==== Bottom Left ====
* '''Bottom Left''' is a term originating from a stream by Takanashi Kiara, where members of [[hololive English -Myth-]] were ranked on a compass based on their purity (See: [[#Seiso|Seiso]]) and intelligence. Someone lacking in both would be place in the bottom left part of the compass. Kiara's illustrator, [https://twitter.com/hukeweb huke], suggested she belongs exactly in that place of the graph. Other members and the fans have used the scale in different quadrants, but ultimately the "Bottom Left" part remains the most popular. The term has since evolved, and is primarily used for those lacking only in the "purity" scale.

==== Doxxing ====
* '''Doxxing''' (ドックシング) means attempts to discover and release information relating to the real identity of a VTuber, such as their past online identities, real name or even their real address. As a result, doxxing is widely looked down upon in the VTuber community.
 
==== Dramatuber ====
* Dramatuber are Youtubers (who may or may not also be VTubers) whose content is based around drama in their circle (in this case, VTubers). Dramatubers are infamous for using sources of dubious credibility (for example, 4chan) and presenting their findings as facts. As a result many consider them immoral who will lie in hopes of more views. As a result, when watching content from dramatubers, one should always check the source.

====Listener====
*'''Listener''' (リスナー) is the term that most livestreamers, including Hololive talents, use to refer to the people watching the stream. The term originated in radio talk shows, where listeners could send mail and postcards to be read on the air. This type of interaction between a talent and their audience is similar to what is found in livestreamed videos, so the name was adopted as-is.
** Other similar names for a viewing audience are not used because they may be confusing: "shichousha" (視聴者) refers to television viewers, while "viewer" (ビューア) is mostly used to refer to physical computer screens.

It is also used ironically to refer to a character who definitely does not have those qualities, or who tries and fails to act pure and wholesome. "Seiso" as a meme originated with Siro and is strongly associated with Tsukino Mito (in both cases, in ironic usage).
