/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

have you ever made ina laugh, fellow takodachis?

>>3126977
Just this last week she read my non SC comment and giggled.

>>3126977
a few times yeah, but my proudest moment as a takodachi was when she read my message saying she had improved in her last karaoke which gave her confidence and encouraged her to do even better

>>3126977
I've gotten her to chuckle at a few of my shitty jokes.

>>3126977
I never post jokes in superchats/chat because if she laughs/giggles at my joke I think I wouldn't be able to climb back out

>>3126977
I think so? It can be hard to tell when chat is going a mile a minute, but when your post is the only one that isn't a copy paste "lol" or "yeah" then I think I can make that claim.

Thoughts on Ina-without-shrine-duties ? Will she really make these streams more often like some kind of Korone clone ? I really prefer her shorter streams where I can watch the whole thing live.

>>3128141
Shorter streams are better. The one we just had was insane and I don't know how anyone can sit through a full 8 hour stream on a weekday.

>>3128141
I think she will just make shorter streams more often and varied and only stream long hours when it's a game like NieR

has Ina made plans for a karaoke stream anytime in the future and can we hope that she'll sing a lot of songs from nier?

>>3126977
No, but I made her faux-afraid for one second or so. Without even a SC, either, so that was nice.

Ninomae Ina'nis is one of the dumbest girls in hololive that I’ve had the “pleasure” to watch. A sullen, dull and quiet girl, she added nothing to holoEN except, “Gee, let's blow up KFP.” Also, illegally released many classified Chickens. A real dope!

>>3126977
yea, a couple of times, the most recent one was during the nier drawing stream and the joke wasn't even that good

Don't forget your comfy reps.

>>3126636
why is this image so sexy even though ina is very flat?

>>3128798
I love my Priestess!

>>3128885
The sexiness of boobs if about the people carrying them not the size

>>3128966
>still not flat
ONE JOB

>>3126636
Why must sleep take me when I want to watch my priestess
Just watched the rest of the vod, surprised she finished route B as quickly as she did.

>>3129047
She did pretty much rush through the main story with doing pretty much no sidequests

>>3128798
>dumbest
You have to be pretty fucking dense to believe that.
Dope!

>>3129066
Yeah
It's a shame because some of the sidequests are really good and add to the plot a great deal

>>3129404
I cried un emil's quest TT

>>3129462
I didn't play gestalt when it came out, so playing replicant and seeing all the things that I now understand to be references in automata makes things like Emil's quest hit harder.

>>3128141
I hope she doesn't throw away her stable income entirely to pursue vtubing, which bubble has pretty much already burst.

>>3126977
i said she should name cali's horse the "guh-llahan" and she laughed

>>3130158
her "shrine duties" sound more like uni rather than like a day job

>>3130158
she could always make money off her art/commissions

>>3130158
Now that no one will make art staff come to the office to work there will be no such thing as "stable income" for artists

>>3126636
how is she so comfy? I love her so much

Is Ina a shotacon?

>>3130224
it's a work for JP company, hence the night owl lifestyle, she mentioned it multiple times herself

>>3130539
Ah, then I stand corrected

morning
I fucking love Ina so much that nothing does anything to me.
I can't cum to anything else but Ina
Every time I think about dragging my hard dick on her flat chest and playing xylophone with her ribs
I cum buckets in seconds

>>3130473
Everybody loves Emil

Tourist here, is anyone worried about Ina >>2907832 she still hasn't made it to page 10.

>>3131768
don't worry about it

Ninomae Ina'nis is one of the cutest girls in hololive that I’ve had the pleasure to watch. A fun, talented and entertaining girl, she added everything to holoEN including, “Gee, let's inspire thousands of people.” Also, legally released many enslaved Chickens. A real cutie!

I bet 500 yubis on that octopus girl

do it
https://aggie.io/p5b2avzimq

>>3132186
Dope.

>>3132282
i can't draw

>>3131768
She made it to page 10 during dead hours yesterday, and decided to make another trip

>>3132490
Is this just her getting ready for her next RFA stream? I hope she doesn't overdo it with all this walking.

