>>66773119>How does this count for normal viewers?Hard to tell at first glance. Sadly the whole small vtuber scene is just a grooming simulator: it is designed to give women gifts and attention.
The only way to tell a groomer from a normal person is if this person eventually pushes for more:
- Asking about personal info in dms
- asking for real pics
- expressing wish to meet up in cons, or just asking what cons are you planning to assists.
A person with no intentions will ask nothing in return, your best viewer is he who donates anonymously, they are the real heros. Anyone else is sus. The whole thing is a minefield. Keep in mind every viewer who is in love with you wants you to be your girlfriend in real life, but some are clever enough to hide it, either out of shame or out of maliciousness.
As a general rule never give anything to those who ask for it: never give mod roles to someone asking for mod, never tell anyone about cons who ask you about them, never do real pics, ever. Set strong boundaries and make clear you will never date anyone from the scene and bad actors, regular viewers or vtubers will go find easier targets.
>what can i do as a viewer not to be seen as a groomer? Do nice things and expect nothing in return. However, be warned, this is the board that cried groomer, so even if your intentions are pure you will be accused to be a groomer anyway if you focus your love on a single chuuba. Artists have known since the primordial era to spread their efforts as not to draw aggro: draw her friends too! It will make her happy and keep the schizos out of your back. This is known in the hlgg circle as the Klaius principle: focus your love, and everyone will hate you, spread it around, and you become an asset to the vtuber community.
A local example: Hanabi was bullied like hell by the bea fans/schizos, but once he came to wvt he drew everyone, including males, and became universally loved.
Well, until schizos started attacking everyone but at least every vtuber in the community loves him and so do most viewers, unlike in the old days where other dads were jealous of him for getting all that attention from bea
Also dads, you are still, 3 years later, the weirdest fucks I every seen. Only kronies are even close. My theory is that since they were hololive fans they couldnt handle the direct interaction that a small chuuba provided and that broke them.
Blood tributes? really?
I hope bea comes back tho, she was pretty funny. Maybe as a corpo, she already knows how to manage rowdy communities
