History YMMV / VShojo

*** As a way of mocking those who incessantly speculate the identities of new members, both the talents and fans often joke that any new [=VShojo=] debutant is actually Geega.

** After Kuro revealed his face, fans began comparing his looks to ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' project director, Katsushiro Harada, to the point that some fans jokingly asked him when he's going to release the new updates or new characters, [[https://twitter.com/K9_KURO/status/1755088078086295784 much to Kuro's chargin]].

* BrokenBase: [=VShojo=] partially consisting of reincarnated [=VTubers=][[note]]people who once retired a [=VTuber=] identity and later re-debuted under another[[/note]] has received equal parts praise and scorn from the larger community. Some fans praise this for helping to get talents back into the scene with freedoms and/or resources they might not have had in their old identities, while others consider it tantamount to poaching and, especially with regards to [=VShojo=] Japan, seen by some as a cynical attempt on [=VShojo=]'s part to try and brute-force their way into the Japanese market. It also doesn't help that after having done it so much, there's now an expectation that popular corporate Vtubers who graduate will reincarnate into a [=VShojo=] member, which rubs some the wrong way as any new member gets spam speculated as being an old popular identity, reducing any hype into just a guessing game.

* NeverLiveItDown: Haruka accidentally initiating a romance with [[VideoGame/BaldersGateIII The Emperor]], including consummation, will likely follow her as "squid diddler" throughout the rest of her days as both other VShojo talents and their fans take sadistic glee at her embarrassing accomplishment. [[VitriolicBestBuds Especially Zentreya]].

* FoeYayShipping: Though they have a SitcomArchNemesis dynamic at worst and a VitriolicBestBuds dynamic at best, a lot of people have been shipping Mouse and WebVideo/CDawgVA after their collab streams. Their tendency to constantly bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple and their few and sparse AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther moments in some of their streams probably didn't help matters. At one point, it got so bad that Mouse [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHrW6VdMpz0 had to issue a statement for her viewers]] to "chill it with the Connor stuff", and essentially urged her followers to AbandonShipping.
** She later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8FOKOMWF4k reiterated her stance on shipping]], stating that she thinks it's "cute" and doesn't really mind it "as long as people don't make it weird." It only becomes a problem when it starts overwhelming everything else she does.

** [=VShojo=] fans had sometimes boasted that the group stuck together despite some bumps in the road, often quoting Gunrun's "talent-first" pledge as a reason its members remained loyal to the group. Unfortunately, at the end of April 2023, founding members Silvervale and Nyanners, as well as Veibae, announced their departure from [=VShojo=]. For a smaller-scale [=VTubing=] group like them, this was a major shock as not only did three out of their eleven talents at the time just up and quit, but the three of them - ''especially Nyanners'' - were extremely large and recognizable [=VTubers=] to boot [[note]](a silver lining is that unlike similar [=VTuber=] agencies, [[GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld VShojo does not claim ownership of the identities of the talents even after their departures]]. Thus, the three were able to stream independently without rebranding or restarting fresh, allowing them to effectively pick up right where they left off)[[/note]]. Add onto that a series of tweets Vei made explaining why she left, citing dissatisfaction with her contract, and genuine fear began to emerge that [=VShojo=] was imploding out of nowhere. The fears have largely abated with the debut of Henya just a few weeks later, Geega and Kuro Kurenai joining in September, and Matara Kan in October, but concerns persist about the current state of the agency.

** Ironmouse's [[Characters/{{Sanrio}} Cinnamoroll]] [[Main/DescentIntoAddiction addiction]] is both incredibly adorable and hilarious because of how committed she is to collecting nearly every single Cinnamoroll merchandise out there. Connor is also joked about and meme'd as [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer Mouse's personal Cinnamoroll dealer.]]

* PlayAlongMeme: Henya - [[{{Irony}} quite contrary]] to her lore-based persona as ''the'' genius of [=VShojo=] - has a reputation for [[TheDitz having conspicuous gaps of logic and making a lot of silly mistakes]]. Fans like to play along with this disconnect, with the common joke being that her questionable logic is, in fact, a demonstration of her 999 IQ-level genius, and we simply aren't smart enough to understand. A related bit of {{fanon}} cites the fact that it's actually quite common for smart people to be scatterbrained, and by extension, Henya's ditziness is a direct consequence of her impossibly high IQ.

** Kuro's debut also caused a ruckus in much the same way as Henya's, as not only was the gap between the retirement of [[OpenSecret his previous persona]] and his [=VShojo=] debut ''even smaller'' than Henya's, he also has the honor of being the first male member of [=VShojo=], opening up more possibilities for who else could potentially join in the future. This possibly lessened the shock factor of Matara's debut, as her previous persona was part of the same agency as Kuro; so the moment a new member was announced just two weeks after Kuro's debut, fans quickly concluded that he didn't come to [=VShojo=] alone.

* EpilepticTrees: Just a ''three-second clip'' of Nazuna talking in the stinger for Kson's lore video was enough to send the entire [=VTubing=] fan community into an epileptic fit and wild speculations on who she really is, with frequent reaction [=YouTubers=] such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtT2x832XqU&t=686s Koefficient]] finding her voice ''incredibly familiar''.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: As a consequence of being TheVoiceless and mainly using speech-to-text-to-speech for audience interaction, almost every video involving Zentreya has at least one comment saying this is irrefutable proof that [[{{GIRL}} she must actually be a guy]]. Disregarding the fact that refusing to use a mic, just like using a digital avatar in place of a face-cam, can have a wide variety of reasons, her biggest followers know that her main reason is stronger security from doxxing than [=VTubing=] already provides. This may imply that her real voice is extremely recognizable and easy to track.