>>3126977
Multiple times.

>>3133498
>takodachi gets the crabs
you were supposed to be pure for Ina.

>>3132235
I'm glad to see it has been growing without problems

>>3132186
>>3128798
Dope!

>>3126977
A few times in chat and with some shitty memes on twitter.

>>3126977
every other morning when I tickle her sides

>>3132282
I did my part

>>3136236
c-cute

You will let my wife be the camerawoman for your oshi's 3d yeah?

>>3136467
Yes.

>>3136467
No because I'm a little upset that Marine didn't win during that group class thing the other day, and they encouraged polygamy

>>3136467
Absolutely.

>>3136467
Nene is 100% going to focus on Ina's armpits so yeah

>>3136467
no

>>3136467
I don't care about ships, so I'm indifferent. She'll probably ask Ina to make a few lewd poses here and there which is fine. I only hope Ina's 3D stream is more about herself than yuri pandering, it's an important moment for her after all. I guess that depends if Ina can carry the stream by herself without dying halfway through it like Luna. Either way, I trust she'll work on her stamina reps to avoid that from happening in her 3D debut.

>>3136988
Remember to SC her asking her about RFA!

>Collab is 9pm not 9am
Damn, I was all set for comfy fishing.
At least I won't miss Holofightz

>>3137286
Someone in chat will definitely do that and then lead everyone to spam it, so I'd rather save the little money I have for her merch.

>>3132368
Half a year ago I couldn't draw either !
It's still pretty bad but at least I have something for Ina's BD. Done is better than perfect, as the priestess says.
Embrace the gift of chaos and pick up a pencil :)

>Gura karaoke at midnight
>Ina collab at 5 am

one of ina's main fanartists is streaming his artwork right now, takos
twitch.tv/shiina_rei

>>3138136
Nice.

Can someone post the no one cares kiara screenshot? I love it so much

>>3138136
>streaming during Holofightz
NGMI

>>3138136
anon the last 1.5 hours and the next 2 hours of my time are totally reserved for holofightz sorry

>>3138274
no need to be sorry
i'm just willing to bet that there are other people like me who don't give a single shit about holofightz

>>3138136
Sorry, Shiina. But a drawing stream wouldn't work with my uni reps right now. Maybe next time.

>>3138136
will he ban me if i say "nice, now draw her giving birth"?

>>3138397
no risk no fun, tako

>>3138274
Post any takobro draws please, or link to them at least.

Will Ina fight today? I like Hz but mostly only watch Ina's.

>>3138564
i expect her to be up against Kiara today

Ina's ears are just a little longer than normal. She's human so there's no problem with her.

>>3141323
Pochi's seen her double earholes humans don't have those.

>>3126977
Last week i got her to oi my comment and i was pleased

Damn, the guess was right.
Submitted my ugly pencil drawing a while ago, lets see if it gets in.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Hololive/comments/n2nmjz/see_inas_birthday_in_times_square/
Ok, who the fuck is the billionaire?
>INB4 >leddit

>>3141616
An article from 2017 says that the cost is around $30,000 per week for a 15 second ad that appears once per hour. Jesus.

>>3142104
Lmao
Just send her the money

>>3142092
> has money
> not wasting it on akasupas
based

>>3141616
Honestly I think Ina wont be too happy about this.

>>3142092
>between 5k and 50k for a day, according to google.
says one of them wtf

>>3142167
hard agree. she'll probably mention it on twitter and maybe talk about it for 15 seconds on stream but that'll be about it

>>3142104
>Spend $30k on a billboard in times square
>Or do something that actually matters and send it to Ina
>>3142167
Hard agree. Just donating to Ina is better than whatever the fuck this is going to be

>>3142167
This is like a hikki's worst nightmare

>>3141616
>>3142092
these idiots are going to get shut down by cover for trying to use advertising space with one of their IPs

>>3142092
I hope she likes it

>>3142368
I'm kind of hoping they are, shit's scaring me.

