how to read /vt/, guide for beginners:
>read a comment
>does it sound angry/hateful?
could be a newfag that is not accustomed to the thread culture and got influenced by shitstirrers mistaking their samefagging for thread culture
>does it sound hateful AND malicious?
it's a shitstirrer.
>does someone reply to malicious post trying to refute it?
also a shitstirrer playing both sides to provide "discussion" to prompt more responses, while in reality both posters' motive is to cause havoc.
>does it sound like unbiased constructive criticism?
probably not a shitstirrer, but shitstirrers like to interact with these posts and spin them to sound more malicious in their own posts
>is the post humorous in nature?
not a shitstirrer, just a shitposter attempting to do some cheeky banter, shitstirrers have no sense of humour.
>does the post mention a chuuba that is tangentially on topic (good rule of thumb is: if any form of public interaction happens, then the vtuber is tangentially on topic, the more interactions there are, the less tangential and more "on topic" discussing them becomes) in the thread and gets replies like "fuck off" and "go back"?
either the reply or both the post and reply are shitstirrers.
>is the post about a stream that is happening at the current moment?
not a shitstirrer, shitstirrers don't watch streams.
there are other signs, but these are like the main ones.
