Facts. The concept and creators themselves are not problems. However, the communities lack of social skills is worrying

Men are disgusting

Definitely have no idea what a vtuber is

A lot of them got great voices, also it’s cool seeing girls being so freely degenerate as guys.

I mean get your bag. As a kink or whatever, hard no though.

Not a fan but I get it to an extent. I do think the need for every piece of content you consume to be anime in some way is weird and probably an indicator of a bigger problem but that's a whole other discussion.

I think eventually we'll see some of these bigger vtubers dive into shilling web3 content. To my understanding a lot of the bigger vtubers are owned by or work for big companies and vtubing is already web3 adjacent.

i think streaming and watching streamers in general is pretty unhealthy tbh vtubing probably worse

I hope you read this, because I'm f***ing mad.

Your streams the last few weeks have been god awful. Every stream is invaded by thr most attention starved, gossip hungry, s***ty dregs of sodas fanbase, begging for a little bit more detail on your relationship. He's constantly advertising it on his stream. You gave him the streamer role in the server so everyone can see you together on the sidebar and know exactly what youre doing when you go on mobile. You keep doing this cutesy beat around the bush thing, bringing up "that soda can guy". But it's not cute, it's f***ing annoying.

I'm not a fan of soda. He's a boring loser. A s*** tier streamer who got successful during a time when twitch was a barren wasteland, and now coasts along using the friends he made along the way as content. I couldn't give a s*** about him.

I also couldnt' give a s*** about who you're f***ing. I don't really want to hear it whether it's soda or someone else.

But the two of you advertise it so blatantly and constantlt, that I can''t help but be reminded of it every time i tune in. I dont want to hear it. I now some LSF . I don't want gossip about strimmer X and strimmer y. You're professional online clows, not the hot highschool couple

I hope it would calm down, but today you proved that it isntgoing to.

You both have proven yourselves completely incapable of keeping your realtionship private and off stream, But today, in top of all that, you now have the gall to claim that streamer who do manage to keep it private should be more honest because you're upset that you're getting s***? How did you come up with such a bone headed opinion? They are able to manage their public and private lives effectively and don't have problem with their fanbase, but you think they need to change their behaviour? They're the ones doing it wrong because people are still happy with their content? After ruining your streams with this inane teenage "will-they won't-they" bullshit, how the f*** do you come up with this?

If silver has a boyfriend, I don't care, because her streams are still comfy. If nyann has a boyfriend, I don't care, because her streams get better by the day. If mousey has a boyfriend, even if it's Connor, I don't care, because I can still sit and watch a mouse stream without Connor coming up every 5 seconds, and her moderators at least make an effort to oust the weirdos.

Nobody is mad at you for having a boyfriend. Get over yourself. People are mad because they don't care that you have a boyfirend. They're mad because the content they subscribed to is gone and replace by this bullshit that they don't care about. They're mad because you and your community have been unrecognisable the last few weeks, and it's all because your manchild crush started paying attention to you, and he's somehow even less capable of being a responsible adult than you.

I'm emabarrassed to say I now, but I was worried about you. I thought soda was taking advantage of you, pushing his audience to gossip more to farm interest and get attention because you were hot s*** for a minute, and that was wrecking the vibes in your stream. I thought you had a fangirl crush and were too enamoured to see how f***ed his attitude has been. For a little bit the word grooming popped into my head, because you seemed more and more and more isolated and willing to make changes in such a stupidly short amount of time.

Now I think that if you think other streamers relationships should be this way, then you're too stupid to be worth worrying about. I kind of hop you are being isolated from your friends, because this attitude you've develeoped can be seriously harmful to people.

You seriously need to self reflect, and realise how completely f***ed your relationship already is, You can't have this attitude that it's perfect and everyone else should do it the way you're doing it, when clearly it's f***ing with you, and it's f***ing with your fans. The least you should do now is try to reign in your chat and get streams back on track. Remove soda from that part of the equation and keep things more private. He doesn't need to be in your discord, he doesn't need you on this desktop background. At the very least enforce the one actual chat rule you have; don't talk about other streamers That way when the s*** hits the fan you might still have some fans left.

I don't want to be mean in this email, I just want to get through to you that what's happening isn't normal or healthy, neither professional or romatically. I've had a lot of emotional investment in this stream. You and chat have helped me through some rough times, and I want it to return to what it was.

For now though, I'm done. 15 month sub, viewer for even longer, and I'm gone, because of your direct actions. I'm not some parasocial. I'm not mad that you're not single. I just don't recognise this any mroe, and I'm not interested in what it's become. It's not me. It's you.

A what now?