>>3142295
This is why discordfags were a mistake

>>3142104
if the amount of time they listed is correct it would run at about 120k$ for the day

>>3142355
Worse than having a booth at a con...?

>>3142092
i might be biased against plebbit but this is nothing but grandstanding
>LOOK AT US
>LOOK WHAT WE FUCKING DID
>AREN'T WE AMAZING?
they don't give a single shit about ina

>>3142447
>120k$ for the day
Seriously, just donate to Ina. It would cost a fuckload less

>>3142474
they say they have 7minutes/hour all day if the claims are correct

>>3142472
>We did it Reddit!

>>3142447
>120K
If it's 7 minutes per hour and there's no discount it's closer to 800K for the whole day.

>>3142535
Still would've been better to just mass-donate to Ina

>>3142543
>SO FOR INA'S BIRTHDAY RIGHT? WE COMMISSIONED ELON MUSK TO BUILD A SPACESHIP CALLED 'THE TAKO'. THE TAKO IS FITTED WITH A HIGH POWERED LASER, IT'S GOING TO FLY TO OUTER SPACE, GET IN POSITION AND CARVE FANART ONTO THE SURFACE OF MARS.
these niggers should get the rope

What even is the fucking point of that aside from flexing on the poors

Is it even legal to advertise something without permissions? what are they gonna do with the time if cover gives them the middle finger?

>>3142447
>>3142555
It's not even close to what you guys are thinking

>>3142555
the 30k is if you run it all week according to the article.
they only have it for a day

>>3142612
could you, like, fuckin' cool it man? jesus.

>>3142631
I hope these pretentious fucks lose all their money

>>3142631
>Is it even legal to advertise something without permissions?
Nope

>>3142655
they did book every single screen though

>>3142655
>>3142662
Okay that's a lot better.
If Ina heard someone spent 800K+ on ad space for her I wouldn't be surprised if she quit and disappeared, the more I think about it the fucking scarier it sounds.

>>3142698
they are not advertising for Ina though
just showing off art and linking to their discord

>>3142698
they're not advertising on the board, they're sending a birthday message.
as long as they're not asking anyone to pay them within the message, shouldn't be a problem.

>>3142703
>spend more than a thousand on that kind of public bullshit
even xylophone posters ain't that cringe

>>3142746
we all need to submit xylophone pictures

>>3142413
>>3142368
According to them, Cover already approved

>>3142873
lol I must say, I respect their dedication

>>3142873
Then let's hope Cover's keeping an eye on this and approving every picture because this is thin ice territory.

they think it's a cute idea on the discord,but it's cringy af. I'd be creeped out in Ina's place

>>3142908
dedication to what exactly?
flushing money down the toilet?
yea good job i guess

>>3141616
>shitty cringe art instead of telling people hey this squid is fun and wholesome to watch come check her out

will be great when the regular people see it as weird loli porn and Cover g et in trouble

Now that I think about it, that's probably in some part reddit one-upsmanship. They see that another chuuba got a massive project for her birthday and think "we must do better for our oshi". Misguided effort.

>>3141616
Do these people even watch Ina?

>>3142976
especially since it's NYC, media in that city are so bored they will pick up on it quick

Looking at the state of this thread, I'm glad Ina isn't streaming today

>>3142940
>t. poorfag

I agree regardless, this is such a waste of money and I'm worry if Ina will even like it. Ina tried her best to tame takos but some are just too mentally ill

>>3143025
they are just exaggerating

>>3143009
>WE DID IT REDDIT. WE MADE THE LOCAL NEWS.

>>3143025
But tako... she is

>>3143048
timezones, anon, timezones

I remember thinking about a proposition for a birthday gift, but on a much smaller scale, you know how Ina mentions learning various languages etc? i thought it would be cool to make a compilation of people saying "happy birthday" in different languages. Kinda sad I didn't push it through, my retarded ass was too shy to mention it to any of discordkeks

>>3142655
There's no way that's accurate. Here's an article from Forbes discussing that exact spot.

is it me or Ina doesn't seem like a person who would like something so extravagant?

Ina is awake!

