holy truth nuke.
the amount of times i have legitimately almost quit being a vtuber because of how mean people are behind the scenes, how prevalent cliques are, and how widely normalized this shit is, it's insane.
i have never felt like i truly belonged here. i always skirt on the outside of other people's groups and circles. good enough to interact with in public but never invited to collab or even hangout offline. it's genuinely awful.
i am literally only here for my community, at this point. i'm really glad to see someone call this shit out.
9. The next Comic Market 109 will be held on Dec. 29-31, 2026, again at Tokyo Big Sight. After 7 years we are back to more than 2 days with strong participation from circles and limited space available while Tokyo Big Sight is still being partially renovated. Set your calendars!
