We've had the infamous "ATM" incident, and that is one view VTubers can have of their viewers.
There is also that paper about turning the viewers into a cute mascot to distance the nasty things from how the VTuber views the viewership altogether.
The more I watch female VTubers, the more I realize that the viewers take the role of "gay best friend" - the viewers listen to the VTubers whine about every day life, the viewers offer comfort, empathy and sympathy; the viewers also try to make playful advances on the VTuber through chat messages and donations that the VTuber can never take seriously.
Do you consider yourself the gay best friend in your parasocial relationship? Or what role do you see for yourself?
