Cory Doctorow coined the word ENSHITTIFICATION & found that a little vulgarity helps people engage with abstract technical questions.

75% of VTubing's issues stem from very socially stunted zoomers with zero professional experience nor conflict resolution skills trying to navigate the basic, ordinary problems people have in any communal setting
Yeah.... not helped by the fact that part of the appeal of Vtubing is its accessibility for introverts and people with poor social skills or social anxiety that makes community management an even bigger ask than normal for performers.

Hololive is very professional in a space that is shockingly unprofessional. It's like seeing someone in a nice suit talking to a guy wearing no clothes
Honestly wild that Hololive stays on top by simply... not fucking up as hard as everyone else. Truly the Valve of vtubing.

I had a dream that i went to a reiki place that was a money laundering front and an older woman's hobby (she was like 60) and because of a misunderstanding I got a tantric edging happy ending in a dentist's chair
her gyaru looking assistant was SUPER unimpressed

(VTubing is a medium, but it's not just a medium, it has some sort of larger social sphere with various communities within it -- that should be obvious by now)

Most people studying ENVTubing from a sociological perspective believe the industry is going to split apart regardless, with its various elements (political commentary, gaming, ASMR) being absorbed into other different industries. Only then will the "medium" argument stick

It's actually entirely reasonable for trans women to dislike trans men, for the same reasons it's entirely reasonable for black, latina, asian, indigenous, neuroatypical, disabled, etc women to dislike their laterally oppressed male counterparts.

VTubing is an industry first and foremost. The biggest influencers in the space are not there to make art, but money. It is not a community, barely a space, but absolutely has a fandom attached to it -- with warring factions and elements
But it is first & foremost an industry, one that can splinter

I don't think it's about fixing the space: Twitter is a platform, centralised under the ultimate control of a single corporation and person
As a previous responder mentioned, vtubing is decentralised and more about an art form and performance style

I think if ppl actually want to change VTubing they need to consider this in a long term and marathon way
I don’t think there’s an appetite for that which is why, many moons ago, I ran that social experiment to see whether people would do to VTubing what ppl did to Twitter, and it caused a meltdown

Ironically I think all of that means we need to be even louder when they behave that way. Support for that horrible sludge of ideology, the hate, the bigotry, we can't let it pay. You don't get to turn a blind eye to hate, to the mistreatment of the most vulnerable. Don't let it pay, call it out.

Very few VTubers are trustworthy. And people tend to prioritize access. ENVT is a space where people climb on top of each other for things: Opportunities, money, gossip, information. The ties are really fickle. Most of my actual closest VTubing friends are friends for reasons unrelated to VTubing
there's also the fact that furry is an actual community while vtubers don't really support each other in my experience

I agree that there are strong parallels, although I think everything is worsened in VTubing because there’s the possibility / potential to make money in a way that was never fully central to the furry fandom
A lot of VTubing’s problems are content creation’s problems combined with weeb problems

I need some of y'all to realize vtubers are just redoing furry history. Do some research on the burned furs and learn from our past sister fandom. Don't let the fashies take vtubing. Much like furries, vtubing is decentralized fandom around not an ip but art styles.

finally got around to finishing up the gunbuster BDs. It's funny how much of a mishmash it is- it's a super robot anime, it's a sports anime, it's extremely hard sci-fi anime. But that's what makes it so charming.

One of the funnier habits I notice media critics tend to do is complain how unrealistic a story feels whenever characters don't know how to just communicate with each other. Cuz buddy... do you really not remember what the average person is like??

There's no overdiagnosis of mental health conditions Wes, we're in a fucking mental health crisis because it was decided time and time again that "Disneyland but boring and evil" was the kind of place we should all have to live.
