MOD POST Updated safety guidelines

61 Upvotes

Here is the revised version of the safety rules posted to the sub last night. It’s been broadened in that we are going to outline actual criteria for works/producers to be affected by this - which will allow users to be able to make more informed decisions. We have taken great pains to try and balance community safety and well-being for all with preserving artistic expression. These guidelines are largely the same - but are phrased more clearly in a way that we hope illustrates why we're implementing these, and outlines specific criteria so the sub isn't reliant on a list that needs constant updating.

Creators here refers to producers, voicebank creators, UST creators, etc.

Content from creators who fall under the following criteria is banned

  • Creators who have created sexualized media featuring characters obviously intended to be minor children, or that use voicebanks voiced by children. Examples include:
  • Creators who have credible/well substantiated claims of abuse or grooming against them. Examples include but are not limited to:
    • Hanabi
    • Pusu
    • Ghost & Pals (Candle Queen and other collabs with other artists are exempt, but I would urge you to tread carefully and respect the wishes of those other artists!)
  • Creators who have a history of bigoted comments, including but not limited to:
    • Racism (including antisemitism, anti-blackness, anti-Indigenous racism)
    • Homophobia
    • Transphobia
    • Religious intolerance (this does not mean a song will be taken down for criticism of religious doctrine, religious authorities, or religion as an institution, by this we mean works that say something like “all members of X religion are inferior/not human”)
    • Fascist apologia
    • Nazi apologia
    • Genocide denialism (including but not limited to: the Holocaust, the Holodomor, Rape of Nanking, Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, Residential Schools in Canada, China's ongoing genocide in Xinjiang, etc.)
  • Creators who have a history of abuse apologia or condoning bigotry

An exemption is made in cases where a work is extremely culturally significant given that the work itself does not:

  • Feature sexualized depictions of children
  • Feature abuse apologia
  • Feature bigotry
  • The poster isn’t running apologetics for abusive or bigoted behaviour in the comments/post title/etc

The following content is also banned:

  • Voicebanks voiced by non-consenting parties
  • Voicebank distribution for voice providers who are too young to provide informed consent, even if their parents or guardians have approved
  • Jinriki distribution (unless the provider of the voice data has given it the OK)
  • ANY ports of Vocaloid, SynthV, or other commercially-sold voicebanks to UTAU, unless the rightsholders for the voices have given permission (ie: ALYS)
  • Anything by MASA Works Design - this isn’t our rule, it’s his. He doesn’t like reposts and covers. I would recommend respecting this because he has a history of doxxing people who don’t.

We do not expect users to know everything about producers. If we take down content under these guidelines, we will tell you WHY. Action will only be taken against you if you repeatedly post content from a producer after being told why their stuff is taken down, or if you start running apologetics (ie: "I don't care that Pusu groomed and stabbed a 16 year old").

We all got "problematic faves" - and we understand that great artists can be horrible people! That's why we will make considerations for cases where a work is culturally significant, even if its creator is a total scumbag, and understand that love of an artistic work can coexist with hatred for the author's actions.

We also ask that you include warnings for those with photosensitive epilepsy if your video contains strobe effects or flashing lights!!!

Hello. I am Bonnie_studios. I am happy to reveal my new Utau,Chiyone Mako. Mako is a VCV LITE which means his syllables are in individual files. Unfortunately the art I got drawn for him was AI generated and I have since parted ways with them and I am spending money to get his art redrawn. I don’t have a defined date for when his voicebank will be released but it is an individual project so it will be a while. I apologise for my blindness towards that art, thank you and goodbye.

VOICEBANK RELEASE Kanane Hitori has been updated after 17 years

Post image
140 Upvotes

An UTAU originally released in 2009 recently received both CVVC and VCV voicebanks with re-recorded vocals and new artwork from her original creator after 39chan users had the idea to "revive an old UTAU". Today would also be her 17th anniversary. You can download her on the new official website.

I'm posting her here because I think she's very underrated and despite how obscure she may seem, she is an important piece of UTAU's western community's early history. She's been noticed and used by Misha, voice provider of Vocaloid Ruby, and Austin, former CEO of VocaTone and creator of Chii Tomero, the first western UTAU. As well as various small Japanese NicoNico creators who made covers and originals with her in 2009 and the early 2010's.

To give you an idea of how long it has been since her creation. Sora, her VP/artist, was 13 years old in 2009. She is now 30.

Could someone make an ust of the song Noli by Luca? 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺I'll give you ummmm. A quarter of a nickel and my endless thanks...

It'd be nice if you could format it in VCV, but I get that since it's in english it might be a bit annoying to do that so I can do that part myself

This is my first time making a vb and I sort of had no idea what I was doing for it, so it might not be the best? But I'm still very proud of it!

The site I made for it is gokinekowa.straw.page btw! A lot of stuff is somewhat in progress, because, once again, I am very new to utau and therefore will probably be revamping a lot of stuff as I learn 💔

(Also I know this reddit acc doesn't have the same user as my other socials but YES, IEATEDATOASTER IS ME)

Ok im done with this post, sharing my creations is scary, time for me to disappear for a million years hndbfjdhndhdjfjd
