For over one year I've been harassed, threatened, doxxed, misgendered and abused by Luna the Foxgirl, author of Inochi2D.

Due to her attacks and manipulation of others, I no longer feel safe contributing to Linux GPU drivers, and I will be retiring my current model.

Luna the Foxgirl's (Author of Inochi2D) Ongoing Abuse, Doxxing, and Harassment

If you use and support Inochi2D, please be aware that you are supporting Luna’s harassment, doxxing, misgendering, manipulation, and abuse.

If you believe these acts don’t belong in the VTuber and FOSS communities, please consider using and supporting other software.

@lina Inochi wasn't really working for me when I tried it last year and have been using https://github.com/xianfei/SysMocap/ instead. Glad I wasn't too invested in Inochi's ecosystem.

I am curious which projects are you looking at now that would be a good VTuber software?

I mostly use them for online classes with kids, because they definitely prefer being taught by an anime character. Some adults have learnt to appreciate the anonymity it gives too.

@rewarp I'm looking at multiple options for 3D, but yeah, 3D is definitely the way to go! It's actually an open ecosystem with many options, so you're not locked into one project (whether open or closed).

I think what specific tool you choose just depends on what you need. I didn't know about that one! There's also VNyan, Warudo, SnekStudio, VSeeFace and more.

@lina Appreciate all the namedrops! I will be checking them out!
