What constitutes a mine varies greatly from person to person, and is a word that completely depends on the individual's sense.
Please protect yourself by quietly distancing yourself from others by unfollowing them or muting them!
It is also important not to impose your minefields on others.
Schedule overlap
The schedule overlap isA phenomenon where multiple VTuber's broadcasts and events overlap on the same date and time.It means.
This is especially troubling for listeners who are pushing for multiple boxes, creating the dilemma of ``I want to buy both boxes...!''

▶ Some listeners make full use of double windows and sub-terminals!
Precious
The precious (toutoi) isInternet slang used when you feel so much respect, love, or emotion that you can't put it into words.It is.
In the VTuber community, it is often used at moments when people are overcome with emotion due to their behavior during broadcasts, fan art, collaborations, etc., and it is a magical word that can convey all the emotions of the listener just by saying "Precious...".
When I get overwhelmed with emotion, I lose my vocabulary and think, ``Vocabulary... is precious...''😭It is also used in forms such as ``.
Public order
What is public safety?The distribution, the atmosphere and comfort of the fan communityIt is used as a word to express.
The original meaning is "a state in which safety and order are maintained," but in the VTuber community, it is expressed as follows.
- “This distribution is great because the listeners are so safe.😇」
▶ When everyone speaks with consideration and creates an atmosphere
On the other hand, a stream with many bad manners or incendiary comments may be described as ``poor security...''.
cognition
What is cognition?Make the streamer remember your existence and namerefers to
When someone picks up a comment, when someone calls your name, when someone reads a merchandise purchase report, etc.

The moment of being recognized as a fan is an important event that will become a special memory for fans.💘
First distribution scam
What is first delivery fraud?A distribution that was announced as “first distribution” but the actual content ended up being chatter and preparation distribution from beginning to end.This is a word used jokingly by listeners.
When listeners who were expecting a new appearance or important announcement thought, "Isn't this...the first distribution?"
People sometimes comment on this as a joke, saying, "It's an unexpected first-time distribution scam."
Big box win
The big box push win isWords of joy used when you see the success of the agency you support or the entire group.It is.
When many Oshibako members appear at events, collaborations, live performances, etc.
I often hear people say, "All Oshibako will appear!? The Oshibako is such a big win...!"
The moment when everyone shines is truly a reward time for box fans.🎉
Bad manners listener
Listeners with bad manners,Viewers who behave in a way that makes others feel uncomfortable during broadcasts or in the comment sectionrefers to
The following actions are typical.
- Name other VTubers who are not mentioned in the topic

Listeners sometimes warn each other, ``Don't be a squirrel with bad manners...''

It is used in various situations such as "graduation loss", "collaboration loss", "Oshi distribution loss", etc.

Although it is often a temporary feeling, it is a word that conveys the emotion of pushing and deep love.💔
