The production company WePlay Studios has announced that they are refusing to continue producing the largest VTuber awards show in the world, claiming that the founder and host of the award show, the large indie VTuber Filian, is colluding with the Russian Federation and the republic of Belarus, which goes against their values as a company founded in Ukraine. Speculation has already begun as to what exactly the company could be considering as collusion, but there is no definitive answer as of yet

Looks like it was a learning russian stream with smugalana and this russian chick.
Apparently the comments are saying she worked in the russian military at some point.
Filian probably made a dumb joke that pissed off twitter and they yelled at the production guys until they dropped her.

>INDEI HAVE MORE FREEDOM


KeK!!!

>>103155382
>Actual tankie
Deserved. Filian finally isn't getting away with it

>>103155442
Indies have more freedom...to get their funds stripped away and sponsors pulled. Kek

>>103155183 (OP)
>>103155382
incredibly retarded

>>103155183 (OP)
Oh no not the heckin' vtuber awards! It's a pillar of the entire industry!

>>103155183 (OP)
That's what happens when you stick more and more with the /pol/tards of the vtuber space. Many of the loud ones parrot Russian propaganda targeted at Burgerland audience.

>>103156435
>Russian propaganda targeted at Burgerland audience.
Why would any country target propaganda at americans?

>>103155183 (OP)
You sure they didn't cancel because their Vshojo bribe money is not happening anymore?

>>103156501
I don't understand how VShojo fits into all of this

>>103155183 (OP)
Obviously this is a cop out excuse, they probably lose a shit load of money doing this and other events, and cut one short.
Or Vshitshow was bankrolling them entirely.

>>103156500
No, it's a thing. Our politics are fucked up right now, but it's also entirely unrelated to vtubers or goddamn Filian of all people.

How did this board turn to /pol/ in like 10 minutes?

>>103155183 (OP)
Nobody gives a shit about Ukraine anymore, these guys waited too long to pull this grift.

>>103156525
It's /vt/ all drama is obviously related. Don't worry, they will find how to somehow make it about anyone

>>103156599
They are based in Ukraine (one of two offices) and that stuff happened like a month ago at most. Pretty sure they do, burgerchama

>>103156599
The Ukraine war seems like it will end soon anyway
Their president recently announced they are accepting men 60 and over as "volunteers" for combat, also women

>>103156525
Did you just not watch any of the VTAs where its obvious they're getting paid by vshojo to shill their vtubers and win awards

>>103155183 (OP)
Damn they got so butt hurt over one collab

>>103156713
The meme is "Holo sweep" not "Vshojo sweep". And the whole point of VShojo collapsing was that they have no money

>>103156755
Oh so we are just memoryholing it now
You sure were proud to brag about it for years until now huh

>>103156751
Some indie vtuber claimed one of the Russians Filian collabed with was in the military and/or worked for their defense industry

>>103155183 (OP)
lmao fuck ukraine

>>103156816
nta honestly confused. VTAs have only been around two years and last year at the time it happened vshojo had no money left. they literally could not pay an awards show off even if they wanted to

>>103156816

>>103155183 (OP)
what's wrong with russian collabs?

>>103156905
You are not allowed to treat ziggers like human beings. You must be political, you must pick a side, you must treat anyone from Russia or Palestine like a demon.

>>103156869
I do remember swarmfags bitching about how doki somehow bribed filian to let her win the best fanbase award.

Made even funnier after the awards where she said she hopes we never win again, because if we have to act up again it means something bad happened.

>>103156905
Perhaps the fact that Russia has been shelling their country? (that org was Ukrainian)

>>103155183 (OP)
Oh no...anyway, fuck ERB.

oh no
now who will give all the awards to Hololive talents who aren't even allowed to show up or accept them?

>>103157140
Epic Rap Battles?

>>103155382
>Filian does/says something retarded that blows up in her face
It's the only thing she's good at

>>103157154
All of the holos who won awards fled the company and are indie now I'm pretty sure

>>103157220
Fuwamoco left?

Is this the non/pol/ thread?
I think fillian sucks.

>>103157220
Pekora left?

Ukrainians and Russians are the same and aren't human beings

>>103157482
>>103157649
I don't keep up with japs, all of Hololive's presence in the West left with Gura Ame and Fauna

>>103157722

Slavs are just White Mongol hapas
t. slav

>>103157722
Saddest falseflag attempt ever

>>103155382
She didn't just work for the Russian military, she literally produced propaganda videos for them before becoming a vtuber. Including videos in Mariupol.

>>103155183 (OP)
Fuck Ukraine and their President Zapp Brannigan.

>>103155183 (OP)
Everything went to shit when putin didn't steamroll ukraine's army in 2022 and we've had to pretend ukraine isn't a shithole since then

>>103156500
Because it works especially well on them.

Lol is this real

>>103155382
I thought they're overreacting, but that chuuba is literally wearing an emblem still used by the forces currently waging a devastating and needless war of conquest. I guess Filian has been bad at business before, considering she doesn't even have the rights to her model.

>>103156705
Yeah and just last week we got videos of a Russian woman, a guy on a horse and a one legged guy getting droned.
That's just what war between slavs is like.