>>3143508
Keep in mind since NYC is still on lockdown the prizes probably dropped dramatically

>>3143510
SHe wouldn't. She's a hikki after all

>>3143510
It's a glorified thousand-dollar superchat, can't imagine she would like this

Ina HATES reddit!

something creative would have been way cooler than "look how much money I have"

>>3143679
yea this.
i'll be the last one to dump on a group singing project or anything similar. might be cringy but at least it came from the heart.
this is just dumb

>>3143744

exactly. This is basically some dude making this about his wallet instead of the fans who's art will be displayed there. Terrible Idea,but the retarded holofans eat it up. It's like their don't know their oshi at all

come on now, you guys are better than seething at reddit for no real reason.
if you've got time to whine you also have time to go draw in the aggie you rep-less bastards

Tell me why you love Ina!

>>3143970
she relaxes me every weekend and sometimes after work

>>3143967
It's a real reason, if they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars I'd honestly worry for Ina's safety and sanity.

And what are (You) gonna do for her birthday, /wah/? seethe at plebbit like always or will (You) actually do something

>>3140041

>>3144061
Say happy birthday to Ina and chat then fuck off because I don't need to waste money on something extravagant to get my message across.

>>3144061
im going to watch her birthday stream and send a $20 supa saying happy birthday.

>>3144040
>I'd honestly worry for Ina's safety
that might be a little exaggerated i just think they're narcissistic to the core

>>3144061
a mail with short congrats and a bunch of local postcards/photos i've taken so that she can use it as a stock images/inspirations for her drawings. sent it like 2 days ago, wonder when she'll receive it

>>3144192
>that might be a little exaggerated
Depends entirely on how much they spent. If it's between 600-1K between a few weirdoes then it's probably okay, if misguided.

>>3144061
I'm working on a big illustration

>>3144206
>bunch of local postcards/photos i've taken so that she can use it as a stock images/inspirations
Nice, that's actually a good idea.

>>3144040
c'mon, you're just looking for a reason to be mad.
>they can't advertise this legally!
nah it's not an ad.
>yeah but cover can't approve of this!
they did.
>well ina's gonna suffer some sort of consequences!
doomposting does nobody any good.
look, i'll be up in arms with the rest of you if this causes an issue; but until then it's really lame that you're projecting so much bad faith into other takodachi just because they did something extravagant.

>>3143970
cute and punny

>>3144401
that about sums it up, indeed

>>3144206
Nice.

>>3144360
No I'm not. The legality doesn't concern me, that's their problem. I'm worried it will make ina uncomfortable, and the likelyhood of that increases with however much they spent. If it's really just 600 bucks or so then I don't think it'll be too bad, but from what we know of Ina this kind of attention is probably not something she'll enjoy that much.

>>3144360
My reason to be mad is that this is incredibly cringe moneyed attentionwhoring

>>3141616
This sounds fucking stupid and I hope this backfires

>Ina + Reine collab at 6am
What about my "playing all night till 6am and then going to sleep reps"?
This is cruel!

>>3144135
Based

>>3144360
I'm not mad, but it's just retarded. On top of what >>3144537 says, the entire thing goes against what Ina has said about spending money on her.

Though the whole thing only reaffirms my thoughts on why reddit and discord is cancer and seeing how it derailed the thread, why >>3141639 is always relevant.

Feel like you guys are overestimating how much anyone actually cares about a single billboard in Times Square. People rent those billboards all the fucking time for special events like birthdays, it's not notable at all.

>>3144537
It doesn't even cost that much. It's $230 per hour and they're only renting it for 7 minutes at a time so the total is $27 per 7 minutes or $644 for the entire day.

>>3141616
This is fucking CRINGE. It’s like they don’t even watch Ina’s streams.
Fucking hell. I’m embarrassed to even be in the same fanbase as these pricks

>>3141616
>mfw this is just a big scam to yoink all the money/all the money that isnt needed for the screens

>>3144733
>It's $230 per hour
I've been trying to confirm this but I get wildly different answers. But if what they claim is true I don't think it'll be bad.

