>>21661726If we're talking 4chan specifically, it's probably because they've become quite influential for topics many anons care about and have cared about since way back then. If you care about anime or vtubing, you will occasionally encounter them or their influence here and there. All of what I said is pretty neutral so far.
However all of their takes are basically 100% reddit popular opinion takes. Reddit's favorite show is their favorite show and so on. This would still be fine and dandy, however in the west, they've basically become the face of anime/japan culture youtubers. People adopt their opinions and share them around. Imagine if some omega funko pop collecting marvel fanboy was the most known and even respected movie critic.
So when they talk about vtubing, many english speaking fans will take it as fact. This is what happened when Connor made comments about how you get popular automatically once you enter Hololive, regardless of talent.
Do they deserve this much hate? I don't really care, but I can definitely say that their influence is mildly annoying. Even when I agree with their overall opinion on something, they don't really have anything valuable about it to say. It's the most superficial, uninteresting, reddit approved take.
On a more personal note, I just don't find them funny whatsoever. I can look past shitty takes or dumb opinions if the person is funny, but their jokes are usually the most predictable current reddit meme.
>haha big brain>is that a jojo reference>anime is trashand things like that. I get that nowadays almost everyone inserts memes during casual conversation, as dumb as it may be, but don't make it 100% of your humor.
