Projekt Melody, or Melody (Template:Lang-ja) for short, is a 3D-rendered anime live streamer designed by American animator DigitrevX. She first appeared when her Twitter account opened in July 2019, and she has live streamed on Chaturbate and Twitch since early 2020. During her first three days of Chaturbate live streaming beginning February 7, Melody's Twitter followers rose from 700 to over 20,000, and her popularity has had mixed reactions. She is self-described as an artificial intelligence.
Overview
DigitrevX, an American animator of anime-style 3D character models, designed Projekt Melody (Melody for short). She is rendered in real time using the game engine Unity. She has blue hair and an adhesive bandage on her nose, and her appearance was influenced by other anime such as Ghost in the Shell and Hyperdimension Neptunia.
Live streaming
Chaturbate
Projekt Melody began to live stream on Chaturbate on February 7, 2020, and during her first three days of streaming, Melody's Twitter follower total increased from 700 to more than 20,000.
Twitch
In early March 2020, Melody made her streaming debut on Twitch, and was partnered before her first stream was broadcast. By March 9, 2020 (after her first stream), she had over 50,000 Twitch followers. On March 12, 2020, Twitch gave Melody a temporary suspension. Reddit user Fredthefree noted several possible reasons for her Twitch suspension, such as having a vibrator visible on her bed, skin becoming visible under her shirt when it clipped, linking to NSFW content, and Fakku (a seller of pornography) providing sponsorship. Later on April 7, 2020, Twitch updated their nudity and attire policy, which states new guidelines for acceptable levels of clothing coverage that everyone on the website is required to follow, including digital characters like Melody.
Reaction
—Lennox May, webcam modelOverall from a scientific and technology perspective I think that ProjektMelody is genius, but that it needs to be presented to the world in a way that is still fair to everyone else.
Projekt Melody's popularity has led to criticism from fellow webcam models, such as Lennox May, who concluded that Melody does not experience the same degree of vulnerability and that she should not be shown in the same place as human webcam models. Meanwhile, Reddit user and digisexual subreddit moderator xhumanist thinks that Melody caters to the desires of sexually disenfranchised men who believe that they are more likely to find sexual and emotional satisfaction in the digital world than in real life.
