One of the classic memes about vtubing still encountered in normie circles is that the vtubers are actually men with voice changers. We of course know this is not true, and yet one can't help but ask... Why?
Because if you think about it, it makes no fucking sense. The audience is primarily male, their favorite hobbies and media are, to this day, dominated by men, and a good chunk of the audience actively loathes "normal" women and expects vtubers to behave in a specific way. You also have vtubers who seemed to have realized that and leaned into content that panders specifically to men and the kind of audience you'd get from /here/. As one old wise fox said, men are easy, and many of them piss their pants the moment a cute anime girl plays some obscure game, wacthes their favorite EPIC WH40k lore of history videos, talks about some niche internet drama or cranks out vaguely (or explicitly) right-wing reactslop. These, however, remain exceptions, especially the few genuine ones, because foids generally do not have the same interests, routinely fail to understand their audience and even when they do, are often incapable of anything but pale immitation.
So I find it baffling that we don't actually have a bunch men with voice changers trying to grift their fellows by hiding behind a png. By any estimation, with relatively modest effort even a fairly mediocre moid should be able to amass an army of simps just by engaging with their favorite hobbies on stream. Because most women in the scene are also just regular ass women. Hell, some are autistic failures too, so don't give me that bullshit that your average vtuber fan just won't cut it. You don't really need some insane charisma to make it in this industry. And I would argue that faking your hobbies is much harder than faking your identity online.
So what's stopping them? Why don't (You) have a general on /vt/ with fans writing about mating pressing and impregnating you or whatever? Is the voice changer tech just not there? Is there something about the foid habitus that can not be replicated by men? Is the doxxing so prevalent that any such attempt would be uncovered way too quickly? At the very least, we should have WAY more high-profile cases where someone tried and got exposed.
