>>81454750uuuuu I can't believe she's going already!!
I do honestly think that Koinu played a big part in cementing /choc/ as a mainstay on the board.
Her first collab as Kurai with Charlotte during her donothon last year marked the first of many specifically targeted brown girl collabs, which brought a lot of them together and allowed them to develop friendships among one another.
The positive feedback loop of /choc/s existence influenced /here/ chuubas like her to reach out and connect with their fellow brown vtubers and break the ice, which then solidified us as more than just a fad or gimmick thread. We're here to stay because they legitimized us.
You would be hard pressed to find any thread on the board that has had as much success as we have with bringing vtubers together. Koinu was part of this and I know that in her future reincarnation she'll be just as eager to link up with chocolate cuties.
