From the previous thread: > which is about as close as I think any of the Holo EN girls will get to a "lewdtubing" streamWhere, I wonder, does one draw the line? As context, I've been watching some VODs from Sinder, an independent who's sometimes called a lewdtuber... but I'm not sure she's that much further out there than some of the things Kiara says. Just... higher frequency maybe. -IA. (also i don't know where to talk about independent vtubers when the more general threads all have hololive in the title)

My thought is, the line is between "oops, that one slipped out" and "alright, we're gonna go there". Zatsu streams can sometimes get into unusual places (especially Shiori's), but I don't think I've ever seen a stream where HoloEN girls have just expounded on the virtues of thighs for 5 minutes like Bao and Nerissa did. This is also why I'm specifying "HoloEN" though, because I've seen clips of Marine and Okayu doing a stream where the managers just threw in the towel and let them go for it.

There's three people in Hololive JP that nobody can contain anymore; Marine, Haachama, and Okayu. Get any two of them together and all they can do is pray they don't cause an Incident.I don't think all three have ever been together without there being somebody also there to keep them in check. Like Sora, or Suisei, or Pekora. Oddly enough, Pekora is like the base you throw on an acid spill - She doesn't like the sexy type things, and Marine clamps RIGHT down on her tendencies when they're together out of respect for it. Okayu's more of a multiplier on shenanigans of the sexy variety...and Haachama is....Haachama Is.

Actually, weirdly, I can't think of any rabbit vtuber who's all sexytimes like. Instead of being horny, they're all just insane. Which honestly is more appropriate for actual rabbits, which aren't actually all that horny. They're always fertile, like humans are, and they do hump each other a lot, but that's really not as much for mating as it is for jockeying for social position. Rabbits will mount anything to try to become a more dominant bun, that, I think, is how they got the reputation for being always wanting sex. But really, it's just that social positioning is a *huge* thing for rabbits.

Matsuri was never containable. She didn't breech containment so much as evaded it in the first place. (Also, I forgot about her.) :3 Choco's more like Okayu, I think, except she actually *tries* to be seiso but fails because she's just too damn naturally sex.

The difference between a lewdtuber and a regular person who's just lewd sometimes is...pretty vague when they're only on Youtube or Twitch. but Lewdtubers often embrace the adult stuff in ways that others don't-slash-can't. Bao, Sinder, Vexoria, they may have actual naked toggles to their models, they interact with and post to their adult tags on Twitter, they may have an Onlyfans or Patreon or Fanbox or something where they'll do prerecorded adult stuff, all that sort of thing. Melody is in a class above Lewdtuber and is an actual sex worker - not the only one, but the only one I can actually name; they tend to stick only to the actual adult spaces. Kiara can't do any of that, even assuming she wanted to.

There's nothing there I can really argue about, but I can also only directly judge what I've seen, and so far Sinder... hasn't had any of that.

And she's almost certainly getting way more money than she needs right now, between her streams, albums, and contracts for things like doing the promo song for One Piece chapter 106.

I was under the impression especially with her drawing-for-superchats streams that she was a bit tapped out after her last MV and trying to refill the bank, at least for doing new projects. Obviously, that isn't the same as being on the rocks with her personal finances*, but I worry that she might over-commit with things like the shorts and end up in a tight spot.*if Calli did get into an uncomfortable spot on rent or the like, I expect we'd be the last to ever know, if only because she would feel guilty about the amount of SCs the Deadbeats would pour on her if they found out.

I genuinely thought for a second she was doing the Saints Row "jump through the windshield and kick the guy out" carjacking maneuver. And yes, this is totally an incident that would end up in some poor sap's in-box at the NAPD. Not as weird as the incident on Tomodachi where some woman in a kimono sliced a cargo truck in half with a wooden sword*, but certainly one that will end up on the year's end highlight reel. *If you got that reference, congrats, we're old.

Not that I think anyone would think otherwise of the Blue Bird of Despair (or X, as some people call it); however, in this specific instance of Twitter being evil, I'm 99.9% sure the algorithm randomly doxxed Fuwamoco's RL account to me.This did reveal two interesting pieces of trivia: 1) Mococo does the "this girl worries me" side-eye in real life too, and 2) they're trying to launch an entire other idol project on the side, which is on par or worse than Calli's "I stream and rap for a living, and in my off time, I stream and rap" lifestyle in her first couple years of Hololive.

