The thing is, she's not identified as Phase by majority of people who watch her. People watch her as Pipkin Pippa, not Pippa of Phase connect. She doesn't really appear to most people as "Phase connect representative" Compare that to any Hololive talent and it's hard to separate the talent from company
Which is kinda ironic as when she toned it down, i actually found myself moving away from her. Not that shes doing anything wrong in my eyes, just a different time ig? I wish her the best either way.
I think it's more she's putting more responsibility on herself than is realistic. Like she's assuming that if she "does something stupid" then all of Phase is going to suffer for it, and while yeah there will be some of that I don't think it would be as bad as she seems to think.
The main reason that I started watching phase, was because of the lack of a corporate culture. It felt like the talents could do and say what they wanted. Sterilizing her personality and opinions for a more conventional and ordinary character, is genuinely really sad to see. I’m not saying she needs to be “more political”, just more herself.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone care about her politics other than the hatemobs on twitter, but that's not the audience anyone wants anyway.
Yeah, and while im not privvy to the internal conversations at Phase, from the outside it doesnt seem like theyre putting pressure on *her* to censor, rather, it seems to be entirely her own perception that is causing her to self censor. Which is a shame.
Idk man. She is herself, even with self-censoring and all. She's still entertaining to watch, so I don't even understand why people want the "old Pippa" To return. There's no old Pippa, guys. Instead there was a route that she was on, and that route had a bad ending, so she dodged a bullet. Well, maybe she is on the way or trajectory of another bullet, but aren't we all.
@@andremorr You contradict yourself, you cannot be yourself and self-censor at the same time. There is the "old" Pippa, she was much worse off mentally, I don't want her to return to that I just don't want her to feel the need to censor herself
"I can't do controversial content anymore because I'm in phase" Meanwhile Tenma playing Black Souls... I do wish the yabbit the best, but it's become far too sterile.
As I understand it, when she was the most forward with content, she was also in the darkest of places mentally. So if this the the cost of her feeling better, I'm okay with that. And it's not like she joined a convent. She can still shock people with her chaotic antics, look at that last stream with Fillian. That was something else.
Well imo it’s because the people who are looking to start a witch hunt on phase need Pippa specificaflly to be the face of the controversy or else no one really will give them attention.
I get what you're saying, but they're totally different kinds of "unhinged". Playing something like Black Souls is a far cry from "old" Pippa rants and conspiracies. We're comparing yabai games to politics, one of which will ALWAYS cause far more "controversy". Also, "being political" will always be a net negative on your mental health. Even if you're the most based individual imaginable, it's just not good for your psyche if politics becomes the main aspect your entire character.
You can thank cancel culture for doing this to vtubers and just content creators in general. They can’t be themselves, otherwise a mob of people just mass deplatforms them and censors their content to oblivion through the algorithm, until people stop being wussies and allow content creators to be themselves by changing the culture, nothing’s gonna help her.

I get it but I do miss the unhinged pippa sometimes Like the one chatter said, most people that would get mad at you hate you already anyway. Dont want her to regress tho. Want pippa to be happy .
This poor girl man, she has some serious unsolved trauma that she has to face, because her subconscious is eating away at her. She might even be getting depersonalization/derealization, which I've had before, I would look into the mirror and my subconcious would tell me feeling wise "that's not him" it's the absolute worst feeling you can experience If Pippa ever happens to find this comment, there's some things you have to understand, that there is not one person in the world that is able to be liked by everyone, that negative thinking paths never have a positive (including self-supression or putting yourself in a "bounding box" like how you perceive other company talents) and growth can only happen if you fight daily for it. IMO the greatest enemy you will ever be against is your subconscious, we might not understand what's in there (fear of the unknown) but we have to try to understand it, because if we can understand it and not be afraid of the "what if" we will find our true self in there Never give up Pippa. You're oh so much more than you realize.
Thats some real deep serious truth you laid out. For real. No one will like everyone. Some people hate you for no reason. Some people you might not prefer engaging with despite them having zero actual problems and are actually normal people. That's fine, thats life. Some people gonna like you regardless. Some people gonna hate cuz thats what haters do. Some people just dont mesh, despite seeming to be utterly normal It is what it is. Its more tough to be kind to your inner self than it is to learn to accept not everyone is going to be a friend. Pippa could shoot up a Walmart, in Minecraft obviously, anytime. The Minecraft walmarts are full of very vegetative state people. I mean, brick people. They will not be missed. And I was a supervisor at a Minecraft walmart for 10 years, in game. I still feel the same. Haha, ya gotta introspect, cuz that filthy inner dickhead in our minds is a shitbird. Also, for rhe yabbit! I live with parents too, am way too old to be doing so. If I had my gun nearby, at least 4 times just this weekend I would have made that ceiling spaghetti. Cant get better if you quit early. Keeping goin is the hardest damn thing most times. Vive la Pipakistan! 😎
The self-censoring, and generally just boring content, is why I've been watching less and less. I don't care about politics or based takes or any of that shit, I just want genuine content. Pippa hasn't been in even the top half of edgy Phasers for a long time, she's neutering herself for nothing.
I know she's still the biggest in phase, but phase as a whole is much larger than her now. I don't think she has to worry about being the face of the company as much as she thinks she does. That's not a jab at her, it's just that phase has grown a lot
The weird thing is that HER fans don't really see her as the face of Phase, we just see her as Pippa. It's only outsiders/tourists and other PC members' fans (to a limited extent) that see her that way...
It's a tough situation. I get her loyalty and acknowledge that without Phase, she may not have focused and had the help she needed to get where she is, but I think she's too self critical about her abilities. I just want her to be happy and not feeling like she's forcing her self.
The thing that kinda throws me off is that honestly from what little we see I don't think Phase is forcing her to change, more that shes stuck in her own head afraid that she'll hurt Phase/her coworkers if she doesn't self censor, but she doesn't seem to see that people are behind her, including Phase.
@@TehCoD1KNifER15yeah the only people who would give pippa trouble for being unfiltered don't watch vtubers in the first place and I'm willing to bet are actually hated by most vtuber fans
Pippa really underestimates her natural charm. She's where she is because she's naturally entertaining. Her growth as a person has been great to watch and we love to see it.
I've said it under a different clip of this, but I'll say it again. Phase Connect is famous precisely because it's known as the "weird girl" company, where Fishman goes to the psychward to find new talents. Phase Connect is successful because of weird Pippa, of controversial Pippa. If I wanted Seiso, I'd go to Hololife or whatever. I've discovered Pippa because of these old clips of her being ultra controversial and based. All the Phase girls have some weirdness to them. That's what makes Phase Connect, Phase Connect. If all the Phase Connect vtubers suddenly started to self-censor and being super clean, do you really think it's be a benefit for the company? I highly doubt it. Just be your true self, Pippa. That's the reason Phase blew up after all.
Whats crazy is that last part about keeping her gun out of sight. I had a pro gun friend who had troubled thoughts and often asked his best friend to hold onto his for him when he was feeling off, but one day it just kinda.. happened. We werent close and i still feel really bad about it. And now I worry about pippa. She needs to know the ones that dont like her just Wont like her and her growing base shows more people Do.
