Disclaimer: All names contained in this post have been deliberately made public by the person themself.

Dooby never explicitly said her name on stream, as far as I know. While “bragging” she even said “it doesn’t matter, you guys are gonna find my name anyways”, so it felt like she didn’t even really want people to find out. I don’t think that’s “deliberately making it public”.

And about the main topic, I’m actually pretty sure that they could talk about it if they wanted (like Dokibird did, although that was Niji), they just choose not to because… what would be the point? Pretty much everyone who watches Dooby/Keeki/Kson and the likes knows who they are/were. I just see it as a way to “separate” the two environments, not anything that’s actually enforced. It’s not like anyone wanting to hire Kson wouldn’t know about her past anyway.

What is enforced is the reverse, they can’t talk about private details on Hololive streams (and that’s why Ame couldn’t talk about the Emmy or her parents being cuban), but that’s just to “keep kayfabe” and avoid stalking issues.

I don’t really keep up with Dooby so this is a genuine question - do you have a source for this? I’d love to confirm it from her rather than taking it on faith.

It’s in her Debut stream (1:01:15 if the timestamp isn’t working)

And as far as I know companies don’t forbid talents from talking about that stuff at all, people like Dokibird would be sued to hell and back if that was forbidden. A lot of talents (Kiara, Matsuri, Noel for example) have accidentally called themselves with “the wrong name” on their PL account and nothing happened afaik. The only thing I know is forbidden is to bring official hololive material into private streams, like Aloe/Delutaya accidentally did.

Well, to be fair they still have a lot of fans and there’s not many competitors, so it could definitely happen.

I’d absolutely love to see nominations be the same as last year but with Niji replaced by, idk, Phase Connect or Voms though lol

Yup, it seems pretty big… and it’s not like they debuted THAT many talents in that period, how did they manage to screw up payments for 29 contractors?

Hopefully now it’s all sorted out, considering the stuff Anycolor already does, if Cover was found to be doing shady stuff too it would be a big trust problem in the industry, both for talents and riggers/artists.

It already went to 25k concurrent Steam Players… love to see well-crafted games get the support they deserve.

And I also love this:

Skill name of FPS Mastery has been changed to “The Ame Way”.

:’)

Turbo my beloved. I gave a listen to some of them and I loved it, A New Start is probably my favorite but they were all pretty good, as expected. Also on a side note, the little gifs are really cute too!

It feels pretty weird to have such a polite/formal interview drop the word “normies” twice, but I guess it gets the point across so…

Slightly better translation from google:

▪︎A simple walk almost killed me

I came to Mt. Fuji.

I couldn’t see Mt. Fuji.

I decided to take a walk since I’d come all the way.

I turned the forest into a karaoke venue and sang to my heart’s content.

Maybe I could make it to the foot of Mt. Fuji.

I kept walking with this expectation in my heart.

On the way, I passed a similar sign and trees and wondered if I was looping around the same place?

I got excited thinking that.

There was no way that was the case.

There was no one in the forest.

I arrived at a teahouse, but it was closed for the day.

I put 10 yen at the mini shrine and said Thank you for your beautiful voice.

I’ll sing a lot.

I finally reached the hiking trail.

It seems to be called “Uma Kaeshi”.

It was named after a horse that once turned back from here.

If I turned back here, I’d be just like the horse.

I was frustrated, so I stepped a little further in.

There were stairs and a torii gate, and stones piled up.

It was mystical, but I felt like I wouldn’t be able to go back if I went in, so I gave up.

I looked around but there was no one there. There were no buses heading back.

My phone’s battery was below 30%.

It wasn’t dark yet.

I’d make it in time.

While I was thinking that, it was already pitch black.

I walked all the way down the concrete road.

I fell over on the cracked and shattered ground.

I sang a song to myself, feeling like I was about to give up.

I turned on the light on my cell phone.

I remembered the bear warning signs I’d seen countless times, but I sang even though I was scared.

The concrete road was completely devoid of cars.

I returned to the teahouse. I greeted the mini-shrine I’d visited on the way there with joy, and took a rest on a bench.

Then I realized, I couldn’t find my location on the map.

I’d better hurry home.

This is what they mean when they say it’s fine to go there, but scary to come back.

I kept walking without looking back.

My breath went white, and I felt my body getting cold. I warmed myself up with some gin, the god of Mt. Fuji, that I’d bought at a convenience store on the way there.

I clutched it like a charm and sang along well.

I was so happy to finally find a sign.

