Do you have proof that this is fiction? I don’t think so. There’s no proof that it isn’t either, sure, but this sub is mainly just for laughs and the story doesn’t require being true for it to be funny.

Coming into threads and posting stuff like that is like going into malls at Christmas just to tell kids that santa isn’t real. (Or worse, since you don’t even know if you’re right in this case).

No, they’re right. Even after reading the article, it just assumes he voted, but there’s no confirmation.

In fact, The Guardian reports that he voted on Wednesday, so he effectively didn’t vote yet when this article was posted.

Assuming she’s telling the truth, this is pretty good imo: she said she got diagnosed with PTSD so I guess she’s getting psychiatric help, which she absolutely needed from what we know, and she seems to have realized that acting on a whim like she did in her final days at Hololive is something she should get rid of if she doesn’t want to dig herself into an even deeper hole.

Hopefully she’ll sort out her issues and manage to go back to streaming/singing, she’s got talent and it’s a pity she had to ruin everything for lack of self-control.

So in the end we’ll never know what was true and what was false.

Eh, that’s a pity but it’s not like it bothers me that much, I’ve laughed at some Rushia clips and still listen to some Mafumafu songs, but they’re not really people I actively follow so whatever. I wish both of them good luck for future relationships, I guess.

ah, yes. Such reliable sources of info. I’m sure her antis aren’t going into those communities spreading doubt.

Of course I don’t believe blindly everything I read there. I heard the cheating story multiple times but I always shrugged it off (and will keep on doing it) since there was no proof.

And of course Vshojo can’t fire her for that, it’s not illegal or anything. It’s just a post on twitter, nothing legally binding about it. Still, I think she should’ve given priority to addressing that, instead of baseless rumors about her relationships (which honestly, even if they were true, are none of our business).

I don’t follow dramatubers either, I just get some info from this lemmy community or the corresponding subreddit.

And if she didn’t have the money she shouldn’t have made that post. Even just opening her twitter she has a LOT of posts with 30k likes or more, did she expect less from a post like that?

And that was just the first mistake, she doubled down by not making any public statement about it. Which sure, wouldn’t have mattered for the antis, but neither does this document about her relationships. Still, she preferred “clearing” herself of a baseless rumor rather than owning up to a mistake she might’ve made.

That’s not how you should act as a 400k-followers Internet personality. People are not divided between fans and antis, and even if they were, they can change their mind. I’d wager more people stopped being her fans over a missed donation than over a guy online spamming that she cheated on him (again, without any decent proof of that).

Sure, she didn’t steal any money, but pledging to make a (pretty big) donation and then never addressing the situation ever again is a pretty bad thing to do.

If the problem was about the specific charity she could’ve just donated to a different one, I heavily doubt that was the issue. Not making any public statement after all this time is basically telling people you lied and don’t want to donate (Again, I never watched a single stream of hers so I don’t know anything besides the occasional drama that pops up outside the VShojo sphere, but that’s definitely the impression it gives me).

I’m assuming it’s because there isn’t much she could say besides “it’s not true”. You can’t really “prove” that you didn’t cheat on your husband 20 years ago.

And honestly, might just be me, but I don’t really care that much if it happened or not. I just find it odd that both sides are accusing each other of pretty bad stuff, but neither actually brought the case to court. Makes me think they probably both benefit from the full story not being known.

Preface: I know next to nothing about any VShojo talent that isn’t Kson or Henya. Only read some stuff about the others on the Vtuber sub and other places. Correct me if I’m getting things wrong.

The document doesn’t really say anything about her cheating, right? And if we were to believe what she’s saying, it wouldn’t even be the worst thing about that relationship.

Isn’t this just a “he said she said” situation? Neither party brought any definite proof, right? Why is everyone here so sure that she’s the one in the wrong?

(And tbf, even if she actually cheated on her husband for no reason, I think the charity thing is still far more damning. Like, you post something like that, get 50k likes and never talk about it again? Did she think people would just forget about it?)

The definitions of several concepts are fuzzy, and therefore can be circumvented or challenged or abused by all sides of the equation.

They are, but it’s not like they’re very definite nowadays either.

What is a ‘similar product’ that is allowed after 30 years (and therefore what is a ‘dissimilar product’ that would be forbidden before),

I’d say “similar product” is anything that doesn’t try to pass off as the original one, and is mechanically different enough. Palworld for example, or all the other Pokéclones that popped up in recent years.

how would a non-profit that just pays high salaries to its managers fare between the marks of 30 and 50 years (and just gives some little money to research or charity).

They wouldn’t, in that period I’d allow stuff like piracy or free cultural events, stuff like that. Obviously the copyright holder would still be able to profit off of their own products, but everyone else would have to ask them to do so.

And again, why give artists and creative companies so much more time of IP protection than we give STEM inventors and companies time in patents (this random site claims patents last 15 to 20 years only) ?

Because those are things that humanity needs to progress. I do think they could be longer in a different way, like “they can be used by anyone without consent from the inventor, but they need to pay a small percentage in royalties” or something like that, just to ensure they have a permanent source of income that’s enough to live off. I’m not knowledgeable enough about that to talk though, so I can’t really answer that question without going into baseless speculations.

I still think if copyright laws weren’t so oppressive, 50 years would be fair (And still a huge improvement from the current situation).

Maybe have it in tiers or something? First 10 years: full copyright - until 30: similar products allowed, but no blatant reproduction - until 50: reproduction allowed as long as it’s not for-profit - post 50: public domain?

If we’re talking PvP, battling has constantly evolved through new abilities, even without gimmicks the way the game is played changed a lot through the years.

In single player they also changed a lot of stuff since gen 4, although the positive changes were mostly in gen 5/6 and the later ones like wild areas and the switch to “””open world””” were… not as well received.

However Pokemon came out in 96, that’s 28 years. There’s been very little innovation in their games since.

First, not really, there’s been a LOT of innovation in Pokémon, as much as people want to deny it.

And second, 28 years is really not that much. We’re not in the Disney realm of copyright-hogging, I think 50 years is a fair amount of time. The issue is that it’s often way too broad: it should protect only extremely blatant copies (i.e. the guy who literally rereleased Pokémon Yellow as a mobile game), not concepts or general mechanics. Palworld has a completely different gameplay from any Pokémon game so far, and (most of) the creatures are distinct enough. That should suffice to make it rightfully exist (maybe removing the 4/5 Pals that are absolute ripoffs, sure).

It’s the studio Nintendo chose as lead developer for BDSP.

I can’t think of a single first-party Nintendo game that’s released riddled with bugs in recent memory

Literally Pokémon. SwSh, SV and BDSP are all a bug-ridden mess. You will probably find more bugs playing SV for an hour than in all gen 3-6 games together.

Although yeah, it’s a (huge) anomaly and the rest of the first-party games are extremely polished. It just sucks to be a Pokémon fan in the 2020s.

Is this what they call “Crowfunding”?

Correction: A previous version of this article mistook the Austrian flag for the German flag. We’ve edited the article to reflect this.

…how does that happen, exactly? They’re not really similar lol

Anyway dammit dang it, the article made me even more envious… hope we’ll see one of these in Europe too, someday!

The person claiming this is @TheBestFigen. And who is that? Why are they reporting this? You don’t trust random sources on twitter for news.

Idk but they have more than a million followers. If someone with that reach posts misleading information it’s good to correct it.

I mean, I’m not completely against that… but Crowdstrike is an American company. Did you comment on the wrong post?
