>>10019819To be fair, this is the subsection of men who like vtubers, want to dress up as anime girls, and enjoy being around other men dressed as anime girls.
I may not be a chiseled, hyper-neurotypical adonis, but I myself wouldn't be caught dead at a con. They're open celebrations of autism and cringe culture without any humility or secrecy. The absolute lack of shame is what makes it so painful to look at. Even the ugliest weeb with an ounce of self awareness knows to hide their power levels in public because the optics are shit.
This is why mainstreaming is always the worst thing to happen to niche cultures, because inevitably the cringe either ceases to be tolerated or the cringe elements get ousted in favor of it becoming an empty, heavily commoditized shell of its former self. And cringe culture without the cringe is just pop culture by any other name, which is why made anime and gaming culture got infested with the same subversive, gossip-obsessed globohomo trannies and tradcucks that flood into every other form of pop culture that could serve as an avenue to push their activism.
Western vtubing is dead.