>>3141616
I was already planning to post my shitty art on twitter so whatever. My drawing will be ignored either way, it doesn't matter if it's under her birthday hashtag or on a big screen. The only difference is that a random will be paying for the latter.

one thing i'm confused about, why are they announcing it this early? the birthday is in 3 weeks, there's no way it won't reach her in the meantime, what's the fucking point?

>>3144816
To collect art for the screen, probably. And it's better if it's not a surprise in this case, I'd say.

>>3144816
did you even read the original post?
they're taking art submissions to put in the board.

>>3144847
yea i did but why posting it on reddit? they have like 15k takeks on discord.

>>3144733
>Feel like you guys are overestimating how much anyone actually cares about a single billboard in Times Square
This. Been there and tourists are more entranced by all the lights and people in costumes than the actual advertisements.

>>3144816
Imagine if the fact that they've approved it with cover might mean that she already knows about it and approved it herself

>>3144733
Regardless of if it’s $500 or $50,000 dollars it still is a stupid idea for a holo like Ina who does not care about attention.
This would be a better gift for a holo like Miko who loves American cities and wants to be a world famous idol.
This may be projection on my part, but I feel like Ina would just prefer drawings on Twitter and heartfelt messages about how she has inspired us.

Also not to mention that buying billboard space in NYC for an anime girl is a little cringe. Just like that kid who did a presentation about anime in high school

>>3144905
>stupid idea for a holo like Ina who does not care about attention
This tbqh, its not 100% shit idea, but it doesnt really seem like something Ina would want/care about.

The worst thing that could come out of all this is that we get 3 newfags every thread

>>3144778
This is what the billboard actually looks like by the way. It's all 3 panels but even so it's not that big.

Also this is probably what they're gonna use to order it https://tpsengage.com/
It's been used for the GME PnD and other meme billboards before so I don't think it's even a big deal.
They better vet the fanart though, given Ina's body type it might trigger the fuck out of ~certain groups~ seeing her amazingly flat chest on a billboard.

>>3144985
as long as they fit in, i don't mind

>>3144993
>vet the fanart
Whoever owns those billboards probably does id imagine.

>>3144985
who's gonna look at the billboard with a link back to their discord and think "fuck, i've gotta go to 4chan.org/vt/thread/wah/ ?"

>>3145071
kek

>>3145071
me, im from the future and i did just that

>>3143967
>go draw in the aggie you rep-less bastards
aggie lags too much for me

>>3145099
fuck off Ame

>>3145063
The company that runs them probably just checks if it's not porn and approves it without doing research into the context, because they don't care as long as it's not illegal.
That's a different bar from what's actually socially acceptable, and even then some socially acceptable things will trigger normies if the context is manipulated by a bad actor.

Something like pic related probably wouldn't be acceptable since it draws too much attention to her body, even though it's totally innocuous.

>>3145125
i haven't tried it, but can you copy/paste in aggie?
if that's the case, maybe you could draw in another program and paste it in there.

Yeah or fubuki who has literally mentioned it's her dream to be on a billboard in times square.

It is pretty cringe, starting to get furry/mlp vibes with the amount of autists desperate to advertise their hobby without considering how it'll be received.

>>3145516
the vibe i'm getting from this idea is not "hey let's do something that will make Ina happy", don't get me wrong, she will be happy and definitely appreciate that, but idk, the overall idea seems to be more like "hey, let's do something grandiose to prove we are the most dedicated fanbase, no matter if it goes in line with Ina's preferences etc"

>>3145649
Yeah pretty much. Felt that way a bit with the cameo stuff. Seemed like they cared more about one-upping each other than the girls.

>>3145649
Honestly, that's the same feeling I'm getting. This feels more like a dick-measuring contest than an actual heartfelt message/gift to Ina

>>3145649
>>3146015
I think that's just how fanbases always are. Anyone in entertainment should understand this and learn to accept it. Even as much as Ina discourages big spenders in her streams you'll get people like this who want to make some grand gesture to show their devotion and if you respond negatively to it then you'll piss off the entire fanbase.