If it isn't Twitter, it's Youtube doxxing vtubers PLs and real accounts.That said, it's not exactly the most difficult to pick out the HoloEN girls. I said in another thread somewhere that HoloEN is home to some of the most open secrets in vtubing, with 4/5th of Myth being identified by the end of their first sentences, and 2/5 of Advent being ID'd before they even debuted. :3

I got into vtubers right after Council debuted, so Advent was my first real exposure to "looking behind the mask". It just feels weird when it happens because I'm torn between "wanting to know more about these people" and "I'm intruding on something they're trying to keep separate." Of course, I ended up falling on the side of snooping to know more. That led me to one more piece of trivia from what was on their PL account: Fuwamoco are intensely into their blue/pink theming."This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."

It's not random. The algorithm knows that people who know follow both accounts, and so will link them together as related and recommend the other if you're looking at one only. If you want to blame someone, blame people that follow both and trigger that. That said, as was noted, all of the EN girls are fairly known at this point to various degrees, allowing for Advent having less time and thus less info for some. The exceptions are more notable than the information that's known. Kronii has actually been fairly secure, there's only one or two iffy photos of her out there, in halloween costume to boot. Bijou and Shiori had nothing out there last I heard. Everyone else has at minimum RL photos out there to obviously being RL with facecam streamers/performers to having full name and their peer-reviewed papers found. (The internet is fucking wild. Take that as yet another lesson to be careful what you say and do in aggregate.)

Yeah, I suppose "random" isn't exactly the right word to use, more just "out of the blue"- I mainly use Twitter just for Hololive announcements, fanart, and some meme content, which leads to my feed being pretty regular in terms of who I see. So when this completely different account popped up, I looked to see why, and it gave the game away immediately (I mean it could've been coincidental, but there can't be that many sets of twin sisters moving from Canada to Japan at this time of year).I'm surprised there's nothing on Shiori, since she's been around for quite some time as a streamer. On the other hand, I expect nothing will come up for Bijou; I can't readily find a clip, but I recall her saying that she only did streaming before Hololive because they told her in one of her failed auditions that they were only accepting people who had prior streaming experience. So whatever channel she had before is probably minuscule and won't show up. >The internet is fucking wild. Take that as yet another lesson to be careful >what you say and do in aggregate. Definitely agreed. I'm running on the theory of "I'm too unimportant to doxx", which is almost certainly a bad idea, and also means if I do accomplish anything of note, I'm either going to need to try to scrub things out in a hurry or just accept that people are going to know a bunch of stuff about me.

Oof, speaking of how data can pile up, Kronii's doing a voice-acting stream, and she mentioned she was only going to run for 5 more minutes, until "1:10". This threw me, since I thought it was 10:30 where I live, so I checked the time to see if I'd accidentally lost half an hour while I was watching.Nope, turns out there's a tiny chunk of Canada that's half an hour ahead of the adjacent timezone, which might be the stupidest decision in the history of timekeeping. It's unfortunate for Kronii (the person) to have that out there, but also kinda hilarious and appropriate for Kronii (The Warden of Time) to be out-of-sync with the majority of the world. There's also chunks of Australia, New Zealand, and Nepal that are 45 minutes off of standard, which just seems cruel. "This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."

I'm pretty sure it's still one province on official stuff, but, well...as I understand it at least there's a bit of a *Scotland* thing going on. That said, I totally had her pegged as being on the *other* side of the country.

>I believe that specific part might be 'Labrador' now.Other way around - Newfoundland is the island, Labrador is the part on the mainland. Although officially the time zone applies to the entire province, I think in practice, most of Labrador goes by Atlantic Time instead. Also, fun fact: Newfoundland {and Labrador} wasn't part of Canada until 1949! Before then it was a separate Imperial dominion, and participated in both World Wars in that capacity. That's why they have that weird time zone: the real solar time in St. John's is almost exactly three and a half hours behind Greenwich. (It's also why the traditional opening narration of Hockey Night in Canada includes the line, "Hello Canada, and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland!") Anyway, yeah, if that's true, it surprises me on a number of levels. Newfoundland isn't a place one generally associates with things like reliable high-speed Internet service and the kind of pop-culture background hum that would produce a Kronii. It feels kind of like I imagine it would to find out Gura lives in, say, Bangor. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Not being a part of Canada until then is exactly the problem I’m thinking of - I believe it goes that it may have not exactly been a *fair vote* as to whether or not to join Canada or not, and folks have been increasingly somewhat grumpy about it since. I think the last I heard about...ten years ago? They were trying to get together another referendum to vote to leave.