Paranoia is really causing her a lot of harm. And not the "girlfailure lol" harm, but the "maybe therapy is needed" harm. Not because of the gun comment, I'm taking that as dark humor, just everything else. I can deal with non edgy healthy Pippa. That's the best for her. But this isn't that. This is "too stressed out and paranoid to be happy" Pippa. I really hope she finds a good balance for her own happiness.
It’s pippover Capippis. Pipkin Pippa is my KamiOshi and that’ll never change, but I don’t think this self-censorship arc is going to go well for anyone because it’s making Pippa no longer Pippa, you know?
@plesleron Idubbz never grew up, he was a late twenties man. He simply changed his politics and personality to secure a woman, his first real relationship, who ended up ruining his career. Pippa on the other hand doesn't really understand her appeal. She's trying to be another person and it'll backfire. We liked her because she was honest and weird. I've watched her less and less because her streams are sorta boring now.
It's rather ironic how Phase originally pushed the talents to be seiso and Pippa hated it. Then when they were allowed to let loose, she loved it. Now she's self censoring to be more seiso. It's honestly sad to see since she became so popular because she had no filter. I hope she doesn't continue and eventually turn into another generic "for everyone" vtuber.
She's not censoring herself because she wants to, she's doing it because the haters will start attacking the other phase girls and she doesnt want that
@@Kazeki001pippa self censoring stuff isn't going to protect her coworkers from twitter drama they aren't invisible and many of them get the same kind of numbers pippa had back during the hogwarts legacy drama its only inevitable the twitter freaks are going to stumble on them. Pippa should know that twitter freaks don't matter though they don't even watch vtubers and nobody actually likes them or cares what they have to say thats why pippas audience literally doubled after she pissed them off with her hogwarts legacy stream
@jkterjters I'm not concerned with what counts as an oshi, nor am I telling her what to do. I'm just saying that since the change I am less interested in her content.
@@hardbrocklife2 Nah I love her but there's plenty things she's done and said that I take issue with. Doesn't really influence how much I watch her though. Point is unless she becomes bat shit insane or becomes overly woke, I don't care as long as she's having fun. Cause that's what I enjoy seeing from her, personally. I don't think that's weird.
I have already read a lot of people saying that Pippa felt like a dieted down version for a while (not just because of edgy things, at times she comes off as if her heart isnt in it anymore). And I dont like that direction in general, you shouldnt nuter yourself to fit more within the corporate structure...thats why I like PC and what really make them standout from Holo by giving them a lot of room(although to be fair even under Cover, there are outliers who seem to have more freedom or just dgaf like Marine, Ollie or in EN someone like Shiori). And tbh...seeing how wild the others are just in different areas/topics I dont get why she has to tone it down. If she doesnt feel like doing it anymore in general, thats another thing but the way she put it doesnt sit well with me.
I think it's less corporate pressure, and more social pressure. Who you choose to be when it's just you, and who you are when it affects people you care about is far different, and you are way more conscious about your vibes, when it could fuck with other people's paychecks and other important metrics. Even Alex Jones knows that you can only be SO nutty on camera, before it affects the people that work your cameras, edit your stuff, and help you run your business
the majority of the phase girls are already more edgy and based than pippa is, they know exactly what they signed up for, and most of the appeal of phase is that its non-corpo and authentic... so what's the play here from pippa, exactly? 💀
she's already mentioned that regardless of the power levels of the other girls, when she reveals her power level the amount of scrutiny she receives is amplified and she worries that said controversy can affect the other girls and phase overall not saying she's right or wrong but full context is important i think
Its just because shes cemented as the hard face of phase forever that she has to look out. The cancel crowd knows her but not someone like loomi for example. The benefits of being small ya know?
It's fine that she wants to clean up your act for the sake of those around her, but some of those people are in the same vein of being 'controversial'. Is she going to stop interacting with Kirsche or Shondo or even Tenma because of some of the stuff they play or say? Cuz if not, sanitizing herself isn't going to stop those that already fuss about her so the whole change is moot.
I dont consume Pippa on the regular, never did, but its sad that this is happening. I cannot imagine Tenma deciding to self censor this much, Phase as a whole actually. What brought a lot of us into it is probably how unhinged and natural they are, a facade can be found everywhere else sadly.
It's actually kinda nice to see the "golden goose" to actually care for the company. Many of them just go crazy at some point and stop streaming, start breaking rules, become spoiled, create drama... etc. It's sad she has to censor, but her position does in fact have more pressure than anyone. It doesn't look like it from the inside, but to outsiders she is the face of the company.
I think she is overestimating the impact her words have on the company as a whole. Also whatever damage she could have done she would have done by now lmao
Check fayola's video comments. Lots of discussion has already happened there that can explain it. None of which will ever be touched on by Pippa or Phase publicly.
@@ismellmandude6401 Fayola is another clip channel. He made a video of this before low effort clips and it got a lot of comments about her and phase. Check it out for yourself.
The constant need to grow as a person is a poisonous thought process. It doesn't stop and it only gets worse. Growth comes naturally by being yourself. Forced growth creates more room for error. The constant need to grow comes with a constant fear.
I’m like so confused over why Pippa does this, she’s acting as if Pippa has a controversial moment on stream, then phase connect is going to lose tons of money and sponsors and will get in lawsuits and phase member accounts will get shadow banned and terminated on various social media websites. She has to just be catastrophizing this in her own head due to over thinking things.
Hitting 4view status and 100k happened by laughing at a pig's purse problems. 200k happened because she decided to standup for larger streamers who were either handcuffed from standing up for themselves or were scared to. I would hope that the fishman is not so myopic to think that toning down Pippa is a better long term strategy then encouraging the rest of his talent to be a little more antifragile. If he's not, I hope Pippa is smart enough to strike out on her own.
The company should push more towards Twitch. (yes Twitch sucks but it's still the best platform) Phase has barely any presence on Twitch exept for KanekoLumi and Tenma. Most people know about Phase Connect but they don't even know most members of it. Streaming on YT is great but you won't see much growth from that, especially when you barely upload videos to gain more exposure. Lumi and Tenma flipflopping between Twitch and YT instead of multicasting is also weird. (i know having 2 chats sucks)
@@MSnow-pu4qs The downside for any entertainer fighting to get into healthier mental space is figuring out exactly WHAT of their old self needs to be excised. Old Moldy Pippa felt free to be herself on stream since she was apathetic to any problems. Now she's HYPER aware of herself now that she's trying to improve and having developed close bonds with the other talents. She'll find a new balance eventually.
this is sad to see. Pippa may not know this, but a lot of people when they are no longer able to be themselves they start losing their voice. It's a common phrase, and it's true, it can break you, and sometimes it's worth it to throw it all away to be able to maintain your voice or to recover it Pippa might leave Phase Connect someday because everyone who starts to struggle with this eventually realizes this, but I don't want to assume everyone is the same way and I don't know what Pippa does to not lose her voice if she works this way
@@knexfan100 no lol when someone loses their voice it refers to losing the ability to express themselves. It could mean the person's expression is heavily supressed or everything they express represents something else rather than themselves
Pippa needs to correct course. She is letting her doubts and worries negatively affect her content. She is letting the haters win by giving in to them. We subscribed to her cuz of her edgy boundary pushing and down to earth personality (plus the higher pitched voice that provided great contrast and dramatic irony) now she just has the down to earth personality but everything else is gone.
