>>107461145I mean it makes perfect sense why she is in the position she is in, just that the vtubing community resents her for it. She isn't "the representative" because she has the biggest numbers or the most concerts or anything that plays directly to and appeals to vtubing fans. She is the lynchpin between normies and vtubers. When a normie is asked about vtubers, there most likely first response is 'oh that thing ironmouse does right? Ya she's pretty awesome but I don't know any other vtubers"
She's the only vtuber who has appeared in the political halls of Washington D.C. Sitting Senators literally watched and heard her speak on behalf of her health issues.
She is big not because of the vtubing community but IN SPITE OF the vtubing community. Her "being representative" is thanks to normies seeing her as the middle man of trying to understand a weird niche sub-culture.
