History WebVideo / TonkatsuSinclair

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJERFz1Ca-womZpfH-5mh8A Tonkatsu Sinclair]] is a character created by [=AbsoluteUnit=]. Tonkatsu is a slow-witted, violent, and very foul-mouthed affectionate parody of {{Virtual YouTuber}}s. In character, Tonkatsu is a reviewer, livestreamer, and content creator who largely specializes in Anime, Cartoons, and V-Tubing.

She also hosts a (usually) weekly livestream on YouTube, with Dashie Li, called “The iLadies Show”.

* HardTruthAesop: Her "Listen Up Dumbasses" series has Tonkatsu give out a few of these.
** [[https://youtu.be/TExMezCXoaw The first iteration]] has Katsu say that there is no such thing as the "friend zone", and any woman who rejects offers for a date is trying not to hurt your feelings while also trying to reject you. Katsu also says that "a relationship is not the cure for what ails you", and that you should work on yourself instead of relying on a significant other and/or a sexual partner in order to be happy.

** [[https://youtu.be/ZTkj-SNIZS8 The third iteration]] has Katsu giving advice to a viewer who had a girl promise to date him if she broke up with her current boyfriend. While they did break up, the girl ended up coming out as a lesbian. Katsu says that the best thing for the viewer to do is [[KnowWhenToFoldEm to just give up in trying to pursue this any further]]. Katsu argues that the girl is most likely aware of how the viewer feels, but coming out as gay is a very personal choice. In the end, as painful as it is to just let her go, the alternative of trying to pursue her and destroying the friendship has a very high chance of [[MyGreatestFailure becoming a lifelong regret]]. The bottom line, Katsu argues, is that this girl would already be with the viewer if she wanted to be; regardless of why she's not, it's never going to happen.

* AuthorAppeal: Tonkatsu says that [[Characters/HololiveMoriCalliopeCh Mori Calliope]] checks all of her boxes -- Calliope is TheGrimReaper, but as a hot chick with [[{{Gainaxing}} huge boobs]] that writes HipHop and rap songs. Tonkatsu laments she "can't even begin to say 'no' to that".

** During a livestream in which she was accepting call-ins, a caller told Tonkatsu that there was a push to change the talent of WebAnimation/{{hololive}} to "[=iLadies=]". It turned out to be a setup, as when Katsu wondered if she was being pranked, the caller said "[=iLadies=] nuts on your face". Tonkatsu immediately let out a RapidFireNo, followed by her model freezing up.

* {{UST}}: Discussed in [[https://youtu.be/PkgFYAiG4J4 the second part of her review]] of ''Manga/MyDressUpDarling''. Tonkatsu refers to this as "airquotes romance", and the constant WillTheyOrWontThey is done for the sake of making a product appealing to as many people as possible. Even so, it's a PetPeeveTrope for Tonkatsu, since the two protagonists of that show are clearly in love with each other, but never act on it, which Tonkatsu argues makes the show drag.[[invoked]]

* VocalDissonance: Despite being an anime waifu, Tonkatsu has the same deep raspy masculine voice that [=AbsoluteUnit=] once had. When called out on it, Tonkatsu insisted that she was a delicate female flower, and was offended by the "accusation" of sounding like she's a guy. In her ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'' review, Tonkatsu claims that the voice her audience hears is her "English dub" voice and demonstrates it by speaking in a much more feminine-sounding Japanese voice.

* VideoReviewShow: Zigzagged. Some "reviews" are videos that look like Tonkatsu will review them but doesn't, like a "review" of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' where she complained about getting bananas stuck on her hands for the whole video. Other videos, such as ''Manga/NoMatterHowILookAtItItsYouGuysFaultImNotPopular'' and ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'', will be more straightforward reviews with deeper analysis. Still others will be a mix of both styles, such as a review of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' where she likes the first season but hates the second, with comedy sprinkled in.

* CausticCritic: Averted. For all of the crap she gives her viewers, Tonkatsu largely avoids talking negatively about the anime she reviews. Even the ones that ''are'' negative start out mostly positive and focus on some of the good aspects.
** In the review of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', Tonkatsu really praises the first arc of the show, and highlights the relationship between TheHero Kirito and the LoveInterest Asuna as a high point, since Tonkatsu saw Asuna as subverting a lot of "helpless waifu" tropes which annoyed her. But when the second arc made Asuna into a DamselInDistress, Tonkatsu tore the arc to shreds.
** In a review of ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'', Tonkatsu takes a moment to say that she won't "ascribe malicious motivations to the creators of the show", noting that they were working under strict time and budget constraints to produce it. She also notes that some flaws in the show's animation -- inconsistent backgrounds, bad lip-syncing, and janky character animation -- are found all across anime as well, so it's not fair to judge the show solely on that. Tonkatsu still didn't like the show, but she goes out of her way to soften the blow.

* DrivenToSuicide: The suggestion that she looks like [[Music/InsaneClownPosse a juggalo]] caused Tonkatsu to shoot herself. She was fine moments later, as she apprently can't die as long as there are waifus.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJERFz1Ca-womZpfH-5mh8A Tonkatsu Sinclair]] is an anime reviewer, livestreamer, and AffectionateParody of a VirtualYouTuber.

While ostensibly wanting to be taken seriously as a critic, Tonkatsu is nonetheless slow-witted, prone to violence, and very foul-mouthed.

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJERFz1Ca-womZpfH-5mh8A Tonkatsu Sinclair]] is an anime reviewer, livestreamer, and AffectionateParody of a VirtualYouTuber. It's made by the same person who previously made ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTotallyLegitRecap'' (formerly known as DWK, now known as Absolute Unit).

* OnlySaneMan: In "Most [=VTubers=] are DOING IT WRONG", MC fills this role. Tonkatsu says that the only way to get any clout as a VirtualYouTuber is to imitate ''WebAnimation/{{hololive}}''. MC points out that ''hololive'' only works the way it does because it has a built-in audience, and attempting to FollowTheLeader in regards to their business model is just going to ensure that no one watches you. Tonkatsu ignores him.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: In her video on WebAnimation/{{hololive}}, Tonkatsu compares watching the talents to going to a strip club -- "the girl comes out, she shakes her ass, and people give tips". Also, Tonkatsu says that in [[{{Kayfabe}} her world]], liking [[Characters/HololiveGawrGuraCh Gawr Gura]] makes you a pedophile.[[invoked]]

* {{Kayfabe}}: Zigzagged. Tonkatsu is clearly meant to be her own character, but only as long as it suits the purposes of the joke or the video. One review will have Tonkatsu talk about anime tropes as if they happen to hear, and another will have her talk about the anime industry as a business.
