I've got a lot of big thoughts about VTubing and the "ideal selves" we make for ourselves and how attractiveness (of a sort) still matters even when we're all just digital avatars, but oof Bluesky does NOT have enough words. I can't shrink it down. Welp, let's just do this, then! 🧵

everybody else is pointing out how bad the avatars are, how boring the environment is, and so on but i feel like it's also worth paying attention to how wooden and emotionless the acting is spend some of those megabucks on someone who knows how to emote with their voice, not just their hands

is there a setting somewhere to make youtube only show captions on videos that actually have captions? sometimes it automatically switches to autogenerated ones and those suck raw ass

i doubt you'll ever catch me saying anything positive about idol culture but i feel like too many people use it as a convenient punching bag, blaming all the vtubing trends they hate on "idol culture", even when those things have basically nothing in common with how real-life idol companies operate

I love when I loudly emphasize that we're gonna have to be very careful about something, and then i get pulled off that thing to some other random shit for ages. and when i get back, it inevitably turns out that someone else was extremely NOT careful with it and now i have to clean up the mess

kinnikuman is so silly, i love it yeah, there's just ancient superhuman aliens hanging out on Earth. everyone knows about them. they spend their time lifting weights and doing shows and they solve all disputes via their traditional ancient method of ultra-extreme pro-wrestling TO THE DEATH

the random spritecomics bot doesn't have any Sonic comics to post because I don't know any. i was a Megaman kid growing up plus it's tough to find a wide variety of spritecomics. most of the old sites are just gone now, taking their comics with them. only the most successful ones are still up
