>>107475105You'd hope this would be the case but the problem is the wannabe LA scene chuubas also happen to have some larger names in them. Indies rely on leeching for growth on twitch and would be too scared of falling out of favor with mouse and the whore clan to speak up. It's just a shit platform in general but the thing is YouTube is a far more hostile place to try to make it solo so they are stuck with all these ethots and having to kick their boots. Even if they would love to shit on mouse until she's drowning in it.
Guaranteed, eventually the backstabby knives will come out for her some day when the coast is clear for people to air their real thoughts on how fake and bull shitty she is, but I don't think this moment is a big enough catalyst for it. Would love to be wrong because I mean what does the scene have to lose at this point when it's already dying and an actual mockery of it wins this stupid award.
The award is not a big deal but it should, as you say underscore that vtubers should not give a fuck about trying to please the masses. They never will get there, just like how not literally-everyone is going to be watching anime and playing weeb games.
