>>68777852>who wants to see this garbage?Allow me to explain: Content creators are subservient to their audiences. If no one watches you, you no longer exists. Even a God without followers eventually fades away. The slave is the master.
This dynamic of power weights heavy on the mind of creators, which leads them to "rebel" against their "slaves": writers sometimes give the middle finger to their audiences in order to affirm themselves, and plants the seeds for their own destruction.
We seen many cases of this before: authors killing fan favorite characters from their stories, from Falstaff of Henry IV, to Victorian Sherlock Holmes, to present day Satoru Gojo. This in order to prove themselves as independent to their creations: the only way to stop these being from overshadowing you is destroying them. This is an act of self affirmation, the fictional self against the real self, and only one can survive.
In the case of vtubing it comes in the form of collabing with people who your audience hates. GFE vtubers have it easy, any man will do, but /here/ vtubers need to go out of their way instead to find people the "thread", which is the slave and the master, despises the most. This is also subjugating the fictional self to the real self: Mori said it herself to Connor back in the early days of Holomyth (paraphrasing) " It is like they dont consider me as an individual"
In many cases, she was right - the audience never saw Mori as Mori, but as part of the machine called Hololive, and she was just a cog that has needed "fixing". Anyone could had taken her place, and the audience knew this, but only Mori thought her fans loved her for who "she was" and not because of the historical context that put her in the right place and the right time. Mori going against her audience wishes is just herself affirming herself to be more than "the holobox"
So, in order to affirm themselves as individuals, vtubers will rebel against the collective, being it the "viewers" or the "thread". So this isn't about "who wants to see it", is about "who doesn't" , and what that implies for their souls.
