My friends were complaining about trans people getting Pikamee cancelled. They were saying how Pikamee is the next big thing. What the hell are they talking about Jesse? :jesse-wtf:
you made me look up a vtuber I can never forgive you
Have a palate cleanser :bloomer:
Vtuber was on hiatus, came back with wizard game stream announcement. People got mad at her, she seemed blinsided by the controversy went silent for a bit and is now quitting.
Seems like she was already on the edge and this was just a extra push so she’s out. More fuel for the online culture war fire.
I mean it’s extremely easy to be blindsided by this kind of thing. Even easier if you don’t speak English or spend your time on English websites. Unless you spend time on US and UK twitter, you won’t know about the controversy. I didn’t know about it until people on here started talking about it. Admittedly I’m not into Harry Potter stuff so I didn’t even know there was a game out until someone made a post that the people behind Disney infinity were making a Harry Potter game. Last I heard it sold 12 million copies or something and fake JK Rowling tweets were making the rounds.
She does speak English but seems to be a Japanese national living in Japan.
Looking at vtubers and the wizard game, looks like pretty much every Japanese Hololive member played it without much in the way of public repercussions while the English branch has avoided the game entirely. (The English management was probably savvy enough to advise them to steer clear.)
That many bad actors in her chat from places like 4chan tried to act like trans people that hate wizard game to stir up drama. They have done this in the past and this time it worked.

Makes the gamers’ inevitable outbursts even more stupid

What is it with Bernkastel profile pics and just having the shittiest opinions online? Have you even played Umineko mate? Completely missing the point.
Anime profile pics remain roughly a cointoss between comrades and nazis, with the coin somewhat weighed toward nazis.
The fucking “Proud Boys” are based off of an extremely stupid blue curtained interpretation of a song from Aladdin, so it doesn’t matter to them either way.
“Pikamee” sounds like a slur
