>>93879539https://x.com/vaz_official/status/1880595165615886636Mikeneko is now affiliated with VAZ, a YouTuber production company
>>93884321Exclusive contract? I'm lost in what she's in or is partnered with at this point. I just learned that the VA agency VOICE-ORE, that she joined in July 2023, disbanded less than a year later. Does she still have her other persona in 910 Inc. (prev. Wactor)? Her last stream there was on Nov. 7 2024. The Twitter account for that persona made a couple of tweets for the rest of that month before falling silent... Until January 8 to call out an anti, like she did on Nazuna's.
>>93884816This and wactor seems to be it, think she went on hiatus as a whole around november which is why the activity stopped. Can't be arsed to be dig any deeper

>>93893845Not a termination: https://x.com/sockshr/status/1880658779567731189The timing is indeed baffling though.

>>93894654Inis said TERMINATION in the first minute of her stream that she started a couple hours agoApologize
>>93893211>>93902079Too many crying girls in my feed!Meh, Inis is continuing on as an indie, relatively uninterrupted. Silvi seems to be leaving vtubing in favor of her music. Not real clear on exactly what happened to either of them. Seems like some sort of toxic social situation for Silvi, maybe more fed up by the internal vtuber community than anything else, but both are being pretty vague.>>93894654She literally titled the stream "i got terminated and stuff". She certainly thinks she was terminated. Dunno what the company is calling it.
>>93879539New vtuber agency Idol Verse, still in the applications stage, decided to make their logo a right facing blue Dorito. They have since apologized profusely and switched to a star:https://xcancel.com/IdolVerseInc/status/1880262902449570292#m(Crazy Idea: Hire a graphic designer.)
>>93917439They could have done the funniest thing and switch it into a rainbow.
>>93914891>>93879642>Seems like some sort of toxic social situation for Silvi,She was allegedly part of the EIEN management along with Eri.
>>93917439That logo looks like its for kindergarteners
>>93917439>(Crazy Idea: Hire a graphic designer.)It's amazing how few people realize that SOME of the artistic professionals are actually worth their money.

>>93879539VFleet Project announces the decomissioning of the Alexa-01 battleship:https://xcancel.com/VFleetProject/status/1879976487639785760(I'm not sure if they've wiped her accounts or she just really didn't have anything yet.)
>>93917439Holy shit that logo is painfulYou can find a logo artist on VGen for like $30 dudeAlso one of the replies mentioned that their talents are "copies of other vtubers" and various people are questioning their legitimacy.So I did a little scrollinghttps://x.com/KomoFumiIV/status/1876938841149305035Very obvious Ironmouse copy. This appears to be their sole existing talent.They also appear to have some kind of relationship with Ai Aidoru, who recently got some attention for running defense for Bondlive.https://x.com/ai_aidoru/status/1876044548948025398And are involved with IRIAM to some degreehttps://x.com/KomoFumiIV/status/1876196220844364079The person running the company account also kinda just... uses it like their personal account?Perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but I'm gonna go ahead and say "black company"Possibly fake company
>>93928897It was also mentioned that this might be their 3rd rebrand and they previously ripped off VShojo.https://x.com/EliseThornheart/status/1880370384224321766It's likely just a scam that intentionally draws drama with obvious plagiarization.>They also appear to have some kind of relationship with Ai AidoruThat's hilarious, that bitch is naive as hell. I believe she probably got taken advantage of by her "friends" at bondlive to run damage control for them, and now she's naively vouching for an obvious scam corp?It doesn't really imply "some kind of relationship" other than maybe they were concerned and reached out to the owner, who then totally assured them nothing was awry, and she believed it because she's retarded.Do we know who the supposed owner of this agency is? I don't see any links or company info.
Took a bite of a fat delicious rrat. Juuuuuuuiiiiiiiiicccccy. Not sure if I can share, I may have to keep it all for myself.
>>93930221Also, their YouTube channel is based out of Austria, but publicly they claim to be based out of the US and Japan. Definitely strange.https://x.com/IdolVerseInc/status/1880173975982207008
>>93930221>Do we know who the supposed owner of this agency is?This is a *complete* rrat on my part, however I noticed that the company account and the Komo Fumi account type in similar ways. It appears the original announcement of the agency, which is now deleted, featured two other talents, but only this one has made an appearance.So I think they're the same person.The only other person attached to this company is an artist named Lumehttps://x.com/Lume_ShinzouSeems like a normal account>>93931028They've also tweeted in Indonesian, with hashtags suggesting EN, JP and ID branches of the company.They're also clearly ESL so being based in the US is hard to believe.

Nimi news she is the whitest woman alive.
>>93902079>>93946147I'm not watching a 3 hours crying stream either. But there's a tweet.Indie Owl VTuber Silvi Mikazuki announces that she'll greatly reduce her streaming activities to focus on music and singing instead. She says she had enough of being taken advantage of for the past 4 years by supposed friends, and the ever-growing expectations of her community are stifling.https://x.com/SilviVtuber/status/1880725618746401114

>>94019333Can I get a tl;dr of the entire situation? Because I saw some of the Nijisister are accusing Doki of not controlling her fandom while doxxing one of Twitch staff
>>94021336with what proof you idiot, dont spread rrats for no fucking reason
>>94021489Alright, no need to throw words here. So basically it's all false then? No one is doing anything important?
>>94021336TLDR twitch rivals teams are limited points, which are assigned based on your rank, but because marvel rivals is so new, the ranks don't actually mean much so you get situations where four esports pros have the same point value as four random noobs, which is what caused the hub hub. Pretty much everything else is reactions to that
