Tonight, I'm talking to an armchair? Well, @ExpertArmcha1r that is! D'Mongrels (and foot stools) join us tonight as we...talk about I d'unno yet. We will be talking at 7pm CST over on my channel! Stream link/waiting room will be down in the replies as usual!

- writes an article full of libel and slander accusing Vallure of promoting pedophilia and making illegal content. - writes so much libel you get threatened with a lawsuit and most of your articles taken down -"regrets writing the VAllure article" but still leaves it up to damage their SEO and reputation. Keeps referring to it and linking to it in other articles to boost its SEO further. - publicly distributed paywalled content (copyright violation on top of bad manners and against basic VTuber etiquette) "See guys this is why companies turn away from the industry" Almost nobody will care about this stupid drama. They will care however about that stupid article and Ana knows this which is why it is still online as an eternal "fuck you" to VAllure. I do not need someone who gleefully writes in newspapers about how they masturbate while playing fall guys (very popular among kids/teenager btw), who advocate for public sex as "queer identity" (public sex is illegal btw), who record and publish their twisted fantasy of "breeding cis woman farm" (yuck) to teach me a lesson about professionalism. EN-VTubing is full of issues. And disingenuous, skinwalkers, shit stirrers like Ana are absolutely at the top of the list. It is mind boggling to be this lacking in self awareness. I refuse to believe this is not some malicious ploy. "I'm not trying to destroy VAllure" LIE 🫵 And even if I give the benefits of the doubt. Does the intentions really matter when it's a consistent pattern of behavior whose actual outcome does the opposite of what's being claimed ? I'll leave that decision to the people.

We're talking past one another. My criticism of your clip is precisely because, instead of just trying to argue that, you framed the entire thing around the idea that Rima "let slip" the "hidden truth" that she was actually friends with Bao and Shylily. This was demonstrably not what was shown in the video, and your criticism is made all the worse for it. That is the point of my dispute. You don't have to choose between making your point and substantiating it accurately - you can do both.

@ExpertArmcha1r Even if it's just misspeak because she's angry and/or ESL, what can't be ignored is that she's admitting that she will personally target you if you criticize her friends. This is a blatant admission that she cant be trusted to handle these things with grace or with little bias.

This section was taken out of a stream VOD on Rima's channel titled "What the Hell is Going On with Mythic Talent?!" dated 9 March, 2026. You can find it at 1:27:29. However, if you watch even 5 minutes before/after the timestamp, it's pretty obvious that Rima saying "my friends" refers to Elara in the present example that she's discussing live and/or Strawb in the context of the UTT video that she brings up in the clip as well. The implication that Rima saying "my friends" in this clip refers to Bao and/or Shylily is completely unrooted in any sort of context provided in the clip or the source VOD. I understand that a lot of people have lingering misgivings about the Nanoless-Sinder drama from a year ago, as well as how it was covered. I myself have done multiple streams poking holes in how the initial "cancellation" campaign was done, and expressing skepticism at the initial wave of coverage for being too accommodating to the accusatory parties for the evidence they provided (or only promised to provide). However, you do a discredit to any reasonable criticism of that fiasco when you have to rely on unsubstantiated conspiracy and clips presented out of context to make your point.

Characterising what I'm saying as "defending a friend" is true but disingenuous to what I'm saying. If you disagree with how Rima covers situations or have grievances with how she responds to criticism, then you are entitled to say as much. If that was all the video did, then I wouldn't have taken issue with it either. That said, you do not have to compromise between criticism and accuracy. Me pointing out that Zheelious did so is not saying that Rima is above criticism, but it is demanding a higher standard of criticism than just an easily verifiable misread of what was said in a clip. When you do what is shown in the clip above, which is taking things provably out of context, it is either malicious or retarded. Either way, it undermines the credibility of any criticism levelled and is counterproductive to any sort of good faith discussion.

@ExpertArmcha1r Chair while I agree with what you stated, the reason its being brought up is due to the context of Rima's recent behavior and how she insert herself in a situation that didnt need her I understand you're defending a friend, but that's ignoring that she's crossing a line recently

Completing my painful transformation into a react-tuber in just under an hour. Come.

@RimaEvenstar 10/10, after seeing this I've now been well endowed with more knowledge of the French mind & its workings

@ExpertArmcha1r rate my john locock reaction x.com/RimaEvenstar/s…

It's reaction time. On Friday at 9:00 PM EST, we'll finally be doing the actual react-tuber rating stream proper. Thank you to everyone who tuned in live last week to provide feedback on the rating system while we were testing it (updated version & changes attached below), and thank you to everyone who suggested their favourite react-tuber before the final twelve candidates were randomly selected. 12 react-tubers. 12 react videos. All will be assessed live based on how transformative they are (relative to the original video). Does your favourite react-tuber make slop (derogatory) or slop (affectionate)...or, perhaps, something even better? Let's find out. Waiting room below. Hope to see you there.

thank you very much @UnHeroeUrbano lmao. congrats again @WinchesterThe97 #oshipush