She'll probably give a typical birthday speech about how thankful she is and maybe cry a bit over having such devoted fans and then never speak of it again.

>>3145160
>and even then some socially acceptable things will trigger normies if the context is manipulated by a bad actor.
imagine being this delusional.

>>3145649
I gotta admit, this whole “inflation of gifts” kinda makes me upset. I want Ina to know that she is loved by her fanbase, but at the same time I don’t want to spend money on lavish gifts for her.
Like, imagine a theoretical scenario where Chumbuds do something ridiculous like buy Gura a yacht for her birthday. Now suddenly that’s the new bar for fanbases to meet in order to prove they are loyal to their oshi.
I know Ina doesn’t care, and I’m glad she doesn’t. But as a devout tako, I want her to feel just as loved as the rest of EN, if not more.
Judging by superchat numbers, a Times Square billboard is not even close to the level of absurd these gifts will start reaching.

>>3146213
The billboard is only like $650 anon it's like the same as an akasupa basically, and virtually every holo gets a $500 akasupa at least once a week.
Sure it's a waste of money and overly showy but it costs less than Ina spends on gacha games in a single day.

>>3145071
kek

>>3146098
desu the money thing isn't even the problem, it's that she's pretty shy/basically a hikki. I'd be panicking if I was her and I'm not even socially anxious.

>>3146373
Yeah I don't really like it as a gift idea for Ina in particular but if it was Mori or Kiara I'm sure they'd fucking love the attention.
Something better for Ina would've been baking her a cake or making a large (temporary) art installation in a public space or something. Imagine a bronze or marble statue of a takodachi, now that'd be cool.

>>3146287
It’s a slippery slope. As described in the other post, next gift to a holo will be in the thousands range just because they need to one up this.

>>3146373
This too. I’m sure Ina is used to the spotlight, but I would be shitting bricks if my character and name appeared in Times Square.


Also as a side note, I know nobody who is physically in Times Square will give a shit. It’s more about the reaction to the screenshots of it being in Times Square. That’s the shit that has potential to be seen by millions.

>>3146213
>yacht
only for okayu

>>3146373
Dude, you're projecting. She's a hikki now because of how the world is. She's been at cons around the world and managed just fine ("yeah so I was hanging in LA with friends and then..."). Sure she might not like it, but if she didn't want any attention she wouldn't join hololive, stream to 10K people, do the kind of shrine duties she does etc.

>>3146373
this >>3146642

>>3146642
You do know there is a difference between having your character blasted in public and streaming though, right? It's how someone like Pekora is an introvert despite also having an audience in the thousands.

>>3146642
Wait what kind of shrine duties are you talking about? I was under the impression shrine duties just means the professional art projects she's working on.

>>3141686
Looks like flap remover got canned

>>3146766
Professional art projects for a large international audience. She's not a nobody and has learned to handle people knowing who she is by now.
If it was her roommate on that billboard it'd be different, but it's not. It's just fanart.

>>3146642
Really? Didn't she go through a period where she just played mmo's and didn't go outside for like 5 years, long before covid?
Think there's a bit of a difference with streaming and this since she has more control over how she's portrayed and can moderate her audience. Plus the avatar provides a degree of anonymity, do you think she would have streamed on twitch with a facecam if she hadn't joined hololive?

New York will never financially recover from this....

I can't cum to anything else but Ina
Every time I think about dragging my hard dick on her flat chest and playing xylophone with her ribs
I cum buckets in seconds

>plebbit uses the ultra simp card

>>3146939
she graduated college and then had a gap year or so when she was doing her art reps/playing ff14 and applying for jobs before moving on to "shrine duties". As someone else said, she's pretty normie if it comes to social reps, the fact that she likes to stay low profile doesn't make her antisocial autist. She can handle social interractions when its required of her.