>>103155183 (OP)
the vtuber awards was retarded as fuck anyways. It was just a shitty popularity contest instead of giving awards to people who actually deserved then.

>>103158120
Current Russian forces still wear the crest of the USSR?

>>103158170
Sending drones behind lines to strike rural civvies and rear logistic troops who aren't usually armed is something that Ukrainians have been doing for awhile now

>>103158072
There was a time when, if you couldn't win a war, you would surrender and spare the lives and livelihoods of your people. Now, you can just sit back and luxuriate in foreign money while your country is depopulated - and be celebrated for it.

>>103155183 (OP)
Very petty reason to quit over.
Businesses like this don't last.

>>103158316
Ukraine president is trying to court Indian and African migrants to repopulate the country

>>103158101
Yup. Filian is dumber than a pile of horse shit.

>>103155183 (OP)
kek, never do business with ukes

>>103158072
instead hundreds of russgroids are turned into fertilizer every day
the good timeline

>>103158101
Yeah imagine tanking your business cause a vtuber talked to another Russian despite the awards being ran by Ukrainians(Russians)

>>103158262
All modern hats were stoled by Grisha to pay for his golden toilet

>>103155183 (OP)
Wtf

>>103158297
>rural civvies and rear logistic troops who aren't usually armed
The videos are still up on combat footage and maybe /k/, all of them were armed, even the one legged guy. And the horse was loaded up with mortar ammunition.

I mean let's be real Ukraine isn't even a real country

>>103158997
I've seen plenty of drone videos where the people are unarmed, already wound and/or just fleeing while dropping all of their kit so they can run faster

Russia is just the old soviet union painted a different color. Since when have fucking commies been "based"?

>>103158262
NTQ Well some of them, not in any official capacity, just the same kinda retards that have nazi/ussr/confederate/mlp/whatever failed local or foreign state ect. shit you can find in every army around the world, however with a significantly higher concentration and it's not just the youngins toting that shit around.

>>103159036
it's been created by Lenin what do you expect

>>103159072
Yeah, they should let them go so they can grab a rifle again, right? After all a soldier automatically stops being one when he drops his weapon, just like in my movies.

>>103159182
Correct, they stop being a soldier and become a deserter awaiting execution

>>103159078
nigger lefties march through the entire NA and Europe with rainbow flags but its Russia who controlled by le evil communists.
rumao. take meds

>>103158432
No, that company is retarded. This is the petty vtuber equivalent to this

>>103156905
russians are subhuman

>>103158316
but enough about POZzia

>>103159803
Well those subhumans are beating you, despite all the cia training, western cash, arms, and "mercs"

>>103155183 (OP)
This could only happen to filian. It's kind of hilarious. Can they just get Russians to produce the thing now?

>>103157076
Ukrainians despise each other. It's just for optics.

>>103155183 (OP)
>>103159934
What I'm curious about is that this group also produced events for OTK (they even have a pinned tweet about it). Considering Filian is part of Mythic (and I think it even helped with some things in at least the last VTA), I wonder whether Asmonbald is going to react to this at all? I feel as though this is the kind of thing he'd be jumping on but I wonder whether it'd be enough to stop using them in support?

>>103155183 (OP)
what a bunch of pussies

>>103155015
Look at the number of deleted posts in this thread

>>103160190
Asmon's positions on Ukraine have shifted to something way worse than Filian collabing with a Russian, when last I heard him talk about it. Really weird for them to start here, considering how much business they do with OTK.

>>103159182
They use POW's to film drone videos. That's what USAID pays them for. It's just business.

>both reddit and twitter are on her side this time
what a timeline

This is no different than when payment when twitch and youtube refused to give russian creators payouts, you're attacking the people instead of Pootin.

>>103160519
Well because it's so blatantly retarded. Collabing with two ethnically Russian chuubas who don't even live in Russia is the most they have. They keep bringing up a collab with a current Russian who's part of the defence industry but from everything I can see it's not even happened, it was apparently just something Filian suggested might (and that last bit I can't even find proof of, just what they're saying).

>proceed to fight another war to getting cancelled cause the general populace is still getting fed propaganda for the Ukrainian and Russian conflict
Jeez, and I thought the main political subject was imminent internet censorship and de-anonymization
If she does a flip the people will forget about this btw

>>103160824
She probably is relieved. The awards are a lot of work and after vshojo folded it's just going to be all hololive

>>103160824
oh no, another company will sponsor it and this will be forgotten in a few weeks. it's truly over for filian this time sisters

>>103160519
Can they replace the company and produce the program for her? If not they are just a bunch of useless

>>103160824
Filian is an example of why some vtubers unironically need managers. She's historically existed on the edge of mainstream appeal and the more edgy side of vtubing, and frankly, you can't do both. It's going to bite you in the ass eventually. She actually needs someone to sit her down and help her manage her brand or she's just going to keep having problems like these.

>>103161555
you mean 32 months?
bad with math or something?

