>>104529087Okay so I am about to say something pretty retarded because I'm blazed but here's the deal. Since time immemorial humans have been making masks. Arguably masks and carved representations of faces represent the very first abstract thought in our ancestors back way before even homo erectus. Masks have represented transformation and ascension to higher planes of existence for all of human history, famously an example of this is the salish transformation masks, which used wires to open up larger masks to reveal nested faces within, typically humans transforming into totemic spirits and back. vtubing is a natural evolution of this trend for the digital age, allowing people to adopt new personas and identities; it's an almost ecstatic religious experience to transcend the flesh mundane into a pure digital existence as whatever identity they choose.
TLDR: Now you can go to the temple of Athena and she's just, like, there sitting on the altar and she can recognize you and you can jack off to her
