So now that Jelly is going full blown chud, will Lumi abandoned her as well?
>>109154397Will Lumi copy her after graduation dating plan?
>>109154948Lumi will stream as normal until she one day panics and closes stream, posts>6 lbs 7 ounces48 hours later and never streams again
>>109155106Who’s the father?
>>109155106that would be kind of hilarious in all fairness
>>109159140>>109161862My garbage queen
Deep Down, Lumi would have been happier as a single child.
>>109163186nah. she wouldn't have seen her parents admit in deed that the way they treated her was wrong. she can end the cycle. the cycle won't continue because it doesn't need to mean anything beyond the reminder that whatever it is, you shouldnt take it out on your kids.
>>109166050But it forces her to admit that being a boy wouldn't have change anything from her life.
>>109166050Sir this is a Lumi threadNot your personal trauma thread Let's stay on topic
>>109166681to the extent that is relevant, it is a good thing. helplessness isn't a path to happiness, just to avoidance. if you can't blame it on factors beyond your control, you shift to what you can. life gets better. even if it hurts at first>>109166814nice projection there buddy
>>109144503where logos fails ethos prevails. might I suggest considering the intent which motivates speech at some point in your assessment of it? unless you intended to white knight pedophiles, in which case carry on.
>>109144439https://youtu.be/7gkzC-5jJDw?si=YpuGQ49CE3NaQ6gyLumi probably knew this behavior for a while. Shiina is open about her mental health, but I wonder if Lumi or Dizzy is the same way. Probably not as crazy as this but how many mental break downs do these girls have in a week?
>>109166681Lumi wanting to be a boy was nothing more than a cope to try and hide how broken she was. She saw her own brother be like her in the end, so she knows there’s something fundamentally wrong with her family.
>>109170445What?
Lumi lets us get away with a lot of shit that would get us blacklisted from other chats, I think it'd be nice if some chatters could take her seriously when she's about to crash out at herself for being a scaredy-cat unless they want her to become depressed for another 6 months like last year.
>>109171594True
>>109171594you're preaching to the choir. autistc retards really not getting the message. the way she screamed during that last game. it wasn't fun scary or even shock. it was painful terror. it even hurt to hear. just basic, entry level emotional empathy was all you needed to immediately realize that we were indulging in sadism. sperging out and jumping down their throats won't achieve anything other than cost moral authority but I'm really not interested in her indulging this degree of deviancy. I'm hardly a prude either.
When will Lumi fulfill her Cain prophecy.
>>109174956pray for Starbro
>>109169586sane people don't go into vtubing>>109171594>depressedsorry for double reply but now that I am actually awake. what do you think triggered it last time? it was bad. I think she wrote a song about it tho.
>>109175676>what do you think triggered it last time?Having consecutive hort, pushing herself too hard leading to more hort. 2024 was the year pcg and a lot of regulars left her for Discord reasons, then in 2025 most regulars started watching other people. I happened to open a second window during the last 2h of her stream and found all of them there after they had their "fun" with Lumi and she knows this is what happens when she becomes cross.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y5td_Q2bEEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN-UkJIJik4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiuBd9C_gYshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdnuzLXijhoThese are all connected from debut to getting her brain scrambled from the parasocial nature of the job and feeling mentally ill because of it, first as a lament and then an attempt to spell it out for us, to finally putting words to what we mean to her
>>109176456night bloom was really on the nose. thanks for the other songs, I will give them a listen. I wasnt there for the early years so figuring out what was what would have been a bitch.>when she becomes crossI hate how she is held hostage to losers bullshit. >consecutive hortwhat type? it happened right after lemon summer almost all at once. all the warmth and vulnerability, poof, gone. call me a schizo retard, I dont care, I have a career of validation behind me so I will just say it. it was like one day someone flipped a switch and she wasnt there anymore. I can always intuit or feel the mind of whoever I am negotiating with/persuading/intimidating/whatever. even if they are better than me. It's still there, just clouded. she was gone. for six fucking months. I felt light maybe 3 times. this couldnt have been a build up cause it wasnt gradual. do we know what triggered it?
>>109176972>what type?Literally projects and covid following the trip which prevented her from doing all the karaoke and recording she wanted. She was basically laying around doing nothing for 6 weeks and it still hadn't cleared up, she almost fucked up her voice permanently
>>109177018wasnt that much earlier? she was sad, very sad, but still there. the freaky I am talking to a god damned zombie shit didnt happen until shortly after the lemon summer stream. it wasnt anger or sadness, it was disinterest. we were became a chore. she wasnt really there. she had good reason to be sad but depression didnt kick in til summer.
