To all my fellow
#VTubers
out there, a cautionary tale.
If you have someone very suddenly try to involve themselves with you and your community and your stream and work really REALLY hard to get close to you, consider that they might just have their own agenda.
A thread. 1/9
@studionekomata
Question: if you're selling at cost then how will you make revenue on the Niji merch? Not accusing you of anything, just wanted clarification in case I'm misunderstanding.
Oh hey!
#trans
is trending! What a great time to remind you all that there's nothing wrong with being your truest most authentic self and in case you haven't heard it today: I love you and I'm happy you're still with us. Get out there and enjoy life! ๐คโฅ๏ธ

It's been an alarmingly common thing for a long time, honestly. Going after sponsors is a tactic that gets used by hate mobs, but also other creators. Keemstar has done it, Ethan from h3h3 has done it, the list goes on and on.
As a content creator I stand by my rejection of reactionary attitudes and a preference to hear all there is to hear about things before forming an opinion, and I think that dissuades people from trying to drag me into stuff. Some of my friends, tho, have gotten messages. 2/9
These kinds of people will love bomb you and behave in a borderline parasocial manner to try and earn your trust. They're just so nice, after all! Then when they're nice and cozy they suddenly notice someone in your community, a person that you might have been friends with 4/9
We can make the community a safer place, but we gotta speak up for ourselves. To subject
#1
of the thread: this is about you~
๐ถBeware, beware be skeptical
Of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold
Deceit so natural
But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning~ 9/9
Messages from a person I won't name, but there's a real chance they're reading this. Them and their friends. Hello if you are. I see you there and I hear what you're saying in DMs. I hear it because people know me and trust me when accusations creep up surrounding my friends. 3/9
already, or else just started talking to you. They really want you to know all this juicy gossip & they'll probably stop talking to you once you either ostracize that person or ignore the gossip. You see these are the kinds of people who will destroy a person's social circles 5/9
Always listen to people who speak about being a victim. That comes first and foremost. However, that doesn't mean just trust them implicitly. Do your due diligence. If it's someone I interact with check in with me. I know what's going on with a lot of my friends and will find 7/9
before they let them know peace and freedom. They know the kind of person they are, but they don't want other people knowing. So they chase down every last safe space a person has and poison it against them. So what do the rest of us do? Well, it's actually pretty simple. 6/9
out if I don't. If you've gotten gossip about a friend of mine like this let me know because there's a real chance that it's the very thing that sparked this thread. If you're a victim of someone who's like the person I described talk to me. If you have proof all the better. 8/9
@SyberSaltyy
She's not trying to have you mass reported. She's not trying to stop you from being your edgy little self. She's just washed her hands of you. SOMEHOW someone saying "I'd rather not talk to you" has just set you off.
And now you're acting like a clown in front of everyone.
@HalfPintMobster
@HitishiTheFox
@Khyomaru
Pulling a stunt like that when you have sponsors is certainly "unwise" to say the least. She certainly doesn't have room to complain considering she chose to do that. No one made her.
Alright alright! Calling all
#Vtubers

It's really telling that some of the most liked replies are from artists educating you on why that take was so inappropriate and you decided to play the victim.
You were wrong. Simple. All you had to do was say "my bad, I didn't realize this was what the art scene was like."
The number of the beast is here and so a contract comes to bear. The lovely and talented artist

I guess this is gonna be a thread
Casual reminder that the brown & black stripes are for POC & those who have or who died from HIV/AIDS.
There were Black Panthers at Stonewall. When you celebrate Pride you're celebrating a protest that was kicked off by a black trans woman. 1/5

Don't think we don't see y'all
I officially hit 1,500 followers on Twitch! I know my page has said 1.5K for a while, but it's real now! On top of that my Affiliate Anniversary is in two weeks! We have to celebrate and I'm excited to kick off a whole 'nother year of streams with you all!

