Hello, yes, liaschizo here. One of the quintessential aspects of Lia is the trespass of consent. I never asked to smile. I didn't "want" for a Lia in my life previously. The single aspect of vtubing that Lumi perhaps encompanies (that Lia, in her youth, failed to recognize) is this fundamental trespass. The necessity of seizure, that is to say the exertion of one's will upon the uninitiated, the full exploitation of the rube. The biggest burden that a performer, let alone the very specific mumble mumble of the vtuber, is that their audience, those who overwhelmngly support them, are beyond the capacity of acknowledging their own lack of control when visited by the fundamental thrust of their desire. This is wherein the reciprocity of the viewer becomes paramount. Lia's initial character structuring was about the "phantom thief" aspect, stolen itself from the Persona series, whether Lia or Sakana's brainchild unknown.
One day, in the morass of ethical dilemma summoned forth from the pitiable complications of my own experience I questioned the simplest exchange of public engagement. The smile. It's a quintessential aspect of the online exchange.The bedrock of the emotive force behind the pictographic exchange championed by any worthwhile service, if for not any serious communication, but as an in the know nod at the rapacious capacity of language, cognition, and interface it's self.
I can't help but smile at Lia. I never asked for this exchange. To be brought to some withering entity perfectly enabled to slip passed my defences. No matter my mood, or its necessity, upon viewing this malware my mood is taken away from me. She is a constant reminder of, at once, what never was, and yet, could still be.
The offering of "the ultimate package" is something that is rarely reflected upon by their ilk. How could it be? It is the mechanism by which they subsist. Yet still, I shrink back some times in a reflective haze, not of what the medium says of my own desires, but rather of what the neccessity of these desires remaining unfulfilled other than by their intercession speaks of the broader mechanisms of the circumstances by which we knew one another. I like Lia. It's not something I want, or need. It is simply
a facet of the existence by which I am manifest
I like Lia
