pls stop being mean to my oshi, my second oshi zoey manager even told you all to
>>111590343who?
>>111590343>vtuber manager
>>111590343Then she should work on having a personality. If the model looking good is your only value than changing it is a massive mistake. Not telling her is far more cruel than the insult itself.
>>111590343But she loves telling her clients to farm drama for clout?
>>111593023>she
>>111590343you know it's not going well when you need your manager to vaguepost about the heckin parasocials not doing a positivity
>>111596093Engagement bait
>>111590343>When your manager is menhera Grim
>>111592494Her personality IS strong that's why everyone is bewildered that she threw away branding that matched her well
>>111596093It isn't even parasocial. Any outside observer can tell when something isn't hitting the mark.
>>111590343Suck my dick in hell may chaos take the world
>>111590343Imagine having a 2.0 so bad it becomes the biggest VTuber drama cycle of the week.
I actually like the 2.0 model
>>111600317Rin failing repeatedly has always been the best part of her streams.I want to believe she can turn this into content too.
Sex with rin penrose, the hag who is autistic and her parents are rich.
>>111599097Well if you're gonna hire a troon it's to be expected.
>>111602066It's a fine model. It's pleasing to look at, well rigged, etc, etc. If she were debuting from scratch, nobody would blink. But because it's meant to be a replacement, people are going to compare it to the previous model which is objectively much better.
>>111599204being an annoying faggot is not a personality
>>111613270All she had to do was keep the same hair and eye colors and way less people would be complainingAs she is if you showed 1.0 and 2.0 to random people nobody would be able to tell they were the same vtuber
>>111613333yeah the red-blue heterochromia was one of her biggest visual identifiers, I don't know why she nuked herself in that way
>>111613333Why do chuubas keep doing this shit
>>111590343Rin is cute
>>111613396it's what we call a 'woman moment'they get envious of other vtubers have new trendy models and convince themselves that they need a big rebrand because their current model doesn't fit with how they view themselves now (in reality they've just been sucked in by trends)indie vtubers in particular have deluded themselves into believing that their model(s) reflect something deep and important about their personal identitythis is why corpo restrictions are often good. if someone like kronii told management she wanted to change to a flat-chested green-haired lolibait model they would laugh at her because it's a stupid idea and no one would care if she complained about it.
>>111613333Oh was it about fucking Rin?I saw the Merryweather tweet and figured it was someone shifting to western art or something who gives a shit about Rin?It's more generic but it's not ugly at least.
>>111617585>who gives a shit about Rin?Clearly a ton of people because everyone keeps talking about itLike right noiw
>>111590343I think it's safe to say that the majority thinks that the rebrand was absolutely dogshit now.Good, she needs to know it too.
>>111613396>>111617491Yeah, it's basically woman moment. Sometimes it's just plain ass boredom with their look and they want to throw on a new face like in real life someone would redo their wardrobe. Sometime it's brain worms like a constant dissatisfaction with themselves that they attempt to fix by changing their external appearance instead of looking inward. There's one chuuba i follow that has basically rebranded herself both in outfit and in character type every 12-18 months since she started 4 years ago.>>111617585It's an outsized reaction partly because of Rin's status as a very visible LGBT-identifying vtuber who made a mark by being a masculine femboy in a sea of cute lolis, buxom titty monsters, and strange monster girls. Now she's gone for a pretty basic looking but very feminine girl model while still calling herself with male pronouns. So some people feel a betrayal of her identity, some people are rah rah do whatever you want slay queen, and some people are quietly backing away because they got so attached to the boyish model that the girly-er one throws them off.
>>111590343Is it me, or are a ton of only slightly related people on Twitter more offended by the backlash than Rin herself seems to be
>>111613313It is a personality if you're a streamer trying to keep an audience interested
I really don't care about this androgynous mancollaber weirdo
The superior autistic Rin
>>111620508Let's be real, half of her popularity comes from her begging and gaming the shorts algo well.Watch her live and she's fucking boring as shit.
>>111620723Sexo
>>111621039I watched a vod of her playing the joke game about pressing a button in a room. The way she would try to do one bit or another about antagonizing the game designer got pretty irritating real fast. Then the parts where she riffed about moments in the game reflecting what she does in her real therapy sessions made more eyebrow raising than sensible chuckles
>>111617491>indie vtubers in particular have deluded themselves into believing that their model(s) reflect something deep and important about their personal identityIt’s the opposite here. That’s how people interpret the first model (that she had major input on designing) and see the indie model as shallow preference
>>111602066>I actually like the 2.0 modelThe new design is good but the fans who liked the boyish prince design are the ones who are upset with Rin Penrose for switching over to a more feminine idol design. I do think the EN vtuber market is declining and that most vtubers are going to be getting lower numbers over the next year regardless of their actions.
>>111622139I can see vtubing declining somewhat especially with the tanking economy but I think it will probably be a hollowing out of the mid-tier ones with the hyper popular chuubas still having a sustainable income and the 2view hobbyists still having fun with it as a side thing.Another thing working against the virtual space is the broad undercurrent of a push towards analog things and in-person connections as a reaction to the last 15 years of social media weariness and AI slop.
>>111622139I don't think it's declining. There's just way too fucking many vtubers the collective viewers get spread thin.
we love rin
>>111624728I don't, and I don't feel bad for her getting roasted as a byproduct of making her whole identity around pandering to mentally ill losers and online activists.
>>111624907>whole identity around pandering to mentally ill losers and online activists.you just described every vtuber
>>111590343fuck you faggot
>>111620723Rin blowjob
>>111611914Of course Rin's manager is trans. She is such a walking talking stereotype of wokeism. She and Ironmouse seem like they'd get along well.
>>111620723Bestg Rin
>>111624907Rent free
>>111590343Zoey means it's a trans.
