>>13428414I'm saying the Hololive company is selling characters, acts, and kayfabe. What a Hololive girl says, as "Korone", is her feelings as Korone. Probably her feelings not as Korone anyway, but when Korone is making a cult where you love Korone and give her your fingers and don't watch other women, is she selling you on a relationship with her roommate? It should be obvious that while her love isn't a lie or deception, it's not "love" in a traditional romantic sense. You're not being ripped off. Which girls are actually selling being you girlfriend as a roommate? Literally only one and she's actually menhera enough to believe it. The rest are, at the end of the day, an "act" even if the feelings are real to a large extent. They're not a character in terms of a rather well thought out act or deception, I mean, they are at the end of the day playing a role for their audience and fulfilling the role. You are getting the role you were advertised. People who can't tell what they're "buying" in the first place are the only ones getting scammed; but are they the ones donating massive amounts of money? The ones watching everyday and listening to everything their oshi says, should actually know what their oshi thinks about them and what extent to the feelings actually are, to what extent it's just playing the "role". Really, just who is getting exploited? Most of the people who donate, are doing it out of thanks. Because their oshi gave them something. It's not some sinister fucking plot on the girls plot to drip the viewers dry of all their money. A lot of the members often advise their viewers not to donate too much. Both the viewers and the hololive member get something out of it, the viewers are under no obligation to donate, and the people who donate the most should understand their oshi the most from watching her and presumably her roommate. Really, who are the people getting exploited? Who?
