>>87667034this, while we can't physically go slap some grifter piece of shit for doing literal "give me money and I'll do stuff" and then not delivering on it, the overall Western vtubing audience is fucking far far too tame and forgiving for not blowing it up and shaming the everloving fucking shit out of anyone not delivering on donothons. taking the money and doing nothing with it and acting like nothing happened is practically fucking stealing.
you can say "but they get donations and income from regular streaming and members all the time already anyway, what's the difference" but these extra-money contests are supposed to be justified as existing at all by there being whatever rewards shit from it. if they can't even do that, fucking call it what it is. stealing. very very very very literal grifting. shame them into delivering or apologizing.
for that matter the Western audience is fucking chickenshit faggot orbiter mode about a lot of things. in the JP scene if a chuuba backs out and cancels a stream that is a fucking scandal especially for a large member, because that's considered wasting the audience's time. some people planned their night around that stream etc and to rugpull it means those people might have had other plans that got stalled over what turned out to be nothing. but that's yet another convo, the donothon shit is low hanging fruit relative to that.
