if you feel ashamed of not being more social at phase con, i'll tell this story again...
one time at a con, i got so nervous i sat in a dead end hallway that led to a bathroom, and i played on my DS almost the entire con...
i mean this in the kindest way possible— i’m begging vtubers to gain a crumb of financial literacy.
😭
please use a business bank account.
please put your savings and money you put aside for taxes and your extra business reinvestment money into high yield savings accounts.
put aside money for taxes.
give yourself a monthly budget.
you will not survive the kind of rollercoaster that is your income as a content creator if you’re not helping yourself. it’s literally the only way i’ve been able to continue this job for six years despite being very small and going through MANY big emergencies without having to beg for donos every single month some years.
for the love of christ save for and open a retirement account (i don’t care how old you are, start right now.)
Knowing when to stay quiet is probably the most difficult but most important skill for a Vtuber
Sometimes things just doesn't need to be said, not everything needs an opinion, whatever pisses you off can sometimes be kept to yourself
really think she’s a bad person or a “mean girl” like some of the other big Indie Vtubers people have compared her to. She’s a chill Vtuber that is very stereotypical of an online gamer and sometimes that gets her into trouble lol. But it’s also why so many love her.
I think the Deme thing is being blown way out of proportion tbh. Yes her response was harsh but looking at it from her side, someone just called her out and said she was virtue signaling out of nowhere so they started something and she just responded.
I think people misconstrue what she says and come up with a certain narrative but after seeing what I believe to be enough of her content… I think she just says whatever comes to mind and sometimes it’s a dumb thing to do. She admits it later when it is the case. But I don’t
@shir0wan The stupid thing is that this is exactly one of the important reasons for Vtubing being somewhat of a character. These Vtubers take it very personally cause they broke down that barrier and try to make it just an extension of themself.
@Yaticaimagine That doesn’t apply in this case because some of the most trusted in the industry, those who worked with big corpo’s have later turned around and ghosted clients with thousands of dollars already paid to them. There needs to be some protection for the clients.
@Sareniia What you said was fine and people are just blowing it way out of proportion. If people want to misinterpret your initial point, at this point just let them yell into the void.
Allow me to be a "snark asshole" for a tweet.
Not only is this reply true. Many VTubers had their career kick-started by Nux Taku during his VTuber collab era.
Many owe Nux for a fat career boost.
Including. Fefe herself.
So seeing some people, including FeFe herself. Trying to rewrite indie-EN VTuber history. Without mentioning Nux name, as if he was Voldemort, as he's now gone full political.
When he's in fact, been extremely influential (if not one of the most) in putting VTubing on the map to a massive anime watching EN audience.
Man, it just. You know. Gives me that feeling of utter smugness. That knowing shit eating grin.
@autumntangy@MommaOcco@Lychibe So it’s extortion…? That’s what you’re saying. Riggers extort Vtubers by holding the leverage over their head to pressure them to into exclusivity.
@OtakuEspiritu It’s strange how nobody cares that they got played by it. The same people who’d respond showing sympathy still show support for her now whenever she makes a sad post. Are they all in on this engagement farming bullshit? Or do they just want clout because of her size.
Other Vtubers just let it happen and act like it’s fine. People care about stealing when it comes to Ai but Fefe can take other people’s stuff and pass it off as her own and everyone lets it slide. Never want to hear anyone defending her morally grandstand about these issues.
The bigger problem I have with Fefe is the suicide baiting for engagement and copy/pasting the same woe is me bullshit. The fact that everyone just falls for that shit and treats her like she deserves respect is wild. Her and El_Xox never had to answer for the bullshit they did.