I get her not wanting anybody else to catch flak on her behalf, but at the same time her outlandish mega L takes is her strongest appeal, if she suppresses who she is she'll become nothing more than a just another sanitized VTuber and we already got Hololive for that. Either direction she goes is a double edged sword in its own right, I just think people prefer her to be real and authentic, rather than a clone and sanitized, if she goes hard in either direction the outcome will be negative. But I think if she is who she is PC and the Phase girls will back her nonetheless, even if hell rains down on them, personally I think the freedom of speech is what drew most of us to PC in the first place and why they blew up as a result. As a wise man once said haters are gonna hate regardless of what you do, ain't no point in caving into their demands, they'll just find something else to hate on.
Tbh her collab streams have been good content but she shouldn't be afraid to just say what she wants in normal streams just cause people will go after phase. Just like how she would stand up for her company and co-workers, they'd be willing to do the same for her.
Do you really think they would at this point? They used to... but that was back when Phase didn't have nearly as high of ambitions. Nowadays they really wanna stand with the big boys, be mini-Hololive. Pippa is the biggest roadblock to achieving that goal which is why Fishman and management have been a lot harder on her lately.
@@xXTomokoKurokiXx I don't think they're dumb enough to give up on or publicly admonish or stupid things like being edgy when she's their biggest success story. She's also done a good job at building positive personal relationships outside of phase this past year.
Social media has become a lot more hostile to free speech the past few years. Even on the user end, half of my UA-cam comments gets auto deleted for no reason. So imagine how it's like on the content creator's end. Small indies might slip by undetected, but someone like Pippa will have to walk on eggshells to avoid getting de-platform or banned by payment processors.
I was here because you were you Pipps, not because you're a mega idol. While I understand being more responsible and careful and it is respectable this just isn't what I was looking for when I started viewing you.
I was kind of worried she was losing some of her edginess, but the last part of the clip with the schizo rant made me go... yep, that's the Pippa I know
@@GoodArtorias I wonder if she's sincere about that, or if she's joking around. She said before that she used to have thoughts of ending it, like, all the time, but that she started getting over those. I hope she's just joking around some.
Pippa needs to be reminded that people started watching her because she was authentically herself. Her having something to care about is good and all, but she shouldn't neuter herself too much.
I really don't think she needs to censor herself in any way. Just as she can stand up for her coworkers, her coworkers can stand up for her. It's not like she's carrying Phase alone on her shoulders. It's not like that anymore.

It's a tough situation. There's like a half dozen other vtubers in Phase that say and do things way "worse" than she ever did, however, they're overlooked because all the outside focus is on her. In a way, she's a magnet, _all eyes on her_, meaning the others can be more loose. Still wish she'd loosen up herself, as the haters are going to hate no matter what.
I was just starting to become an actual viewer, watched alot of old streams and eventually got back to the present and.. oh, wow. That is beyond incredibly sad. Genuine content is better than sanitized content
I can see how someone would like Joker 2 in a vacuum, if you discount the first movie. It's not for me (and I suppose most people) but some people just like to see stories where awful things happen and there's no good ending. It's called torture pron.
Before that stream I thought it was fucking odd she hadn't collapsed with kir what feels like a whole year. I've noticed Pippa was getting more cooperate for a while, I'm glade she is still on good terms with kir, but I'm not going to watch fakers.
Pippa went from being the edgy phase vtuber, to being out-edged by the other Phase talents, to the point where she played the role of the "straight man" comedically. But now she seems like she is closer to that "normal" persona than before.
She finally has something worth living for and I think that terrifies her because that also means she finally has something to lose. I think she's terrified of some controversy destroying what she's built and so she's desperately clinging to her new life, but she is clinging too tightly and suffocating herself. I sincerely hope that Pippa can get counseling so she can resolve this fear. Even if she doesnt go back to being unhinged, i just dont want her to be unhappy
It's normal to be less interested in an entertainer over time, and it's also normal for someone to not be the exact same person they were several years ago. Ironically, it's Pippa's lack of filter and general honesty that lets her admit she's having to adapt. A less sincere streamer wouldn't even acknowledge this or would have been putting on a cohesive act in the first place.
This reminds me when used to listen to my favorite heavy rock bands as the years goes by as they try to adapt modern pop genre they slowly become less heavier and more mellow less edg
I can understand not wanting to do stuff like Flavr again. But yeah, censoring herself is essentially pivoting away from the kind of content that made her popular to begin with, making herself more generic in the process.
@@ismellmandude6401 nah, Phase has plenty of talents that are both big enough to carry the torch if Pippa fades into obscurity and are only doubling down on the personality, content, and interests that built up their fanbases. There’s no way Phase can fail due to one talent when they have other talents like Lumi, Clara, Rie, Tenma, Shiina, etc
I say this a someone who is getting treatment for depression with meds and all. I think her psych is feeding into her paranoia and insecuity so she can be patient for life. Lots of coping mechanisms that do more harm than good. I see her more insecure and hesitant now than when she was crying for having several akasupas she thought she didn't deserve.
Poor Pippa, just looking out for her friends. 😭 I understand though. Like yes, the haters will always be there, but if she gives the haters any fuel, they'll take it and go after her friends, company, sponsor, or anyone possibly associated. Remember the admission from OffKai that a staffer did not want Pippa at OffKai Gen 2? Glad OffKai got rid of the staffer instead. I'm assuming Sakana said everyone at Phase or no Phase at all (at which point, the choice is obvious). And despite knowing this, she retweeted and promoted so much of OffKai. And her event at OffKai Gen 3 still got sabotaged. 😢 It wasn't even just her event; her friends were a part of it too.
I miss old Pippa. I get why she had to change but its still disappointing to watch. She's still cool to me, but its just not as entertaining. I liked the rage, shit talk, rants, screaming, etc. Total bat shit crazy chick. That was peak to me. Congrats on the level of success she has reached, but Im gonna miss the good old days. If your reading this, there are much smaller vtubers who are like old pippa. Some even more extreme, its a gold mine to watch. Attractive Unhinged Psycho's.
Be yourself Pippa, its what made you what you are, you sound like you're supressing your personality and as you become more sterile I feel alienated, I miss you being bonkers and having fun.
Unsubbed from Pippa while back cause she started to feel like almost any other streamer. Glad she's mentally better but the unapologetic abbrasiveness is what intially drew me into her and Phase as a whole
I stayed with Pippa's streams because she behaved like a real human. She was funny, she was charming, and she was relatable. If Pippa becomes a fake personality that doesn't say what pops into her head anymore, what's the point? If I wanted fake, I'd be watching Hololive or one of the gooner indies.
I genuinely havent enjoyed her content very much since she started self censoring. I appreciate she wants to stay in phase, and Im very glad she's more mentally healthy, but I'm just not as engaged as I used to be. Sorry if that's harsh but it's true. I like what I like.
I kinda had an expectation that PC was going to be that punk rock company who may be unhinged but not desperate. It still might come true but at the moment it's like another rock crushed between the teeth of the moving cogs.
