>>492246963. The mask off
Without the saplings' gaslighting, it is pretty easy to explain why this yab happen which is why this last point will be fairly short. It is just the usual unmasking/breaking the illusion/kayfabe. A lot of the catalog posts, especially the initial ones already explained it pretty well. Entertainment, let's be honest, is an escapism in the modern days no matter which type of entertainment. The entertainer, which Fauna called herself as, is a person who puts up a front to make the life of the consumer less shitty. The audiences know about this. There is no need for "real talk" when the audiences never asked for it. I think most western vtubers still don't understand that their audiences know this is just a play but they still enjoying it, just like some kids have imaginary friends when they are small, and they know the imaginary friends are not real but just like their company.
With that speech, Fauna only left her viewers with 2 choices: cope with it, pretend that it is not an unmasking by saying either the talk is not about parasocial, a real talk like that means she appreciate them, or they can still watch her, knowing that it will never be the same after this.
