"Oh I donate 100's of dollars to an anime girl who tells me she loves me... wait why are you ghosting me already?"
People in this community by default are emotionally starves lonely men who are so desperate for any kind of love, friendship, and affection they get emotionally dependent on someone who doesn't even know their real name.
Simple things like getting told "I love you", said to 20,000 people at once fill their brains with dopamine and fill them with love and happiness they have never felt before.
This is called habit forming behavior also known as "Addiction". When you get that flood of dopamine, you feel good. And if you get that flood by giving her a "Donation" and seeing her visceral emotional reaction, then you WILL get addicted.
And the fact people don't realize that this is habit forming behavior is the main reason why vTubers are so dangerous, just like any kind of Parasocial relationship. But it's the main source of happiness for so many people so they DEFEND it with their lives.
"Why judge someone for what they like" they say as they throw out another donation? Why judge? Because you are trapped in a cycle you don't even see. You are addicted to something that is not healthy, this will not add anything to your life but filling an emotional whole that should be another person.
We as humans NEED to have love, affection, to be wanted. The Oxytocin, emotional validations the chemicals it floods our brain with, those are essential to a good mental health. But when you are stuck with a Streamer being that source, you are making a hurting yourself.
