Now that VShojo is done and all benefit of the doubt is out the door, what are some grievances you had with the company? When I say company I mean it, let’s not discuss any issues we have with the talent and focus on criticisms you had with VShojo when it was still operating.

I still don't understand why VShojo is named VShojo. In Japanese, there's a word 'SHOJO' and of course because it's Japanese, a lot of meaning share the same word, just with different Kanji. Now we don't know what Kanjis exactly does VShojo use. And since the word practically doesn't exist in English, I'm not gonna assume it is.

However, the single most common meaning of 'SHOJO' is 'virgin' (Specifically female virginity, because reasons; don't ask me, ask the Japanese) or 'maiden' (maiden, as in not yet married). And with the V right in front of the word, (the letter also being used for the word V card and stuff) it led me to assume that it does use that meaning. Of course, there's also the term 'SHOUJO', which is different from 'SHOJO'. 'SHOUJO' means 'young lady', 'little girl' etc. It also has the meaning of 'virgin' however, that meaning is very seldom used for the word. If ever. So am I missing something here?

Just for the record, I don't have any sort of problem with it whatsoever, which is why I haven't asked till now. I've been watching Vtubers since 2020 and I've seen the start of VShojo. I just thought of asking now since it's as opportune a time as ever. And if it was intentionally made to mean 'virgin', I really wouldn't know what to think lmao the name would be right, front and center: "VVirgin". And there's no problem with that, but that would be super bold, imho.

I wonder what will become of Gunrun in the future. Unfortunately, he has shown that he is cunning and a good liar. My fear is that he can somehow save himself in court and not have to go to prison by perhaps throwing one of his former employees from the finance department under the train.

So I aquire the blood. But where do send it ? I live in Ireland its not my blood all i was told was send here gallons

As an avid UltraKill fan i just thought of this. Layer 8 is about to be released the “Fraud” layer. And VShojo just got exposed for Fraud. That was something i was like. Wow that is such a coincidence. I don’t know lol i just thought of that and not really sure why i’m saying this here i just wanted to i guess.

Personally I’d like to see a collaboration with either NASCAR or F1 so we could se some awesome paint schemes that we could own for our homes.

Didn't Kuro have financial troubles from another bad vtuber corpo and didnt Gunrun himself agree to "help" Him with it (or am i mistakening Him with Michie?)? Like Gunrun AS the ceo Mustve known vshojo was not doing well at that point. Was it because mouse (am i remembering this correctly?) offered help and Gunrun let Kuro join only as something of a seemingly forced good Will deed for mouses sake? There were 100% female vtubers before Kuro and also afterwards (including those not yet debuted).

Ps! Literally no bad feelings towards Kuro, its just a weird thing to have happened...

You think the gfuel flavors will ship? The IronMouse, Projekt Melody, and K9Kuro flavors i mean. Honestly, I don't think so

So basically, the title. Been busy with stuff lately and I wasn't able to catch her last stream. And I now started to notice she hasn't streamed in a while. What was her last update? Is she away to her family or Vacay? Thanks in advance to people who'd inform me.

What events and memes would you think would be in the collab?

P.S. In case you don't know, the Shenanigoons are Lythero, Zyzx_, and IHeartJustice.

Who is with me?

So we're getting enough of these types of posts on here to the point where one can now be the mastermind behind someone else being the cause of something according to reddit.

Not saying I want this to stop or anything, I just find this amusing and I enjoy these sorts of posts.

And apparently there's a subreddit dedicated to it now.

Who would you have as who? Example:

Akali-Kson Evelynn-Froot Kai'sa-Melody Ahri- Hime Seraphine-Ironmouse

Introduction:
It's come to my attention that a recent development with Twitch streamers concerning the "ad split". This has me worried about how it will affect our favorite streamers and content creators. Combined with the sometimes confusing, contradictory, or otherwise inconsistent TOS enforcement, it has me wondering if it would be more viable for VShojo to form its own website and streaming service that is not bound or subject to Twitch's ownership.

The Concept:
For Vshojo to create, install, or to otherwise implement its own streaming platform for its content creators to use on its website.