** [=VShojo=] fans are on good terms with fans of [[WebVideo/VOMSProject VOMS fans]] due to frequent collabs between Kson and Pikamee, one of its former members.

----

%%Yes, we are aware of the Open Secrets that are some of the members' "past lives". Any edits bringing these up will be removed, as it's considered rude to bring up a VTuber's prior characters, careers, other identities or prior corporate origins.

** By far, the most ''famous'' fandom overlap is the fanbase between Ironmouse and WebVideo/CDawgVA. These two collab so often, in no small part because of their VitriolicBestBuds dynamic, that it is not out of the blue to see clips of them together ''reach in the millions''. It has reached the point that when one searches for [=CDawg=], ''Ironmouse will be there'' and vice versa. The fandom of these two, as such, has gotten to the level where they are basically one and the same, which is ''unheard of''.

*** As far as she knew, Nyan (implied to be Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos) was created for the sole purpose of finding the remaining "seeds of life" and "lighting the beacon" to end it all. She eventually learns the full extent of her purpose, right after developing a new life with the [=VShojo=] girls - she's intended to extend the life of Azathoth and awaken them with her "harvest." The [[HellIsThatNoise hellish screeches]] accompanying the entity's appearances in the flashbacks give the impression that it's ''screaming'' at her to destroy all life.

** Kuro's debut also caused a ruckus in much the same way as Henya's, as not only was the gap between the retirement of [[OpenSecret his previous persona]] and his [=VShojo=] debut ''even smaller'' than Henya's, he also has the honor of being the first male member of [=VShojo=], opening up more possibilities for who else could potentially join in the future.

** A similar thing happened in the leadup to Henya's debut, though in her case it was based on how she acted on social media. Instead, her distinctive voice and cadence, much like Nazuna, as well as her signature laugh, confirmed everyone's suspicion once she debuted properly.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: As a consequence of being TheVoiceless and mainly using speech-to-text-to-speech for audience interaction, almost every video involving Zentreya has at least one comment saying this is irrefutable proof that [[{{GIRL}} she must actually be a guy]]. Disregarding the fact that refusing to use a mic, just like using a digital avatar in place of a face-cam, can have a wide variety of reasons, her biggest followers know that her main reason is stronger security from doxxing than [=VTubing=] already provides. This may imply that her real voice is extremely recognizable and easy to track her with.
* FandomRivalry: A minor one flared up between Henya and Froot when the former joined, though the reasons why are a bit too hot-button to bring up here. This thankfully died down when the two were seen to get along just fine.

** She later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8FOKOMWF4k reiterated her stance on shipping]], stating that she thinks it's "cute" and she doesn't really mind it "as long as people don't make it weird." It only becomes a problem when it starts overwhelming everything else she does.

** The [=VShojo=] members are friends with several independent [=VTubers=] who they collaborate with and expose to their own fanbase similarly to their fellow [=VShojo=] members: [[https://www.twitch.tv/momo Momo]], [[https://www.twitch.tv/snuffy Snuffy]], [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd_ShA9Vk4Htm9UGvlF2bCw Mira Pink]], and Veibae, just to name a few.

The fandom of these two, as such, has gotten to the level where they are basically one and the same, which is ''unheard of''.
*** This extends even into their respective groups, as [=VShojo=] and ''WebVideo/TrashTaste'' tend to have a lot of overlap as well, and again the fandoms are so close that any distinction is miniscule at best.

** Silver is a wolf/sakura spirit, but is often mistaken for a kitsune or catgirl.

** Kson may not show cleavage (at least not with her current "deliquent" outfit), but the rest of the above applies - especially if you've seen [[OpenSecret her previous work]].
** Nazuna currently doesn't really fall into the above, though her skimpy outfit, moments of swearing, and death metal-esque screams make her not kid-friendly either.

** Their EN side is now also getting this reaction after the debuts of Kuro and Matara Kan, both of whom were previously talents with another company.

** The various little sounds that Melody makes. She has been asked to make compilations of them, but since she finds them embarrassing, she has stated that any such compilation would have to be made by fans. Of course, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xpw0ffWRU8 some were quick to answer that call]]. When Melody finally saw it (in her Melware persona), she was ''absolutely mortified.'' Though, she eventually came around enough to have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek7OJlYaQYk this video]] created and posted.

** Mouse is often confused for a mouse or a cow, even though she isn't even animal-themed at all, being a demon queen instead. Though this seems to have died down a bit as she unveiled more obviously-demonic-looking forms of herself [[note]](though seemingly refraining from crossing the line from cute/sexy to scary/frightening)[[/note]]. She's seemingly lampshaded this with models that do have mouse ears.
** Froot is a lich who's often mistaken for a succubus. At least some of this is because of fans who ''do'' know better, but just enjoy listening to her adorably deny being a succubus.
** Haruka often has to contend with being called a moose or deer even though her species is in her name, Caribou.

** Henya has prominently displayed cleavage, along with moments of swearing.

** There's a similar overlap between [=VShojo=] and WebAnimation/{{Nijisanji}} as well. This has been helped along via collabs between [=VShojo=] and Nijisanji's English, Japanese, and Indonesian branches.
** [=VShojo=] fans are on good terms with fans of [[WebVideo/VOMSProject VOMS fans]] due to frequent collabs between Kson and [[OpenSecret one of its former members before she joined VShojo]].

** There is a not insignificant number of Russian comments popping up in Matara Kan's streams and videos. Considering her very name is essentially a transliteration of "mother cockroach" in Russian, it's pretty safe to say she fully embraces and encourages this trope.

Connor is also joked about and meme'd as [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer Mouse's personal Cinnamoroll dealer.]]

** Whenever WebVideo/CDawgVA is forced to buy a Cinnamaroll doll for Ironmouse, it is humorously called the "Mouse Tax".
