The first time I saw the video of Koe talking about this person the moment he said that, she answered "I'm lots of people" I literally heard it in Mel's voice That is 100% something she would say, it was SO OBVIOUS
The "I'm lots of people" should have been a dead give-away, with Projekt Melody and Melware coming to mind very easily. Also, if Mel can control her voice in public that well, does that make her a "throat goat" in a second sense of the term?
I love how he realized Nagzz would be the one who knows who she is. Nagzz and Connor are the ones pretty much everyone knows will have the inside scoop on vtubers. Especially vshojo and a subsection of HoloEN.
Nagzz especially, since he's known and been friends with several of the VShojo founding members (Ironmouse, Melody, Silvervale and Zentreya) and some of their close vtuber associates (though probably not anymore in at least one ex-associate's case) since way before even the seed of the idea of VShojo had ever existed. Him and Lost Pause have that in common, in fact I discovered them through their appearance in Lost Pause's 2020 birthday stream.
I'm sure anyone can uncover her identity by getting her to say "bagel". No matter how different you can get yourself to sound, certain vocal ticks and inflections are nearly impossible to get rid of. Like pronouncing certain words.
I actually was almost sure its Melody, from the point Koe said a Random Vshojo Person, actually because of Mousey. When she was talking about yelling her name.
While I've met her in VR through patreon and can confirm she's a delight to be around, I'd love to meet her irl one day... But I am not worthy so I will be quiet lol.
Tbf, the name tag 'Random Vshojo Person' is definitely what you'd use when you need to hide the talent amongst the rest of your staff. Do get why Mel would choose to mask her voice given her profession. Its impressive thats she able to do it without breaking too.
Okay, two thoughts: First, Ko is right about CB getting some things right. Another thing which CB does is give the viewer an option to not hear the alerts that Chat generates. After the Melody+Kson colab, some viewers complained that they hated the coin sound which CB makes when the streamer receives tips. They we told that they can turn that sound off in their own account settings. Being able to optionally silence Chat as a viewer would be a great improvement to Twitch, RU-vid streaming, Bilibili, or really any other streaming platform.
Second, why are we being so casual about this? If Melody wants someone to know her identity, it's her decision to say it. Jo while drunk failed to respect her decision. Nagzz just flat betrayed her. I don't want to be that guy who takes offense on somebody else's behalf, but dang. This is some deeply scuzzy behavior which we are just brushing off as a funny story.
Don't be a parasocial weirdo. This is not a fight you have any place to fight. Koe got permission to talk about this on stream before he did. Mel is fine with it. And Nagzz is friends with Mel. Even Ironmouse didn't have any issue talking about her. I'm not sure what relationship you think you have with Melody that you think you need to get offended on her behalf, but you need to learn your own boundaries.
@@Zeik56 My guy, I specifically wrote, "I don't want to be that guy who takes offense on somebody elses behalf," not "Hold me back because I'm bound and determined to take offense on somebody else's behalf." I included that already unnecessary qualifier. It's there. It's right there. You chose to skip past it. So anyway, I do not have a dog in this fight. You are correct. Neither do you, and yet you are rushing to defend Ko and pick a fight with me, with far more hostility than I brought into this comment section. Before you make wild accusations about the motives of others, please please please take a step back and ask yourself if you are doing exactly what you accuse others of doing. Although it's not my place to defend Melody, it's equally not my place to accept nor endorse bad behavior. Bad behavior from a friend doesn't make the behavior immune to criticism; it just sets bad precedents for others to copy with an expectation of the same immunity to criticism. You write twice that Melody gave express permission to share this story, but no one ever said that anywhere that I have seen. Are you making that up?
@@lordzaboem Saying "I don't want to be that guy" and then BEING that guy is the same as people who say "No offense but..." and then proceed with the most offensive shit possible. Saying something and then doing the opposite makes what you said irrelevant.
@@Apova10 it's not me coping, it's 4channers trying desperately to link one person with another. THEY SOUND NOTHING LIKE EACH OTHER FFS!!!! Reported for misinformation.
@@ResidentWeevil2077 I wasn't aware of the 4chan rumor. I actually was watching Mar's stuff before I saw projekt melody and I was struck by how similar their mannerisms were. Right down to referring to vampires as Draculas
Why? Whether she reveals her identity should absolutely be her own choice. If anyone was out of line, Nagzz was out of line for ratting her out like that. Ko was out of line for not respecting a vtuber's boundaries.
@@lordzaboem Dude stop being parasocial as fuck about it. Koe literally says at the beginning he was given permission to talk about it. And Mel obviously joked around with him all night on who she was because they're friends.
Im honestly surprised Ironmouse didn't get butthurt about something completely out of Koe's control. A little outta character for her to be so cool with it. ^.^
