The Worst Has Yet To Come

The Virtual Youtubers (or VTubers) fad is the latest trend of digital media to have been imported from Japan. A new generation of virtual entertainers that have captured the hearts of Japanophiles around the world with innovative technology and high-quality content.

Remember when some funny Anon in /pol/ said in a meme-post that "Trump will make anime real"? Well, towards the end of 2016, something weird started to appear on the YouTube community, something that forever would changed how content was created there. Yes - FINALLY, you are able to interact with your beloved animu waifu; She can respond to your tweets - and she will play your favorite vidya games, as well!!

Welcome to the world of Virtual Youtubers (バーチャルYouTuber)!

Why Is This a Thing?

It's up to you, western man.

The answer

The bane of YouTube's existence (and by extension, Twitch's) are camwhores. Despite many decent and talented people trying to use an array of gimmicks to attract viewers and sponsorship, the fastest way to attract potential subscriptions for many YouTubers is simply being female and flaunting their bodies. Nonetheless, when people eventually get fed up with their GOTIS and recognize they'll never see their actual exposed tits (much less anything else), they'll usually drink the commie kool-aid, dye their hair red and start to engage in "armchair activism" against the Toxic Masculinity of the Right.

There's no other reason someone that is sane could watch and invest time in such virtual trainwrecks (apart from just enjoying the lulz)... This is why many losers have taken the route of escapism and found in animu girls the reassurance they will never find with "3DPD wimmens,; because in meatspace (aka the real world), they know that roasties can put them in jail just by writing a tweet with the hashtag #MeToo.

On the other hand, The weeb market is sinking beyond salvation. It was in this moment of crisis that Japanese companies discovered (albeit too late) the success of Vocaloids and the dumbasses that make anthropomorphic "art" of them. One of the losers in business-suits realized this and proposed "What if we make a Hatsune Miku lookalike... but... doing the same things PewDiePie does?" And so, a solution for two of the most urgent contemporary problems was finally discovered!

Are you a Japanese woman? Do you have talent in voice acting and singing but are unable to get a job? Are you a sad and insecure tiny dicked herbivore man who's craving attention and pity from people? Are you comfortable with weirdos making fan-art of your character, depicting it in an array of revolting sexual fetishes? Are you okay with sad NEETs throwing tantrums and sending you death-threats on your twitter account because of anything they consider it is a transgression?

Worry no more! Now you too can feel what it is to be famous, without showing your face! Get your money swindled by opportunistic entertainment-middlemen and be forever under the shadow of your character, just like Mari Iijima!

Here are the list of these Japanese nobodies who are causing the other thousands of YouTube nobodies to tremble in fear.

Let's get started with the one that enabled the virulence of this disease: Ai Kizuna.

Ai Kizuna

She's retired!

Hai Domo! I'm an interigento supaa a.i.

Her name Kizuna Ai (キズナアイ) means Love Connection, but it has a double meaning because Ai is also the acronym of Artificial Intelligence.

Kizuna's gimmick is to pretend she is the First A.I. to become a "Virtual YouTuber". Sadly, unlike Tay, there are no chances to turn her into a proud member of the Hitlerjugend. Her videos present an array of interesting topics, such as her failure to be decent AI software, her lesbian delusions, her "cute" Engrish, her crippling depression, her being trapped in a white space (unable to interact with other beings) - and mainly, her schemes to feed her vast greediness.

Albeit not being the first one to do this, she is the most successful and well known among the normalfags. Ai has more than one million subscribers to her channel, and she is the source of many memes posted by KYM and Redditors.

In her initial run, Ai was banned by ThemTube when she said that her whore clothes are in fact a hologram, so she's technically naked. That was caught by the phony algorithms of Google and her account was flagged. Her ban was lifted and she continued to prey on weebs with her fake bisexuality. Her strategies are the same ones used by a normal camwhore (livestreams, begging of likes, asking for subscriptions); Except for she doesn't have to be naked, because ASMR videos and talking like a retard are enough to work. With such tricks, she was able to build an army of cronies who translate all of her videos for free.