Pippa, we love you not because you're perfect, but because despite the so-called flaws, you're all the better for it. There's nothing political about talking smack, for example, about the subhumans who killed Peanut the Squirrel & Fred the Raccoon. Those are just people who deserve the blatant dislike. And some subjects, they're just like that as well. It's like that scene in JoJo part 5, and the guys don't need to kick that man, because he's not their enemy. They just think he is because he was being foolishly aggressive with the wrong people. Hell, one of them even takes his time sipping his wine before he joins in. Go on, kick FEMA. No one whose decent or with a brain will hold it against you.
The last thing Fishman should want is Censorship or Self-Censorship. If he turns Phase into a little mini Hololive then people will stop watching Phase and just go watch Hololive. The girls should have the freedom of Indies combined with the support of a Corpo. That's a recipe for big time success in the Western Market. If the girls want to get Political or touch on other normally taboo or off limit topics then let them go for it. We aren't Children we're grown Men, this isn't the East it's the West and Censorship will only stifle growth not create it. Heed my words Fishman lest you put Sponsors before the Fans/Customers. If you want those coveted Hololive numbers, then unleash the sad girls! Let them run amok and wreak havoc! Freedom will be your cry and Menhera your fuel for greatness! You have nothing to fear but fear itself! Hololive can't stop us! Nijisanji can't stop us! Not even the dreaded TOS can stop us! Who cares about TOS when we're so good at working around them anyway? HA! LET FREEDOM RING FISHMAN!!!!!!
If it's not others, it will be UA-cam. Absolute freedom, however one wants it, is an illusion. That is why indies are the Wild West. Plenty of backstabbing and less protection from scams. I hope Pippa finds her middle ground. she can still be herself and Trail blaze another form of Vtubing. The Phase Ladies are in their transition level now, and can dominate the western market. It is a matter of finding that fine line while getting sponsorships and other avenues of revenue.
This has been said already on many comments of this type, but it really doesn't seem like a top-down decision that was forced on Pippa, it sounds much more like she is choosing to censor herself based on her own judgement out of her loyalty to the company.
Everyone is in overwhelming support of Pippa not needing to self censor herself The minority of haters just got shown last Wednesday how worthless their opinions are
I still enjoy Pippa, but I have to admit I have watched her less since she sterilized her content. I understand how much being part of Phase means to her, but this toned-down version just feels so... insincere? Like you can tell sometimes when she is holding back or avoiding certain topics because she'll say too much or go too far. You could especially tell in her recent collab with Kirsche how much she had to restrain herself. I just hope she is able to find a way to where she can be more of herself without jepordizing her career and relationships with her coworkers.
She's being too hard on herself, whoever said "They'll hate you regardless" has a point. Thinking of others is nice, but it shouldn't determine every single thing you do.
Pippa has never been a picture of "good mental health" and I'm not convinced she's totally "getting better". "Moping about it won't make it better" is true, but in the time I watched her it's very clear she approaches streaming very differently than when she started. That's both good and bad, having something serious to focus on can help a lot, but with the nature of streaming and her outlook overall, it might not be the "best" thing to focus on for her. It's good her perspective has shifted so that she can accept something like living with her parents, but my overthinking ass will sure as hell always say she needs something "more" in her life to make her feel better, and I get the feeling that is something she'll never even consider. TL;DR: Pippa needs to chill out.
I get it. She knows that he position in the company draws the ire of a lot of people who don't watch her (it's mostly the sisters) or the company, & she wants to keep that away from her coworkers. But, I think she's overcorrecting. The fact that Shiina & Jelly are being more edgy than her says enough.
I found peepa early on and she ended up being my favorite vtuber. Pippa is easily the most watched vtuber and creator I’ve watched on UA-cam. But over the last couple of months she started being more bland and normal. I will continue to support the pink yabbit no matter what but I miss it when she gave no shits about what came out of her mouth.
i don't have anything to add that it's not just a repeat of others are saying but i really hope that she realizes that her doesn't need to self censor all the time. yes phase connect is a job but there's no need to be in "job mode" all the time.
I think we can all agree is all brainworms in her head. She's currently one the tamest talents in her own company. And is not like Phase Connect depends mainly on her income anymore, plenty of 3views and high 2views. She should relax, the burden on her shoulders is imaginary. The only caveat is if she randomly wants to collab with political streamers or get political herself, that's an explicit no from most companies and it applies to all members. Nothing to do there, and it's for the best.
Honestly, I’ll probably not watch if she becomes generic, nothing against her but I watched her because she was the unhinged and different version than the cutesy and safe ocean that is most of vtubers
It sounds like she views it as be herself or be in phase. But a lot of people found phase from her being herself.
Yeah IDK why she feels the need to do that.
The thing is, she's not identified as Phase by majority of people who watch her. People watch her as Pipkin Pippa, not Pippa of Phase connect. She doesn't really appear to most people as "Phase connect representative"
Compare that to any Hololive talent and it's hard to separate the talent from company
Which is kinda ironic as when she toned it down, i actually found myself moving away from her.
Not that shes doing anything wrong in my eyes, just a different time ig? I wish her the best either way.
I think it's more she's putting more responsibility on herself than is realistic. Like she's assuming that if she "does something stupid" then all of Phase is going to suffer for it, and while yeah there will be some of that I don't think it would be as bad as she seems to think.
I found her, and supported her because of the controversies.
I think she needs to just be herself. The guy who said "They'll hate you regardless" is right.
Pippa is the face of Phase Connect. She needs to behave for the greater good. 😢
The greater good? Theirs other in phase more unhinged than her!
@@Sheriff_Curtis Notice that no Phase girl cmt on the US election or politics and or other polarizing subjects.
For the greater good of the corp.
@@Sheriff_Curtis long time ago tenma was tweeting about how she couldn't get collabs because the corpo was largely associated with pippa.
We like connect the dots pippa
Not phase out the connections pippa
The main reason that I started watching phase, was because of the lack of a corporate culture. It felt like the talents could do and say what they wanted. Sterilizing her personality and opinions for a more conventional and ordinary character, is genuinely really sad to see. I’m not saying she needs to be “more political”, just more herself.
Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anyone care about her politics other than the hatemobs on twitter, but that's not the audience anyone wants anyway.
Yeah, and while im not privvy to the internal conversations at Phase, from the outside it doesnt seem like theyre putting pressure on *her* to censor, rather, it seems to be entirely her own perception that is causing her to self censor. Which is a shame.
@@dontshanonau1335The people who care about Pippa being “political” are people who would never watch her anyway.
Idk man. She is herself, even with self-censoring and all. She's still entertaining to watch, so I don't even understand why people want the "old Pippa" To return. There's no old Pippa, guys. Instead there was a route that she was on, and that route had a bad ending, so she dodged a bullet. Well, maybe she is on the way or trajectory of another bullet, but aren't we all.
@@andremorr You contradict yourself, you cannot be yourself and self-censor at the same time. There is the "old" Pippa, she was much worse off mentally, I don't want her to return to that I just don't want her to feel the need to censor herself
She'll always be my mold elemental, drawer vomiting, ATF hating, hikikomori yabbit of truths and hate.
Never forget bros that 2016 pippa eventually won
"I can't do controversial content anymore because I'm in phase" Meanwhile Tenma playing Black Souls... I do wish the yabbit the best, but it's become far too sterile.
As I understand it, when she was the most forward with content, she was also in the darkest of places mentally. So if this the the cost of her feeling better, I'm okay with that. And it's not like she joined a convent. She can still shock people with her chaotic antics, look at that last stream with Fillian. That was something else.
