"~honk~" ― Lolathon
Lolathon is a content creator of VR Chat, who has been around since the damn concept of the game. For every stream he does, he tries to make a new avatar to show off. His many meme avatars delight, scare, or confuse people, or make them ponder their existence. His home is the VR Chat Circus: the asylum of laughter and screams. Lolathon is one of the Great Meme Pillars of VR Chat.
As of 2022, Lolathon is one of the pillars of VRChat itself, having been with the game since its infancy up until 2022, basically just trying to brighten others days by memeing. He's seen the many bad meme invasions, such as the Ugandan Knuckles and Big Chunguses, but still, he treks on, trying to bring a smile to YOU.
History and Biography
Life Before VR Chat
Unfortunately, not much is known about the early stages of Lolathon's existence. The only two things that can be said for sure are: he was born in the United Kingdom or country under the United Kingdom's influence and that he had been admiring VR streamers.
First Steps Into VR Chat
Lolathon was playing VR Chat before he began streaming it. He was running around various virtual worlds with a single purpose in mind: to make people laugh. And, concluding from eyewitness reports, he was rather successful in doing so.
Lolathon's close friend HeyImBee was the one to convince him to start streaming his endeavors. Lolathon agreed, starting his own Twitch channel.
At first, Lolathon had been a mute streamer. But his persistence, comedic sense, athleticism, and commitment to the performances made more and more people start following the clown.
From Mute to Unmute
After Lolathon's voice reveal, he continued staying a mute to the outside VR world, but the increased interactivity with his audience caused his follower count to explode. His fanbase became expanding at an exponential rate, engraving Lolathon's name among the pillars of the VR Chat streaming community.
For the longest time, Lolathon's avatars were aimed at only making people laugh, however, at this stage of his career, he began including spook avatars to jumpscare unexpecting bystanders and his friends. Nevertheless, even the spook avatars were double-sided, aimed at spooking people first and then causing them to laugh. He would mix a sudden appearance of the avatar with a funny song, sound effect, visual, or dance.
This was also the stage at which Lolathon had first met BeezleBoop. While showing off his Rockefeller Street avatar in a cramped world, Polaris VR aggressively invited Beezle into the world in order for the two memers to meet, saying "this has to be in my bucket list." As Beezle joined the world, the two found out how similar their performance styles were and how easily they were able to play off of each other on the fly. The meme-off lasted for almost an hour, solidifying their friendship for ages to come.
The First Subscriber War
TBA.
Going Full-time
Up until this point, Lolathon had been working during the day, streaming in the evenings, and making avatars and/or videos in the time between the two. But after the First Subscriber War, he had decided to leave his job as the funds from streaming allowed him to sustain himself. This allowed him to spend a lot more time on avatars, massively increasing the quality of models and animations, videos, allowing for longer videos with better editing in them, and streams, allowing for longer streams and/or occasional early streams.
The Second Subscriber War
TBA.
The Huge Numbers
On September 8th, 2022, Lolathon hit the big million on his YouTube. To celebrate, many of his friends and his jumpscare victims, came out in droves to congratulate him. We here at the wiki can express nothing but love for the lovely clown and can't wait to see his next milestone.
Retirement
It was announced on Lolathon's discord, on September 14th, 2022, Lolathon would be stepping away from VRChat for the foreseeable future. In his own words, Lolathon feels like he achieved everything he could in VRChat, and, despite his dislikes on the platform, wouldn't have it any other way. Another concern was the physical damage he was causing to his body with 'a toaster strapped to his face'.
On September 17th, Lolathon ventured into VRChat one final time, while for the first time (after over 4 years of it being requested), using a livecam, showing how he puts it all into his avatars and dance moves. The clown was moved to tears when an entire lobby he joined hugged him and showed him endless support.
For the big send off, Lolathon visited the The Old New Hub, as suggested by Leeroy, stood in front of the mirror and said his final goodbyes to the virtual world (for now).
We at the VRChat Wiki wish Lolathon well wishes in his future endeavors. Thank you for all the laughs, Clown Prince of VRChat.
Surprise
In a very rare instance, Lolathon re-entered VRChat, explaining that he wants to visit the game on and off, to see how it is since he left. He went through the motions of trying to remember some of his famous routines of his avatars, most coming like second nature. He went on to prove, after four months, he still could jumpscare.
