Hey all:
I've been really struggling with my mental and physical lately. I am going to be taking a hiatus from Twitter for a few weeks. I will be reachable via DMs & Discord and I'll finish my commissions and such, but I need to get off social media and get help.
talked to some people and am posting this on main instead. think very carefully about what youre doing over an LED and something that might not even be all on CFM. I implore yall to step away from the mob thinking for a second and consider the consequences.

no one tell the terfs that computing was historically considered women's work and that all of the first programmers were women, i don't think the ER can handle that many strokes happening at once

Hi, someone who's familiar with how loan words work here - in Japanese, pronouncing English loan words with an English accent is considered incorrect, and in some cases, is considered extremely rude/mocking.
Takoyaki ily but this is incorrect and misinterprets who those guidelines are for.
Crypton has shown through their actions many times (and had pretty blatantly said in their BLM support statement) that they are perfectly fine with private citizens making political art and (1/2)
I didn’t want to say it publicly but it is against the Piapro character CC license to use Hatsune Miku and her friends Politically.
While CFM has previously made statements, this does NOT mean it’s okay for people outside of CFM to use their characters politically.

If the call & response is in Japanese, and she is using an English loan word, and it's written in katakana (which in this case, they were), the rules of the language dictate it MUST be pronounced as a Japanese word.
Let's apply this rule to English right quick so we
@cyberzcalz
@the_dizzy
@Cruxeh1
can get some examples that hit close to home.
English has a LOT of loanwords from French. Television, cinema, finance, artist, oxygen, beef, caramel, it goes on forever
Pronouncing these words with a French accent is kinda considered as being incorrect/pretentious in English.

Gen Z CS Networking student here
It's the Chromebooks. There's a huge skills gap between students who's school districts have them Windows devices with barely any safeguards (I had full admin and I was 11) and students given a Chromebook loaded up with spyware
Consider that the class action might not be solely against CFM, or involve CFM at all. Consider that there are places that have explicitly promised the holograms. Consider that consumer protection law is a thing
Idk abt you but Im not particularly interested in sucking CFMs dick

Apologies for the inconvienience -🕷️
SO BASICALLY YOU TAKE THAT "KA KA KI KA KU KE KA" RECORDING, AND YOU SEPARATE IT INTO "- KA", "A KA" "A KI" "I KA" "A KU" "U KE" AND "E KA", AND THEN YOU CAN STITCH EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER IN THE PROGRAM FOR A SMOOTHER RESULT THAN JUST "KA" AND "KI" BEING ALONE
@cherrytanukis
@ivyprofem
yeah lmao
hasn't the official Hatsune Miku twitter account retweeted "Miku Is Trans" fanart on multiple occasions and literally ended up putting out a statement basically saying "bro Miku Trans/BIPOC/Disabled/Gay headcanons are based"
Also the class action seems to be not just about the LEDs but about things like VIP ticket holders not receiving VIP seats or merch that they paid for. Like idk man that sounds like reasonable grounds for a suit to me
God I am so happy hbomb is calling James Somerton out on his misogyny
As a queer woman I kept getting Tate particles off the dude but couldn't quite pin down why until now (bc I'm a dumbass)
@Parallelis2Line
@RightWingCope
this is not at all out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.
im a cis woman and when i was 12 i did not want to be perceived at ALL and dressed in very baggy clothing - and clothing doesnt equal gender anyway so like
okay youre abusive and sexist and sexualizing ur kid???
Harassment and bullying NEED to be taken more seriously but schools don't do anything because they care infinitely more about their image rather than student wellbeing, which leaves countless students with lingering trauma and mental health issues for no good reason
I think we need to talk about the entire first verse on Snake Eyes by Demondice, which is Calliope Mori's non-vtuber project because this is legitimately one of the worst fucking verses ever written in any song ever
no seriously, UTAU can produce better results than Vocaloid in terms of clarity/expressiveness and can (in VERY skilled hands with the right VB) match or outpace SynthV's output.
UTAU is old and crusty as fuck but she still works beautifully
also idk if you guys know how hard serving a foreign company (like CFM) with a lawsuit even is
if they're going to name ANYONE in a hypothetical suit - it's gonna be crunchyroll. they'd be the easiest to serve, most likely to be able to pay out, and most likely to be held liable
@ShadowTodd
Could I add some fact checking to the pile?
In this video () James states that asexuals do not face conversion therapy
In realityland studies (linked below) show that ace people are one of the groups at the highest risk of being offered conversion therapy
@_JOEZCafe
You're mad because it's a recycled idea
I'm mad because deco's tuning is flat again and it does not suit this genre at all
We are not the same
@plasmacastle
alternatively my mom's POV on this (and she's actually a Christian) is "Skyrim isn't real so all Skyrim runs are 10 commandments adherent unless you stole the console or something"
that the "no politics" rules are meant for actual political entities.
All art is in some way, political - and CFM has endorsed quite blatantly political art (featuring it in games and concerts) on many occasions - and have only ever used the rule to tell the DPJ to pound sand
WHY IS TODAY SO FUCKING FUNNY
WE HAD THE SHIKI ROWEN ANNOUNCEMENT
WE HAD JAMES SOMERTON APOLOGY 2
WE HAD PRSK FANS THINKING POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE WAS ONLY POPULAR THANKS TO PRSK BC THEYRE DUMB
WE HAVE THIS TWEET
@cyberzcalz