Some Jap businesmen recognized her as spokeswoman they needed to promote their crap and that's why 85% of Kizuna's videos are her shilling crappy mobile games that only can be played in Japan. She even advertised a shitty anime on Japanese TV, she has her own LINE-app stamps and even a TV Show. The desperation of weebs was evident when they bought paper bags with her face during the Comiket convention, prompting the promises of real plastic crap stamped with her face.

She later on created a gaming channel where you can see her failing miserably at playing horror games and trying to curse. The only explanation for why Ai Kizuna has so many subscribers, despite being such a shitty gamer, is because of her "being" a kawaii anime character. Her MMD model is available, so feel free to create low-quality Rule 34 "art" of her.

Media

The video that made her famous worldwide, particularly the moment at 18：36

it's so cute when Jap girls try to curse in a language they don't understand

it's so cute when Jap girls try to speak in a language they don't understand

ASMR Binaural videos are the pornography of the thinking man.

Seeing a Japanese Virtual YouTuber hitting rock bottom. The Future is Now!

The best way to promote a brand with Ai's channel is by allowing Ai to sexually harass the brand's representative

The copycats

Once a fad has taken off, it is inevitable that competition and imitators will appear. In this case, each one is more idiotic than the previous one. As with any Coca-Cola, there will be a Pepsi, and with any AVGN, there will be a Nostalgia Critic. So these could be called the knock-off Kizuna Ai.

Luna Kaguya

She's retired!

From where do you think her genki persona comes from?

Bing Translation tool is worthless

Nobody can explain how Luna Kaguya (輝夜月) with so few videos, and all of them of a very mediocre quality is now the second most viewed among her category and competitors. The most accepted explanation is because a lot of weebs are masochists and she is, with a lack of better words, a shitposter on coke. Unlike Ai, who likes to feed the delusions of lonely weeaboos, Luna is very fond of laughing at you and your pathetic solitude. She also target other virtual youtubers with banter and by impersonating them, well.

With a very alluring design, Luna is the favorite of pixiv artists because she can give them the excuse of indulging on breast fetish and women not wearing underwear. Also she's liked by the japs as her voice resembles hamtaro being strangled.

Luna's fast rise to fame, forced Kizuna to do damage control when her retention views are not as close to Luna's and she challenged her to do a collaboration. It was so effective, that the mere mention of Luna skyrocketed the views of Ai's video. It's usual to find on Kizuna's twitter account several tweets trying to get Luna's attention, like an ex-girlfriend trying to be noticed by her past lover.

Luna's videos are perfect for people with short attention spans as all of them are under a 10 minutes lenght. Unfortunately, if you want to understand the full scope of her shitposting and bantz you need to know how to speak moonspeak at a very high level.

Mirai Akari and Moemi

She's retired!

Moemi and Akari, Doing it wrong, doing it right?

The brainchild of Eilene (エイレーン), a poor Half-Japanese, Half-Chinese woman that was trying to breakthrough as an animator in an already saturated market. Mirai Akari and Moemi are the result of Eilene finally realizing that her funny comedy sketches about Ebola-chan and ISIS could not allow her to earn enough money to eat something better than the grass she picked out of the streets.

In the case of Moemi (萌美), she is the byproduct of Eilene's lack of skills on animation. But unlike her past ventures, Moemi at least have a voice actress rather than dialogues written with a text to speech awkward software. Still, Moemi's videos have the clickbait titles, forced memes and sexual jokes that plagued Eilene's prior material. To make the things more confusing Eilene later created Yomemi (ヨメミ), which is Moemi but as she were a mobile app.

Mirai Akari (ミライアカリ), on the other hand, was just Eilene jumping in the Kizuna Ai's bandwagon by using the reputation of her previous channel in order to start with inflated views. Eilene was dumb enough to ask for a bank loan to create Akari (not realizing there are people retarded enough to crowdfound it), which it's just an sluttier version of Kizuna Ai, to the point the most interesting point about Akari is the MMD porn videos created by fans. Because apparently the best way to create friendly and popular content is to release a model that wears a leather thong and can be used in animations of her being pounded by a pig.