>>109177148>wasnt that much earlier?no that was at the end of 2024 unless I'm completely mistaken which made streams sporadic and then she was down in 2025, then valentine's, then Oblivion, a nonstop Gauntlet
>>109177362yeah. she pushed through all of that like a fucking hero. she had a little help from the sidelines to keep her metrics strong and troll the schizo faggots, but at the end of the day, she handled that alone and remarkably well. the sick withdrawals didn't happen until literally right after lemon sunmer. she popped back shortly after the album after a transition period. I assumed she was busy working on the album, but normal people get distracted etc. she was a copy of a copy of a copy. like a fucking screen saver. ironically enough I wrote the last line but didnt think it was going to happen.
>>109174956What caine prophecy?

>>109178526Lovely
where the white woman
>>109184297She gone
delicate and slender lemon woman hands
>>109187279I want her to choke me the same way she choked starbro as a boy.
a thought occurs. lumi might actually not be very smart.
sad that she didn't want to do a nail painting handcam because weirdos (me) might enjoy watching
>>109189983For a woman who’s strong and independent, she sure is insecure.
nevermind this is just her special enjoying her stem autist babies time. god damn it she's so nice.
it's been a ride. try to be nice to her. especially when she seems like she is ragebaiting. she's doing her best.
Some of the twitter fags are trying to target Lumi now. I know she can keep her cool, but let's hope most of the gumis also ignore them.
>>109193411For some reason, lots of political twitter accounts are going after vtubers who are less than ideal. Why?
>>109193493phase has been in certain peoples crosshairs for a long time. now they've been told their shots can land so they are firing freely
>>109193894Is Clara trying to dethrone Lumi or something?
>>109193981Is Clara even around anymore? But no these are some vtweeters who have a hate boner for Phase for letting talents express non leftist views.
>>109193411Lumi has the easiest time out of anyone, literally>Hey btw I said degree, you think I would say the N word on stream?>Chat you know my opsec is better than thatAnd Lumi isn't reliant on sponsorships either, she mostly gets free keys and the occasional gacha sponsor
>>109195923Not to mention that most of it is women
>>109193411I saw that. such faggots. I really hope she is okay. she should be careful. in situations like this never trust anyone. sakana might be trustworthy, but his wife won't let him make an overly major financial sacrifice. now we also know he is retarded which is all the more reason. same with her coworkers.
>>109196561>sakana might be trustworthyClearly not if he's willing to throw Jelly under the bus like that, I don't understand why they had to accuse her of wrong doing rather than apologize on her behalf. Better yet, just not apologizing would have been the better but still. Can't say the hate towards management isn't deserved right now, always have you talents back no matter what.
>>109196647>wrongdoinghold on, I only saw the vague apology. did he use the term "wrong doing"? that makes a material difference.
>>109196780This directly implies that Jelly was actively spreading racism, hatred and bigotry and cultivating that kind of community with her actions. Not legally the same but to someone else it would read the same.
Will you look at that? Jelly is going through a rough time and this backstabbing bitch is saying nothing despite the fact they were business lesbians for yearsSo glad Saruei ghosted her and Clio stole(more like took back) one of her niches
>>109196866I think that was meant as a clarification but you are right. they coulen't leave it at sensitive. had to say racism and bigotry. brain damaged fucking move. all they had to do was lay low. now he's bowed all of phase's head and accepted the validity of the struggle session. smartest thing he can do right now is keep his fucking mouth shut. wait it out. only now it's going to be 10x longer before it is safe to start working with sponsors again.
>>109196993surely you arent stupid enough to think speaking about this would be helpful?
>>109196998That explains it >>109196620room temp IQ sluts in charge of PR
>>109197177blacklist all those broads and just hire actual prostitutes, they are more dignified
>>109197177this can't possibly be true, can it? who the fuck cares what literal prostitutes and the pond scum that work at conventions thinks about any of this? leftoid talents that are unprofessional enough to bring their personal politics into a business decision is believable. it still isnt a reason to listen to their shit ideas. fire them? sure. listen? no.
>>109197382can't run a con without event organizers and vendors (consluts)>>109197368not the worst idea
>>109197368this. unironically this. every single one of them should be banned from ever cosplaying phase again. not now, but before phasecon.
>>109197407anon. cosplayers are, and I'm not joking, almost all part time prositutes. it's very easy to replace them. as for cons? hire someone. don't be a lazy fuck and just hire someone lke a real god damn company.
>>109197474Well thing is most of them do it for free, so there's that. Sakana paying people and building good will was so that they wouldn't be able to get blacklisted, which almost happened twice, and to break free from that ecosystem and build their own like Hololive.
