      So the anime vtuber is sykunno who apparently just joined cuz his friends were in there and he was like oh ok sure ill join which i think is hilarious because it means bernie wasnt aware there was gonna be an anime cat boy on this call and he just joins i wanna know what bernie was thinking as an old person who probably has no idea what a vtuber is.

      I bet he was like “Ok time to do my little spheel about how bad Trump is… wait what the fuck. Why is one of those cartoon people in here. I need to retire…”

      edit: i just watched the moment when bernie meets sykunno as a vtuber and sykunno says “do you think hes confused by me? Hey senator normally i have a real face but i have a skin condition and am using this avatar.” and bernie says in the most DEFEATED voice “Ok…” i am dying!

      Then he asks bernie if he knows whaf a vtuber is and bernie says “nOPe!”

      This is even better than trump working at mcdonalds omg

    lmao apparently all their apolitical audiences absolutely hated the stream, particularly Pokimane’s

    That’s what happens when you ignore politics for 4 years and then out of nowhere post DNC friendly shit streams

      I wonder how much they paid them to appear. Seems like the vast majority of streamers do the math on these kinds of things and set the price tag high enough for the number of fans they’ll lose over 15 minutes of being ‘political’

      which is always funny because United Russia exists as it does from its origins in the turn of the century as basically a big tent “quick everyone get in here so we can be bigger than the communists and keep them from winning legislative and voting-bloc majorities” party (which the communists would have won the presidency too in the 1996 post-fall elections over Yeltsin but Yanks To The Rescue!

      Some sort of vote for Kamala outreach to influencers being done by Bernie it seems. No idea why Luke Skywalker (who had a horrific pro genocide statement if people forgot/didn’t know) is there. Maybe the Kamala people felt that Bernie wouldn’t sufficiently promote genocide.

    Anyone who thinks it’s weird to see Austin Show up there needs to go back and listen to him talk about politics. The guy is definitely voting for Kamala, even though he lives in big blue California. He did a thing with the “I Had It” ladies at the DNC and I think has been on their show at least once, maybe twice. They love him! They’re “as progressive as they come™”.

      It’s a Vtuber model for another streamer, they’re rigged models that reflect the expressions of the real person onto the avatar so that they can remain anonymous if they want. I think that’s sykkuno, who uses a vtuber model on occasion and is part of that friend group.