And im pretty sure lumi is out here still saying slurs
Well imo it’s because the people who are looking to start a witch hunt on phase need Pippa specificaflly to be the face of the controversy or else no one really will give them attention.
Because Pippa touched on politics, Tenma doesn't. There are different kinds of controversy
I get what you're saying, but they're totally different kinds of "unhinged". Playing something like Black Souls is a far cry from "old" Pippa rants and conspiracies. We're comparing yabai games to politics, one of which will ALWAYS cause far more "controversy".
Also, "being political" will always be a net negative on your mental health. Even if you're the most based individual imaginable, it's just not good for your psyche if politics becomes the main aspect your entire character.
The irony of not wanting to stay stagnant, but that desire causes you to plateau as a content creator.
The idubz effect
I miss the controversial pink Rabbit.
Same.
Protect, but be yourself. Being fake only leads to being more fake until you don't recognize the pippa in the mirror.
Damn wtf her level of paranoia is actually disabling. That sounds like something that needs serious help. Like low quality of life stuff. Poor yabbit.
You can thank cancel culture for doing this to vtubers and just content creators in general. They can’t be themselves, otherwise a mob of people just mass deplatforms them and censors their content to oblivion through the algorithm, until people stop being wussies and allow content creators to be themselves by changing the culture, nothing’s gonna help her.

I get it but I do miss the unhinged pippa sometimes Like the one chatter said, most people that would get mad at you hate you already anyway. Dont want her to regress tho. Want pippa to be happy .
4:20
Lies.
Her possum stream was very creative, and was the peak of her content. She just doubts herself a lot.
This poor girl man, she has some serious unsolved trauma that she has to face, because her subconscious is eating away at her. She might even be getting depersonalization/derealization, which I've had before, I would look into the mirror and my subconcious would tell me feeling wise "that's not him" it's the absolute worst feeling you can experience
If Pippa ever happens to find this comment, there's some things you have to understand, that there is not one person in the world that is able to be liked by everyone, that negative thinking paths never have a positive (including self-supression or putting yourself in a "bounding box" like how you perceive other company talents) and growth can only happen if you fight daily for it. IMO the greatest enemy you will ever be against is your subconscious, we might not understand what's in there (fear of the unknown) but we have to try to understand it, because if we can understand it and not be afraid of the "what if" we will find our true self in there
Never give up Pippa. You're oh so much more than you realize.
great comment
Thats some real deep serious truth you laid out.
For real.
No one will like everyone. Some people hate you for no reason. Some people you might not prefer engaging with despite them having zero actual problems and are actually normal people.
That's fine, thats life. Some people gonna like you regardless. Some people gonna hate cuz thats what haters do.
Some people just dont mesh, despite seeming to be utterly normal
It is what it is. Its more tough to be kind to your inner self than it is to learn to accept not everyone is going to be a friend.
Pippa could shoot up a Walmart, in Minecraft obviously, anytime. The Minecraft walmarts are full of very vegetative state people. I mean, brick people. They will not be missed.
And I was a supervisor at a Minecraft walmart for 10 years, in game.
I still feel the same.
Haha, ya gotta introspect, cuz that filthy inner dickhead in our minds is a shitbird.
Also, for rhe yabbit!
I live with parents too, am way too old to be doing so.
If I had my gun nearby, at least 4 times just this weekend I would have made that ceiling spaghetti.
Cant get better if you quit early.
Keeping goin is the hardest damn thing most times. Vive la Pipakistan! 😎
The self-censoring, and generally just boring content, is why I've been watching less and less. I don't care about politics or based takes or any of that shit, I just want genuine content. Pippa hasn't been in even the top half of edgy Phasers for a long time, she's neutering herself for nothing.
Jelly and Shina seem to be filling those shoes pretty well.
@Sleeping_Circumcision very true for Jerry.
@@Sleeping_Circumcision funny you say that because I've found myself watching more Shiina & Jerry these days. Lumi & Dizzy too.
@@Sleeping_CircumcisionKirsche too, even though she's not in Phase.
Same, pippa went from my most watched vtuber to someone I rarely watch
The self censorship is mega gay
I know she's still the biggest in phase, but phase as a whole is much larger than her now. I don't think she has to worry about being the face of the company as much as she thinks she does. That's not a jab at her, it's just that phase has grown a lot
The weird thing is that HER fans don't really see her as the face of Phase, we just see her as Pippa. It's only outsiders/tourists and other PC members' fans (to a limited extent) that see her that way...
I'll be honest, I love unhinged Pippa more.
It's a tough situation. I get her loyalty and acknowledge that without Phase, she may not have focused and had the help she needed to get where she is, but I think she's too self critical about her abilities.
I just want her to be happy and not feeling like she's forcing her self.
The thing that kinda throws me off is that honestly from what little we see I don't think Phase is forcing her to change, more that shes stuck in her own head afraid that she'll hurt Phase/her coworkers if she doesn't self censor, but she doesn't seem to see that people are behind her, including Phase.
@@TehCoD1KNifER15yeah the only people who would give pippa trouble for being unfiltered don't watch vtubers in the first place and I'm willing to bet are actually hated by most vtuber fans
Pippa really underestimates her natural charm. She's where she is because she's naturally entertaining. Her growth as a person has been great to watch and we love to see it.
I've said it under a different clip of this, but I'll say it again. Phase Connect is famous precisely because it's known as the "weird girl" company, where Fishman goes to the psychward to find new talents. Phase Connect is successful because of weird Pippa, of controversial Pippa. If I wanted Seiso, I'd go to Hololife or whatever. I've discovered Pippa because of these old clips of her being ultra controversial and based. All the Phase girls have some weirdness to them. That's what makes Phase Connect, Phase Connect. If all the Phase Connect vtubers suddenly started to self-censor and being super clean, do you really think it's be a benefit for the company? I highly doubt it. Just be your true self, Pippa. That's the reason Phase blew up after all.
Hololive isn’t even that Seiso anymore, especially not with Gigi Murin.
Whats crazy is that last part about keeping her gun out of sight. I had a pro gun friend who had troubled thoughts and often asked his best friend to hold onto his for him when he was feeling off, but one day it just kinda.. happened. We werent close and i still feel really bad about it. And now I worry about pippa. She needs to know the ones that dont like her just Wont like her and her growing base shows more people Do.
Authentically Pippa, she wouldn’t have popped off as well if she conformed to idol culture as hard
She wouldn’t have popped off at all imo. If not for her wild behavior, she would’ve become just another cutesy VTuber.
Paranoia is really causing her a lot of harm. And not the "girlfailure lol" harm, but the "maybe therapy is needed" harm. Not because of the gun comment, I'm taking that as dark humor, just everything else.
I can deal with non edgy healthy Pippa. That's the best for her. But this isn't that. This is "too stressed out and paranoid to be happy" Pippa. I really hope she finds a good balance for her own happiness.
It’s pippover Capippis. Pipkin Pippa is my KamiOshi and that’ll never change, but I don’t think this self-censorship arc is going to go well for anyone because it’s making Pippa no longer Pippa, you know?
I'm just gonna say it, 2024 Pippa would never have gotten past 5 digits.
It is depressing because the no filter was what made her fun to me.