When I met him the first thing Neil said was โAstarion approves? Astarion DEFINITELY approves Darling!โ And then signed the flag โYouโre not alone in this. None of us are! Trans Rights darling! Love Astarion (Neil Newbon)โ
Before I go to bed, I see AMAB is trending and it's an important time to remind people that AMAB or AFAB it's none of your fucking business. Ask someone their pronouns and gender if you must, but you don't need to know their birth sex.
Fucking leave trans people be, shit dude.
My heart is aflutter. I'm fucking crying. I said it yesterday and I'll say it again:
Thank you.
Tysm to everyone who's helped me get here. I want so badly to make this my living and now I'm one big step closer. Partner might take me longer, but I'll make it. Stay tuned ๐คโฅ๏ธ
@ShilohBat
Lordy, I mean first of all you don't rush in like that. Secondly, you tell me everything you know about Bionicle lore. If you can fill an hour with that then the stockings come off. Then it's on to phase two.
@ThatsBoSheep
Apparently they made Sebastian a girl to make the scene with him and Astarion straight which a commentor pointed out means they trans'd a whole character to make one scene straighter to fix how queer the game is.
And the gold medal for mental gymnastics goes to!
The "I can't say no for 24 hours. Post if you're not chicken" is so monstrously uncomfortable to me.
I mean, the inability to refuse things I'm not comfortable with? Yikes. The fact that the post implies that you're a coward for not doing this? Fucking YIKES, dude.
I said I was done talking about Wizard Game, but things just keep getting worse. CW threats, r*pe, violence, doxxing
As a trans vtuber, if you think doxxing someone and their loved ones and telling them "your time is up" & they'll "end up in a bodybag" over playing this game 1/3
@silencedrowns
@Crunchyroll
The really sad part? It wasn't even a money thing. IIRC Kyle confirmed the pay was in line with a union job. They literally just heard "union" and dropped him like a bad habit.
@KyoharuVT
I would be pissed. Even tho I'm not lewd I can be a bit flirty sometimes and that's why I mark my streams as mature and my Twitter is 18+ MDNI. If I was suddenly told "hey your gen mate is a minor and you're going to have to collab with them" I would be through the roof pissed.
Congrats to everyone who found themselves, and to everyone still waiting: it's never too late. Buy that skirt, those jeans, the makeup, the aftershave, the jacket. Change your name, your pronouns, anything you want. Whatever it takes. Be your truest, most authentic self. ๐คโค๏ธ
@darlingstrawbie
We really don't respect PNGtubers enough. Even the people who are like "I don't have a problem with them" like yeah, that's cool. "Accepting" them is cool and all, but if you refuse to work with them you're not *really* accepting them.

@Khyomaru
I've heard some of the accusations against her and I know that some of them have been discredited and some just cropped up with no evidence to begin with. Either way, I'm not a fan of the way she's handled this situation and she's definitely in the "finding out" part of it all.
Casual reminder that not only will I not buy or stream
#HogwartsLegacy
, but I will not be raiding anyone streaming it or engaging on it with anyone who raids in after playing it. I've spoken about my strained feelings towards the IP before & I don't intend to rehash them. 1/3
I'm 30, I'm a non-binary trans femme who thinks gender is cringe, but girl is a vibe, and I've been on HRT since February 22nd 2022
I'm thrilled with my body and who I've become and I'm excited to continue living my life
I'm 34, I'm a trans man with genderfluid tendencies, and I am unable to explore HRT options for multiple health reasons.
But you'd better believe I'm out here โ vibing my vibe, living my life, and making beautiful art with other beautiful humans in an ugly world~๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธโจ๏ธ
So news flash: According to a survey that looks over stats for all Twitch channels (partner/affiliate/or not) 93.3% of all channels that have or currently do exist pull in 5 or fewer viewers. So, if you feel bad about your view count being low, you may actually be in the top 6.7%
-Wizard Game releases
Trans folk: *protests game*
TERF crowd: It's just a game lol no need to get political!
-Wizard Game gets no noms at Game Awards
TERF crowd: HOW DARE YOU NOT NOMINATE IT YOU'RE PANDERING TO THE LEFT!
Trans Folk: It's just a game lol no need to get political!
@OSPyoutube
I love the attitude is "WOAH! I CAN'T BELIEVE RED WOULD SAY SUCH A WILD/STUPID THING! HOW RIDICULOUS! WHO WOULD BELIEVE THAT?"
When the movie came out people were already suspecting that it was a bit racist. The incredulity is what really gets me, tho.
