>>66988573This anon has kinda grasped the truth. Viewers want to engage with their favorite vtuber, they like her personality, her character, her talents, whatever, and they do their best to support her for years while receiving pretty much nothing in return besides some words they respond to your red superchat. And that is fine, the vast majority of audience is very happy with that, because that's all they can expect. And then some fag appears and just plays/talks with her all the time, whenever he wants. It's impossible to not feel bad, even if you don't actually have any romantic interest or in theory wouldn't mind her to collab with men or even get into a relationship. You just feel left out. And this is true about everyone. Even the wildest homo supporter. The problem isn't that they might fuck (they probably do it behind the scenes anyway), the problem isn't that the viewer won't fuck (they know that they never will anyway), the problem is the feeling of your support being entirely in vain because you're just a name in the sea of other names, and once a completely random figure who's done literally nothing but being in the right place and the right time gets publicly elevated, you're inevitably gonna feel bad. And it is completely normal. If someone says it isn't, they don't get the vtuber industry as a whole. Also intergender collabs are usually very awkward either for the streamers or for the viewers because the banter between them isn't like between people of the same gender. It's either too mild and boring due to walking on eggshells, or feels outright flirty thanks to the setting, which is just simply unpleasant to watch.
