The Japanese "approved it" excuse is tiresome & worthless. Kadokawa, much like every other Japanese company, hires localizers with the implicit trust that they will do what's necessary to present their work to the Western audience. Unfortunately, what has been deemed

@Pirat_Nation BD2 players did much more than Hoyo player's performative boycott and achieved so much more in just few days

2026 is the year players take back control of Gaming

A lot of tourists misconstruct this on purpose. This is about people missing kayfabe, something the culture was built on for the longest time. VTubing has evolved a lot, and preferring kayfabe more doesn't make you an "egoist," "manchild," or any other bs term they're using, it's

Lolis are always the canary in the coal mine. BD2s been heading this way since the devs toned them down yet people were too busy shouting BASED because they also removed the men. Which missed the broader point: the devs will compromise on anything. Natural result is censorship.

@kyomu_utsuro Still ongoing in 2026.

こういう連中って作品やキャラが好きなわけじゃなくて、己の偏狭なイデオロギーのために利用したいだけなんだよな

No it's not. When I worked at MicroProse (1988-1993), game reviewers openly asked for bribes to review our games. As in, they'd call up our marketing VP and tell him they'd review it but only if we flew them into town and wined and dined them. Or if we paid a $1000 fee to "move

Let's Keep anime weird and Japanese.

This is why modern anime are ass. There would've been a panty shot here if we weren't in a recession

Hotter Take: The "VTuber community" has never said any of that shit, what's being described is entirely the product of LA Twitch Streamer Clique that some Vtubers happen to involve themselves in. Go to a different platform and you'll find those views are far from universal

>immersion breaking sucks, handcams are fine.. if youre going to facedoxx & bodypost do it on a side acc AT A MINIMUM.. if u want to call urself a VIRTUAL YOUTUBER >there’s too many tourists in vtubing >it’s full of clicky mean girls & drama something something anything forviews

Ngl video game fidelity could stop here. Theres no reason for games to become more detailed than they already are, it’s just going to increase dev time, production cost and hardware strain. We should focus on literally any other aspect but this from now on.

Its tiring how we need constantly talking about this. So i think its better to just say western vtubing just make their own vtubing and they can do whatever tf they want. But its long way to go fo EN vtuber reaching the same acceptance with EAST vtuber.

As a VTuber and a fan, you are supposed to be weird. You might be a loser, a gooner, an idiot, a weirdo, a 'degenerate', or a 'outcast'. Vtubing is a platform and industry built and financially sustained by these people. The very VTubers you love, I guarantee you, fit into one

Ignore the subtitles, but most fans who played both versions spotted the difference in 2B's characterization. It's not so much about what her goal is and how she has to keep her distance from 9S because of her designation, but this sidequest in particular butchered her

Normies will call you cringe for watching Anime then sit down to watch this shit

Dark Souls is an allegory for depression and life as a whole. Giving up is the true death. but the game is also deeply Nietzschean. It offers neither external salvation nor moral certainty there are no guarantees of redemption simply a harsh world that just IS. Meaning is not

Thanks for the question. A vtuber tourist is someone who engages with vtuber spaces without sustained investment, context awareness, or accountability, while extracting attention, influence, or content from the space in a way that disrupts community norms. The word gets thrown
