5ch’s Favorite-Pokémon Question Sparks a Flood of Replies — “It’s Luxio!”

From our other sites

The story

A casual chat thread on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyō G” (General Live-Commentary) board lit up over the question of everyone’s favorite Pokémon. Amid quirky picks like “Emolga” and “Jolteon — just kidding, Tentacool,” one instant reply — “It’s Luxio!” — got the biggest reaction of all.

Several other topics ran in parallel in the same thread, including the stir caused by a popular VTuber who greeted male listeners with the blunt term “osu” (a rough, masculine way of saying “hey”), plus a run of jokes riffing on participants’ facial expressions caught on screen.

Everyone's acting like Laplus-chan caused the controversy, but honestly, aren't the fans sexually harassing her the ones in the wrong?
326AnonymousOct 17, 2026 22:19
Re: #319
Yeah, true
But actually the controversy was more about her calling male listeners "osu" than that

Re: #319
You can really feel that "late-night snack" mindset seeping through (slang implying a thirsty, desperate vibe)

Background and Key Points

Part of the thread touched on a popular VTuber who stirred up controversy after greeting male listeners with the term “osu.” Reactions were split — some pinned the controversy on her remark itself, while others framed it as backlash against the sexually harassing comments fans later directed at her, suggesting this isn’t a story that can be boiled down to a simple “controversy.” Overall, this VTuber discussion ran alongside harmless chatter like everyone’s favorite Pokémon and running jokes about participants’ facial expressions on screen, all within the same thread — a reminder that this wasn’t a thread tracking one specific event, but rather the classic “Nandemo Jikkyō” (general live-commentary) style of hopping between all sorts of unrelated topics.
