/vt/ is a board dedicated to the discussion of Vtubers, a certain 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 extended into the English speaking community and traffic exploded requiring a separate board dedicated to vtubers. /jp/ threads were simply no longer enough to contain them. 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; Kaguya Luna, Akari Mirai (back then an Eilene model) Nojaloli and Siro; 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.
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.
2022
In the 2022 4chan Spring Babby Cup, /vt/ was drawn into Group D with /trv/, /vg/, /bant/, and /vm/.
The first game against /vg/ proved to be very difficult for the team offensively, as /vg/'s defensive scheme limited /vt/'s offensive opportunities. One drive after another was stopped by /vg/'s backline. Only once was ogey rrat able to penetrate through the line and score the team's lone goal in a 2-1 loss. The second game vs /trv/ was much more productive. This time, the offense controlled the ball and dominated the game on the way to a 3-0 rout, setting a new biggest win record for the team.
In the third game against /vm/, the team won in efficient fashion scoring 4 goals on 4 shots from 4 different players. /vm/ initially applied pressure in the beginning of the game, but /vt/ turned it around netting two goals in two drives towards goal. Leftback KIARA MY DOG DIED scored early to take the team's maiden non-medal goal. The second half started similarly as the first half, with /vm/ applying pressure. This time, /vm/ was able to score from a post-shot rebounded into goal. But then, that was followed up by two more pushes towards 2 goals, including a fabulous header from ogey rrat, to cap the game 4-1. /vt/ tied their biggest win record here as well.
In /vt/'s final group stage game, nothing was certain. A previous game's result, /vm/ beating /vg/, meant that all bets were off and any of the three /v*/ teams could still mathematically advance. But with the strongest GD of the 3, /vt/ applied pressure to a so-far fumbling /bant/ and scored a Four-Medal Showing, with Nenenchi, ogey rrat, Oyabun (twice!), and The Jaw all scoring. Without much fear and the ability to grow their massive GD lead over /vg/ and /vm/, /vt/ won sent the international banterers to 5pa1n to leave their GD at +9. It would set yet another record for biggest win for /vt/.
Quietly watching from the slidelines of GRIP WEEKEND, /vt/ would be celebrate as they were confirmed into their first real Elite Cup, the 2022 4chan Summer Cup, topping their group.
The round of 16 vs /k/ was a tale of two phases. /vt/ was limited to one shot. /k/ choked possession into /vt/'s half of the field, until the first goal was scored midway in the second half. Moona was able to produces enough saves to limit /k/ to just that one goal. Then /vt/ immediately responded with a hard push towards goal. Obayun fired a shot that deflected off the keeper. Then Holofightz was there to take the rebound to level the game 1-1. /vt/ generally returned the favor and limited /k/'s access to the ball. The game went all the way to penalties, where two Moona saves enabled the team to put away 4 PK shots to win.
The run in spring ends in the quarterfinal vs /an/. /vt/ had multiple chances at goal, but the shots were denied either by goalkeeping, deflections, and missed shots. All the while, /an/'s defense was effective at disrupting /vt/'s flow. It took one mistake to turn the tide in this game, and it came from a defensive lapse from the backline. /an/'s Outdoor Cat was able to charge right down the middle from the halfway line to score. And that was the game.
/vt/ end a 4 win, 2 loss campaign in spring with 2022 summer to look forward to. The team finished 5th overall. Not too shabby.

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. Clearly they are having an identity crisis. |

/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. In short, virtual youtubers are bideo games. |
