>>13158239Everyone with brains knows it's fake anyway. I'm not looking for constant lore references, but I also don't want it to be contradicted or ignored. The roommate doesn't usually have direct control over their lore initially, so it's better to have generic lore that the person can build into. Shit like how Ame made up what is now considered a key aspect of her lore, just to explain how she knew about Mighty Beanz without having to directly expose her age? That's good shit. Baelz saying she's Australian because where ELSE would the envoy of Chaos come from? Good shit. Risu making the "Ayunda" split personality to explain her voice changes? Good shit.
At the same time, I'm not entirely averted to some respectful exposure of the business, like what Kiara does. You should work within kayfabe whenever possible, but sometimes you just can't, especially with an autist-soaked fanbase like vtubers have.
tl;dr: Keep up the kayfabe when you can, but know when you can't and act appropriately, and don't be afraid to change your own lore where you can.
