I'm not pretending. I stop reading after first few sentences. How does Holomyth has anything to do with urban planing?

How did /vt/ get beaten out in autism, this is disappointing

We are sadly not being graded on our autism.

>>7094182
they showed the world how not to deal with covid.. though I suppose we already knew that.

>>7093999
Seems interesting, thank you for sharing. I will read it later this evening

No wonder people call them holobronies.

Such autism, i kneel

yeah, it was me, now pay for my book you grubby little nigger

>>7094441
He's just using online communities to find a connection between them and physical communities.

>>7094179
You know, RESEARCH

>>7094575
I don’t think the bronies community ever reaches this level of autism

>>7094768
"Human geography" is just a fancy term for "Study of human interactions". Basically everything from marketing to psychologists make use of it.

>>7094859
So in a way this a legitimate research then

Holy fuck I haven't seen this level of autism since the Pepsi Galaxy bullshit from 10+ years ago.

>>7094768
>>7094859
This, I'm studying geography as a major and human geo encompasses a lot of things.

>>7093999
Why are you shilling your own thesis?

>>7094958
For a meme field, but yes. It fucking counts.

>>7094995

You're just jealous you can't turn your obession with virtual 2d women into future job opportunities and a good grade.

Imagine being the uni staff that has to read through this shit without knowing what vtubers are.

writing my politics dissertation in 3 months, how can I make it about hololive?

>>7093999
>even now, geographers and planners don't care about digital social groups
>I will explain how vtubers are relevant to community relationships
>not all parts of a community are visible at all times
>this info is useful for marketers to use and platforms to control
This clipfag nord is trying to sell you shit. If you thought this was funny autism like the Bleach/Buddhism thesis, you are wrong.

>>7095207
I don't think a meme degree is worth anything to anyone except the uni taking $400,000 off the government to give you it

>>7095254
Retardchama, that's what grades are for. If the one grading feels it's not sufficiently defined and delimited, it'll impact the grade of whoever wrote this.

>>7095276
Human geography isn't liberal arts, it has actual real world applications even if it's not strictly speaking a STEM field.

>>7095265
write about how holo leeching off chink mobage into success and dumping them to ground after

Well I'm not this autistic though I did put my oshi's initials in my thesis acknowledgements

>>7095434
>>7095265
I unironically think you can write a decent thesis on chinese online communities and their interactions within and outside the great firewall using the Taiwan yab as your starting point.

>>7095539
>>7095265
>Taiwan yab as your starting point
Wrong. Just use it as a case. You have Blizzard, John Cena and that swimsuit debacle over Arknights or Genshin to also use as examples.

>>7095603
The swimsuit debacle is over Honkai impact, and Genshin has it's own little debacle too when the chinese inspired hero wasn't quite as OP as the nationalistic chinese fanbase wanted him to be and they threatened to set fire to Mihoyo headquarters until they buffed him into OPness

>>7095265
Just frame it as politics.
>great firewall
>result of ccp policy

Something like that.

I maintain that the rona has caused irreparable further damage to literally everyone

>>7095603
>debacle over Arknights

You mean the endless shitshow that the CN fanbase constantly throws around? You think the bugmen are bad here the Bugmen there are going to the CCP and demanding effectively that they shut down other gacha for "Immorality" because of daring to show some skin.
I call em Arkniggers for a good reason. Gonna kill the golden goose so they can feel important about their mobage not having BIG NUMBERS compared to others

>>7093999
There will be more of this, won't there?
I hope someone would write a book about hololive for their phD.
Could be a good read.

>>7093999
and you call us numberfriends crazy

>>7095923
I'll expand on this, because it's actually an interesting point about the CN online community that most people here haven't actually interacted much with beyond the bugmen spammers who are retarded even by their standards and also because I'm bored and have some time to kill.

Okay so, Arknights female designs are relatively tame compared to their competitors on the market like Azur lane and Genshin impact. As such it's attracted a very vocal community of what can be best described as chinese puritans into it's fanbase, who praise Arknights to the high heavens and decry all other gachas as cheap coomerbait, not being able to stand on their on merits and only capable of making money because of scantily clad girls. This group frequently gets into flamewars with other gacha communites, both within the firewall and outside of it.

So far this doesn't sound too much different from the SJW stuff that we have in the west, but this is where we get to the "everything is worse in China" bit. You see, in the west, it's actually surprisingly hard to cancel someone. You hear about the big celebrities getting cancelled and shit but what most people don't realize is that for every successful cancel case there's a thousand other cases which just fizzles out and goes nowhere. In China, however, there is one thing that everyone knows is absolutely guaranteed to result in consequences, and that is accusing such and such of being "insulting to China." If a large enough uproar is created over that subject and it reaches the ears of someone important, they are absolutely guaranteed to come down hard on the offending party, and the vocal arknight fans are not afraid to use that in the slightest.

