TFW no animatronic paper waifu

I love the self-improvement club bros. They are such bros.

It's a word.

I find it's a pretty healthy development in what is basically a branch of the idol industry.

It has enabled indies, and the people doing it have a way better chance at maintaining a healthy work/life balance than idols of old. They can literally "unplug" and live a personal life that they can make as separate or involved as they like.

There's no bullshit about physical appearances like fashion, weight watching, age...

And it's been a delight to see the biggest player, hololive, actually allowing talent to take care of themselves when push come to shove, rather than going through humans like they're some kind of consumable.

But this, taking an IP with established fictional characters, and having them become vtubers? This feels weird.

I'm not sure what it adds? People stick with vtubers because as "unreal" as they are, we genuinely like the people behind the avatars.

Yes, it's acting and performing, but also not. I'm not sure how "hello I'm a character from that franchise you like" would work.

As a big fan of Holo, I'm kinda worried, and annoyed that they'd risk it, that this will affect the character. I don't want to see a fantasy goddess try and fit into the real world, and I'm a little scared of what the real world might turn her into.

Federation is borked atm but I occasionally do post over there.

No shit. Only reason I bring it up is as a way to illustrate how badly I do not want this.

What a world we live in, when there's a possibility my use of a private matrix server between family, might become criminal.

Obviously. The point is that it's the kind of thing that will make me reject the very society I'm living in, and I would change it wholly to avoid this.

If the source was my own government, for the first time in my life, I'd be considering moving to a new country.

This. There are already plans on expanding what the surveillance is used for, as soon as it is possible to begin with.

"Think of the children" is just the trick they're using to get their foot in the door. It being utterly ineffective in doing what they claim it'll do, is irrelevant.

This is a level of bullshit that will straight up make me vote to leave the EU.

Outlawing E2EE should just not be a thing. It just shouldn't.

What are you using to browse? The default webUI de-duplicates cross-posts, most apps do not yet.

Like for real!! I was a semi-lurker on reddit. Posted a couple times a year.

I just passed 500 posts on Lemmy.

TFW a wifi transfer literally loads files from your phone faster than a fucking cable.
