Looks like Laplus is learning to play League of Legends (which I don't approve of) but it is kind of funny she's a Veigar main because that character suits her down to a t
Unhinged baseless theories about what's going on behind the scenes by people who are far too online for their own good At best it's people taking the faintest scrap of information and running with it
>>1110898 that's hamster >>1110897 Ah, yeah that's roughly what I thought but I was never entirely sure So when someone asks "what's the rrat on X" it's basically "what's the current schizo consensus on X"?
Anno
Yeah you've got it nailed down
S C
why rrat though is it related to bae?
Anno
Some reference to Pekora from ages ago, I think I think she read some English on stream once as "ogey rrat" and more so among the miserable 4chan types it became a kind of "okay whatever" response to when someone was posting one of those unhinged theories And as the transitive law of Internet memes go, eventually it started being used to refer to those unhinged theories
originally I thought it was specifically about pregnancy theories, but I guess that was just a coincidental first introduction to the term being a series of said theories
>>1110899 okay yeah but a bunch of the rrats about Selen were confirmed recently
S C
I mean a lot of those weren't entirely schizoposting, there was a lot of meat on those But yeah
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
the one that comes to mind is the apostrophe one
S C
that one was real, right? I mean I would imagine that one was rael
Cause as nonsensical as it may be, it is like... really unlikely not to be what the rrats thought
Selen never uses that symbol and then suddenly she uses it directly following massive management fuckery and an apparent suicide attempt to make sure everyone knows it's OK and niji has no blame It's a bit... blatant
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
yeah
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
you would just have to be insane to think of it probably
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
though I would not call the suicide attempt theory a rrat (before it was confirmed) because she let out enough information for people to be able to infer it
S C
yeah I just meant as in it wasn't entirely confirmed, and also I myself am not entirely certain if that's what actually happened at that time or if that was later
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
she was absolutely in a psych ward/facility/whatever that's why she mentioned not being able to have access to her phone
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
they don't let you (usually) have your phone in the psych ward I even had to lock mine up when visiting suicidal friends
S C
I think she also had like an alt twitter account she was talking on, but I didn't keep TOO much on top of it I mostly just know of her, it's not like I actually watch vtubers
Rei !p8eYCadcMo
>>1110929 you should watch vtubers a lot of them like northern lion
Anno
>>1110929 Pretty much anyone who gets into an agency like NIJISANJI or Hololive only do so because they're already proven content creators, which mean they'll have some kind of "past life" or personal persona they were making content on before joining the agency Selen's "past life", Dokibird, never went completely offline even after she joined NijiEN, and it seems whenever she got stealth suspended by management (not allowed to stream or perform in any way as the talent, but publicly management passes it off as the talent taking a break), she used Dokibird to continue being socially present, since all corpo Vtuber past lives are usually open secrets But even
Gura's is the only one you're not really supposed to talk about I guess?
Anno
I mean no one can stop you It's not libel or slander to imply or even state a talent used or is also someone else
S C
I just mean like, from a vibes perspective It's considered bad form to openly state her past youtube presence, from what I understand, but for most of the others it's generally considered fine even if you're not supposed to in direct interactions like comments and chat
Anno
Maybe? I think Gura's probably comfortable putting that era behind her, so it's respectful to not bother I think it's usually considered bad form in most corpo Vtuber communities to reference past lives or personal personas, since it kind of fucks with the kayfabe, and in moderated environments like stream chat, the actual companies will usually restrict it from being a topic Talents are also strictly not allowed to reference their personal personas as part of their contract, as these companies aren't going to allow someone to transparently use them to get a bump in fame and then take that
Anno
The situation with Dokibird right now is a fair bit different because it's thrown the English Vtuber sphere into a bit of an open revolt So a lot of the social norms here are being thrown out the window
S C
I saw her mods went rogue and started a "stream" just to point all the dragoons towards dokibird too she really is loved
Anno
She is great at fostering a community dynamic where she tries to reward those who do stuff from her, even if it's just regularly tuning in and enjoying her content In addition to that I think a lot of people are justifiably infuriated that the toxic environment with NijiEN's management drove her to a suicide attempt They didn't even step over the line in the sand, they took a running long jump at it and cleared it
