>>23203851Mori cares what we think because she's actually from here and has been here long long before vtubers were a thing, so she can see the benefits of here along with the detractions. Newfags, sensitive redditors used to babied in a playpen atmosphere talking about vtubers etc find it shocking but no it's just a bit closer to actual human discorse on the subject instead of mindless happy sparkles positivity. People with weak egos want an infantilized weak audience but Mori actually does have a strong ego pushing her through everything regardless of how dumb an idea something was or how little success she was getting out of it.
I'd wager she doesn't really pay much attention to yesmen redditors/discord orbiters/wannabe groomers. They don't -need- paying attention to because they are complacent and have nothing interesting to say anyway - they're already under her thumb of control. Those "true deadbeats" etc = the pliable, the naive, the perhaps gullible. Having heard a number of indies/small corpos speak frankly on the matter they get bored of being told everything's fine and perfect. No, no it fucking isn't otherwise they'd have infinite growth and success and that is clearly not what happens in reality. What good are fans who lead them right off a cliff of relevance.
Here, she faces resistance, criticism etc that can get very granular and specific and that prods at something in her. Either she likes feeling persecuted to keep feeling like an underdog (even though she's far far far more powerful than the people making fun of her) or there is some guilty conscience speaking that she is concerned about how legit she is, is any of this real, is she actually cool to people who aren't redditor beta twerps, what do people say if they're allowed to really comment etc. However there are also fans here, even today, you STILL have people defending her. If this was literally nothing but antis it wouldn't be a controversy, it'd just be unanimous rejection. However the fraction of people rejecting Mori grows with each subsequent yab. Unity is fucking impossible these days with Mori in there in EN, I'd say the closest one could bargain for is to just be neutral towards the ones you dislike instead of actively shitpost them while loving the rest.