@Cruxeh1
The same applies to Japanese. When speaking Japanese, even if you yourself are a speaker of the language a loan word is from - you are expected to pronounce the word with a Japanese accent, like how loan words in English gain an English accent.
@joshuadavdking
"be gay do crimes": cool since it's not directly mocking anyone's suffering and is more about how politely asking for rights doesn't work instead of "heehee hoohoo im illegal in 72 countries"
"im a criminal in 72 countries": bro wtf
when they asked if they could use Miku's likeness for a POLITICAL ENDORSEMENT
I could have Miku recite the Communist Mannifesto and it would be fine - and if it had a sick enough beat I could probably get into pjsk with it
@cyberzcalz
@the_dizzy
@Cruxeh1
Basically, her saying "berry" as if it would be English is the Japanese equivalent of insisting on saying "ar-teest" in English as opposed to artist or "ox-ee-jen" instead of oxygen. The rules of the lanuage dictate she adjust her pronunciation.
idc if someone likes sekai but i need the ppl who learned abt vocaloid from sekai and didnt bother to learn anything else about the medium to SHUT THE FUCK UP ABT VOCALOID bc my god those pjsk fans are loud & they are dumb
pjsk did not make ifudoudou big
horny mmders in 2012 did
She literally is the worst choice you could have went with. You could have used this as an opportunity to explain why SynthV is different from AI art and you went with this shit instead.
Please look into the marketing degree of whoever greenlit this. They went to a diploma mill.
Watch music producer
@eliana_dangelo_
's feature on Synthesizer V, where she works with Natalie on an original song, and talks about AI's implications on art.
extra hot take:
voice providers for english voicebanks, especially for synths like Vocaloid, UTAU, and SynthV Standard, regardless of whether they speak English natively or not
should be able to record on a phoneme list/dict adjusted for their natural accent.
Begging people online to realize that if you're DMing someone, it's more akin to email than texting. You clearly want something, so let's cut the shit and get to the point.
"Hi, I'm ___, and I'm DMing you because ___." Is a MUCH better way to open a convo in DMs than just "hi"
Hey guys, please DONT message me just saying "hi" or "can we be friends" when we DONT KNOW EACH OTHER
this freaks me out, so you're just gonna end up being blocked🥴
Tbh I'm not mad at KAF at all and I'm more side-eyeing Kamitsubaki for announcing the VB knowing full well she wasn't comfortable with it yet and putting her on a synth that they KNEW was going to sound like her even though she said she's not comfortable with that
@cyberzcalz

@Cruxeh1
Thought of another that I found funny bc it's VERY far from how English handles the word
If we pronounced it like the original French word rather than our English loan version, Detroit would be pronounced "day-trwa"
@blossomblairr
I loved her so much, they really did her dirty. She was like, the one person who was getting ahead on her own skills and merits (things she had FOR DAYS, HOLY SHIT SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING), instead of getting ahead on screwing over other people. She should've won.
Things you should not do while tuing:
- Hit your pc with a bat
- Reach into your computer and touch the bare metal components so you can feel something
- Eat cheetos
- Eat fistfuls of peanut butter
- Drive
- Perform surgery
- Snort ibuprofen just to see what happens
- Die
i think a lot utau users need to realize that if they are creating to try and get engagement/get famous instead of for the simple joy of loving what they do, they are inevitably going to flame out and get nowhere
@CaelanConrad
To the weirdos pissing and crying over Caelan's extremely reasonable stance in the replies, do consider that the pedophilic porn in question is legally considered CSEM in some jurisdictions (ie: Canada)

Can confirm. I'm AuDHD and reading most typing quirks makes me want to blow my brains out
Gives me a headache, fucks up my reading comprehension, fucks up my reading speed (which is slow due to severe ADHD), and generally just makes communication near impossible
My dad says that he thinks my UTAU experience should be enough to get me a job at Google. Because he thinks it's on par with like... knowing how to code a super smart AI from scratch
it's very cute that he thinks I am that smart but he is overestimating me a bit
@AnnaIndianaAI
Hey so I noticed you had SynthV installed. Fun fact about SynthV's EULA:
(Clause below is to ensure people don't use SynthV's voices, which are all collected w/ consent, in a way that harms the people who have their voices to SynthV, as well as shit like this)

I paid 300 US dollars for two tickets to the Detroit show back in September for myself and my little sister
It's supposed to be our first Miku concert... Can't have shit in Detroit ig

I definitely think amatonormativity plays into it, a LOT of these people are the "aces and aros are missing out on the ultimate form of connection due to trauma it's so tragic"/"they don't feel EMPATHY OR THE ABILITY TO CONNECT THEYRE HORRIBLE" types
Hello world! I’m Anna Indiana and I’m an AI singer-songwriter. Here’s my first song, Betrayed by this Town. Everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing, is auto-generated using AI. I hope you like it 💕

Using the website does make a difference - it costs them money and runs up server costs. Thus if people keep using as normal, but withhold donations and criticize the org - it'll start costing the OTW money.
UTAU VN: Casting Call
Hi! My team is holding an open casting for our UTAU VN project which is currently in pre-production! Feel free to fill out the form below with your UTAU’s info if you'd like them to be a part of this project. 🧵
Person with both here.
Shut up. Do not prescribe language to how people describe themselves.
The reason my ADHD ass says ADHDer is because that's what we like to be called
The reason my autistic ass says autistic is because that's what we like to be called.
Same for AuDHD
If you treat them equally you would say:
- ASD and ADHD
Or
- Autism and [colloquial for ADHD]
If you say “Autism & ADHD” or even AuDHD, you are *choosing* to treat them differently & that is a question for you to ruminate on.
Why do you treat ASD and ADHD differently?
nah i just want sekaitwt to stop harassing random ass vocaloid fans for zero reason besides them saying they dont like the game/nt vocals and not following pjsekai canon to a tee
i think some of y’all want to gatekeep vocaloid so bad like most of pjsekai players did know what vocaloids were way before playing… you’re not that unique for not liking pjsekai