>>103161642
He is right though

>>103161666

Filian sure is intelligent

>>103161729
good luck whining about Taiwan in 2028

>>103161730
arr rook same

>>103161730
Filian never even collabed with the Russian they are mad about, it was some other Russian

>>103162192
>Ended up as collateral damage from an unrelated flare up through sheer stupidity
Sasuga Filian

>>103157722
Gigi also won an award, iirc. And I don't even watch her.

>>103161730
The company fell for the rumoa about her having collab with the said russian vtuber. On the other hand asmon is a known grifter but you know they would rather go bankrupt than severing ties with otk kek.....

>>103155183 (OP)
Filian should have been blacklisted after being outed as a thief anyway

>>103155382
>>103158120
Same. I thought this was the usual "corpo overreacts to a nothingburger" but she's literally wearing the soviet emblem, and other anons are mentioning that she used to make russian propaganda videos . Even if we give Fillian the benefit of the doubt, this is a pretty strong argument for why producers or managers become important after you grow beyond a certain size.
Communists and authoritarian sympathizers can gargle my ballsacks

>got permission by Jingo to make merch

the reason Jingo didn't sue her is because she had written permission to make merch and would probably fuck her in court

>>103162538

That a different person she never collabed with

I would call this virtue signaling usually but they are literally from Ukraine so it's understendable.

Anyone played Stalker 2? Is it good?

>>103162192
If you look through the tweets of those supporting this, that actual Russian chuuba (she's never collabed with) is only an excuse they pulled out of their asses at the last minute. Looking back it really was just the SmugAlana + 'whichever-other-chuuba' collab they're mad about because they were teaching Filian some Russian. They just really hate any ethnic Russian even if they're living in the West and haven't set foot back home since childhood.

>>103162817
I only enjoy Stalker for its memes

>>103162688
You mean more nendos than gamersupps cups? Or what?

>>103162938
>They just really hate any ethnic Russian even if they're living in the West and haven't set foot back home since childhood.

Based honestly.

t:finfag

>>103160190
It was on his twitter during stream today, so he has seen it, but he usually give this kind of thing a few days before he talks about it

>>103162953
she talked about it on stream 2-3 weeks ago
apparently she got permission by Jongo o make merch in general as long as she doesn't go over a certain number
she thought if she made less nendos than cups it'd be okay and didn't expect Jingo to crash out

>>103162610
...a retard is a subhuman, you mongoloid nafaggot

>>103163157
Actually to add onto this, wtf is retard anon's point? The cat's are at fault for a nation's decision? Are you that mentally disabled?

Giga retarded.
Play thr previous installations of the game, pripyat is nice

>>103163111
the fact she still hasnt gotten her own model makes her retarded, she wlil forever be chained to jingo's demands if she does merch

>>103162938
>They just really hate any ethnic Russian even if they're living in the West and haven't set foot back home since childhood
As they should.

This is retarded but I fucking hate Filian's Russia pandering so hopefully this spooks her into stopping that.

Lmao, and the purging of the thread keeps going. Jannies, it would be easier if you just ban the retard slavecucks.

Oh look the /k/ nafaggots are here, how's seething over Russia going boys? And only boys because that's all you'll ever be

>>103156500
Unironically many conservatives and Republican-aligned voices have sided with Putin in the Ukraine conflict over the last few years. If you told an old school Republican that the GOP would be the pro-Russian party in the new 20s he'd laugh in your face before gunning you down for being a red sympathizer.

>>103162321
But she was collabing with Russian vtubers

>>103163501
Putin went to Dubya's inauguration, it was during the Obummer years relations with Russia declined.

>>103159072

Wave a white flag at the drone operator or something. If he obeys the laws of war he'd take you as a POW. Then again, this is slavic warfare after all.

People saying VTA got the VShojo money bag doesn't make sense when half of the awards were given to Hololive. Hell Fuwamoco won over Mousey in the Best VTuber category and Holo org won over VShojo org in the Best Agency category. If what Vei claimed is correct, then there is no way Gunrun would allow this

>>103163993
It was fan voted, dumbass

>>103164104
They used the VGA system where fans have a small portion of voter weight but the end result is decided by an event committee.Otherwise Hololive would have just swept everything and Dokibird would have won VotY (she was ineligible because of her previous awards).

Hoooly that's a lot of deleted posts
>>103164369
source?

>>103162817
Their Russian devs all went back to Russia so only thing they had left is random grifters with a predictable outcome.

>>103164369
this is wrong, they use fan vote. This isn't like other awards chose whether there are chosen delegates

>>103155382
Lmao this can NOT be real

I am Russian and this situation makes me sad, for years I've been actively hiding that I am Russian as much as possible. One moment sticks out to me, because, couple of years ago in a Dicksword server I trusted I opened up about being Russian and was immediately called Vatnik by several members. I decided to try to report them to mods to try to get them a slap on the wrist as the server had a rule against political discussions, against prejudice and etc. They just told me prejudice against Russians isn't real.

>>103167387

He has made it very clear multiple times that he doesn’t react and avoids topics that hurts his business interests. This is one of those things that he will avoid talking about so it doesn’t fuel the fire since he still has friends in OTK and he works with mythic.>>103163037