I really hope she isn't kickstarting her Idubbz/Arin Henson phase
It started a long time ago
That’s the worst ending.
I hope she is, it's called growth.
@plesleron Idubbz never grew up, he was a late twenties man. He simply changed his politics and personality to secure a woman, his first real relationship, who ended up ruining his career.
Pippa on the other hand doesn't really understand her appeal. She's trying to be another person and it'll backfire. We liked her because she was honest and weird. I've watched her less and less because her streams are sorta boring now.
Idubbz did not grow@@plesleron
It's rather ironic how Phase originally pushed the talents to be seiso and Pippa hated it. Then when they were allowed to let loose, she loved it. Now she's self censoring to be more seiso.
It's honestly sad to see since she became so popular because she had no filter. I hope she doesn't continue and eventually turn into another generic "for everyone" vtuber.
She's not censoring herself because she wants to, she's doing it because the haters will start attacking the other phase girls and she doesnt want that
@@Kazeki001pippa self censoring stuff isn't going to protect her coworkers from twitter drama they aren't invisible and many of them get the same kind of numbers pippa had back during the hogwarts legacy drama its only inevitable the twitter freaks are going to stumble on them.
Pippa should know that twitter freaks don't matter though they don't even watch vtubers and nobody actually likes them or cares what they have to say thats why pippas audience literally doubled after she pissed them off with her hogwarts legacy stream
@@Kazeki001 They do that anyway!
@crowe6961 yea but her brainworms can't process that and she will just blame herself for it

Rabbit either worries too much about what she says or barely at all. Never in between.

Then she just isn't your oshi, cause I'm happy as long as she's happy.
@jkterjters
I'm not concerned with what counts as an oshi, nor am I telling her what to do. I'm just saying that since the change I am less interested in her content.
@@jkterjtersthe last thing anyone needs is cringe sycophants
@@hardbrocklife2 Nah I love her but there's plenty things she's done and said that I take issue with. Doesn't really influence how much I watch her though. Point is unless she becomes bat shit insane or becomes overly woke, I don't care as long as she's having fun. Cause that's what I enjoy seeing from her, personally. I don't think that's weird.
@@rhatala27 Same here.
I have already read a lot of people saying that Pippa felt like a dieted down version for a while (not just because of edgy things, at times she comes off as if her heart isnt in it anymore). And I dont like that direction in general, you shouldnt nuter yourself to fit more within the corporate structure...thats why I like PC and what really make them standout from Holo by giving them a lot of room(although to be fair even under Cover, there are outliers who seem to have more freedom or just dgaf like Marine, Ollie or in EN someone like Shiori).
And tbh...seeing how wild the others are just in different areas/topics I dont get why she has to tone it down. If she doesnt feel like doing it anymore in general, thats another thing but the way she put it doesnt sit well with me.
They always bend the knee. The only question is "When?"
I think it's less corporate pressure, and more social pressure. Who you choose to be when it's just you, and who you are when it affects people you care about is far different, and you are way more conscious about your vibes, when it could fuck with other people's paychecks and other important metrics. Even Alex Jones knows that you can only be SO nutty on camera, before it affects the people that work your cameras, edit your stuff, and help you run your business
pippa you can't self-censor and be like pewdipie
the majority of the phase girls are already more edgy and based than pippa is, they know exactly what they signed up for, and most of the appeal of phase is that its non-corpo and authentic...
so what's the play here from pippa, exactly? 💀
she's already mentioned that regardless of the power levels of the other girls, when she reveals her power level the amount of scrutiny she receives is amplified and she worries that said controversy can affect the other girls and phase overall
not saying she's right or wrong but full context is important i think
@@thecheeseblock9880 She could show them every once in a while.
Its just because shes cemented as the hard face of phase forever that she has to look out.
The cancel crowd knows her but not someone like loomi for example. The benefits of being small ya know?
It's fine that she wants to clean up your act for the sake of those around her, but some of those people are in the same vein of being 'controversial'. Is she going to stop interacting with Kirsche or Shondo or even Tenma because of some of the stuff they play or say? Cuz if not, sanitizing herself isn't going to stop those that already fuss about her so the whole change is moot.
I dont consume Pippa on the regular, never did, but its sad that this is happening. I cannot imagine Tenma deciding to self censor this much, Phase as a whole actually.
What brought a lot of us into it is probably how unhinged and natural they are, a facade can be found everywhere else sadly.
It's actually kinda nice to see the "golden goose" to actually care for the company. Many of them just go crazy at some point and stop streaming, start breaking rules, become spoiled, create drama... etc. It's sad she has to censor, but her position does in fact have more pressure than anyone. It doesn't look like it from the inside, but to outsiders she is the face of the company.
Damn, this not going to end well with bland content, she is killing her appeal, people watched because she was wild and fun.
I think she is overestimating the impact her words have on the company as a whole.
Also whatever damage she could have done she would have done by now lmao
Check fayola's video comments. Lots of discussion has already happened there that can explain it. None of which will ever be touched on by Pippa or Phase publicly.
@@william8853 WDYM?
@@ismellmandude6401 Fayola is another clip channel. He made a video of this before low effort clips and it got a lot of comments about her and phase. Check it out for yourself.
The constant need to grow as a person is a poisonous thought process. It doesn't stop and it only gets worse. Growth comes naturally by being yourself. Forced growth creates more room for error. The constant need to grow comes with a constant fear.
I’m like so confused over why Pippa does this, she’s acting as if Pippa has a controversial moment on stream, then phase connect is going to lose tons of money and sponsors and will get in lawsuits and phase member accounts will get shadow banned and terminated on various social media websites. She has to just be catastrophizing this in her own head due to over thinking things.
She's worried she's gonna get Kirsche'd when she wants to collab with Hololives, probably
Hitting 4view status and 100k happened by laughing at a pig's purse problems. 200k happened because she decided to standup for larger streamers who were either handcuffed from standing up for themselves or were scared to.
I would hope that the fishman is not so myopic to think that toning down Pippa is a better long term strategy then encouraging the rest of his talent to be a little more antifragile. If he's not, I hope Pippa is smart enough to strike out on her own.
I don't think that Fishman really has any part in this. This is self-censorship clearly
The company should push more towards Twitch. (yes Twitch sucks but it's still the best platform) Phase has barely any presence on Twitch exept for KanekoLumi and Tenma.
Most people know about Phase Connect but they don't even know most members of it. Streaming on YT is great but you won't see much growth from that, especially when you barely upload videos to gain more exposure. Lumi and Tenma flipflopping between Twitch and YT instead of multicasting is also weird. (i know having 2 chats sucks)
@@MSnow-pu4qs The downside for any entertainer fighting to get into healthier mental space is figuring out exactly WHAT of their old self needs to be excised. Old Moldy Pippa felt free to be herself on stream since she was apathetic to any problems. Now she's HYPER aware of herself now that she's trying to improve and having developed close bonds with the other talents. She'll find a new balance eventually.
this is sad to see. Pippa may not know this, but a lot of people when they are no longer able to be themselves they start losing their voice. It's a common phrase, and it's true, it can break you, and sometimes it's worth it to throw it all away to be able to maintain your voice or to recover it
Pippa might leave Phase Connect someday because everyone who starts to struggle with this eventually realizes this, but I don't want to assume everyone is the same way and I don't know what Pippa does to not lose her voice if she works this way
Wait, like lose the ability to talk? That makes no sense....
