's easier to break it completely now.

>>4877616
I didn't say she wouldn't be.
That doesn't make it not tragic.

>>4866318
I’m out of anger and entering depression now. It’s rough to know that even fake friendships like this will eventually end. Everything that brings you happiness will eventually come to an end.

>>4866318
I think the thing that will hurt everyone is not that she graduated--but why. If she had had no issues and she just decided to of her own accord that would be fine. But everyone knows the real reason this happened.
So there's two emotions: for those who liked Coco, anger and resentment. And for the antis, satisfaction and glee. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been any major NTR threads yet, that's basically what this is. The chinks NTR'd the entire world.

>>4866318
You don't.
You realize that the reality is that politics is always going to be interested in you no matter how little you care about politics. The idea that this was escapism from the pointless bickering of the left, the right, the pozzed, the nazis, the communists, the alt-right, the far left, etc. etc. etc. was always just that: An illusion.
Sooner or later this board is going to look just like /v/ where almost any video game or vtuber can and will be plotted along a political compass to argue about politics via proxy. Liking or hating one vtuber or another will soon be a statement on what kind of politics you support, not who you like to watch to get away from the tangles of the world.

The only thing to realise is that you fell in love with a big titted cartoon because it called you a motherfucker and made you feel like less of a desocialised turd.

Go to job

>>4878354
Fuck job, I watch big titted cartoon dragon because she doesn't remind me of job.

>>4878408
All the "get a life" people don't understand this. A lot of us have a life. That's why we have escapism. Because life sucks. No matter what you do, you can make all the right choices, there's still going to be shitty things you want to escape from.

>>4866318
I should've learned that with Monoe.

It's kindof a whiplash with Coco because it seemed like things were going well for her (cover dumping CN, actually getting moderators to help with the spam) and it seemed like Cover was on her side.

>>4866318
>believed that vtubers were a nice happy world with no drama up until today
Back to plebbit, NOW.

>>4878178
I doubt they were the main reason.
They are celebrating, who cares? Let stupid chinks believe in their victory.
They are losers who have nothing to do but to waste months of their life hating and trying to harass some person on the internet.
It's even more dumb than blindly simping and throwing lots of money in superchats. This way you could at least get some nice feelings.

>>4876563
100% it was Shion, lmao

>>4879265
>english vtuber

>>4879189
They absolutely were the main reason. Coco even admitted as much in the past--the rules got more strict, and they were preventing her from doing anything she wanted to do. And why did the rules get more strict after what happened? And why is she leaving now? You have to be trying really hard to cover Cover's ass to not see between the lines on that one.
I find the antis disgusting, but you have to hand it to them, they got a legitimate victory, and they deprived everyone else of their fun and enjoyment. That's literally what they live for, find it pathetic as I do, they still won.

>>4879410
>And why did the rules get more strict after what happened? And why is she leaving now?
meh, the chink spam has been getting smaller and smaller, especially with the youtube autoban or whatever did they use to get rid of them
But some of the ideas Coco had were simply incompatible with Hololive, and thus they were restricting her creativity. Asacoco getting prohibited way back then is one of such examples.
And with Mio saying how Coco has firmly made up her mind and so on, I'm assuming she just wants more creative freedom to do what she wants.
As for the chink spam, I think it's even less likely that was the main reason, because they already tried spamming on her roommate channel, so it really doesn't matter to them whether she continued as Coco or someone else.

>>4879410
It's nothing but some speculations and trying to connect points. You could believe in this narrative or not. I prefer not if I don't have proofs. Worrying about something I can't control is a waste of time.
And blaming Cover has no point anyway. Without it we wouldn't have these talents at all, at least in their current form.

>>4879802
It's not about the spam, that's just a result of the underlying dynamic. It doesn't matter. What matters is Hololive has Chinese investors and presumedly wants to get back into the Chinese market at some point--or at the very least reset relations to the point some of that Chinese money flows to existing Hololive talents, like Aqua.

The wound is still fresh, so maybe I'll change my mind, but it's going to be hard to watch her content for the rest of the month. It's like we're watching her march to her death, how are we supposed to laugh and enjoy collabs? I almost wish she would have just announced it the day before she left, but people at least have time to prepare tributes for her. I also can't see every Holo keeping it together while they're collabing with her. Every time she speaks, or makes a joke someone might just burst into tears. And they're online, so it's not like she can provide any comfort to most of them, like Mori did for Kiara that time.