Shiro

This is the very reason why VR was created

The laughing dolphin Shiro (or Siro / シロ) is probably the less cringey of the Virtual Youtubers, if you don't consider that her voice actress used to make creepy incest binaural videos (that she put proudly in her resume) and she still uses that loli fetish voice to give "range" to her character. Shiro is the example of the rampant masochism in the Virtual Youtuber community as many pay money or spend a lot of time in a lottery to be in her VR sponsored livestreams just to be punched and yelled by her.

One of the reasons why the westerners outside the /jp/ echo chamber are not familiarized with her is because she tried like Kizuna to have her group of voluntary subtitlers, only to have her videos translated by Asians with a poor level of Engrish, which made her videos (unless you speak Japanese) a collection of cryptic mismatches along with walls of dolphin emojis. An unintelligible mess just like her autistic fans.

Nekomasu

Depiction of Nekomasu's life before youtube stardom

The Virtual Nojaloli Fox girl Youtube Man (バーチャルのじゃロリ狐娘youtuberおじさん) also known as Nekomasu is the incarnation of /a/ and /r9k/ (if the latter was able to get a job). Just mentalize a man being so miserable with his life, that he ends working as an employee in a 7-Eleven, where he's berated or treated like shit constantly all day, every single day. So he just has two choices, escapism or death.

Then he chose, instead of hanging himself at Aokigahara and being found by Logan Paul, to become that little and cute anime girl he yearns about. Because that man doesn't have money to resort to cheap tricks like hiring an actress or to buy a device to mask his voice that he simply spill the beans and tell the tragedy of his life white posing like a little fox girl. Surprisingly, this moment of honesty earns Nekomasu lots of subscribers and a sponsorship from a videogame company. So much than he is now in the liberty of giving the finger to their previous employees and enjoy those donations from his fellow weebs.

Unlike several of the virtual youtubers, Nekomasu is aware that is just a fad and he is trying to enjoy it as far as it lasts. Unless this is also a gimmick to get pity money, Nekomasu is one of few ones you don't get upset by finding out he is a trap.

Baacharu

The life a of man with a horse mask it's not easy

One of the few men in this charade (not counting traps), Baacharu (ばあちゃる) was initially an attempt from Shiro's company to test the waters and see if they could earn some money of the Virtual Youtubers and he made videos for a steady time. He was sent to the glue factory once his views and subscribers could not take off.

But as if was a miracle, thanks to Luna shitposting and Kizuna fame, he was able to make a comeback, thanks to fan pressure. If you hate moe and can't stand old women (and old men) posing as middle schoolers, Baacharu is your choice. Unlike the rest of the furries trying to jump into the trend, his videos are genuinely not that autistic (when he's not the butt-monkey of Shiro.)

Yua Fujizaki

This person is dying of terminal old. Please comfort them in their final moments by reminding them they will soon be a rotting corpse that nobody cares about.

Please subscribe

This image is more interesting that all of Yua's videos. No, seriously.

Imagine you have the backing of a serious Japanese talent company. Imagine your design being made by a very important artist, who draws you as a very endowed high schooler. Imagine you're voiced by a talented and somehow famous voice actress. Imagine that you're able to have a release event. Imagine you have the resources to put ads in several digital magazines advertising you. And still not being able to reach 100k subscriptions, have low viewer retention, being surpassed by virtual youtubers that started later than you do, post less videos and several with amateurish designs than yours (including a character that is a ripoff of a Tom of Finland gay cartoon).

That's the case of Yua Fujisaki (藤崎由愛) simply known as YUA. Yua is practically the village idiot of the virtual youtubers, the boundary all aspiring virtual youtubers must trespass in order to become famous. The punch line of the jokes made by both japs and dumbfuckstanis. The retarded and unpopular girl that shows uninvited to the cool kids party.

