The thing is, basic to mid level vtuber models have average expressive levels. It doesn't match up to the user's facial expression 1 to 1, and is a button to change it.
She has expressed herself that she's not exactly innocent but she just doesn't know the terms in English. So it's likely a mix of her actually having a vague understanding but not knowing the English word or being completely complicit and just fucking with people. I don't blame her, it's peak content. In this case I'm pretty sure she knows exactly what she's doing.
@@bastionsea2829Yeah. That's why "vtuber inuendos a lewd subject" it feels like content farming. They ALWAYS make lewd references but act shy when they try to explain it. Like, I feel like she talked about worse things than just "sex".
@@dynamicgecko1213 Silvervale and Melody (when she's not talking with Henya) seem to counter that. Silver will make an innuendo and either act accordingly and then move on, or show that she's genuinely unaware and follow it through While Mel is unashamed of her other job and won't 'beat around the bush' with it
It's because they're farming their simp viewers that find this stuff endearing for some reason. Meanwhile you go on their streams and they're basically glorified cam girls.
For anyone curious: the exact equivalent Japanese term for "pillow princess" is "maguro". Maguro means "tuna", and the term means she just lays there in bed like a fish on a cutting board.
@@OatmealTheCrazy The only real difference is the values. A pillow princess is seen as a pain in the ass because she doesn't do anything and expects her partner to make it good for her. A maguro is seen as a treasure because she doesn't make it difficult for her man.
Henya said it herself that she's not that innocent. She simply does not know or understand English slang terms for "pa pa pa" stuff. You pair her with someone like Holo's Marine or make Kson tell Henya these stuff in JP, she will definitely get it
@@jibjibs9401she was asked how a _family_ was made and said marriage. She's a grown woman, she knows what sex is. It's played up for the character. :P
Henya knows she sounds and acts innocent due to not knowing very much English. She just likes to ham it up in order to farm content. Generally she's been successful, since it serves as a nice foil to the rest of VShojo who are in one broad stroke the opposite of seiso.
Some parts she doesn't get but others, she's just rousing them up once she gets it. I wouldn't be surprised about her not knowing the actual term but as soon as she starts talking about family, you know that's just called content lol.
@@alexjgilpin she knows english very well from what I can gather. You don't just live in the US for awhile and not understand. She's trolling and being innocent is part of the act.
I remember hearing at one point that bao scared off her own sleep paralysis demon by being too down bad for it. I can’t remember if it was a joke and am too scared to find out.
It’s actually not quite the same. Traditionally, a “pillow princess” was used to describe a girl who received, but who never returned the favor. I.E. her sexual role was only to be pampered. It was more commonly a term used in lesbian pairings than in the general vernacular.
She probably does not only for content, but also so that it is completely indistinguishable for when she genuinely has trouble. For me and using Spanish(English is my first and only fully fluent language), I find that just rushing through and slurring my speech slightly makes all verb conjugation a breeze(and you better not correct me, and only ask for clarification if you really need it).
@@RusticRonnie Nah, the Japanese is just literally 1:1 the two words, they mean nothing to a Japanese speaker who has no context of the underlying meaning.
Man, trying to skirt around the word was just like the “have you ever had a dream” meme. “It’s like during, you know? Like the… the… during the… when you… when you do… um… when you…”
4:36 ~ Queue that one meme of the guy falling out of the trailer down the stairs, I swear I swung back in my seat, this was playing in the background when suddenly.
At a point, Henya definitely started trolling Bao. I don't doubt that she doesn't know what pillow princess means, but I've seen Henya troll with the best of them and by the middle of the clip, she has reached peak Henya.
Oh my *god.* I just thought Pillow Princess was a cute nickname for Bao but her trying to explain it to Henya made me suspicious because i guess i didn’t know what pillow princess meant so i searched it up and now i do.
I know she MUST have understood much earlier than that. She can't possibly be that innocent. What I can't figure out WHEN she realized. She is so good controlling her model I have absolutely no idea when she's acting.
It is primarily the ESL speaking. Slang is difficult to grasp for many of them and while Henya might be aware of what the term would be in Japanese, skirting around the subject in English usually ends up with this situation. Another Vtuber with this issue is Tenma from Phase Connect who had a similar situation a bit ago with dirty jokes.
She doesn't know the English words and I wouldn't be surprised she sometimes plays stupid because it's probably yabai just to make her fellow vtubers sweat for it. 🙂
She does probably have a lot of these moments where she at least initially doesn't understand, as she is ESL(English second language), but a decent amount of times, I imagine she plays it out a bit longer both for content and possibly because she is embarrassed or slightly nervous to try to just guess and go with it, especially when it is inappropriate. She is still fairly sheltered and innocent though, unless that is all acting and just a part of her character, which would be impressive.
Just how innocent this girl is?! In this day and she my little sister knew all about it because she watched pirated Anime, and you guys know the ads in those sites.

She's saying one thing, and then on discord she's privately messaging them to taunt them to say stuff then lol?

