My reaction to the backlash at Mori doing the Gachiakuta OP

Syrc @lemmy.world 1w ago

You said “She hadn’t deleted it yet I think, and I don’t know if she plans on it anytime soon.” so I thought you were talking about the tweets, did you mean the account or something else?

She did delete them afaik, they were all from 2014 and her past account shows no tweets prior to 2017.

Rockstar Games Employee Calls Out Studio For Spreading “Disinformation and Lies”, Union Busting

I think they’re planning to take legal action, not sure through which means though

The union remains unbowed and is fighting to win the reinstatement of every dismissed member of staff at Rockstar through legal means and campaigning.

I you would be so kind, you can contribute to the fundraiser to support those fighting their dismissal here: https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-rockstar-workers-fighting-unfair-dismissals/

As for Ishii: “Social media was being social media” sums up how much you care on that front.

I didn’t minimize what happened. I just asked if Sucker Punch had any role in that since I wouldn’t boycott a game just because there’s assholes in its fanbase.

Sucker Punch fired one of their senior devs for a mario and luigi joke when kirk got got. EVERYONE was angry, the studio heads came out to say they stand by their decision, and plenty of people were keyed in to the hell that Erika Ishii has had to put up with on social media for daring to portray a female character in a video game.

(I didn’t know about any of this before this comment so apologize if I’m misinterpreting)

From what I read though, there were A LOT of angry people even because of the joke, weren’t there? I’m guessing they had to take a stance and went with the “killing is bad” to not get too politically involved. Which is still a coward move, but personally not something I’d boycott a game over.

What happened with Erika Ishii? Social media was being social media and I know that, but did Sucker Punch themselves do anything to contribute to that?

Was this meant to be a reply to a comment? Because it currently shows as a top-level one

Different people, probably. And a company can change a lot in 7 years (in recent times, usually not for the better).

Korone on temporary hiatus to focus on family care

Syrc @lemmy.world 2w ago

Damn, manager post, I fear the situation is not good…

Iirc her close family is pretty old so it shouldn’t really be a surprise, but it’s still a shame. Hopefully it doesn’t end up being anything serious, wishing her and her family good luck.

Hideo Kojima Faces Backlash from Turkish Nationalists Over Photo with ZeroCalcare

Syrc @lemmy.world 2w ago

Whoops, saw the edit late.

Edit: or maybe a better question would be why would anyone in a position to have Kojima arrested care about the opinion of Turkish nationalists?

I’m guessing it’s just Turkish journalists wanting to make the issue bigger than it actually is. There’s no chance Kojima would be arrested over a photo, and Zero even mocked the idea in his response.

The biggest irony is that they know, and they used her as a “gotcha” saying “Kojima was criticizing child soldiers with her character and now is supporting the PKK!” …without considering that he was also criticizing something much wider.

Syrc @lemmy.world 2w ago

The backlash was probably too big to ignore without taking a clear political stance, and since it’s a very debated topic (not even the EU itself can actually decide whether it’s a “terrorist organization” or not) they probably decided it was better to remove the photo.

The post by Zero’s publisher is still up so it’s not like he wants it scrubbed, it’s probably just to avoid a PR nightmare. Could’ve been more brave but I don’t blame him tbh.

Announcement Regarding Akai Haato’s Condition and a Warning Against the Spreading of Rumors

Miko also addressed it as well, since Mikochi was name-dropped.

Was she? I thought people just made the connection because she was talking about people holding parties.

Syrc @lemmy.world 3w ago

Man… I just found out about the whole thing about the stream from two days ago, and regardless of what was true or false, she’s definitely not in a good spot and needs help.

Hopefully she gets the help she needs and can find peace, whether she wants that to be within Hololive or not.

Twitch x hololive production Collaboration Online Event “holoday”

Syrc @lemmy.world 3w ago

Also Calliope has said before that she will not be on twitch if anyone is wondering. I’m sorry for the X link, but someone clipped it there https://xcancel.com/LC_Lapen/status/1983360390328422468

That's... kinda harsh? I mean, I get not wanting to stream on Twitch (or on any of the current "popular" alternatives like Kick), but what if a decent competitor eventually shows up? Maybe even something propped up by Hololive, as they could have a lot to gain by not having their memberships and superchats cut by Youtube?

Twitch as the platform, nothing new really. It’s bad, but it’s always been bad.

Thing is TwitchCon happened this month and it was a PR disaster, even specifically for VTubers.

The fact that the leading site in the streaming industry routinely screws its top earners while being literally owned by Amazon means they just don’t care about anything except the money (and they’re pretty bad at earning that, too).

Well… “bad timing” is an understatement.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong and they can all go on like it never happened (except maybe Twitch could understand the potential audience and get their shit together, but if they didn’t do it with Ironmouse as their top streamer I doubt this will change anything).