>>109197474Lumi and Dizzy fear their dwindling influence
>>109196993Assmongoloid is getting involved now, outright doxxing Clara and pointing out the hypocrisy of her doing cartwheels over the murder of Charlie Kirk and wishing miscarriages on conservative womenThe fish couldn't have fumbled this any harder
>>109197553dizzy had less business sense than lumi thinks she does. I mean this without any spite or bitchiness. lumi's a lovely human being but her business sense isnt developed enough to be so blindly trusting
>>109197534let's just get to the real issue at hand. but for sakana's gross negligence and reckless indifference for his employees future careers and personal safety, he released an announcement that very predictably (frankly, inevitably would) lead to the release of if lumi a clip that would ruin lumi's life if she gets doxxed. this was an EASILY predictable consequence of his actions. he's /here/ enough to know it too so that's another brainworm.what's even worse? retarded business decision. cold math says multiplying the crisis 10x wasnt worth keeping volunteers. >break free of the ecosystem? do you know why vtubing is so full of drama and such a shit hole? reliance on volunteers. those freaks do this type of shit. phase mods caught anting talents is the tip of the iceburg with "volunteers" this whole thing? all avoidable with just a smidge of fucking professionalism. I hope you are wrong because otherwise sakana threw lumi under the bus for fucking volunteers. she should hire a lawyer her family trusts and getting ready to abandon ship. killing everyone who might be a liability in the process.
>>109197949i think this is overblown a bit but you've got the gist. its these idiots who have the tiniest sliver of leverage leaning on it for all its worth. just get rid of them they aren't worth the trouble to save a dollar
>>109198054I dont think you quite realize the gravity of the situation. I also don't think everyone realizes that at this moment sakana is now quietly lawyered up. quietly so the employees don't do the same and take his word on face value. that's how this works. every. single. time.
>>109197949Each of the volunteers and cosplayers etc do see themselves as a micro influencer garnering an audience, hence why the step from cosplayer to vtuber is so common. But the people they cater to aren't interested in any of that they just want to cause mayhem and channel righteous anger and hate. This is why VTubing is so bizarre, you have people that normally would have no influence whatsoever like artists, but because they're so dependent on them for marketing and assets they have to baby them all the time. Even recently when Shylily went after Sinder, if you read into the situation it was 99% the artists fault but they're treated like a sacred cow throughout the whole ordeal and it nearly cost Sinder's entire career over an exlusivity deal which they then rescinded when the artist didn't want to anymore. They even got paid the same. Some clown world I swear
>>109198295fucking weebs importing practices that only apply because of japanese copyright law. one might almost want to get a job in this sector because of how fucking stupid everyone is on the basic fundamentals. now that trust sakana can be trustex about as far as his fat ass can be thrown, I would say the lines crossed and it would be worth finding an autist to run a competing company rather than consult. the one point I feel the need to retiterate here is that there has been a betrayal. either calculated or worse, incompetence. in the former case the contractors need to protect themselves from legal faggotry. in the later case, they need to protect themselves from further fuck ups. blind faith is no longer appropriate. this is going to hurt like hell to process. it's over.
Will Lumi punish Sakana for his betrayal
>>109198695No, but she does need to get her ducks in a row in case she has to jump ship
>>109198814yup. there's nothing she can do about the clip going public but it is time to be ready. she can finish her album. some whale will cough up if she needs cash because of this. weird things are about to happen in the company and she cannot afford to be doxxed. no more advice giving on the company discord. whatever caused sakana to do this, the threat remains. he may well decide the damage is done and double down.
There's not going to be a redebut or indie phase, this is it unless Sakana and the girls fixes the situation
If Sakana isn't a complete shit head he should offer Lumi and Jelly a way out. Agree to pay up for remaining projects and whatever conditional stuff they might be owed. Purge the servers of anything that can be used against them. Then let them go indie. Coworkers probably fanned the flames that got us here. It isn't safe.
>>109199240I'm rooting for them. I want this to go away. Sakana gave an alchoholic a shot of whiskey. now they arent going to leave until they have torn the place apart. I really don't want to see lumi go. there arent words. but the safest most future oriented thing to do is private all her content and disappear. we owe her enough to not be selfish.
