Abstract

Hololive Production is a virtual YouTuber agency which accommodates 71 active talents (VTubers) with 65 million subscribers on YouTube. Hololive protects its talents’ privacy by giving them unreal names and avatars. Some viewers intend to find real identities of the talents, some others ignore the real personalities, while many of them keep secret although they know the real person behind the unreal avatar. Then, how is cyber gender anonymity characterized on the privacy of Hololive Virtual Youtubers? Using qualitative method, this article indicates necessity of cyber gender anonymity to keep Hololive’s talents’ identities safe. This is supported by Judith Butler’s posture of gender and Philip Zimbardo’s deindividuation. Unreal characters and names for VTubers are for anonymities but some viewers are doxing and making fun of them. Viewers want the streamers to be open and clear, but Hololive VTubers want to be anonymous and opaque. That idea contradicts sexual differences and gender anonymities that include tensions of being rigid and flexible. In conclusion, Hololive does not live static condition, but moves through ambiguous avatar of cyber anonymity. Anonymity could always be endangered; laws protect them but attacks to psychological condition is inevitable.

Abstract

Abstract: The research deals with the archetype of supernatural power in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton. How are the supernatural power archetypes portrayed in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton? The theory of archetype, Pararaton, supernatural power, and a qualitative research design are applied to answer that research problem. The Morphology discussed focuses on the difference between Hindu and Islamic traditions. The finding shows that Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedathon show male-dominated figures. The archetype of male supernatural power in Pararaton and Babad Giri Kedhaton is portrayed as shining, disciplined, and a great achievement as a king. To sum up, the two stories reflect that the heroes (Propp’s idea of a hero) are male holy figures having supernatural power as miracles. Therefore, the fabula of stories has many similarities. However, both books have different traditions so the differences influence how stories are told as the suzhet.
