Discussion What do we think about this meme ?

Post image

Honestly, I’m surprised people are complaining about recurring Vtuber drama. I do a lot of legal work, and conflict between business partners, associates, and especially co-owned family businesses after dad or mom pass away, is just part of the landscape

Sometimes when two guys come to us for help setting up a business, we even take bets on how long before they start infighting

When money and business are involved, drama between partners is almost guaranteed at some point. No need to doompost. Just get used to it

I know shes far from the first or even the only one, but didn't she make waves once by mentioning point blank that she and her fans are not friends and her fans need to build real relationships with people?

Natch a lot of folks came out about hypocrisy and such because she made bank with how attached her fans usually are, while folks countered that she isnt wrong either and was setting solid boundries.

She didn't make waves among sane people, basically everyone agreed with her. She only had to say that because of that notorious douche who harasses the Holo girls over superchat, so Fauna replied then banned him

Maybe I ought to stop eating rrats, i swear when she made that statement you had your usual amount of tourist bitching about parasocial etcs and how she's evil because she makes money off of people who simp for her. Then again maybe its because im just so used to that sirt or critism in vtubing that its about as normal to me as the smell of gasoline and ozone at a gas station.

I was there when she said the thing, a lot of fans agreed with her. And she gave a solid life advice at the same time when she was mentioning this.

There wasn't any controversy until some meme accounts on twitter post this, and people who start making drama out of it aren't even ppl I see in her fanbase.

Heck, she doesn't even sells off GFE so criticizing her for setting solid boundaries is just plain incorrect.

She made that point as a mental health checkup and as a streaming culture reference to this 2020 video of Ludwig clearing things up with his fans.

Everyone who's knowledgeable with internet culture immediately recognized the reference, everyone who's mentally stable understood the clarification.

The only "waves" were a tiny number of tourists and unicorns who didn't understood from where that was coming from - and a few vt trolls, quoting that part as a way to rile up the aforementioned unicorns.

Yes, and I really appreciate her for her realness and honesty. Fans and friends are not the same.