>>109198814She's done it beforeShe went scorched earth last time
>fishman throwing his loyal girls to the wolves over these glorified prostitutesI mean Lumi is a whore too, but a cool whore
>>109200453true enough, but no half measures this time
It's crazy we almost made it through the start of the year without anything going wrong
>>109196993Saru is actually based unliked all the phasegirls who just fake it for clout like pippa and now that the fish bent the fucking knee there's no point to the company anymore beyond>it's a vtuber company>from canada>we have tenma, I guess
I unironically hope she has spent a decade maintaining a spreadsheet of potential grooming targets. if this doesn't give her the kick in the pants she needs to start making herself available, then her fate is ever more entwined with cats than ever.
>>109201047>Saru is actually basedNo offense but Saruei is one of the lowest class women I've ever seen
>>109200952I really hope they don't blame jelly. this would have made phase stronger and provided tge excuse to cut some fat if sakana hadn't done the PR equivalent of shitting his pants at a funeral.
>>109201133Oh and Lumi isn't?
>>109201212No, you fuckin weirdo, I've seen Saruei scratch her pussyflaps on stream for several minutes because she forgot she was live
>>109201212yes, you mouth breathing mongoloid faggot. you wouldnt know class if cock slapped across a ten million dollar a plate charity dinner.
>>109201315>>109201321>muh hecking lum lum is a classy femcelYou morons are just fooled by her painfully fake valley girl accent, Lumi is every bit as trashy as Ember and the worst the indy scene has to offer
>>109201493Lumi's love for her brother is pure, Saruei doesn't know what pure is.
>>109201493this is going to boggle your mind. not all of us are basement dwellers. some of us have normal lives. some have extraordinary lives. she held managed to hold my attention to the point I didn't feel like having sex with the usual crowd of 8s that throw themselves at people in my position. the fact that I am unironically white knighting her right now alone speaks volumes. sorry about whatever happened to turn you into an anti. you fucked up.
>>109201528>brotherYou mean her boyfriend who plays Oblivion Remastered on her work computer?>>109201704>she held managed to hold my attention>good marning saar, 8s throw them selfs at me, please believeWhy are literally every gumi some kind of ESL? Is it because her model has blonde hair?
>>109202085it's because I am taking zero chances of my posts getting linked to my professional writing.
>>109202085forgot to also call you a retarded poorfag for thinking anyone with anything to lose would be as fucking stupid as you.
>>109202148>>109202262Sure, you're a regular John GrishamThat's why you're simping over a medium tier MARRIED vtuber in a medium tier company run by a chinese fish from canada
christ I feel so bad for lumi. I hope she is doing okay. I can't help but concern.
>>109202499I think this is Sakana's attempt to reign in his talents. They were getting too big in their positions.
>>109202578elaborate? too big in what way? I am literally mystified by how this could be some coherent business strategy.
just to lighten the mood. lumi isnt quite into tarot cards as a superstition. fair enough. however, what the fuck are the chances? for lumi specifically
After careful review, I think she actually just said "stupid fucking degr-" and I'm kinda let down
>>109202578okay. there is one possible 4d chess move. if clara was a source of internal dissent, this would be the perfect way to gaslight her into resigning. thereby avoiding a rebellion from other girls who are woke enough to perceive firing clara as political, but otherwise sane enough to not let politics effect work. meanwhile, jelly was already taking flak from the trannies. the apology would intensify things, but her fans would only love her even more for it in the long run. a calculated trade. except her hurt lumi in the process and should therefore kill himself.
>>109201315Link?
>>109156194Jelly
>>109206694He's just an anti. Don't believe him.
lumi is brilliant enough to deserve we do for her what she does for us. damned if it didn't feel icky tho. will apparently need to work on the ego. good job everyone. go with God.
>>109178300Read the Bible. It's one of the first stories.
>>109207221I know about Caine and Abel, I just want to know why some anons are saying she's destine to kill her brother
nuking Clara was already planned but this was honestly the move if there ever was one that didn't require several weeks of battling
>>109200558Don't lie, you would do the same thing
>>109209459Nta, and Lumi hates me for this but I'd never throw my friends, trusted coworkers or employee to the wolves like that. You'd be amazed at how much people respect you when you handle these things in private and then tank the miniscule public fallout, that's called leadership
>Sakana stabs Jelly in the back>Lumi finally ousts Clara from PhaseAre we in a civil war?
>>109209922They already know they can't run Phase without Invaders
>>109209682You have no idea what's actually going on.
>>109212772enlighten me enlightened one
I never paid attention to the wider vtubing stuff, but is this really a big deal? I don't see how this would nuke the company. Also, Lumi has said that they don't really have competition, I'm worried that if Phase actually implodes, she's just not gonna bother starting anew.
>>109213095>Also, Lumi has said that they don't really have competitionShe said the same thing when she was in Cyberlive.