@@knexfan100 no lol
when someone loses their voice it refers to losing the ability to express themselves. It could mean the person's expression is heavily supressed or everything they express represents something else rather than themselves
There's so much to unpack here... Oh Pippa...
Pippa needs to correct course. She is letting her doubts and worries negatively affect her content. She is letting the haters win by giving in to them. We subscribed to her cuz of her edgy boundary pushing and down to earth personality (plus the higher pitched voice that provided great contrast and dramatic irony) now she just has the down to earth personality but everything else is gone.
2022 Pippa was peak Pippa ❤
I get her not wanting anybody else to catch flak on her behalf, but at the same time her outlandish mega L takes is her strongest appeal, if she suppresses who she is she'll become nothing more than a just another sanitized VTuber and we already got Hololive for that. Either direction she goes is a double edged sword in its own right, I just think people prefer her to be real and authentic, rather than a clone and sanitized, if she goes hard in either direction the outcome will be negative.
But I think if she is who she is PC and the Phase girls will back her nonetheless, even if hell rains down on them, personally I think the freedom of speech is what drew most of us to PC in the first place and why they blew up as a result. As a wise man once said haters are gonna hate regardless of what you do, ain't no point in caving into their demands, they'll just find something else to hate on.
Dizzy filled in the gap that sterile Pippa left.

I hate that there's a non zero chance that could happen. The pink woman curse indeed.
Tbh her collab streams have been good content but she shouldn't be afraid to just say what she wants in normal streams just cause people will go after phase. Just like how she would stand up for her company and co-workers, they'd be willing to do the same for her.
Do you really think they would at this point? They used to... but that was back when Phase didn't have nearly as high of ambitions. Nowadays they really wanna stand with the big boys, be mini-Hololive. Pippa is the biggest roadblock to achieving that goal which is why Fishman and management have been a lot harder on her lately.
@@xXTomokoKurokiXx I don't think they're dumb enough to give up on or publicly admonish or stupid things like being edgy when she's their biggest success story. She's also done a good job at building positive personal relationships outside of phase this past year.
Social media has become a lot more hostile to free speech the past few years. Even on the user end, half of my UA-cam comments gets auto deleted for no reason.
So imagine how it's like on the content creator's end. Small indies might slip by undetected, but someone like Pippa will have to walk on eggshells to avoid getting de-platform or banned by payment processors.
Really hope our rabbit reads some of these comments. Stop acting like you're from HR, be yourself. That's what we came for.
I was here because you were you Pipps, not because you're a mega idol. While I understand being more responsible and careful and it is respectable this just isn't what I was looking for when I started viewing you.

Pippa needs to be reminded that people started watching her because she was authentically herself. Her having something to care about is good and all, but she shouldn't neuter herself too much.
I love Pippa like you wouldn't believe.
I really don't think she needs to censor herself in any way. Just as she can stand up for her coworkers, her coworkers can stand up for her. It's not like she's carrying Phase alone on her shoulders. It's not like that anymore.

I’ve stopped watching her since she started self censoring, I found phase because of her… I now watch Mari and Kirsche. It’s a shame tbh.
It's a tough situation. There's like a half dozen other vtubers in Phase that say and do things way "worse" than she ever did, however, they're overlooked because all the outside focus is on her.
In a way, she's a magnet, _all eyes on her_, meaning the others can be more loose. Still wish she'd loosen up herself, as the haters are going to hate no matter what.
I was just starting to become an actual viewer, watched alot of old streams and eventually got back to the present and.. oh, wow. That is beyond incredibly sad.
Genuine content is better than sanitized content
Pour one out for the old Pippa. The crown she wears at PC only gets heavier.
Pay attention, this is why she heralds Joker 2.
She's the female version of the joker baby
She watched Joker 2 without watching the first one. So in her defense, she doesn’t truly realize how much Joker 2 defiled Joker 1.
I can see how someone would like Joker 2 in a vacuum, if you discount the first movie. It's not for me (and I suppose most people) but some people just like to see stories where awful things happen and there's no good ending. It's called torture pron.
The last collab she made with Kirsche was without her model, make of that what you will.
What?
Yeah, I took note of that as well.
It was very weird..
Before that stream I thought it was fucking odd she hadn't collapsed with kir what feels like a whole year. I've noticed Pippa was getting more cooperate for a while, I'm glade she is still on good terms with kir, but I'm not going to watch fakers.
I think youre reading into that a bit too much. Pippa hasn't made any effort to distance herself from kirsche
Pippa went from being the edgy phase vtuber, to being out-edged by the other Phase talents, to the point where she played the role of the "straight man" comedically.
But now she seems like she is closer to that "normal" persona than before.
She finally has something worth living for and I think that terrifies her because that also means she finally has something to lose. I think she's terrified of some controversy destroying what she's built and so she's desperately clinging to her new life, but she is clinging too tightly and suffocating herself.
I sincerely hope that Pippa can get counseling so she can resolve this fear. Even if she doesnt go back to being unhinged, i just dont want her to be unhappy
It's normal to be less interested in an entertainer over time, and it's also normal for someone to not be the exact same person they were several years ago. Ironically, it's Pippa's lack of filter and general honesty that lets her admit she's having to adapt. A less sincere streamer wouldn't even acknowledge this or would have been putting on a cohesive act in the first place.
Thats true
Someone who lies is not honest by admitting it.
This reminds me when used to listen to my favorite heavy rock bands as the years goes by as they try to adapt modern pop genre they slowly become less heavier and more mellow less edg
this is the start of her idubbbz arc
you hate to see it
I can understand not wanting to do stuff like Flavr again. But yeah, censoring herself is essentially pivoting away from the kind of content that made her popular to begin with, making herself more generic in the process.
Pippa is growing up and maturing despite the fact her fanbase wants to keep her as mentally handicapped and shitty as they are. You love to see it
Can't wait for the denouncement and disavowal!
@@username12120 I swear if that happens Phase is done.
@@ismellmandude6401 nah, Phase has plenty of talents that are both big enough to carry the torch if Pippa fades into obscurity and are only doubling down on the personality, content, and interests that built up their fanbases.
There’s no way Phase can fail due to one talent when they have other talents like Lumi, Clara, Rie, Tenma, Shiina, etc
I say this a someone who is getting treatment for depression with meds and all. I think her psych is feeding into her paranoia and insecuity so she can be patient for life. Lots of coping mechanisms that do more harm than good. I see her more insecure and hesitant now than when she was crying for having several akasupas she thought she didn't deserve.
You can't make haters stop hating, but you can make gushers start gushing
As long as Pippa doesn't censor how breedable she is i have no problem.
truer words have never been said
The problem is that everyone in Phase is rapidly getting more unhinged than Pippa is.
I've watched her far less since she started to sanitize herself, she just feels so fake now.
Poor Pippa, just looking out for her friends. 😭
I understand though. Like yes, the haters will always be there, but if she gives the haters any fuel, they'll take it and go after her friends, company, sponsor, or anyone possibly associated.
Remember the admission from OffKai that a staffer did not want Pippa at OffKai Gen 2? Glad OffKai got rid of the staffer instead. I'm assuming Sakana said everyone at Phase or no Phase at all (at which point, the choice is obvious).
