There are 3 types of Vtuber.
>Those who are molded by their character.
They are basically like an actor who plays a character in a movie. They change their personality in front of the camera to match the character that the audience wants and expected.
>Those who mold their charcter.
They are those who use their character not as a role to play, but as a basis to create their own character. A good analogy for this kind of vtuber is like those who roleplay in an rpg. They are basically given a character by the game, but how that character behaves and act is up to the player themselves.
>Those who uses their character as a puppet/speaker for themselves.
Most of bottom tier vtuber belong to this category. They are basically like a bad ventriloquist, they use vtubing as a gimmick instead of a medium. Some of you might think that those who mold their character also belong to this category, but there is a clear distinction. If we use the roleplay analogy from earlier, those who roleplay in an rpg doesn't act like that in reality and vice versa. Meanwhile vtuber who belong in this category doesn't distinguish themselves from their character.
>Doesn't that mean that all good vtuber are fake?
It should be an open secret that all the top tier vtuber are basically acting a character. It might seem disingenuous, but that is what most people want. Most people wants fantasy. People loves to see this anime bunny girl blowing up a female knight with TNT in a children block game, that because its a novel experience that they can't experience themselves. They don't want to watch Rebecca from the class next door bragging about her boyfriend from another school, people can already do that in their own everyday lives.
>So what kind of vtuber is a good vtuber?
A good vtuber is a good liar. It doesn't matter if you are acting or roleplaying as your ideal character, what important is maintaining your image. If you're playing as a lewd middle age cosplayer, you tell your viewer about your experience grooming your coworker kids in the past to reinforce your degenerate woman image. If you play as your viewer girlfriend, you make sure that your character isn't being shipped with your male coworker. People might say that vtuber should be allowed to do stuff outside what their viewer wants. But I can assure you with 100% certainty that people who says that will never watch the vtuber in question even if the vtuber do what they wants. The moment the illusion breaks, you no longer give them the fantasy the viewer wants, the market is already saturated. If a vtuber doesn't give what the viewer wants, most will just jump to the next closest ship.
tldr, Korone is the best chuuba.