This is why all those companies in China are so afraid of any anti china controvesy and pre-emptively pull down stuff that might offend china like that whole Kayano Ai thing, because of those vocal arknight fans who are just waiting for such an opportunity to pounce on it and fan the flames in order to win arguments, and since they are willing to do it, anyone who doesn't like them are also willing to do it to anything they care about.

TL;DR Chinese SJWs are dire half dragon version of western SJWs, and it's all the CCP's fault.

>>7093999
imagine writing 80 pages about anime girls

>>7093999
And I bet it didn't even get him laid.

Can confirm the BTS shit, I'm Brazilian and an acquaintance of mine did a thesis on BTS.

I'm sorry for this guy's research advisor

>>7094471
I did a paper about Indonesian corporate VTubers (Hololive ID, Nijisanji ID, and Maha5). It's basically "yeah this is a vtuber, they do livestreaming and shit like that"

I think /sci/ creating the best known lower band for the minimum number of superpermutations just because of a "you should be able to solve this" Haruhi related shitpost is probably beats that though, this is just philmarilion tier autism it isn't productive autism.

>>7093999
Word salad made by an autistic retarded manchild for the purpose of wearing down the reader rather than to say something, this is why teacher have turned communist and given the fuck up on the youth. Thinking of all the money that gets flushed down into this people's meme burger flipping degrees would make me give up too.

>>7107400
agree, this isn't autism, it's "look at how cuhrazee le deepnets rebbitors are." writing a bunch of filler about shit you don't care about is high school tier

is /pol/ SJW?

>>7112823
When you remove the connotation that term has accrued over the years in Western internet culture, the behavior of the Chinese in this case is definitely behavior of a supposed "warrior" fighting for their version of "social justice."

>>7093999
this isn't a real thesis, it's just one of those critical theory word salads

>>7094471
We have shame still.

>>7095825
That has pretty good parallels though.

This reads like a shitpost thesis that somebody wrote to see if their pozzed humanities major would fall for it

>As a 30-year-old, heterosexual, white, and male university student living in Sweden who more or less grew up on the internet and with inter 25 -

>It is a rainy evening in Stockholm as I sit down at my computer, setting my dinner
down next to the community that I join. Some Dead Beats are already there, waiting for
Mori Calliope to arrive and start the live stream. The live chat speeds along with excited
conversations between friends and new acquaintances, like fans waiting for a concert,
for the event, to begin. My screen is filled by the live chat and the thumbnail showing 29
what we are all here for, but it is also filled with advertisements and recommendations
showing the potential ways I can continue my travels within Hololive.

Holy fuck Deadbeats

>>7112823
in a way yes, theyre social justice warriors for traditionalist social views

I read all 80 pages. This is literally filler just to prove he knows the shit he learned in his classes. There is no new information. It only draws parallels to previous works and solidifies their claims, nothing else.

>>7094179
Imagine being this guy's professor and having to read and grade this insane shit.

>>7130630
Jesas, you’re insane

>>7130630
>There is no new information
Is this even sufficient to get him a masters then? I had to travel to hamburg in germany and do experiments at the DESY synchrotron for my master's thesis in physics because it was expected that we at least try to present new information.

Literally just your average reddit kid who puts way too much effort into a joke for attention. I imagine the kid who wrote this sits alone in class and comes up with elaborate schemes to get attention, none of which work outside of reddit. People around him in real life used to laugh at him, but now they just are annoyed with him or outright ignore him

>>7131114
yeah. they give degrees for just showing up now.

It's a masters thesis. You can write it about literally any topic, it makes no difference. It's just evidence in itself that you can produce a report that checks the boxes.

>>7130630
I didn't read the whole thing, but skimming through it I have to concur. A shame, the actual thesis sounds like it could be a pretty interesting topic if done properly.

>>7093999

damn, and I thought ~10 pages on smoking in anime and how it reflects changing attitudes towards smoking in Japan but also still highlights the fact that it's more common there than a lot of places in the west for a public health paper was a stretch.
I kinda kneel.

>>7136022
Yeah I thought the abstract sounded kind of interesting but it doesn't seem like there's really much to get out of the paper itself.

>>7144610
That actually sounds interesting anon, did you write it?

>>7150994
Yes, it was a few years back, dunno if I can find it. If my advisor keeps cucking me I might turn my MPH thesis into a fucking surveypost on here about how chuubas helped your mental health during the 'rona.
