Agency Astraline General - Down the rabbit hole of cringe

[4090 Chad]

I wanted to create this thread because this is a small vtuber agency that was spearheaded by a (former?) popular content creator Fredrik Knudsen.

@Null has featured this agency before on MATI which covered the introduction of the agency

3:53

Here is Fredrik's cringe lore intro video for his character

8:08

Here is the agency's current talent roster: Astraline's agency website

----------------------------------- ---------(lmao gay furry shit)----------- -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- -------------​

And finally, their newest addition



ENHANCE

​

That is 4'3" and likely 4' flat without heels... what does Grok have to say about this?

​

Now, this is relevant because recently, there was some drama surrounding this new vtuber regarding a NSFW discord channel NSFW twitter art tags for this character



Bonus: The Gaytor Gamer himself expresses his opinion on the matter

Hololive has a branch of vtubers called Holostars. The male vtubers have a significantly smaller audience and generally are geared towards attracting fujo chicks who are into gay shipping and stuff. The male vtubers in hololive very rarely collab with the female talents.

AFAIK Merryweather is very popular with weaboos and he had done work with other more-popular VTubers beforehand. This shit is too gay, even for an anime avatar like me though.

Also you replied to this thread really quickly. You're looking at VTubers too much for your health.

I remember seeing people talk about this in Twitter. It was mainly people calling Merryweather spineless to for caving to Twitter pressure about the model, especially because the girl behind the model didn’t have a problem with it and really liked the design.

He’s also had some typical pre-Elon Twitter behavior despite drawing a bunch of comics that lean heavily into those “problematic” anime tropes like fanservice and so on. Even made a comic about how he was quitting Twitter for Bluesky only to come back like a month later.

Niji is mixed and Hololive has male exclusive branches but they have far fewer of those. The most successful of them tend to do BFE focused content, apparently there's a large lucrative market of lonely women as well.

I am always active in new boards. I was also expecting this thread because he asked to make it

I'm pretty sure Astraline is the BL agency and is the number one cause of Knudsen's downward spiral.

Do women like homos for the same reason they like serial killers?

What reason is that?

 

[Maniacal Foreigner]

What reason is that?

"I can fix him"?

I’ve heard it explained as the same reason why guys are into lesbian porn. 2 of the thing you like is better, than just 1.

Fair.

That doesn't explain the serial killers.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Yeah it's fujo bait. I wonder if their numbers are even good, though I guess once you cover the original costs it's way more manageable.

 

[Can of Bread]

Seeing all the controversy on Twitter about the new character, it made it look like Merryweather was just not going to release it. But seeing the statement, it's just a ban on NSFW content of the new character?
I guess I see how preventing NSFW content of a character could hinder its marketability, but it's just on Merryweather's server. He's not going to have the balls copyright strike everyone who posts it on Twitter or any of the various other porn-sharing sites, mainly because such an action would decimate all his brands. This controversy seems like a bunch of nothing overall.

He’s also had some typical pre-Elon Twitter behavior despite drawing a bunch of comics that lean heavily into those “problematic” anime tropes like fanservice and so on.

It's funny that people give him shit for fanservice, when he used to use the promise of outright hentai to shill his Patreon.

Since the audience of people like nightmind are already gay furries who arent turned off by furry avatar I imagine those would be his vtuber audience too.

 

[4090 Chad]

So I was actually curious and this is interesting.

Youtube:


Twitch:

Fredrik is sub mogged by almost every single member of his agency

So I was curious what Astraline's greatest talent would sound like and was not disappointed.

Also, looks like Null's prediction of Fredrik trooning out is progressing well.

Fair.

That doesn't explain the serial killers.

Wires getting crossed in the "dangerous man=can protect me from other men and wild animals" equation, where their brain doesn't register the fact that the serial killer targetting women means the danger is directed toward the woman.

I'll take "Things that never happened" for 100, Alex. Even if it true, imagine getting self respect for being a high ranking corporate drone that people tard wrangle to not have a breakdown.

Merryweather is such a cunt. The worst part of his comics is always the writing, which he is the one in charge of. Can't think of a comic of his I liked.

Hinghoi's art is the only reason they were popular.