It´s like "melody´s another job" part 2, i cant 🤣🤣🤣

2 full minutes later... (3:23)
This is why you never make dirty jokes around Henya unless you're ready to commit to "the talk" style explanations when she doesn't get it.
Henya.....girl. never change. You're perfect.
Henya can't be this oblivious. I know I was being contrarian

Pillow princess? Wow, that's so much nicer then my term of 'dead fish'.
That means something else where I'm from. In Pittsburgh, a dead fish is slang for someone who can't get aroused, usually men with ED.
It’s actually not quite the same. Traditionally, a “pillow princess” was used to describe a girl who received, but who never returned the favor. I.E. her sexual role was only to be pampered. It was more commonly a term used in lesbian pairings than in the general vernacular.
Like a sack of tatties (potatoes) is my fave way to describe an unenthusiastic partner
Lmao im used term dead fish
@@johnathanedwards9054 But vaginas are associated with fish, not penises. Pittsburgh is clearly full of virgins.
The way Henya is smiling halfway through it feels like she picked up on it at some point and just committed to the bit to mess with Bao
We love henya you adorable loveable goof
Henya is right about princess Aurora
Those who unfortunately know, know.
3:32 That look when Henya finally gets it. XD
Henya is one of the greatest trolls around Internet
3:59 that squeak after she knew they call Bao "that".
"It's what they do after the honeymoon."
"Vacation?"
"It's how they start a family."
"... Marriage?"

love how henya's audience almost definitely told her very early on into this farce but she just wanted to see bao struggle
Henya too pure.
I feel like the kettle pretends not to know, and enjoys the awkwardness of them trying to explain.
One of the great things about Henya is that she always sounds like she's smiling. You can never be sure she's serious or not.
In my area we’d call that “girls who starfish”
That's amazing lol
Ahah c'est là que je reconnais un francophone
@@cheshirecat1169 yea buddy!
Imagine how bad it’ll be when she downgrades to queen or probably even empress
How much I wished Zen had suddenly joined the call going “for the love of God, just say sex!” and then left.😂
I'd love to see zen react to this
In Australia we call those girls a starfish because they just lay back looking like a starfish the whole time
Aussies are the best 😂

Henya: It's what?
Bao: It's the plap
Henya: Say it dayo.
Bao: 😫
Henya's unlocking her inner yabai.
The fact Henya immediately knew that she was one(or at least called one) the INSTANT she understood...

I am half convinced, Henya knows and is just torturing everyone. XD
THE PA PA PA
Pillow princess is a really endearing term for what is actually a dead fish
Henya knows what they are talking about, but she is having a great time 🤣
3:32 And this is what we call "realization"
Man, Henya's model is so expressive
I will never get enough of Henya being incredibly innocent X3 ❤❤❤
Man, trying to skirt around the word was just like the “have you ever had a dream” meme.
“It’s like during, you know? Like the… the… during the… when you… when you do… um… when you…”
The pain dayo
Somebody get Kson in there to explain so Henya can learn about the birds and the bees :P
Henya is so pure. ^^
4:36 ~ Queue that one meme of the guy falling out of the trailer down the stairs, I swear I swung back in my seat, this was playing in the background when suddenly.
The comedic timing of Bao’s choice of words.. ummm… okay.
“Is it like princess Aurora?” I mean, kinda? Considering how she originally woke up…
Henya, knows what you are talking about, coyly pretends not to know.
Bao fell into her own trap. Sometimes, I'm willing to bet Henya knows more than she lets on. 😂

Some of these times I buy it, but there is no way Henya was this dense
That 'oh my God' was Bao's real voice
I love that they are jumping the line well
Henya is too wholesome
this is why you keep melody around henya, to answer and teach her the important things of foreign culture.
It just blows my mind that this is an actual human to human interaction that I can witness virtually. I thought this shit only happened in anime.
Henya's mind connecting all the dots and absorbing the knowledge like she got hit with Domain Expansion: Infinite Void
Henya: whats pillow princess mean?
Chat: oh god please dont Google it dont Google it just look behind you
Sometimes you see Henya so sheltered you wondered if she's just acting.

She just wants to hear others say it
Aaaaand saved to playlist
You can definitely see that Henya is half-American.
Henya knows, she just likes to play
She is so innocent, and needs protected
I didn’t take Bao as someone who struggled to explain what a pillow princess was
Then again, I guess when you’re talking to Henya…
She's so innocent it's cute
The talk is a difficult conversation indeed.
Henya is oblivious just to force them into saying it.
Pure sweet Henya
Back in the day we just called this starfishing
3:32 *Cues the Digital Circus music*
Henya seemed really interested in pillow princess at first
It lines up with her ideal partner tbh, butler husbando san
So cute to see the pillow princess blush
3:31 This realization
Of course this is on my feed I didn’t need to be called at at midnight youtube;-;
Just how innocent this girl is?! In this day and she my little sister knew all about it because she watched pirated Anime, and you guys know the ads in those sites.
To be honest, this term is new to me too, I've never heard someone refer to sex as pillow princess 😶
PA PA PA
Henya is so adorably innocent.
Just say "it's yabai" and she'll get it.
Man, saved the best for the end I see
Bao, stop corrupting the baby!
Oh no. Bao don't tell her. She's rapidly losing her innocence.
Such a pure soul. Hahaha
This is the first time I ever heard the term pillow princess