And despite knowing this, she retweeted and promoted so much of OffKai. And her event at OffKai Gen 3 still got sabotaged. 😢 It wasn't even just her event; her friends were a part of it too.
Not only that, Fishman paid for the vendors' booth and table costs on that offkai.
And even after Offkai and that sabotage, she defended the staff members.
She made the mistake of collabing with coomalot and he started harassing the other phase talents
So what, you think the solution is to just let the haters win?
The haters are mostly twitter freaks and redditors. You shouldn't really pay them any attention because they will never change.
I miss old Pippa. I get why she had to change but its still disappointing to watch. She's still cool to me, but its just not as entertaining. I liked the rage, shit talk, rants, screaming, etc. Total bat shit crazy chick. That was peak to me. Congrats on the level of success she has reached, but Im gonna miss the good old days. If your reading this, there are much smaller vtubers who are like old pippa. Some even more extreme, its a gold mine to watch. Attractive Unhinged Psycho's.
Be yourself Pippa, its what made you what you are, you sound like you're supressing your personality and as you become more sterile I feel alienated, I miss you being bonkers and having fun.
Unsubbed from Pippa while back cause she started to feel like almost any other streamer. Glad she's mentally better but the unapologetic abbrasiveness is what intially drew me into her and Phase as a whole
I stayed with Pippa's streams because she behaved like a real human. She was funny, she was charming, and she was relatable. If Pippa becomes a fake personality that doesn't say what pops into her head anymore, what's the point? If I wanted fake, I'd be watching Hololive or one of the gooner indies.
Ah yes, because not being edgy or saying controversial shit means you're fake. Fuck off lmao
@@dcresistance yes it does, now f off
I genuinely havent enjoyed her content very much since she started self censoring. I appreciate she wants to stay in phase, and Im very glad she's more mentally healthy, but I'm just not as engaged as I used to be. Sorry if that's harsh but it's true. I like what I like.
We don't need idol culture. We don't need idols. We need pink rabbit shitposter.
I kinda had an expectation that PC was going to be that punk rock company who may be unhinged but not desperate. It still might come true but at the moment it's like another rock crushed between the teeth of the moving cogs.
Pippa, we love you not because you're perfect, but because despite the so-called flaws, you're all the better for it. There's nothing political about talking smack, for example, about the subhumans who killed Peanut the Squirrel & Fred the Raccoon. Those are just people who deserve the blatant dislike.
And some subjects, they're just like that as well. It's like that scene in JoJo part 5, and the guys don't need to kick that man, because he's not their enemy. They just think he is because he was being foolishly aggressive with the wrong people. Hell, one of them even takes his time sipping his wine before he joins in.
Go on, kick FEMA. No one whose decent or with a brain will hold it against you.
The last thing Fishman should want is Censorship or Self-Censorship. If he turns Phase into a little mini Hololive then people will stop watching Phase and just go watch Hololive. The girls should have the freedom of Indies combined with the support of a Corpo. That's a recipe for big time success in the Western Market. If the girls want to get Political or touch on other normally taboo or off limit topics then let them go for it. We aren't Children we're grown Men, this isn't the East it's the West and Censorship will only stifle growth not create it.
Heed my words Fishman lest you put Sponsors before the Fans/Customers. If you want those coveted Hololive numbers, then unleash the sad girls! Let them run amok and wreak havoc! Freedom will be your cry and Menhera your fuel for greatness! You have nothing to fear but fear itself! Hololive can't stop us! Nijisanji can't stop us! Not even the dreaded TOS can stop us! Who cares about TOS when we're so good at working around them anyway? HA! LET FREEDOM RING FISHMAN!!!!!!
If it's not others, it will be UA-cam. Absolute freedom, however one wants it, is an illusion.
That is why indies are the Wild West. Plenty of backstabbing and less protection from scams.
I hope Pippa finds her middle ground. she can still be herself and Trail blaze another form of Vtubing.
The Phase Ladies are in their transition level now, and can dominate the western market. It is a matter of finding that fine line while getting sponsorships and other avenues of revenue.
This has been said already on many comments of this type, but it really doesn't seem like a top-down decision that was forced on Pippa, it sounds much more like she is choosing to censor herself based on her own judgement out of her loyalty to the company.
Everyone is in overwhelming support of Pippa not needing to self censor herself
The minority of haters just got shown last Wednesday how worthless their opinions are
I still enjoy Pippa, but I have to admit I have watched her less since she sterilized her content. I understand how much being part of Phase means to her, but this toned-down version just feels so... insincere? Like you can tell sometimes when she is holding back or avoiding certain topics because she'll say too much or go too far. You could especially tell in her recent collab with Kirsche how much she had to restrain herself. I just hope she is able to find a way to where she can be more of herself without jepordizing her career and relationships with her coworkers.
She's being too hard on herself, whoever said "They'll hate you regardless" has a point. Thinking of others is nice, but it shouldn't determine every single thing you do.
I watch Pippa because she isn't a cookie cutter stale corporate vtuber without a opinion like every else vtuber.
Pippa has never been a picture of "good mental health" and I'm not convinced she's totally "getting better". "Moping about it won't make it better" is true, but in the time I watched her it's very clear she approaches streaming very differently than when she started. That's both good and bad, having something serious to focus on can help a lot, but with the nature of streaming and her outlook overall, it might not be the "best" thing to focus on for her. It's good her perspective has shifted so that she can accept something like living with her parents, but my overthinking ass will sure as hell always say she needs something "more" in her life to make her feel better, and I get the feeling that is something she'll never even consider.
TL;DR: Pippa needs to chill out.
I hope Pippa does not crumble and turn into a lolcow.
I get it. She knows that he position in the company draws the ire of a lot of people who don't watch her (it's mostly the sisters) or the company, & she wants to keep that away from her coworkers.
But, I think she's overcorrecting. The fact that Shiina & Jelly are being more edgy than her says enough.
Common Pippa L nowdays, unfortunately.
No sneezing intro, that's a sign
I found peepa early on and she ended up being my favorite vtuber. Pippa is easily the most watched vtuber and creator I’ve watched on UA-cam. But over the last couple of months she started being more bland and normal. I will continue to support the pink yabbit no matter what but I miss it when she gave no shits about what came out of her mouth.
i don't have anything to add that it's not just a repeat of others are saying but i really hope that she realizes that her doesn't need to self censor all the time. yes phase connect is a job but there's no need to be in "job mode" all the time.
This gives the same energy as when georg stoped the filthy frank stuff to work on his music
I think we can all agree is all brainworms in her head. She's currently one the tamest talents in her own company. And is not like Phase Connect depends mainly on her income anymore, plenty of 3views and high 2views. She should relax, the burden on her shoulders is imaginary.
The only caveat is if she randomly wants to collab with political streamers or get political herself, that's an explicit no from most companies and it applies to all members. Nothing to do there, and it's for the best.
Damn. Now the lyrics from the rap battle hit harder. “Reddit just called, they want old vtuber back”
Literally describing OCD with that thing about the doors. Textbook example of the compulsion being overwhelming and not resolved by addressing it.
Honestly, I’ll probably not watch if she becomes generic, nothing against her but I watched her because she was the unhinged and different version than the cutesy and safe ocean that is most of vtubers
