>>14364169>It's very mainstreamA normie might, might, watch a Ghibli movie and be aware some cartoon they watched as a kid as made in Japan. They don't watch anime though, and certainly don't want to watch some weeb pretend to be an anime boy.
>most looked fine You should of given up at the first point but this is even weaker as it admits the main point. Girls streaming have to be good looking, guys can look like some random cunt off the street. There is no looks buff and no audience who find looking at a real guy streaming awkward. Unlike people look down on ethots but can stand female vtubers.
>notable pre-existing audiencesThis is when you start arguing in an increasingly pathetic way that shit numbers are actually amazing. But even sadder you couldn't even suggest a niche cause they won't fill one that normal male streamers don't already so.
