MOD EDIT: content thread: https://simpcityopen.com/threads/39158/
Kinda off-topic, but she retired...again. She made the announcement out of nowhere 2 days ago and her final stream was today. Seems a bit irrational and impulsive to just quit like that twice, but it is what it is.
 
Yeah. Been following her since the Drakengard videos, and to see eight years come to a close in 48 hours was a bit rough. Of course it's not like I've ever personally known her, but I always got the feeling she was a bit of a weird, sad girl. So it doesn't feel out of character, even if it is somewhat frustrating. Who knows what's going on her side.
From the tone of the farewell stream, it looks like she was able to call it quits on her own terms. I genuinely hope she's happy with how things turned out. She was cool.
 
Imagine learning of her retirement through a porn site... :KEKW: The real news outlet is here.
The first time she was overwhelmed negatively by her audience, this time it seems it was the opposite but lead to the same result; nice that she was able to go out on her own terms this time though.
might as well make this a discussion thread since that really is all the footage of her on the internet.
 
Didn't she get doxxed or something? Back in the day, I mean. I have this vague memory of her freaking out real bad because some asshole fan decided to contact her/her family irl. But it has been so much time that I might be misremembering. And then she got a bunch of shit from commentary channels calling her "ungrateful" for "throwing it all away", lmao.
But you're right, it is absurd to have these conversations on this platform, lol. Then again, I basically haven't seen the news mentioned anywhere, neither on vTuber communities nor gaming ones. Which is kinda sad tbh, but also weird because at some point she was fairly popular within the niche. But she never cared to grow her audience later. She basically had for years the same ~60k subs on twitch, around 150 viewers on average, always the same people. She seemed to like it though. But maybe it became too much, or she needed to move on.
Her retirement was sudden and, as often happened with her, completely devoid of explanation and closure towards the audience (which is her right, it's just that it kinda sucks), but looking back, maybe the signs were there. From the second half of last year she was barely posting, often skipped streams without telling anyone. Well maybe she was giving a heads up on her discord, but I wasn't much on it.
 
hololive doesn't need a talent that streams 10 hours a month
 
I don't wanna sound stupid as fuck, but I miss her a lot already. Everything said in this thread it's true, and it's sad to express this type of feelings here, but man.
I hope she's happy and healthier.
 
Probably have to look if they're somewhere on internet archive or whatever
Currently downloading her remaining streams as Nerines
 
One of my favorite youtubers, genuinely loved her content, I was super sad to see her leave and private everything out of nowhere, I knew she moved on to the vtuber thing afterwards but I'm not into that kinda content so I didn't follow her through that, still really sad to see her quit again, I feel like she has a knack for content creation and it's such a shame she can't keep it up, just hope she's doing well.
 
Just saw the news. She probably got married or some other equally life changing step. Thus, she quit streaming to prevent any risk of her personal life getting leaked. I do hope she's doing well and finds what she's looking for.
Loved her videos, especially her lost in translation ones. And her stream always had a comfy vibe to it. Gonna miss her posting pictures/videos of her bunny, Escha.
 
Came across these videos about her.
They seem to explain pretty well what happened. Looks like she just couldn't change her ways and deleted everything again. She's been gone for over half a year this time, and while it's possible she popped up again under a new name with no fanfare, it seems like she finally moved on from it.
These videos seem a lot more grounded than this one, but for reference, here's a video from 2022 about her quitting the VA channel.
Would have preferred a ValkyrieAurora return, since she was the only pretty woman in the JRPG gaming scene and actually funny (the rest are post-wall, 35 year-old women who missed the boat by a decade or hideous like SarahKey and SuperButterBuns), but Sophie obviously wasn't cut out for the fame. It sent her into a spiral that finally crashed for good, it seems.
She didn't end up an OF chick with tattoos all over her body, but that's probably for the best.
 
Saw them a while ago and although they're actually interesting and partly grounded, it's still opinions told as facts from a guy that made 4 or 5 videos about her in a clearly obsessive way. If I had to guess he's someone that, maybe just like us lol, never had a chance with her and needed to deal with it by trying to find Sophie's faults.
It was clear to everyone that she was a "complicated" person, but I doubt, for example, that her friends' political views had this much effect on her content and her future decisions. Cool to have some insights on the behind the scenes stuff though.
 
Funny thing is, the creator claims to be a woman. My guess is it's a jealous woman who's not as pretty. Video maker seems to not get that Sophie's probably just a bit crazy. Over-analysis for sure, but some juicy info in there, too.
Or maybe it really is a guy who never stood a chance. He'd fit in well with us here lol.
 
I'm sorry, this is not gonna be the update we wish for but
Girl is alive and well
(I'm one month late too)
