>>15774334I've been saying there's several definitions of "here", this site is too complex and with such a long history (predating reddit and youtube's existence in fact) and has influence seeped out into so much of common net culture that is now disembodied from here.
There's "here" as in "has used 4chan at some point" and this could easily be most of the major ENs. If you were an otaku on the internet in the mid 00s chances are extremely high you were an /a/ user because again, reddit wasn't much a thing yet, discord didn't exist, MAL didn't exist (in fact, MAL was made by a tripfag from /a/ named doctatwoshoes).
There's "here" as in "uses 4chan" but this could really mean they're really from /a/, /v/, /jp/ etc (/jp/ sensibilities seem very in-line with some chuubas like anya and petra). /vt/ itself is very new and chuubas on /jp/ only really took off in about 2019 (even though /vyt/ had been a thing since approx. 2017). So they may be able to bro around with you about other boards but it's not like they're parked here reading everything about themselves.
There's "here" as in "tourist who came within the last year for /jp/ or /vt/" and I think this applies to most of the so-called here chuubas. This is hard to define because it means yes they might actually be reading threads/your posts/maybe even this post - but no they don't actually know 4chan very well and may have shockingly zero experience or understanding with even prior vtuber culture/memes endemic to here, despite being supposedly """here""". A tourist who doesn't even know or understand things like ogey/goslings/eggs/mikoboat etc but claims to be "here" just because they arrived weeks ago to relentlessly egosearch? Ehh, it technically counts but in spirit doesn't count to me.
The only real here is if they were both actual 4chan users and also now use /jp/ and/or /vt/ as well. I don't know how many of these there are, probably a few, but most of them are just tourists I think attracted by the gravity of this place.
