After going to the Hatsune Miku Expo in Berlin today I have no money left. I have been exploited. This is what Karl Marx what talking about.

Still loved the concert though !

    State Organized Vocaloid concerts commiku

    Btw, in Cuba they actually do have state organized conventions for Gamers and Otakus (anime fans), mostly organized by youth organizations. They also had a state sanctioned Dota 2 tournament lol.

      I’m sort of surprised that virtual characters aren’t part of the standard propaganda package in the 21st century. The appeal of bring pre-recorded is that you’re always on message, and you can make different characters to appeal to different demographics.

      I want to see the Sino-Soviet Friendship Poster couple reimagined as a pair of cute queer vtubers.
