Got back from a 2 week vacation and I've got to say, stepping away from here has really opened my eyes to how terrible this place is now. I know this hobby tends to attracts retards and schizos in equal number but I remember when things were sort of okay. Streams would almost always have active discussion and there was a like a 50/50 chance that dead hours would have interesting discussions with real people instead of schizophrenic caricatures of people. But now? None of that is to be seen. Nearly every stream is plagued with shitposting constantly and usually about someone who isn't even live. Furthermore, deadhours are almost always shit. Any sort of good faith discussion is impossible with any dialogue needing to be wrapped in several layers of ironic fuckery to get any traction. Back on /jp/ and early /vt/, you used to be able to isolate the schizos and raiders and ignore them when they periodically showed up. Now it’s just a constant white noise shitposts, catalogue baiting, and falseflagging that drowns everything out. On top of this, all the good posters and what they post can’t seem to rise above it all. The amount of good OC being posted has decreased, the breadth of fanbases you can encounter now has decreased as they would rather post in their splits now rather than here, and I can’t actually remember the last good conversation I’ve had with anyone here that didn’t have 2 or more dramafags trying to latch onto my post to push their retarded rrats. It’s kind of funny in a way. Way back when I first came here to talk about chuubas I found both /hlg/ and the relatively new /hlgg/. I lurked and posted a bit in /hlg/ thinking it was the main thread for holo discussions, but came to hate it with how restricting the discussions were and how flagrant the antis were there. Global on the other hand allowed me to discuss a wide variety of topics centered around hololive and it felt like discussing with actual fans rather than the hug box drones of reddit/discord or the antis of /hlg/. It was the reason I stuck with /hlgg/ even though I came to have JP oshi. It was just too fun to talk about EN and ID chuubas along with my oshi and other JP members. And even the occasional stars discussion since they tend to get up to some whacky shenanigans every so often. But of course, this was all in the past. This place no longer has that same sort of vibe/energy/atmosphere. This place has more the same speed as twitter now with everyone speaking in strict hyperbole. Or at least that’s how it feels to me. During my vacation, I would peek back in to see how things were going since there have been some notable events in hololive, but every time I looked things only seemed to be getting worse. /hlgg/ seems more defined by what people hate rather than what people like. At this rate, there isn’t much to look forward too ITT these days and I’ve been coming here less and less as a result. There just doesn’t seem to be a good place to talk about hololive anymore. But hey, good for me right? I’m finally breaking free of this place…
TLDR: anyone have a pekolish caption where she says “It’s jork”? or if not, anyone have an image of OG miko with her filthy triangle mouth?
