Damn, in the days of yore (a few years ago) this kind of tomfoolery took considerable effort, now it only takes a few klicks on the app.

Makes you wonder about all those VTubers.

VTubers are almost entirely in the voice. I've never been into VTubers, but when friends I have exposed me to them, they all had extremely feminine voices, which is pretty hard to fake. Not impossible, but even skilled falsettos, you can usually tell, and they have a more limited range than VTubers tend to display.

As best as I can tell, a strong dose of femininity is the single most relevant aspect of what brings interest in VTubers.

This is a western comic, but I don't want to create a new thread for it and this seems to be the closest place to put it.

A short (can read the whole thing in an hour) western comic about bunnies who live a social credit dystopia. Is pretty cute and funny, and a little frightening.

Inb4 she starts getting penalized for reading it. She should get a physical copy.

Hololive and Holostars are definitely female and male respectively. Besides there being videos still out there of quite a number of the Hololive girls from before their joining Cover, it's a hiring requirement that Hololive and Holostars applicants be actually female and male, respectively.

Plus, on the JP side of the Vtuber world, male Vtubers who use female avatars are open about it and have an actual term for it, babiniku (short for virtual bishoujo juniku [bachuaru bishoujo juniku] or virtual pretty girl incarnation. Examples of the ones who use voice changers are male illustrator ukyo_rst (aka VTuber Maoh Magurona) and the author of No Game No Life, Yuu Kamiya (he uses the same name for his VTubing). Examples of those who DON'T use a voice changer are Note Takehana (illustrator for LN and recent anime The Hidden Dungeon Only I Could Enter) and the duo Rimu to Maki (who are Rimukoro, the creator of The Helpful Fox Senko-san manga/anime, and Maki-hitsuji, one of the illustrators for Azur Lane). Can't say anything about Western VTubers though.

Remember when Burger King had that #WhopperFreakout ad campaign?


Feel free to laugh. No one died lol.

Some peeps might've been traumatized though.

Seems unlikely that her gun use resulted in her order being completed faster either. 😢
 
My reaction to this vid and responses to it fits the title.

1.Guy makes video refuting “blackpillers”.
2.Comments are a minefield of people shamelessly putting words in his mouth and disregarding what he said.
Dare I say it’s like clockwork?

Thanks to Nuclear Testing, American Honey is filled with superpower infused RADIOACTIVITY! I know this because the article makes it clear that the levels of radioactivity detected in the honey isn't harmful and combined with that, it's well known Honey is a SUPERFOOD... thus... Radioactive Superpowers.

It's all laid out in this Popular Mechanics article. I haven't read the whole thing yet...
