I realized something recently...
There's a lot of people in the VTuber community who fucking apes over various reasons (Kaela's generosity, Marine getting flamed over Puyo, Aqua's VSaikyou etc.) and there were various instances where the chuubas had to "lightly" admonish their audience and tell them to stop being retarded...
I initially thought this was just the nature of online entertainment, but after seeing and hearing about all the actual kids that were watching chuubas like Marine, Pekora, Gura etc... I had a scary thought.
What if these "stupid people" are just kids? And the VTubers are their parental figures, teaching them right from wrong, and basically raising them into being a proper adult just by streaming and doing the occasional tardwrangling?
10-15 years from now we might be looking at a subsection of the population that had absentee parents that plopped them in front of a screen and were actually raised by Hololive and other VTubers...
