Aqua setting rules for using her name 【Hololive/ENG Sub】

[@HAI_TL]

It was quite messy in some live chat. Not just English, but Japanese and other languages too. It was a mix of aqua fans, apex fans, general fans of said vtuber, antis, drama ppl. Let's not blame all in one group. And learn to be more mature. Be like me and fanboy alone (´•ω•̥`)

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

so the rumors i heard was true about some people flocking to the other participants stream just to talk about Aqua.. geezus

[@mcrush1160]

Well that's disrespectful to happen... There's nothing that can be done about that, there will Aholes out there... But i can't wait for April 17th!!!! Hype!!!!!

This is the clip what i waiting for.. thanks for the translation.

[@mystrunner5166]

Thanks for focusing on clipping this important topic rather than her "official twitter check mark".

[@Yampiey]

you do not Fanboy alone! Otherwise, we (Aqua-Crew) wouldn't be subscribed to your channel, who deliver us awesome Aku-tan Onion translated clips. haha

I can understand some fans are just so proud about Aqua but like she said we still need to have good manners and never forget etiquette in other people's streams hope people understand that :3

[@bad0860]

Thank you for clipping this, I am surprised there are almost no clips about this after aqua said it. And tbh, even before the tournament, this behaviour already being called out by her. Hope many people watch this and behave more properly in other people's chat

[@Ghostfreaker13]

Finding your channel was the best thing that happened to an aqua crew like myself. Bless you sir and hope you have a great day

[@yamiRic]

"I'll sue you for copyright" "but akutan, you're not even verified in twitter. How are you going to sue us for using Minato Aqua's name?" lmao.. But seriously, I'm happy when streamers addressed and warned their fanbase. It made them looks stronger because they are very clear on kicking the misbehaving followers away. Usually, people treated streamers as people who need fans anyway so they will tolerate all their behaviors.

[@Yuu92296]

It kinda crossed my mind as well that some of the people who does "it" is actually aware and are just trying to stir things up by acting lame. That's really troublesome.

[@Filcayra72]

I’ve already seen this on the kpop side. Antis posing as “fans” of a certain group and then going around bashing other fandoms

[@mystrunner5166]

Finally! A clip of this! Please respect other streamers and their fans, read the chat rules and watch your etiquette. Freely talk about other streamer/people if only they get mentioned so not to trouble the streamer you are currently watching and not to embarrass in this case "Aqua" since they would feel indirectly responsible for their misbehaving "fans". Imagine the streamer you are watching having a serious match contemplation and reflection while chat is flooding names of people not even on topic wouldn't you get annoyed too? Please have some manners, Matsuri and Astel's chat was hard to watch yesterday....they're having their on discussion but chat's keep flooding "uwooooh Aqua" "uwoooh Holoteam", they have their own team and support them if you entered their chat. People going to other participants just to mention Aqua's name because of their excitement......Jeez. This isn't even a new thing since they have a term for this "Hato (Dove)", also lots of vtubers have these on their stream description "refrain talking about person who aren't on the topic" and vice versa "refrain from mentioning me on other people's stream unless mentioned"....sadly no one bothers to read chat rules.

[@gladewings1192]

I dont know why people are so but hurt with this its not like the whole game they mentioning Aqua this Aqua that they just won the champion so of course people will talk about them especially when they won 2 times. Im more cringing to people like you saying dont mention them and such when Aqua and her team just won the champion geez. Ive watched the vod and chat only discussed Aqua and her team when they won the champion and then moved on.

[@mystrunner5166]

@@gladewings1192 Did you watch the clip? Aqua addressing this problem means it's bad enough that she needed to warn her listeners to watch their manners. You sure you check the VODs? I'm surprised you missed the comments *"I want to see Aqua's team"* or the *"Towa-sama poppin off"* just because they saw her name in the logs... there was even a guy in astel's chat who said *"I came here to cheer for Aqua"* if that isn't considered rude then I don't know what your standard is.

[@almezamorra1021]

@@mystrunner5166 Yep, whats worse, aqua is finally stepping outside her comfort zone but she should still be sensitive to embarrassing stuff like these. I just hope that she doesnt go back to being an introvert because of these hyperactive fanboys.