It said that if I followed the “Yoshida Route” I could get home.

I cried and thanked the complete stranger Yoshida.

If I took this path I’d definitely get home. I felt a deep sense of relief.

I kept walking while sobbing.

I was so relieved that the tears wouldn’t stop.

Just as I was starting to feel refreshed, I saw lights on a road where not a single car had passed.

If this were a horror movie, they’d make you feel safe and then trick you, so I wasn’t going to be fooled.

I had time to think about such things.

My battery was at 9% and I didn’t know where I was.

If I kept going like this I’d really be lost.

I might get eaten by a bear.

This was a life-or-death situation.

I mustered up all my courage and hitchhiked.

But the world isn’t an easy place.

But if I’m lucky, I’ll hitchhike!

I tried many times, but when I thought about it carefully, I saw a mysterious woman waving with a light in one hand. It was clearly a frightening sight.

My dream of hitchhiking never came true.

Don’t depend on me, just walk.

Car lights are 100 times better than a pitch black road with no light.

In fact, when the cars stopped passing by, I even felt lonely.

I turned off the light on my cell phone to save battery.

I relied on the occasional car light.

My feet were already throbbing.

But walking was the only way home.

I wondered how far I had walked.

I was finally able to return.

Even though I had wanted to be in touch with nature so much, I had overdosed and began to miss the modern world.

When I passed people in the city.

When I bought a drink from a vending machine.

When I arrived at the station and visited a shop.

I was embarrassed, but I also felt relieved.

This is an easy way to time travel.

When I took off my shoes at the shop to check the size, my socks were covered in blood.

No wonder they got hurt on the street.

I bought a pair of slippers that looked comfortable.

At the souvenir shop, I bought a bag for my discarded shoes.

I felt like I had thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Mt. Fuji.

The shop assistant even gave me a plastic bag to put my shoes in.

I was also able to charge my phone in a closed cafe.

This was a life-or-death situation, so I was saved.

Thank you so much.

I couldn’t see Mt. Fuji, and I hadn’t even started climbing it yet

Even just the walk in the forest was an epic day.

Not bad for a first time on Mt. Fuji!

I’ll get my revenge someday.

Just wait for me! Mt. Fuji.

…what the hell, Haachama. Thank god nothing bad happened lol

Yep, every time Dems can’t get enough votes from the left to win, because they aren’t “left/pure enough” for them, what they learn is to shift to the right to find votes.

And can you blame them? Who do you think is more efficient catering to, the right-wing idiot who went to vote for a rapist felon or the self-proclaimed leftist that didn’t vote to stop fascism because they didn’t like the alternative enough?

These last elections were already “right vs far right”, following ones are 100% going to be even worse. When the right wins, shifting left makes no logical sense.

Is the bgm really loud on this one or is it just me?

Anyway, repeats (and their descriptions) are always great nonetheless.

I haven’t really followed the first gen and I’m not a fan of the designs, but if they’re as good at singing as them I’m definitely not gonna complain.

Not my favorite genre but I like how broadway-ish it feels, it really sets it apart from most other group songs.

Counting the “special episodes”, FWMC Morning already lasted longer than Asacoco. That’s incredible, mad props to them.

only affect change if they become violent (see george floyd)

Did those even change anything, actually? I just remember some statues being torn down and the police just doing their business as usual. They also need to be aimed at the correct targets for them to be effective.

No Rushia is kinda sad but understandable.

I still didn’t find the time to consistently play it but I’m glad development keeps progressing, Kay Yu & co really are saints for doing all of this for free.

Your effort did definitely make a difference, whether it’s enough of a difference to justify it is up to you.

In the end, if you’d rather invest your time in stuff that brings more gratification that’s a completely valid and healthy choice, time is limited and you should do what you like the most with it. Hopefully as Reddit keeps screwing up more and more, it will start to be more lively here and posting stuff will feel more rewarding too.

VRChat events are usually fun, looking forward to this one!

Well, looking at the last month we have 249 users and 3 posters (5 if we count people who only posted once), so the rule kind of applies.

I can see it’s disheartening indeed (and I wish I could help more, but I’m not on Xitter and don’t have much time even to watch stuff so I would realistically just spam Jshay clips lol), but unfortunately it’s hard to move a community as big as r/hololive (especially considering they have the huge advantage of talents seldom posting there). Maybe with time (and more people getting tired of Reddit) the situation will get better and there will be more posters, in the meantime I can guarantee I appreciate your effort and I’m sure others do too.
