>>18230703This would be more like if Batman was actively promising to come beat up the thugs in your neighborhood IRL if you supported his membership and akasupa'd him and then you eventually find out he's the Joker.
Rushia constantly begged the fandead to trust her that she's just for them and actively demanded they not "cheat" on her with other girls, not even watch other vtubers and she'd come stalk random members' twitters sometimes to try to corral her fans back in line. She purposefully blurred the distinction between it just being a casual thing vs her wanting you to take her seriously for real. All of this hinged on the argument that she is pure and just for her fans, she openly said on her roommate account she'd want to marry a fan eventually, etc. Everything, her entire selling point as a Holo, was you can trust her as the die-hard GFE experience that'll never ever stab you in the back. There is no worse candidate for this have the entire house of cards topple in on. If she was actually true and not lying through her teeth method acting to manipulate her fans? None of this ever would have happened, but nope. It's just desserts.