With boring content, like uninspiring and scripted videos, copying the same trick of other virtual youtubers, dumb memes and like of all people, an Spaniard trying to give her English classes, it's no surprise that YUA is the laughing stock of /jp/, futaba and even Reddit. The only thing in which YUA excels among the virtual youtubers is probably the porn Japanese artists draw of her. Because of her unreal body proportions and especially her massive udders, that she looks more like a Hentai character rather than a 16-years-old anime high schooler. Many aficionados of the Virtual Youtubers suggest that probably YUA would be more successful if she became the first virtual Porntuber instead.

Nijisanji

BREAKING NEWS!! All your investments will be negligible!

Mito and Kaede. No exceptions

100% real High Schoolers

What is the best way to shill your shitty face rig app? By making desperate and unemployed VA to use it while you receive the money! That's the gimmick of Nijisanji, a Japanese company that is taking over the market of the virtual youtubers without doing pesky expenditures (such as buying body tracking devices, motion capture software, 3D modeling, sound recording or even salaries). With a program that can be run on a cellphone, they have infested the market with a plethora of characters ranking from plagiarism of children books' characters to stereotypes found on JAV. Nonetheless the first ones to appear and the most popular by far are the so-called "High-schooler group" (JK組) consisting of a menopausic woman LARPing as a young girl called Rin Shizuka (静凛), A recolor of Doki Doki Literature Club's Monika called Kaede Higuchi (樋口楓) and a sufferer of pica that streams from the laundry room of her house called Mito Tsukino (月ノ美兎). Tsukino is probably the one with the most autistic fandom in both sides of the Pacific Ocean. To the point to issue death threats to anyone (including other Nijisanji vtubers) who dares to mock their beloved manic pixie dream girl.

The Rest

Gotta catch'em all!

When this article was originally conceived, there were less than 20 Virtual youtubers beyond the ones mentioned previously. Now there are more than 400 and daily appear more and more. Many of them follow the tricks and clichés present on anime and manga or it's old people (mainly men) LARPing as lolis. There are virtual youtubers that are ninjas, zombies, skeletons, maids, centaurs, angels, idols, robots, plants, like the sky, their retardation is the limit.

• Sora Tokino and Aoi Fuji : Two "real highschoolers" that mysteriously are a very talented singers with well designed MMD models. At least this is the case of Sora, because Aoi exposed herself as a corporate gimmick and set a crowfunding of 100k US dollars to become "beautiful". Still, The japs threw money at her anyways, and she reached her goal earlier than her intended deadline. Unlike Yua, these two delivered content that satisfied the tastes of their fandom and they were able to surpass her in matter of days.
• Noracat: Obligatory anime catgirl that speaks with a text to speech program. As many suspected, "she" is just a middle age dude using facerig. The man was exposed during a glitch in "her" livestream. Suprisingly, many support "her", despite knowing the truth, probably because many of "her" supporters are trying the same escapist thing.
• Michihiyoko and Alicia: Obligatory "Loli". In the case of Hiyoko, this old woman teaches how to create your own character but you cannot say the same of Alicia that was hyped too much with a slutty model, just to be discovered as a man the very moment "She" opened "her" mouth.
• Gengen: He represents the LGBT inclusiveness. While looking like a character from Bara Hentai, he was created by a japanese fag. Despite not having content that gives away that, it is clearly that Gengen serves as a source of money and the masturbatory material of his creator.
• Nyanners (Powerword: Taylor Terpestra): A horny high on crack/or drunk Vtuber who pretty much would fuck anything in the games she plays, and is pretty shit at it. Surprisely she's far more popular then the others.

To this very day, there are anime and videogame studios considering to switch to the virtual youtubers fad. Why do you have to bother to create cohesive plots and characters, when you just have to put a woman to talk behind an anime girl picture (that it doesn't need to be animated) to gather a loyal audience? Expect all of these people to be unemployed once Japanese system engineers and programmers develop an A.I. that can suck their dicks and do home chores.

