I don't usually wish this kind of thing on people but... how funny would it be if "they" killed "themselves" over Saba doubling down on the loli thing?

@beardalaxy I feel like I once came across a similar image, but with their Holo iterations.

@RealRaul Do you need anyone to come and rescue you from that cage?

Quick question, more out of genuine curiosity than anything else: how do we know that 4chan post is real? Like how do we know the buy actually had any insider information, and wasn't just making shit up? Or the less likely possibility, that he was saying the opposite of reality to lull people into a sense of security?

Didn't the semi-recent hack reveal that the mods were controlled, and something something Israeli IPs? In that kind of an environment, what exactly is it that make people trust this particular post?

Calling Saba an indie vtuber feels as wrong as calling Valve an indie developer. Technically correct. But still feels wrong.

I saw someone coping, that Gura graduated because she was uncomfortable with the child-model... yeah... so much for that theory. And a few more theories were obliterated with this. They definitely pissed me off.

And it keeps dropping... 183k 20 minutes in.

Reached 200k, dropped to 187k 17 minutes in... strange.

@beardalaxy @apropos
Skill issue.

Yeah... so much for the theories that she left cause she was overwhelmed by how much attention she had on her, or issues with the model being too child-like. You don't show your bellybutton on the first stream if you don't want the attention.
I was right though. She'll never be able to escape her fans. If she does want less pressure, fewer fans, a smaller community... she won't ever get it. Especially not like this.

I'll laugh my ass off if after the stream she takes a month long break.

@BasedLunatic Wasps pollinate figs. So if you're a big fan of figs (I hate them personally), say thanks I guess.

@lottev DO THE DEW!

@BasedLunatic Fucking clankers...

Here's a thought: what if the current queer/trans obsession with identify, self-ID, your chosen identity being recognized and respected, also has something to do with internet naming culture.

At some point, we've started seeing trans people being a lot more violent about their pronouns being respected and all of that. So I wonder if the way how they interacted with online culture, and how they transitioned while participating in online communities, influenced things.

Ever since early internet days, we're all used to assuming an online ID, an online name, an online persona, that often has nothing to do with your IRL name, with who you actually are. It's something considered normal and people generally respect these names people chose for themselves (aside from the occasional doxxing). That's how you get someone with a boring name like Carl Benjamin to be called after an historical figure like Sargon of Akkad.

Now mix this internet culture with the trans movement. They're essentially doing the same thing when they transition. They assume new names, new personas. And they get used from how this is treated in the online space, that their personas get recognized and respected as who they are. But somewhere along the way, they forget that when we normal people go IRL, we don't use our online names. They expect their chosen names to continue being respected IRL... which doesn't really go as planned, because you can't hide behind an avatar IRL.

Normal people usually segregate their online selves from their real life selves. But maybe the modern batch of internet raised trans people didn't get the memo. My theory is that a lot of people formed their trans persona while on Tumblr. Then they started emigrating their new trans persona, first in other online spaces (Twitter, Reddit), and finally in real life. So at every step of the way, they expect to be treated like when they first formed their trans identity on Tumblr.

Since Twitter, Reddit, mostly function by the same internet culture regarding naming, they probably didn't get much opposition. After all, you wouldn't know that behind the anime avatar named Sally, is a fat Matt Dillahunty looking guy. So the "respect my pronouns!" mostly works. They got validation in most internet spaces, because the culture simply allows anyone to assume any name they want.

So when they meet real life... of course they'll act like spoiled brats, because the internet essentially did spoil them regarding their self-ID. Of course they react violently to even the smallest accidental misgendering. In their minds, they simply do not even comprehend that their appearance simply doesn't match a "Sally". Internet gave them a skewed view of reality, that they are indeed a "Sally". After all, all the online spaces they participated in called them Sally.

So what do you think? Is my idea a "yay" or a "nay"?

Don't know what's up with me lately, but I keep getting new ideas trying to explain the current cultural/political zeitgeist. It's like randomly being hit with inspiration. And it's really not like me. Whatever...
