I first got big into anime and otaku hobbies when adult swim was a thing in the early 2000's and I've been shamefully hiding my hobbies from my friends and family ever since. I only ever openly talked about anime with one coworker years ago because he brought it up first and was able to prove he knew about shows outside of the most basic shounen series. The few times I've ever heard anyone mention streamers IRL it was always to talk shit about "those people that watch other people play video games, who would do that???". There's not a chance in hell I would bring up vtubers or try to explain why I would watch them over normal streamers.
