Para became white
>>108231606I can understand wanting transparency regarding people's genders. For a lot of people there's at least some level of intimacy between the viewer and the chuuba; The social aspect of VTubing naturally brings people closer together. And obscuring, "lying" about one's birth gender can feel like a betrayal of trust, especially with overtly intimate content like ASMR. A chuuba in this space who doesn't identify as their birth gender could easily be seen as trying to trick people, and some of the more neurotic people in this space can interpret that as a challenge to expose them, to "save people from being taken advantage of". That's why certain people push so hard to make birth genders known, and why those who take offense at the acknowledgement of the inherent differences between the genders end up stoking the fire so potently when they try to push back against it, to the "exposer" they're seen as trying to "maintain the lie" and perpetuate the apparent abuse and manipulation being carried out by the gender special chuuba.

>>108232425israel
>>108232438Got drunk, became sad about her mom, her current life, being a virgin, talked about not wanting g to live anymore.Probably another 30 day ban due to self harm
>>108232438It's been a couple months since her last ban, right? Staff must've figured she was overdue.
ashton is only 634.74 dollars away from putting on a skimpy cosplay and sending us photos
>>108232425This is bullshit
>>108232513>Got drunk, became sad about her mom, her current life, being a virgin, talked about not wanting g to live anymore.damn she just like me fr

Fraiki doesn't take birth control (doesn't trust it) and partially uses her period as an excuse to work from home once a month
>>108232493>>108232502yes again, she broke down crying and made allusions to not wanting to be alive
>>108232551fraiki is so cuteis she the only belgian chuuba?
>Erm you're a danger to yourself>So we will deny you a month of income and access to your communityLol
>>108232546I may be missremembering, but didn't she shove a knife up her cooter when she had a massive schizo episode? Mind you this was ages ago I believe, even before she started streaming I believe.
If top 10 on fansly were normal people ironmouse, squchan and snuffy would have streamed on fansly.
>>108232513>being a virginHave you been in a coma?

>>108232577No it's, you're a danger to yourself, so you will be escorted off the property, go do what you want somewhere else, we don't want to deal with your bullshit and the fallout.
>>108232564honestly im siding with shondo on this one vague comments about being unhappy with being alive shouldn't get you banned off the site
>>108232593yes anon, surely she did that, especially as a child. i can make up lies too like saying your IQ is any higher than 50
>>108232577basically saying you can be a danger to yourself just not here lol
>>108232504it's temporary, you can go kill yourself now.
>>108232623she's white but her ass is black iykwim
remember the kid that domed himself with a shotgun live on twitch and then his mom burst in the room screaming? that is why twitch bans suicidal people
>>108232598Normal people inherently don't have fanslies, Simon, and normal people also don't obsess over whether people have them.
>>108232577>>108232640It's to avoid being liable for their death, like self-driving cars turning off automation a fraction of a second before a crash
>>108232546>>108232600Damn she sure is an amazing and dedicated actress, consistently being capable of maintaining this one particular piece of kayfabe alive even when drunk enough to get banned for loudly voicing suicidal intentions

>>108232762there have been few deaths on kick already>>108232777idc about shondoI'm just giving her advice that if she wants to cry about killing herself (again) and not get banned she can do it on kick

>>108232992time to do that for one more year
>>108232825It's double retarded when you think about it, if anything the fact that she now openly wants to find love and have sex one day is an much more effective way to taunt parasocial shondophrenics than clinging to the retarded Michael shit forever lol
>>108232425Motherfucker, I was looking forward to watch her play routine again. Gotta grab some rope and follow her into the void, bye shiggers.
I will continue batposting in 2026
>>108232881yea man im extremely depressed but videos like that are the most effective anti-suicide shit i've seen. i could never do that to my family
I miss my oshi so much it’s driving me insane
>>108233040>she now openly wants to find love and have sex one dayThat is pretty much the opposite of what she said yesterday and every other time before. She literally talked shit about her own mother and brother for having sex lmao.
I remember that one time when Grimmi said asmongold was mentally ill and that if he cleans up his room and himself, he would not be a chud anymore. I think she was right.
I will dsetroy Layna Lazar
>>108233040Considering that she said she'll kill herself before she loses her virginity, that still isn't happening
>>108233063is she not gonna stream on yt or something?
Everyone should experience sex
>>108233128Probably yeah, I cleaned my room recently and it did wonders for my mental health
>>108233084"Mom would be sad" saved my life at a few points
Where Meat vod
>>108233132I saw what you originally posted.
>>108233161She refuses to stream on any platform but twitch, so if the ban isn't lifted the most she'll do is movie nights in discord.
Honestly I'm kinda glad Saru didn't stream on new years, I actually spent more time with my family than being glued to my PC like last year.
>>108233191I look like this and sound like this and do this
>>108233191kekhttps://files.catbox.moe/zgsp02.webm
>>108233040>the fact that she now openly wants to find love and have sex one dayThat's wrong, she affirmed that she would never have sex because she's too mentally ill to hold a relationship. Even the idea of a virtual pretend one tore her apart when she was expected to do things like have a special stream on Valentine's Day
>>108233197>She refuses to stream on any platform but twitchah ok so I guess any time she wants a break from her fans she can just suicidebait on stream and get a month vacation, nice
>>108233128That was well said by Grimmi, unironically.
>>108233161Probably not, she might do a Discord hangout or two like last time.
>>108233183I was in a locked car at the bottom of a river filled with water and couldn't get out, gave up and accepted death, then my parents crying poped into my head and I got a 2nd wind that allowed me to get out and swim to the surface. That shit works
>>108233128grimmi peterson
>>108233269your parents probably were super happy you made it
>>108233128Asmon would have to stop streaming completely to even begin fixing his mental health, they're too intrinsically linked at this point.
>>108233195fattening Layna until she has a biteable tummy
>>108233164I haven't done anything to deserve it
>>108233269I am glad that you are around us today to tell this tale my ligga
Yes, Shondo's behavior is immature, stop arguing about same shit every time she has drinking stream. holy shit fucking retards
>>108233304No need for that when Bunny exists and already has a biteable tummy
>>108233215it's so cute when girls get all kissy when they're drunk
>>108233294No, because he's been like that long before he started streaming
>>108233285I think it's probably more like Grimmi Horsefeather or Winddreamer
>>108233316Well said bat!
why does asmon make retards seethe so much
>meatheads got cuckedqrd?
>>108233321>>108232092Cucked
>>108233323there was also a really funny point where she was drunkly watching The Watchmen, saw Dr. Manhattan, called him Daddy and went on a 20+ minute rant about how Silk Spectre was a bitch for leaving him, didn't deserve him, and that Dr. Manhattan is just a misunderstood autistic sweet boy and how romantic it is that a guy who sees infinite possibilities would date you.

Genuinely confused about the idea that you have to be a good-looking autist to be likable when there's several instances of chuubas going for autistic mods they've never met in real life

You don't need to be good looking and autistic you just need to be kind And have a kind heart and an uplifting soul.
>>108233746the secret isn't if they look good or not, it's about what the autist got passionate about and if they are mostly positive or mostly negative about their fixation. If they are mostly positive that's a turn on that the guy can be into something that intensely, if it's fixating on the negative its a turn off because it makes you look like a raving schizo.

Considering the medication Shondo has to take and what has happened in the past, her drinking while on those meds and streaming it is extremely retarded and she is extremely retarded.
