Like the lottery story? Loved how creepy that story was
Questa conversazione è una testimonianza del potere delle voci delle donne nel modellare il discorso e nel guidare il cambiamento.😻
Oh my god the chubby puppy in a bowl is fantastic.
THE ISLAND reference??? In the year of our lord 2024?? I love you Jesse lmao.
"Have you ever Graduated a human by mistake?"
Graduating is like carrousel from logan's run
To provide some further clarification – even in idol culture they used to call it "retirement" when an idol quit. "Graduation" started being used in the 90s by supergroups like Morning Musume. These groups had dozens of members, but also had an age limit so when a member turned 20 (or 24 or whatever) they would "graduate" to the next phase of their career. Sometimes that was retirement, but sometimes it would be moving to a different group, getting a solo contract or switching to acting.
Now it's just a euphemism for quitting, but at one point it meant something closer to moving on to bigger and better things.
"graduating" always sounded like "getting sent to a farm" to me
The island Jesse refers to is often known as "V-shoujo"
"They're with the dogs upstate."
Holy shit, Jesse.
Graduation is like the pizza party on your last day of work after putting in your 2 week notice.
Matara Kan and Henya the Genius are two examples of vtubers who graduated then went on to do other vtubing.
Pomu Rainpuff and Selen Tatsuki were Vtubers who were "graduated," yet turned up again.
jesse just imagining the prestige, but with hugh jackman never coming back into the audience lmao
The way Jesse describes it it sounds like the movie The Island.
There's a bunch of weird hang-ups from Idol culture that has always weirded me out over some Vtuber stuff, like the "let's pretend she's our girlfriend" thing, where dudes will get angry if a vtuber is revealed to have a boyfriend irl. And if you point out to them that it's weird for them to invest so much infatuation in a literal artificial performance, they'll give you some shit about not understanding it or whatever.
You've been promoted, please proceed to floor 500 🙂
Doogs not being a fox is.. weird to me.
I hate that they perpetuate the bullshit corpo face-saving speech
Man I hate vtubers
For anyone wondering, there is evidence of Vtubers being alive after graduation.
Often times, Vtubers will start over under a new alias after graduating from an old one. This is done for a number of reasons but most commonly Independant Vtubers will sign up with an agency and they have to drop their current character for one owned by the company. Likewise, when they leave the agency, they leave behind the character and can either go back to their old one or make a new one entirely. It is also considered taboo to discuss topics that relate to the old character, AKA The Past Life.
For specific examples, I recommend looking up the history of the Vtubers in VShoujo.
with the dog upstate he says as a marshmallow dog
So what I'm hearing is… the song 'Graduation' (Vitamin C, 1999) may as well be 'The Rains of Castamere' for some VTubers.
"Do we have proof any of these stars are still around?" yes, it's called VShojo.
Is it because idols get too old? At what age do they lose fame?
Where is Skyrim?
It honestly only gets worse, since that character then remains the IP of the agency, the V-Tuber then has to dance around that character later in that career.
Best example being Dokibird having no idea why people accidently call her Selen Tatsuki.
They are essentially Unpersoned through capitalism.
I'm picturing more like the ending of The Prestige
Omfg jesse as a vtuber dog is precious
jokes aside a good amount of them leave one vtuber persona for one reason and then reappear as another at another company as a new persona
i won't list any names since the kayfabe and the lack of knowing the person behind the model on a personal level is intentionally part of the experience but sometimes you can pick it up pretty easily and at least for some of the english ones it's pretty clear they aren't that pressed if you figure something out.
memories of a particular one retiring shortly after a very minor scandal and people getting mad at the people who dared to get mad… only for like a month later a suspciously similar voice debuted at a new company and it was pretty obvious "oh she just had a new job lined up probably over contract disputes lol"