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

So it seems word has reached her about the unruly behaviour several people displayed in some recent streams, especially that one big custom "practice" Apex collab where they participated but didn't streamed. I was offline when that happened so i didn't know the full details yet but from what I've seen some people flocked the chats of some of the participants only to talk about Aqua this Aqua that.. That's rude folks. We're better than that. Hora, Akutan herself had to scold us because of it lol

[@RazzySensei]

I'll admit, I have been stream hopping to get one that has Startend's POV but I don't participated in chat, instead I be engaging in specific discord channels. People should do that instead of flooding chat. It's really bad mannered. I'm a big fan of Kurumi Noah too and watching her spectating Aqua is something I never thought would quite happen haha

Hopefully this will reduce the spam everywhere at least in the Japanese language, excluding bots or haters(if there are some of them spamming)

[@circularangle4324]

If you use the name of Minato Aqua, you must become Minato Aqua. Think about what aqua will do in that situation.

[@blastburnz]

Perhaps Twitter's new requirement will be for Aqua to get champion in the tournament. The ultimate prize: the throne of the Minato Aqua name!

[@pakxenon]

Glad that Aqua is reigning in her fanbase. Fan behaviour is in general a reflection of the streamer, after all.

[@ChrisDaPatriot]

I'm a massive DD of Hololive but Aqua has been my... How should I say this... I've liked her not as much as the otters for quite some time, but stuff like this helps counter that. It's always helpful finding quality translators/clippers to help change my mind

[@n_nse_se]

I kind of understand how Aqua might not be as liked in the EN community, especially with the numerous issues she's had in dealing with antis from different sources. However, note that Aqua has improved a lot with asserting herself over time, and in general seems to be working really hard at personal development. What's unfortunate is that these moments from her streams often don't get good translated clips. I find it kind of crazy how much impact translators/clippers can have on the general impression overseas viewers get from vtubers.

[@matarawillow6022]

I remember someone following rule 3, like there was a global top 3 aqua even though aqua never touched that game, but I don't remember which game was...

[@anonymoustraveler9746]

I was watching multiple vspo and others streams during the scrims and yes it was a mess. So many holofans kept on spamming Aqua this and that and a bunch of TMT while just a few Suichan. I'm glad Aqua addressed it because it was kinda embarrassing. Matsuri's stream was flooded with TMT too but the mods took care of them.

This is commonsense thought not even need to be rule. But yes...it internet after.

[@Zefryn]

In all honesty, I do just hope that they just enforce these rules with Moderators in chat and get them to either timeout or outright ban for a day for this kind of behaviour. I remember it being enforced in one of the Holomember's chat in the last Vsaikyo tournament, but only because the Moderator could read both JP and EN. I understand that it's not common nor realistic to have Moderators that are proficient in multiple languages in chat, but hope that eventaully all of the Holomembers eventually do.

Will KZbin Aqua (verify) sues Twitter Aqua (not verify=fake) if StartEnd can't reach the top?

As someone said on reddit, this could be a tactic from the antis to create more hate to aqua. Why do these kind of people exist? =/ So sad, that our popular onion has to deal with this shit or rather in general all popular people on the internet. Just as Auqa said, I really like her mindset, that she does not consider these people her fans. I mean, this should be obvious, but some people will still put them in the box as "Aqua Fans", even though they are not.

[@MikaHolic_Channel_OFFICIAL]

and here I thought the Antis that used to attack Aqua had mellowed down. Can't let the guard down at all i guess

I don't think we should label all of these people as Antis. Some people might not be aware that doing this is really rude and just need a heads up.

Not mention other streamer in somebody's stream is a manner Unless they mentioned it, don't do that fellow crews I read somewhere that, in one of the stream, mods are busy removing chats that contain startend's name I know right, we hyped up because our dearly onyan finally join tourney, but please, don't bother other streamer because of that Edit: Sorry for my bad English

[@akyuu3282]

While i agree that it isn't ok to mention other streamers names in chat when the discussion / stream has nothing to do with them, I genuinely don't understand why it's not fair game if they litteraly appear on stream in the way they did. Whether it's aqua's team that came out of nowhere, VGorilla and his crazy play or anyone that does something impressive really, i feel like it should be fine to express excitement toward what litteraly just happened ON SCREEN... Now if she is talking about actual spam and stream chats being entirely hijacked from start to end that's a different story

[@akyuu3282]

@@s2-railgun718 Well yeah, i understand the rule and i agree with it My problem with this is, when something happens directly on stream and is 100% relevant to said stream. I don't think saying "Wow team X is good" or "That play from Y was crazy" should be out of line when these things happen on screen

[@Verosa1410]

Depends on what the topic is about, so there's no really right answer. It can be just a harmless sc, like saying "hey this foreign KZbinr reacts to your stream and they like it", I think that's totally fine. The bad case is like, you're in kson stream and you send an sc saying " hey kson, Kanata said this and that". It's not exactly harmful but it's just in poor taste. Honestly, it's not rocket science, if you just take the time to think about what you're gonna send, you will realize if it's okay or not.