Lotta Scotland vibes to the whole deal, >except it was potentially crooked voting rather than getting >conquered. If I'm recalling my middle school Social Studies correctly, there was pressure from London for NL to join Confederation, for reasons both structural (they wanted to have only one Dominion in North America, and also wanted to force NL to adopt Canada's greater level of self-management) and fiscal (they regarded NL as a money sink; the NL government was actually in debt to Britain, and those debts were partly taken on by Canada and partly forgiven when NL joined). I'm not sure if it was put to a referendum at all, but it seems pretty clear that joining Confederation was the least bad option available to NL at the time.

It's entirely probable there never was a vote at the time, my Social Studies grades were dismal, and my awareness of current events is worse, so there's at least a 30% chance I'm going to be wrong on anything involving either one.

So here is where she says it, but it turns out that it might be a false alarm on my part, because the timestamp on the video is 1:03 when she says it, so she could've just been talking about the length of the stream. Which if so I didn't take into account at the time.In my defense, Kronii doesn't usually start her streams on the dot. "This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."

I'm pretty sure if somebody tried to drop a dime on Suisei, the only thing we'd find out is that "being an axe-murderer" isn't just an in-game quirk. Likewise, if I ever see the headline "vtuber arrested in grisly murder", I'm checking on Mumei first. "This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."

Take that as yet another >lesson to be careful what you say and do in aggregate.) Kronii's *face* isn't that known. But her prior youtube account is known. Interestingly, she's been active on it relatively recently.
It's much more likely to find things like that than photos. A lot of the girls were streamers or made videos before - singing, a lot of them. Several were vtubers already before Hololive. At least one was even once part of the blackest rainbow company (And, from a couple of rumors, was bullied.)

A lot of >the girls were streamers or made videos before - singing, a lot of >them. Several were vtubers already before Hololive. At least one was >even once part of the blackest rainbow company (And, from a couple of >rumors, was bullied.) Knowing their roommate accounts is trivial. For a big company like hololive, there are good guesses for most of them pre-debut by now and the Internet knows who they are as soon as they finish their debut, if not the moment they open their mouths. It's only for the holostars that it gets a little iffier because they have so fewer eyes on them, so it's much harder to find the diamond in the rough pick in the gen. We only know Axel originally because he had one absolute diehard fan who screamed it from the rooftops when he debuted that they were happy that he had made it. (Incidentally, it used to be that if you ever wondered that Kronii was up to when on a break, you checked her old genmates because she remains very close to them. This is also why on a couple of her earliest trips, you might have seen she made less collab content with other holos or stuck around as long...because she actually used those opportunities for a vacation with her old crew instead to LA and Japan.)

...Her old genmates? Kronii? I only know her from another account where she sang about kicking the moons ass...

>...Her old genmates? Kronii? I only know her from another account >where she sang about kicking the moons ass... As with maybe about 1/2 of the rest of the successful applicants, she did used to be a Vtuber before. She was part of VirPro (which given what her voice work is associated with makes a lot of sense when you dig into it).

LAST EDITED ON Mar-10-24 AT 12:40 PM (EST) .....oh WOW, she switched over in less than a MONTH. And I knew she was good at voices, but holy cow. Also, HECK, I remember her from an episode of Things Vtubers Say! Been watching False way too long.

>And I knew she was good at voices, but holy cow. Yeah, in some corners she gets derided for it but she is legitimately a professional VA, just only on small company/indie projects. She keeps grinding away and it's great to see. Her work in Please Be Happy was really good and I'm sure Twofold will be good also whenever I get around to playing it.

Random HoloGra, but worth it just for Laplus antics."This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."