>>4880755
>it's going to be hard to watch her content for the rest of the month. It's like we're watching her march to her death, how are we supposed to laugh and enjoy collabs?
this. I tried watching the UNO collab today but couldn't really get into it because of that thought in the back of my mind

>>4880755
>march to her death
She's going out with a bang. She's collaborating with people that love and enjoy Coco and want to create fond memories before that becomes more difficult.

It's been a wild ride, and if possible, you should take one last spin before you have to return the car.

>>4876563
You probably deserved it.

>>4869621
If in the future, she ever says that it wasn't fully cause of the antis, you schizos still wouldn't believe it and pin it on some Zhangs. Politics lives in your heads rent free. You aren't running from shit

>>4880755
>>4880931
>>4881069
yeah, i don't possess the dissociative ability to pull stuff like this off. not really a fan of phrases along the lines of "don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened" either, because i'm generally future-focused. a funny or happy memory is nice to have, but ruminating over something the likes of which is never going to happen again honestly just makes me feel worse, as do big send-off or memorial ceremonies. i'd rather just avoid it all and be a little out of the loop when people talk about her going forward than intentionally traumatize myself by cementing it all in my mind as an important memory

>>4876563
Is your spine made of string?

>>4866318
This. I want somewhere where there's no cancel culture, but this time the cancel culture come from literal commie chinks themselves. Fuck SJWs and fuck chyna.

>>4866318
>Vtubers as a whole are escapism.
You are not supposed to escape this reality.
You are supposed to eat the bugs.
You are supposed to live in the pod.
You are supposed to consume product.
You are supposed to praise the antichrist.
Return to pre-programmed coroutines or submit to neuro-chemical reconditioning.

>>4887212
It's very telling how against space travel and planetary colonization the globalist/leftist crowd is. There is no escape from the prison, and the threat that you could exist somewhere else free of their control is too much to countenance.

>>4869192
It's okay to feel that way, what's wrong is to "stay" that way.

>>4869192
If you feel nothing. Then it means you need to take meds, cause you are sociopath

Am I the only one who's optimistic about this? She's clearly got a knack for business, and if even half the stuff I hear about her work on EN is true it sounds like she basically set up the entire division. Considering that, and the fact that she was interested in working the business side of Hololive, I think she wants to start her own vtuber company. If she chooses to work at Covers, she'll either remain a mismanaged vtuber, or she'll have to navigate the byzantine realm of Japanese corporates politics with the considerable disadvantage of being a gaijin, all for no real benefit. If she founds her own company though, she can get to work immediately in a more western-styled work environment. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if she has like 50 different candidates for vtubers the got vetoed by YAGOO ready to go. The only reason she has to not start her own company is the prospect of burning bridges with Covers, since I can't imagine a Japanese corporation of that size ever tolerating collabs with a former employee. Too much pride, and all that.

>>4866318
Just cope man.

>>4891424
Everything you hear on her involvement in EN is absolutely baseless conjecture built on top of people saying nice things about her. EN was going to happen regardless of Coco's existence, and she had no input whatsoever in selection process.

>>4891424
I think Coco will land on her feet, but it's still disappointing to see Cover cave so hard to the antis and worrying to think about how much worse they're going to be now that they've got proof that they can harass their way to getting what they want. Plus I just really hate seeing all the girls so sad.

>>4866318
Seeing the way my body reacted to hearing the news made me realize I need to step back from vtubers in general. I don't want to live in constant fear over vtubers I like suddenly retiring.

>>4866318
I mean its mostly that it came so out of left field, things were finally turning around and then it turns out the reason it turned around was that it was ending

>>4878178
The cunt fucking deserved it, she was way too vulgar for HoloJP's standards.
>inb4 marine
Marine spoke about sexual stuff in a cute fashion unlike Coco who neared vshojo shit levels

>>4892811
Small wonder she appeals to retards mostly. Hurr durr shidposd mentality ruins everything.

>>4892811
Are you someone who doesn't actually watch them?
Or worse EOP?

>>4891424
>I think she wants to start her own vtuber company
I mean that would be nice, I'm sure she wouldn't resign if she didn't have any plans or hopes for the future, so it's probably going to be fine for her, but it's still sad because it wil inevitably change other holos and we will not get to see her anymore regardless.

>>4866318
>The 2d world no longer seems idyllic
What, first time seeing someone graduate? Must be nice.

>>4866318
>I think I now know why the graduation hurt me so unexpectedly
It's cause you're a newfag who found out about vtubers in 2020 and also probably retarded.
