/vt/ is a board dedicated to the discussion of Vtubers, a category of Japanese-originating live-streamers that use an animated character to personify them on stream in lieu of their actual identity. Since 2020, the trend has expanded into the English-speaking community and beyond. Traffic exploded, requiring a separate board dedicated to vtubers - /jp/ threads were simply no longer enough to contain them. /vt/ now comfortably sits as one of the biggest and fastest boards on 4chan.
The team debuted in the 2021 4chan World Cup.
Team History
Origins
The definition of a "vtuber" is fluid and changing, but the core idea was anchored in place in late 2016, when Kizuna AI made her first appearance on YouTube. A beautiful anime-styled girl (claiming herself to be an Artificial Intelligence) doing comedic and video game related content in the form of short videos. She was virtual and a YouTuber.
However, despite a short spike of popularity worldwide around her first appearance, Kizuna AI and other Vtubers like her would fall back into a niche category of entertainment; Kizuna AI would maintain her role as the Oyabun of Vtubers, while the Four Kings would follow close behind her in popularity. Meanwhile, a tiny "tech company" by the name of Cover hires an talent named Tokino Sora to be a cute idol to show off their technology; she has a few hundred subscribers and even less active viewers.
Turn the clock to Christmas 2017: a miracle occurs.
Kizuna AI and the Four Kings are unable to stream due to technical difficulties or scheduling. Thousands of fans go wondering through channels looking for something to watch; many, in the thousands, find a rather unassuming Sora streaming into the night: by the time the sun rises the next morning, Sora's subscriber count has risen exponentially and the course of Vtubing as a whole is changed forever.
Kizuna AI and the Four Kings recede in popularity as Vtuber agencies rise to popularity; Nijisanji rises to the top for a time alongside other independent channels, while, spurred by the success of Sora and their new talent Roboco, the tiny tech company Cover Corporation establishes Hololive, with their "First Generation" debuting in the middle of 2018. Hololive is still the smallest dog in the fight to the top of the rankings, but they begin their slow climb as they debut their 2nd and 3rd Generations, each with their own cast of spotlight-stealing talents.
Then some Chinese person decided to eat a undercooked bat and the whole planet shuts down. Everyone is working from home, laid off from work, and looking for something to occupy their immense amount of downtime while they're in pandemic lockdown.
Spurred by the YouTube algorithm and by newfound free-time, hundreds of thousands of people are exposed to translated clips of a lolicon talking about wearing bandaids as a bra, a shrine maiden saying nigger, and a weird fox singing Scatman John's "I'm Scatman", among other things. Worldwide popularity is suddenly on Vtubers as a whole and Hololive is at the center of it all.
By the fall of 2020, foreign fans make up a significant part of many Vtuber's audience and the tipping point comes as Hololive announces its EN branch. Now, on 4chan, /jp/ had been the turbulent home of all Vtuber discussion up until this point, but seeing the even newer influx of fans jumping onto the Vtuber ship thanks to major English-speaking talents for the first time, /jp/ descended into chaos as long time /jp/ regulars cried and bitched about their beloved Touhou threads bumped into the archive realm.
It was only after a couple of months of "testing" by site management that /vt/, Virtual Youtubers, was created to house (but not contain) Vtuber discussion. After all, /jp/ still retains a little vtuber traffic like the indecisive bitches that they are.
2023 Spring Babby Cup
The 2023 4chan Spring Babby Cup campaign begins in the 2023 4chan Spring Babby Cup Qualifiers, as sad as it sounds. Here, /vt/ is in Group B with /his/, /wsg/, and /i/.
In a game full of shots, neither team has been able to push for goal, until /i/ finally broke through. With plenty of time to retaliate, /vt/ walks away from this game with only a yellow card. In all honesty, this game could have been much worse as two of /i/'s shots hit the post.
The second game with /his/ became a 9 goal festival with /vt/ getting the short end of the stick: 5 to 4. The game was essentially your back and forth game with relatively easy goals on both ends. One main difference includes a shot by Meds in the first half, that hit the post. In the second half, /vt/ gave up two goals in quick succession given a 1 goal lead. When /his/ gained a 2 goal lead with only a few minutes remaining, it was too little too late for /vt/ to even equalize. Overall, the effort on the /vt/ side was very good offensively but not enough. However, the defensive end leaves much to be desired.
After losing the first two games, /vt/ needs a win against /wsg/ and some help. Early on, there was plenty of pressure early but for naught. Instead, the team gives up a first half goal on a counter attack. So /vt/ spends the rest of the game trying to equalize while keeping the 1 goal deficit. The /vt/ goal finally came on a pity 90+0' own goal as time runs out on the game. /wsg/'s defense proved to be too much. Any hope of qualifying into Spring was gone as the draw was not enough.
Just like that, /vt/'s campaign ended in this year's Spring Babby Cup before it even started. The team will have a long spring and summer to look forward to the Autumn Cup.

Rivalries
/jp/ - The na/rrat/ive bowl |
/jp/ was forced to house vtuber discussion for the longest time, forcing the 2hus into hiding while shitposting became rampant. The throwing around of narratives, stories and obviously false theories about vtubers became common place in the biggest thread of them all, /hlg/. It was inevitable though that the unchecked schizophrenia would degrade and corrupt The Narrative, though, turning it into /vt/'s rrat: a unchecked schizophrenic episode characterized by Pekora's stupid face progressively getting more distorted over time as the rrats grew in number and strength.
Despite the exodus, /jp/ continues to have both vtuber discussion and have vtubers in their roster. |
0 - 0 - 0 |
/v/ - /incel/ Cup |
When /vt/ was created, many /v/ posters hoped it be their salvation from internet celebrity posting. But alas, for them they were not saved and now the creation of /vt/ has left them with vtuber posters AND eceleb posters. /vt/ took the first (and so far, only) win in the rivalry. |