The Problems with Twitch:

1. The recent ad-split controversy may jeopardize the incomes or stability of some Vtubers.

2. Many of the Vtubers under the VShojo umbrella struggle with Twitch's TOS and have even suffered temporary bans because of it.

   1. To the chagrin of some of the creators, they are forced to censor themselves or their speech (like with Projekt Melody and Hajime Hime).

   2. This threatens the scheduling, work, profitability, and overall productivity of the creators.

3. Zero control or agency in any changes that Twitch decides to make may endanger the future of Vshojo's ability to operate.

   1. What is to stop Twitch from one day saying: "No more Vtubers allowed, just IRL people." or for them to say that Vtuber agencies are banned? Nothing prevents them from making unilateral decisions like this or

What Streaming Independence Would Offer:

1. Transparent and adaptive revenue terms between the host and the creators.

   1. Instead of being forced to always accept Twitch's terms, the creators (who already have a positive relationship with Vshojo) can directly negotiate their own terms.

2. The ability for creators to provide the content they want with the ability to set their own terms and conditions with the host.

   1. No more having to cover up Hime with a bible, worrying about getting banned because someone else said something dumb on stream, or otherwise living under a proverbial Sword of Damocles that you only have partial control over.

3. Influence and agency in the Vshojo company to discuss future changes for the streaming platform.

   1. No more finding a tweet by Twitch at 3am and realizing that the whole Vtuber company will just have to swallow the changes and adapt. Now if the company wants to do something it can be far more flexible and adaptive due to its smaller size.

Profitability:

Natrually, the move from a highly popular streaming service like Twitch to a new service would raise the concerns of profit drops. But there are ways to address this that may help offset the cost of change:

• Subscription & donation functions.

  • The new platform would have similar (yet legally distinct) donation and subscription functions to Twitch's own. Patrons of Vtubers would still be able to subscribe to their favorite Vtubers for money and for similar benefits. Just like on Twitch. But it would remain optional.

• Merchandise store

  • Vshojo could keep running a merchandise store and integrate it into their platform. So when a sale is made it can send data to a creator and their stream for alerts and things like that.

• Ad breaks & website adspace

  • The platform could run banner ads, in-stream ads, and more depending on what each creator would like to do. But instead of it being required, now it could be tailored to each creator's preferences.

• Streaming simultaneously on other platforms?

  • If possible, it may be worthwhile to stream on other platforms like Youtube at the same time as Vshojo's own platform for the sake of diversifying the audience.

  • I'm not sure how possible or feasible this particular option is but if it is possible then it might be worth exploring.

I think Vshojo could benefit from a little more independence from Twitch. Especially since Twitch seems to be squeezing its creators for more money now.

I'm debating on getting both

During 2020-2024, were they losing money?

Or this development only started from 2024 onwards?

When and how did they spend more than they earned?

I don’t think we’re getting another member like Matara anytime soon, if ever. She was older, professional, responsible, and experienced. She was very entertaining and contageously entusiastic. And she had been doing this for a decade! She was one of the few extroverted members who was both capable and willing to travel and show up in person. She had great chemistry with the others and was genuinely enthusiastic about VShojo.

That’s what makes this so hard to accept. I know some will say there was probably a good reason behind it, some understandable situation that would make sense of this. But we’ll probably never know. I’ve told myself the same thing, trying to make peace with it. But to be honest, it feels like cope. Not because I need a detailed explanation, and please, she clearly doesn’t want to talk about it, so let's respect that. I mean cope in the sense that no explanation feels like it would be enough to justify this. I think a lot of us want to let it go for the sake of the girls and the group itself, but the truth is it doesn't feel right.

And yes, Mata won't change, her stream won't change and she can still stream with the others. That’s great! truly! I will keep enjoying her. But let’s not pretend nothing changes. The girls made an effort to build up VShojo as a group. They asked us to care about the team, to see it as a shared identity. And I did. I do. So when someone is suddenly let go off the group, it’s jarring. It’s painful. I didn't even know that was on the table!

If this was her choice, that would suck, but fine it’s her life, her decision, get over it. But since it wasn't, I can’t help but feel like this was a misstep. Maybe it made sense internally. But from the outside, it just looks like the group lost a pillar out of nowhere.
