>>57875913Kayfabe has been deteriorating EN sphere since 2022, I remember some of the chuubas had this self-hating notion about doing their own kayfabe for some reason. Even Pomu Enna and I forgot 2 chuubas on a clip were saying "I'm glad I don't have to pretend to be cute characters again" when NijiCN peaked at 2022.
Then more retarded trend like IRL vs Vtuber came out, torpedoing bunch of political agenda like LGBT pushing that foster within the comunity like Froot announcing charity stream to thelp Trans children, only for that charity to be outed as a massive scam and inhumane doctrine process of an underage kid. Then it got torpedoed further by bunch of literally drama level of twitch highschool retardation from both side of YT and twitch.
You kinda see this process as well in JP sphere where kayfabe doesn't seem to be valued much, but it's still early in the process. The only place were Kayfabe still standing is ironically Hololive both JP and EN. And more ironic that Holomem that has the strongest Kayfabe are one of the most popular chuubas in the vtubing sphere. Even Salami with how mismanaged Kurokara with her, actually bring in new wave of audience with her Ojou kayfabe.
Kayfabe still could sell, but it's just most of Vtuber are giving up or never even did one in the first place, they go straight to VERY CRUDE lewdbaiting not in a sexy way, but gross way.
