>>70238000For real idol culture it's more than just parasocial fucks because the concept behind the no boyfriend rule is also a pact with the fans to basically respect their time and money and not fuck around instead of pursuing the idol dream that they are supporting.
When applied to vtubers it gets warped because the "idol activities" that fans are supporting is just the vtuber's own life, their expenses, buying them things and so on. Most men are repulsed by the idea of financially and emotionally providing for a woman that is not exclusive to them (as viewers) so, as you can see with Ran, if they know they do not send money. However, you can always find simps into cuckolding and findom and that disgust feeling varies from man to man.
