>>37570900Risu doesn't think vtubers are wrestling because she probably grew up in the Attitude Era and Ruthless Aggression Era, where wrestling was about being a bad boy and where even the Faces were still dickheads. Stone Cold vs The Rock and McMahon were the highlight of the era. Risu is rejecting the notion that she is acting or presenting herself in a fake manner for entertainment value. She has a character, but the character is closer to herself, but slightly exaggerated, and given a fantastical angle that lets her capitalize on her talents as the mood strikes her. This ironically reinforces that vtubers ARE like wrestling, just not the era of wrestling most people would think of these days. Risu is based on older ideas, like how Randy Savage would use his nueroses to plan angles where he acts jealous or is overbearing on a partner, because that's who he was: an emotional detail-oriented planner that saw the little things and got way too autistic about making sure everything was correct before showtime. People like him and Ric Flair who just played it up for the cameras have been around for ages, and will continue to be around. HHH is still running the business. Keith Lee is basically playing himself but overenunciating all of his words. The Miz is so deep in his character that nobody can tell where it stops or IF it stops.
By rejecting the comparison between vtubers and wrestling because of it being "fake", Risu has reinforced the position that vtubers and wrestling have a lot in common.
