>>102517362Only if you subscribe to the theory that the vtuber is merely a "streaming with an avatar".
For many (I would say for most) that's far from the truth. The vtuber is an emergent property of
>the person inside>the model and character>the environment it's embedded withinChange any single part and it becomes something completely else and COUNTLESS examples exists these days to prove just that
>attempts to change "the person inside" (gamebu)>attempts to repurpose the character and model (Kizuna and clones)>person inside gets a new model and character (many, including Fauna / Nimi)>same character and model, different company (indie kson / VShojo kson)And in a very amusing and ironic fashion, the people exhibiting actual "parasocialism" are the ones that fail to understand this very point: the vtuber is NOT the person inside