How To Troll fans of Virtual Youtubers

Please visit us again.

As with any subset of weebs, the baacharufags are very protective of their waifus and susceptible to any kind of negative content. So they vocally express their discomfort about it in the form of paranoid tantrums, full of conspiratorial nonsense. One of the easiest ways to get multiple responses is by using one of the following tactics:

• Ask them if they really believe AI and CG are advanced enough to post livestreams playing videogames.
• Ask them to translate Japanese material with "Translate weebs"
• Ask them when Funimation is going to release the official dub of Kizuna Ai videos.
• Tell them that the best way to know about the virtual youtubers is from Kotaku, Rocket News 24, Sankaku Complex, Lost Pause, Mother's Basement and The Anime Man.
• Ask them when the first Black American (or Latin American) Virtual Youtuber is going to be released.
• Ask when BaraKaren is going to release a new video.
• State that Ami Yamato is the best of the virtual youtubers because she is a functional person and speak a language almost 70% of the world can understand.
• Declare A.I. Channel videos as the Neon Genesis Evangelion of this generation.
• State that Kizuna Ai is the only Virtual Youtuber that matters and she's the PewDiePie of her category.
• State the above, but instead declare YUA as the queen of Virtual Youtubers.
• Pose the premise that virtual youtubers don't care about overseas fandom and the only moment they are important is when they throw money at them in the Superchat.
• Pose the theory that Moemi is not a Virtual Youtuber, because she don't have a 3D model, that's why nobody makes fanart of her and thus, Yomemi is superior in all aspects. Bonus extra if you deliberately mistake Moemi with Yomemi. Try to do the same by using Nijisanji Vtubers instead of Moemi.
• State that the Virtual Youtubers are nothing more that a gimmick for failed Japanese artists to kickstart their career using pity and crocodile tears.
• Ask them when Eilene is going to deliver the story episodes of Mirai Akari or the 3D Model of Moemi.
• Ask them why Eilene videos are not already reported for copyright infringement and plagiarism.
• Engage on debates that going nowhere about What is a Virtual Youtuber. Expect being accused of being either a Kotaku writer, a poster from /v/ or the writer of this ED article.
• Compare Tokino Sora to YUA, and state it will be a matter of time when Sora will be exposed as a company trying to get pity yens from lonely men.
• Create questions in Akinator targeting the failures of Virtual Youtubers.
• Make subtitles of the virtual youtubers videos with lots of grammatical errors and Engrish and then ask for approval, Then claim there were "vandalized" by SEAs (South East Asians).
• Inquire about why are they so overprotective of CG characters voiced by failed Japanese voice actors, if by considering the roles reversed, they would not care about them.
• Stop referring to fans of Shiro and Sora by their official names (Shirogumi and Soratomo) and instead refer to them as Shirofags and Sorafags.
• Post porn of Tokino Sora, particularly Yuri porn of her with Mirai Akari.
• Ask when Mirai Akari is going to post more bestiality porn.
• Shitpost on the virtual youtuber threads with only posting about Eilene.
• Shitpost on the virtual youtuber threads with only posting in Spanish (Anons of /jp/ are /pol/ hypocrites that demand posts written in 100% Perfect American English despite not speaking Japanese.)
• Tells them that pure Virtual Youtuber they love so much, is not a middle schooler or even a woman at all, but a scam to swindle their money. Prove that by posting R34 of them of that moment when their faces were exposed on a livestream.
• Denounce the rampant corporatism of the virtual youtubers market and try to use the elitist mannerisms of /mu/ at the moment of deriding vtubers endorsed by Kadokawa, Nijisanji and Duo/Entum. State you're only interested on "genuine Vtubers" and how the Vtubers with endorsements are nothing less but in name JAV actresses.
• Send them this article. This applies particularly to /jp/. They discovered an earlier draft of this article and they are deeply offended and hurt about it. As usual, they're acting in a defensive and passive-aggressive way and because of their Constructive criticism, this article was improved. Thanks for the Streisand Effect, /jp/!