>>3147005
An advert by a company using their characters, I don't see a problem with this.
Still doesn't mean a bunch of fanart bought by dick-measuring ikas somehow is okay as well.

talent is a gay meme, half the fuckers out there doing anything have 0 talent but did the grind for years to be better than the fags with 'talent' that didnt work for it. sure, if you dont have 'talent' you might not be the greatest ever artist but you could at least put a pen to paper and make something nice if you worked at it long enough

>>3148089
Nononono anon don't give up now if you give up now your art will stay like this forever and you will never thank ina with your art. At least if you keep trying something decent might come out of this but if you give up now then it's over

>>3148179
This.
"natural talent" is a meme created by lazy fucks as an excuse not to do their reps.
Also, its frankly insulting to artists who poured their life into perfecting their craft. Imagine spending 20 years nonstop working on your art just for some fag to say: "wow you are so naturally gifted"

>>3146845
I actually saw it, got tempted to do it, but decided against it, but you had to taunt me
It's not a lie that I live in the trash tho

>>3148089
>no talent
You don't need talent to draw. Most artists don't have talent. Most people don't have talent. Maybe to be top 0.0001 in% physical sports you need talent in form of how your body is built.

Almost everytime someone gets called talented it's because they have been grinding for thousands of hours and people only see the results after that. It's easy to look at Ina finishing piece on few hours and think that's talent but no, that's result of endless fucking reps.

>>3148089
No one was born knowing how to construct human anatomy or apply perspective or render materials accurately, anon.
That shit is LEARNT, not gifted.

>>3148316
how to fuck did I place % in that spot. Oh well.

>>3148089
I'm also garbage at drawing with zero talent and experience but I'm still trying my best to draw what I like. I believe she appreciates all fanarts she sees even if she doesn't heart "bad" drawings on twitter. Just draw for yourself, even if people ignore it or say you suck at drawing. I know it's frustrating to not be able to draw what you have in mind, but you'll never improve if you don't try.

Gatekeeping is your sacred duty. More exposure means more retards trying to ruin the good stuff just out of spite.

>>3151065
>This shoulds like there's a lot of people gatekeeping again

>>3151189
Just because you claim that a thing is "nice" doesn't mean the recipient will feel the same. Check your narcissism.

Only to those who its meant to keep out. Fascinating that the discord screenshot came from a new IP btw.

Likewise, remember to do your not-taking-bait reps.

>>3151189
>implying this is a pure act of kindness
The guys arranging this just want attention from Ina.

Also, have you forgotten that we are making the collage?? I assume you are just some newfag that came here to complain, so you didn't know at all. If you weren't new to these threads you would also know that rrats are hated here and reported almost immediately.

>>3151186
>>3151193
>>3151217
Mate, I've been around since /jp/'s /vyt/
The only reason HololiveEN exists and Hololive even got so successful was because gatekeepers failed to stop the exposure of vtubers to the global audience.
Every single time people talked about gatekeeping, they just personally want to keep their niche hobbies to themselves.
Change is bad etc etc
Gatekeeping the thread is fine though, it doesn't stop the growth of the talents in any way.

>>3151316
>Every single time people talked about gatekeeping, they just personally want to keep their niche hobbies to themselves.
and pray tell why should we share those hobbies with casual scum who don't care about the hobby itself, that just want to be entertained? What merit is there to that?

>>3151316
Jesus, you still think this is about gatekeeping??? We don't care if normies see Ina in times square. What we care about are the attentionfags arranging this event not out of goodwill, but just because they want ina to notice them. Its pathetic.
Also, some anons suspect that Ina will not like that level of attention being shined on her because she is shy.
Also, you speak as if this will even bring in new fans. It won't, its just something that /r/hololive is gonna jerk off over for awhile and then forget it. If anything, this will make Ina a target of hololive haters.

>>3151381
The higher the number of people knowing about the hobby, the more subscribers they get, which leads to even more people knowing about them because of Youtube's algorithm pushing bigger creators more.
The more subscribers they get, the more chances of memberships and superchats get dropped.
Even if it doesn't matter for the individual, it matters for the company.
You don't want to end up with literally half of your talents graduating at once like .Live right?

>>3151316
How low is your opinion of your oshi if you aren't willing to keep out people who very clearly haven't ever listened to anything she says?

