Probably contractually mandated, I wouldn't take it personally. (Or, if you do, the only answer is to avoid all corpos and only watch indies). She may not be in a position to afford taking a few months off in between.

Petrification is a relatively common kink, niche but not exactly unknown. There's an audience out there.

Taxes are due this Monday, March 17th, unless you're talking about some inferior country.

Unless you want a top celeb they go pretty cheap these days, the market is pretty saturated. Like any paid companionship, the skilled/hardworking ones will put you at ease and make it feel like a fun hangout with a friend, at which point the cringe doesn't matter (most regular gaming sessions...

YouTube allows copyright holders to take down even content that is legal fair use. The law doesn't oblige them to keep hosting videos if they don't want to.

Huh. I'm not saying every vtuber should do it or anything, but in general I enjoy seeing overlap and crossovers between my different hobbies and interests.

It's normal for the entertainment industry, it's not healthy by the standards of, like, office supplies or landscaping or something, real businesses that people enter into to make money. But yeah it's probably the mature state of things.

There is an unlimited supply of slop-quality porn, but there's surprisingly little that's creative with good production values. If Bao is doing content that's on a level with her regular streams then she would honestly be raising the bar and carving out a new niche (badum tss). But yeah if she's...

It is, 飲む means drink but also gets used for taking pills for some reason. Nah. They do it for the dream, the fame, and the love of it, that's why so many of them get exploited, just like the regular idol industry.

That's exactly why I don't want to get lots of emails. I check that inbox like once every 3 months, it'll get full.

A lot of them already do though? I mean sure, lore is mostly dropped after the first month and vtubers generally just stick the thinnest veneer of character over talking about their own life experiences, but if you look at just the model and the character (and disregard any "actually a 900 year...

I'm sure people will do redebuts and switch up their content, but I don't think aging up the model is going to be a big part of that - aging down is as easy as aging up, and sanding off the rough edges is normal as you go mainstream. Compare long-running comic books - Batman sometimes gets older...

Doubt it tbh. It would be a rare woman who doesn't want to look eternally 17, and vtubing lets them. If anything redesigns tend to go for more conventionally attractive (which, for women, means 20s at best), since once you're established there's less need to stand out.

You're right, they don't need any new vtubers, they have plenty. What Brave should be doing right now is a thorough restructuring to ensure that each entity is in its proper place in the corporate structure and reassign each of their vtubers to the appropriate subentity where they best fit.

They hashed it out pretty publicly I thought - there's no corpo cut for Fansly, so they have a rule that talents have to do at least as many non-Fansly streams as Fansly streams, or something on those lines.

Checked public records and the company's representative director is indeed 降井　蔵人 (Kurando Furui), FWIW. Also the company's registered capital is only 3 million, so it could easily be just this one guy.

And yet you could name them all, even the ball ones are iconic. You mention e.g. Geodude being just a ball with arms, but you'd recognise him from his silhouette. She probably still owns the copyright and just licenses it to them, but it depends entirely what the contract with them says. You...

Means they merge the company accounts in their accounting reports, as opposed to treating them as investments in a separate company that publishes its own accounts. Japanese accounting standards say that subsidiaries (which in Japan is any company the company owns more than 50% of) should be...

Fairly normal Japanese practice when putting the company under a holding company or similar. They rename the corporate entities that have the right structure, but they have to report the previous names of the corporate entities. The corporate number history will show what happened legally, the...

I like how he uses her full name like 20 times in the article. Is that because it was a condition for the payment from Cover PR or because he can't figure out which is her first name and surname?
