>>107181367The "gotcha" comes from the fact that this shows Pippa is full of shit. She doesn't believe any of the things she used to say. "Who cares? You think she believes she is an actual rabbit? Or Pekora? You think Shiina thinks she is a star crab banana?" You may say, but here is the thing: that's kayfabe, part of the act, politics is a very real thing that honestly shouldn't be part of vtubing but retards like Pippa pioneered it (she even might have been the first) and because it's a real thing people didn't have a reason to believe she was lying unlike kayfabe related stuff. She chose to lie to her audience, spawn a legion of grifters in the process and we can even get to say "well, she is a mentally ill schizo, that's why she did it" nope, it was all calculated, all for money and clout. You can defend her all you want or throw the ultimate female cope of "come on girls, we've all done it amirite?" But I can call her out for it. And when I see faggots like Mujin, Rima and Parrot I get reminded "oh yeah they saw how profitable drama and politics are in vtubing, a hobby about FUCKING ANIME GIRLS BEING CUTE because of Pippa. They exist because of that bitch". Without her they'd have probably still be grifting, but as fleshies, away from my sight. But ranting aside what's done is done and we live on this timeline, doesn't mean I can't vent about it. If you are a Capipi all the power to you, and I have no problem admiting it: "Pippa won"
