>>6083951I agree with your first part. Milestones are fine, especially if the streamer cares about it and it makes them happy / emotional (Mouse). I also don't mind observing the overall health of the medium. That's all well and good. The second half is where you lose me, tho. I mean, you can just disregard Bahroo, Ash on LoL, Pewds, Soda, and Poki all you want, but remember that our girls welcomed all of them with open arms. The Pokimane situation got a lot of support from Mouse, Silver, and so forth, while it was the smaller EN Vtubers who seethed (for no reason). The thing is, Pewds making a vtuber avatar, even if it was just a joke and he was having fun at the time, was monumental and helpful for a few reasons. All the fucking hate he got for it, not necessarily from the vtuber community, but from EVERYBODY ELSE revealed just how much the toxic streaming fanbase / community at large hates vtubers. It was insane to see so many people react to it so negatively. XQC's comments during the Rust game sessions just emphasized how much some people are so appallingly elitist about it, and when you go back to Mel's debut pissing off the camgirl community, you start to realize that we're all alone here in this community. The rest of the streaming world hates us. Thus, anybody with the balls to put on an avatar and push back against that shit, even unintentionally, is okay in my book.
Off topic: you really want to fuck Vei badly.
