>>23735038>Vtubers are fundamentally performance artists.No they're not lol. Not sure where you got this flawed premise. They're entertainers. Pekora's chat agreed, don't bother them about it.
>The thing is that their performance is selling the feeling of intimacyAnother leap in logic that only an ill mind could conceive. They're not "selling" anything except maybe their character, like many other entertainers. You being parasocial doesn't prove the opposite.
>but most everyone who says they're watching vtubers for the their entertainment skills are lying to themselves.Uh no lol, most people who watch vtubers watch more than one and there is a reason why certain streams (karaoke, certain games, 3D streams, collabs etc) get more viewers than shit like zatsu or superchat reading (news flash: it's because the former are more entertaining than the latter).
>Press them and most of the time they couldn't tell you at all what's special about their oshi any better than anyone who's blatantly open about their GFE.Of course they could, you just think they couldn't because you equate everything to GFE and cooming.
