    Some aspects of streamer culture I get, I do not understand vtuber culture. Youtube started recommending one to me because apparently played a video game I like and watch videos about, and…as far as I can tell her job is to be professionally sexually harassed. Like, men used to whistle at showgirls in saloons, now they throw virtual acorns at anime girls to “nut on” them.

    Fun part is her mom apparently found out, and participates.

      I almost feel bad for laughing at this.

      vtubers are just ugly people. they know they won’t get as many views if they showed their real face, so they use an avatar.

          Because it’s blatantly wrong. Many high profile vtubers have had their faces on stream or leaked and they are usually average to way above average looks and often get more views on their IRL content. I am sure some are ugly, but claiming it as a primary reason as if all vtubers have image issues is provably false.
