>>36755582Completely disagree with Astel about the "become an anime character" thing, but that might just be my westerner point of view. I enjoy watching streamers that are wholly natural and "human" while they stream. Chuubas who go way too hard into their kayfabe at all times will always feel completely fake and stale to me, simply because I will always know that the person behind it is a regular human. So, I prefer chuubas who are able to keep up a simple, easy kayfabe that integrates into their natural personalities easily, and the ones who try to "become an anime character" feel like bullshit, because people aren't anime characters. You'll never be able to point me to someone who acts like that in a way that makes me feel "yes, this is completely natural and not at all an act".
Also, kind of sad that Aruran basically portrayed the overseas maros as excessively rude and hateful who don't want him to grow at all. I don't hate the Aru-nii model, but I do still love the papa model and understand the feelings of the people who really want him to at least keep it around.