>>3151525

Nothing but a numberfag. Do you even care about your oshi or do you only care about the value you and others can extract from her?

whatever happened to the resident psych tako?

>>3151668

>>3151189
This is pure ego stroking. Bringing this kind of negative attention to hololive and Ina specifically can't result in anything good.

>>3151517
>What we care about are the attentionfags arranging this event not out of goodwill, but just because they want ina to notice them. Its pathetic.
The end result is the same, Ina getting more exposure, regardless of attentionfags, clipfags are attentionfags that only care about the money that they make from the clips and profiting off of other's content.
However, you can't deny that clips did lead to more exposure to the girls, regardless of whether it's translated clips, or just regular clips of the girls.
>Also, some anons suspect that Ina will not like that level of attention being shined on her because she is shy.
A shy girl wouldn't join the biggest vtubing company. She would've just posted her art on twitter and stopped there, and I'm not going to become a doxfag.
>Also, you speak as if this will even bring in new fans. It won't, it's just something that /r/hololive is gonna jerk off over for a while and then forget it. If anything, this will make Ina a target of hololive haters.
You really telling me people taking pictures of this and sharing it on social media wouldn't lead to anything at all? That nobody would be curious of who would sink thousands of their own money to do something like this?

>>3151315
Hopefully the collage compiler is still here.

:DDD

>>3151690
>Extract
That's the complete opposite, it contributes to her getting more widely known.
Lest you forget, Ina gains happiness from introducing and encouraging people to pick up their hobbies, which she hopes to do by people watching her streams with gesture drawings and her drawing streams.
Reminder that she found a leaky ceiling because people told her that they are picking up their hobbies once again.
Are you telling me that she wouldn't like to see even more people seeing her drawing streams and also getting inspired to do their reps once again?

>>3151065
>some retarded tourists and old faggy people are totally going to check out this anime shit after seeing it on a billboard

>>3151065
I mean, do I think Ina is awesome, and that more people should know how awesome she? Yes. However, am I reasonably convinced that Ina herself would be happy about this? That's the hangup here. Yeah yeah, armchair psychologists assuming what someone they don't know thinks, but even if we're pretty sure it won't go to hell in a handbasket (and desu it could) at the very least I can't imagine Ina being actively excited about this.

>>3151621
Someone post that soundpost of Gurame fanart being very basice shit and Iname schizo fanart being some out of this world stuff

Well, even if Ina thinks this Times Square thing is too much, she's way too passive to point that out. My bet is that she'll thank them for doing that and then move on to another topic.

Way to expose yourself as someone who not only doesn't post in these threads, but also does not watch Ina at all.
Lovely addition of doxnigging as well, gotta throw that in to expose yourself further.
>You really telling me people taking pictures of this and sharing it on social media wouldn't lead to anything at all?
Hololive fans will take pictures of this and then share it with hololive fans. It will very likely not go more than a few inches outside of the hololive bubble. Clippers do more to bring outsiders into the fanbase than this ever will.
>clipfags are attentionfags
I wouldn't really say that. The majority of them clip because they like the community. Clippers are a beneficial part of the hololive ecosystem because they provide free advertising for hololive. Clippers basically created the demand for hololive EN. There are some clippers who monetize and try to gain a following, and that is shitty. However, they aren't directly doing stuff just so a holo will notice them. These discord ikas are just doing this because they want Ina to notice them.

>>3152098
Just be satisfied with the natural flow of subs Ina is getting currently. She is doing very well and inspiring thousands every day.
In the rare chance that any of us gatekeep, we aren't doing so to prevent Ina from gaining fans. We are doing it because the people coming in are cancer to the community, and it would ruin the community for Ina. Reminder that she explicitly tells people to stop watching if they are annoying or complain about the stream.

>>3152482
that is the worst part, she can't just ignore it if it makes her uncomfortable. it's "my dad died" all over again but on a much bigger scale

>>3152530
The only people that would care about the difference are numberfags that see the subs gain/week drop after a couple of weeks.
The end result is the same, growth.
Her stable organic growth wouldn't stop because of a stunt.
