I think a lot of them are kinda cringe, but I understand the mentality of not wanting to show your face on your videos. I want to create content but I don't really wanna show myself, so I might create a vtuber model

I’m sorry what?

Oh

It’s the future

nerd s*** but harmless so w/e

Weird

I think peoples reliance on parasocial relationship is a problem that keeps getting worse

Been following the culture/industry for the past 4 years and it's been fking great

It's really just a niche type of streamer, s*** isn't that diff than other stuff out there like we have mukbang, gamers, ASMR. But industry wise it brought many great changes not just to streamers I'm talking talents as a whole. It opens a world of work opportunity to illustrators and media creators. These people who usually work behind the scene and doesn't get appreciated enough (emphasizing anime industry where animators don't get credits enough) can secure better work prospects

And imo they have some of the best community out there, the fans to talent, talent to talent relationship are often wholesome. People connect so much through this interest. There's creators who said their vtuber gig got them to link with their peers, there's this illustrator x vtuber who host talks and brings over guests and a lot of them feels glad they can finally open up to someone

What do you mean by this?

Thank you. This is very insightful

remember that mori calliope lean s***

Isn’t it just twitch steaming but with an even nerdier anime twist?

Pretty much, but not everyone uses anime characters. Some people make 2d avatars that are more like cartoon characters. I'd do that

it's pretty easy to fall down the parasocial hole with them ngl

not seeing all of them appeal to that, not at all, but they do cater to a fantasy with their designs usually, and kinda like tiktok, I find myself watching vtuber clips for at least an hour daily, and the whole superchat system is literally designed for you to spend money to be acknowledged

but they are good, didn't really find any female content creators to be funny until I came across them

As far as u becoming a vtuber I say go for it but keep in mind that the market is hella oversaturated right now so you'd better have a really good design or some very unique content to stand out above the rest

I think vtubers are fine by themselves. A lot of people are insecure or there's some women who don't wanna show themselves on Twitch/YT (for very good reasons). Plus some of them are actually pretty funny, though there's some definite weirdos in the bunch.

I think the community, for the most part, is dogshit however.

demonic sign that we're slowly creeping closer to the end times

damn krishna... not you.
