How are most of the members of Phase Connect? I've been tempted to check them out, but Pippa has kept me away since she's basically a 4chan troll from what I've seen.

Pippa (and even more her outside-Phase collabs) being there is enough for me to avoid PC as a whole, but she isn't only crazy (in various ways) one in Phase.
Phase fans that I had "pleasure" to interact with are usually make it even worse. I mean calling blatant racism and/or homophobia "based" (with applause of other fans) don't make good first impressions, innit? Same with "proud lolicons".

^I've had very little contact with Mari so I'm out of the loop on why she's so bad, but I'll take your word for it at least. I'd hope there's some okay people in Phase...? But yeah Pippa also pretty much poisons the well for me unfortunately.

Edit: I just saw your edit, that's sounds like a terrible experience all around...

AFAIK Mari isn't "bad" in that way, she is just...well, as I said. crazy. Like "[former] drug addict, with no filter" crazy. Honestly other than Pippa (which some said me only "pretended to be like that to build her initial fanbase and now try to move out of it" - idk if it's truth, she, for some reasons, privatized or delisted most of her streams with SmugAlana and Kirche [or I saw them only on Twitch, since she stream there too), they don't overall looks so bad as people (hoping that isn't just because Sakana told them to, like why Pippa "chilled down"), they are just crazy. How was joke name about group? "Sad girls group" or something like that.
Their basis is to be contrast to "professional" VTuber companies, with less filter and political correctness, but as you can guess that kind of approach tend to attract more, let's say, unsavory fanbase.

Yes I spend too much time on the Internet, How did you guessed?

^Ah okay, yeah that does make sense. Thanks for the response. I try to ignore hateful fans with media in general, but sometimes they're so loud and intense that it's easier to avoid the media all together. So far Phase has been one of those times, but maybe I'll look at a clip or two of a few members at some point, hope for the best lol

Pippa's just one tiny part of a big company really, you shouldn't let that stop you from enjoying some good talent. Anyway Lia is pretty much the anti Pippa, in that she's a Tumblr nerd to her 4chan schizo, Does a lot of weird old kink, shipping and fandom stuff, (she did a tier list sorting her coworkers into the alpha/beta/omega thing for example just recently.) Also does a fair bit of rpgs, played a few old Final Fantasy's on stream. Big idol fan too

Uruka's an expert violinist and does tons of violin streams covering various songs, sometimes requests from chat. Also does some fun often lewd rp streams. And nobody asked but I'll just give a little info about their gen mates.

Iori does a lot of variety stuff, rp/games/zatsudans. Also Japanese lessons since she's a native speaker.

Tenma's the biggest gamer of the group (despite being a tiny fox lady), plays lots of different stuff, rpgs, shooters, platformers, new games, retro games everything besides horror, often to completion too. Very unique accent, quite the temper too, nice banter with her chat. Cool old wine aunt vibes.

And Michiru and Nasa well I can't tell you too much about their content since they mainly only speak Japanese but the other girls seem to get along with them well enough.

And that's just the first gen, there's 29 talents overall, so you could probably find someone to fit your tastes.

^Yeah like I said other time, Phase is sadly one of the reason why these openly "political" (and always from the same side, interesting enough) Vtubers rose to fame. Kirsche had massive boost to popularity with collabs. Same with Alana.

^^I honestly had no idea that PH have so many VTubers already, I knew about a dozen or so. Tenma hang out with Pippa a lot, so she kinda sour my taste even if, she is mostly known as "gamer" (hopefully not Gamer™). While I'm happy that other Phase members are "more normal" (but looking at today's world what is normal), but calling Pippa "tiny part" when she is Phase biggest streamer kinda seen as "face of Phase". It's like you would call Gura "tiny part of HoloEN" or Ironmouse "tiny part of VShojo"(RIP).