For no reason in particular, I have now decided to make a Jowol deck. No joke, though, if you were a Set 1 player who was a fan of: -Pippa's ability to go wide and establish board presence with Content (but wished she had more card draw); or -Tenma's ability to draw cards (but wished she was better at going wide and establishing board presence with Content); Jowol looks like a perfect combination of both of those things. He specialises in emptying his hand onto the board, and then rewards you for gaining board presence by drawing more cards the more spread out you are. As exciting as the new Personas and mechanics are, Set 2 also looks to be adding a ton of support for Set 1's Personas and strategies as well (detailed breakdown below). From the cards I opened today, some of the biggest buffs to Set 1 are: -Michiru & any aggro strategy that aims to empty its hand fast and early with cheap Content cards. Previously these decks would easily run out of gas or have to rely on awkward card-draw enablers like Gamer Fluid that would blow out the curve. Set 2's introduction of Soulslike Notes (2-cost, Green Poggers Action card that draws until you have 3 cards in hand) & Short Attention Span (2-cost, Green Zatsudan Premium Content card that draws you 2 cards when your hand is empty) give these decks an excellent way of refueling after blowing their load in the earlygame. -Lia & any mobility-based strategy that benefits from moving Content or Persona cards from platform to platform. Previously, most of Lia's options for moving her own Content between Platforms consisted of Action cards (My Time, Potion) which her passive doesn't reward her for playing (since it only buffs her when she plays Content cards). With the addition of new cards like Robot Vacuum (1-cost, Purple Zatsudan Content card that allows you to move another Content card to a different platform when played), Lia's much more free to adapt to different gamestates without sacrificing on power or card consistency. She also gets a whole host of new options for debuffing (or outright deleting) opposing Content cards to guarantee wins via Influence on a Platform. -Discard (Green and/or Poggers Personas). Child Support (2-cost, Green Poggers Premium Content card that causes your opponent to discard 2 if they have more cards in hand than you) and Ash Blasting (3-cost, Green Poggers Action card that forces your opponent to reveal their hand before discarding something of your choice) have now made this a viable build-around strategy. The latter might just create one of the most demoralising hand-disruption play patterns to date when combined with Halloween Special. -Tenma. Literally all of her archetypes/strategies are getting new tools. Bekko Genning (5-cost, Purple Experience Cameo card that shuts off opposing Persona abilities) gives her more mobility when discarded. Good Boy (5-cost, Red Experience Content card that becomes stronger the more cards you have in hand) basically gives her a second playset of Cabbage Voice Pack. Tenma's access to soft removal via 'bouncing' opposing Content back to hand makes her more resilient in the face of new cards that protect Content from hard removal ('delete' effects). Also, both variations of Discardma are viable now (i.e. you can choose to build around discarding from your hand, discarding from the opponent's hand or possibly even mix and match the two). -Iori & any Action-based strategy that doesn't care too much about winning via Content. Copystrike (new 600K, 4-popularity platform that deletes all Content as a clash reward) may be the most polarising Platform printed to date. -Any type of Green Combo deck. Set 2 has introduced a whole host of Green cards that allow you to smooth your draws (Waifu Wheel) or cycle dead cards in hand (Hard Pivot). -Uruka, especially variations of her that want to lower their curve with cheaper Content options. Set 2 brings a whole new host of Content cards that reward you for making them the only card on a single Platform. -Nasa, with the addition of Cameo cards that add a permanent stat buff to her economy. Now she can do even more things each round before spending all of her bits to reap the rewards of her passive ability (becoming stronger when she's poor).

The most eloquent armchair won't even tag me they are opening set 2 packs rn 😭 AND THEY PULL A SERIALIZED SIGNED JOWOL WHAT HE'S STILL STREAMING RN GO CHECK IT

The grippers emerge in just under half an hour. Come. Let's go gambling.

@DrLolime There is only one correct answer to this question.

if armchair had a vtuber model would his mouth be in the first or second image

Come take a seat: youtube.com/live/S83hPA5OY…

Tomorrow, Friday at 9 PM EST, I'll be whipping them out. On camera. Come and join me as I feed my cardboard crack addiction by trying my luck with two boxes of Oshi Push's upcoming Set 2: Hidden Links (courtesy of Japanime Games). You've seen chairs with legs. You've seen chairs with backs. But have you ever seen a chair with hands? Waiting room below. Hope to see you there.

Hey you - reactslop enjoyer. In just under an hour, I'll be going live to review your nominations and test-run the scoring system. If you're curious about what I actually mean by "rating a react video," now's your chance to see. Waiting room below. Hope to see you there.

Social Media Number-Monkey: Final Boss

While comedic value is largely too subjective to be measured accurately (since everyone finds different things funny to different degrees), the actual composition of most jokes and anecdotes intended to be funny are mostly encompassed by the scoring criteria already. "Citing a personal experience," "articulating how a video makes you feel and why" & "contextualising a sentiment or argument...in your own words" (though they may sound geared primarily towards analysis) are all applicable to most, if not all jokes a react-er can make in order to add commentary to the original video.

@ExpertArmcha1r I’d like to see some sort of comedy value included in the list of objective qualities. A person can take a pretty serious video and turn it into something transformative by using their charisma and sense of humour. Right now, it seems to be geared only toward analytical reactions

Reactslop. It's a guilty pleasure for many and has become a staple of VTuber content on YouTube. However, how well does it really hold up in terms of objective quality? We're going to find out - by rating and ranking a bunch of the most popular react-tubers according to how transformative their videos are. That's not all, though. While I already have a few candidates in mind, there's still room for more. Who is your favourite react-tuber? Please feel free to recommend them in the replies below if you don't already see them in the lineup and I'll check them out. Stream announcement coming soon. Stay tuned.
