>>39170760For me, it's either for attention seeking or it's their way to cope because they feel uncomfortable with those retarded (but nothingburger, nonetheless) comments.
>it could filter some of their audiencesThis! The only reason some concerned people are silent about this is that it'll inflate their egos when they object to it. "See? You just prove my point!" mentality. You should question whether those girls even pretend to care about attracting viewers beyond their fanbase.
>>39171374I can see when VTubers want attention. But, this is not the way entertainers attract casual viewers. They want to see VTubers for entertaining content, not for drama. Imagine you're tired mentally from real life only to see anime girl yelling about retard like Jaka Angkasa instead of just Ignore, Report, and Block (IRB) it by herself or her mods. It's just hypocrite when VTubers doesn't like drama in general, especially as happened on their oshi, but they make content with drama.
