>>10358688I agree for almost everything aside from
>you have to put some semblance of characterYeah it's usually expected BUT that's really not understanding streaming as a whole
There's nothing wrong with someone wanting to be themselves-vtuber and not constantly have to think of some lore or w/e. Many artists become vtubers that way, they've been drawing vtubers for long and don't like real face cam, so they make their virtual avatar expect it's animated and they don't bring politics or other stuff.
You can totally just be your "streaming self" which you could say in a character, as basically all streamers act differently on stream vs talking to a friend or at work or with family.
At the opposite, quite a few content creators create a character they play with their body.
