Nikutiri

Nikutiri is a term originating from the world of online streaming, specifically popular within Japanese VTuber (Virtual YouTuber) communities. It describes the act of cutting short a livestream or abruptly ending the broadcast. The term carries a nuance of unexpectedness or a somewhat forceful termination, rather than a planned or graceful exit. It often implies that the stream was cut off due to technical difficulties, operator error, or perhaps a sudden, unforeseen circumstance faced by the streamer. The degree of negativity associated with the term can vary; while it might be frustrating for viewers, it isn't necessarily always a grave situation. It's a common occurrence and typically understood within the context of live streaming.
