MikuExpo has been going on for years and this is the first time it's been so. ummmmmmm

"The Miku Canada cutout", from what I understand, belonged to a fan vendor. Said fan vendor got harassed by venue staff for selling "unlicensed" merch, even though this has always been a thing because Hatsune Miku is a goddamn musical instrument whose clout only exists through virtue of fans making things and it would be absolutely counterproductive to tell fans not to make things. ?????? I believe the cutout was eventually returned but like. holy shit man

The hologram technology normally used for Vocaloid concerts is not actually particularly complicated. In a nutshell, it's more or less just a projector combined with a piece of glass or a scrim, similar to pepper's ghost. I used to do this in my family's computer room as a kid by turning the lights off, loading up MikuMikuDance with a black background and setting the monitor to full brightness opposite a glass window. The fact that they replaced this easily achieved effect with an LCD screen is genuinely baffling??

People are talking about getting together a class-action lawsuit against Crunchyroll

The MikuExpo twitter has been ignoring every controversy and continuing as normal posting about "doors are open for such-and-such venue!" "Don't forget to get your MikuExpo 2024 merch!" while getting flooded with comments just going ADDRESS THE DAMN LCD SCREEN like literally people just want them to fucking communicate and they are. not

HBD PRINCESS !!
