>>2436417Bronies watched a show for little girls despite being adult men, this is different from vtubers who usually cater to an older (and often male) audience. Watching an anime girl play a video game is different from watching cartoon horses sing about friendship or whatever.
The other thing is fans of vtubers don’t make it their whole identity. They’re just another streamer we happen to watch. A different type of streamer, but fundamentally the same as other streamers. Whereas bronies were as much a cult as a fandom from what I saw. There isn’t even an equivalent term for vtubers fans - we’re just fans of vtubers. As opposed to “brony” which is a label and form of actual self-identification.
The two things are totally different. You can’t compare.
