Vtuber Gawr Gura sings "take me out to the ball game" at a Los Angeles Dodgers game

@Terry@bae.st huh they're using mascot characters in marketing now. Smart.

@takao@shitposter.world Usada Pekora and Hoshimachi Suisei also made an appearance

We're winning, it's inevitable, just gotta make sure the pedophiles lose.

@Terry@bae.st cool, actual talents make it even more effective

Ugh, rare case of reverse cultural pollution. I don't like it. i don't like it one bit.

@caekislove@gleasonator.com very weird marketing strategy. I'm sure this would be way more popular in Japan.

Even more interesting because baseball is big in Japan

@Jean_Philippe_Micheaux@poa.st @caekislove@gleasonator.com yeah it was last Friday. The LA dodgers had a Hololive night.

Now I know how my great-granddad felt after Pearl Harbor.

wow some old baseball boomer trying to figure out a vtuber is and just being dumbfounded by it

I saw comments on Twitter along the lines of "Why does that girl in the middle have a fish up her ass?"

@caekislove@gleasonator.com @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux@poa.st I think there was an anime expo in LA at the same time and they expected some of those people to visit the game.

Yeah that's kinda weird.

I mean sometimes tossing advanced weebery on normies is just mean

Boomers loved it. It brought people to the game and their grandkids enjoyed it.

@caekislove@gleasonator.com @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux@poa.st they also have baseball cards

Gura also did a great job.

I wish we had fun events like that at our baseball stadium. This year they can't even win games. 😩

I'm a Mets fan inb4 >Hurr durr sportsball is dumb Yes I am aware thank you. I know I'm a retard.

I don't get it man, what's to like about watching spics hitting a ball with a bat?

I don't like Vtube stuff generally, but I find this amusing.

I don't watch for the spics. I watch for life changing shit like this. 40 years old, decaying back and a surgically repaired knee. Throws a perfect game.

and The best pitcher on the planet(at the time) getting cheers from 20,000 people as he warms up to simple man in what have been his final start for the team that drafted him.

"That girl has a fish up her ass."

@caekislove@gleasonator.com @Terry@bae.st @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux@poa.st It's a cartilaginous fish.
