Blu became a hollow idol and I won't pretend this isn't the case. The whole last year has been a disaster. There is no consistency with her streams and most of the times it felt like she was just going through the motions, and though there has been a lot of other stuff ranging from Twitter posts to NewTube shorts it all felt and was soulless. The reason for this is just my rrat but I feel it strongly, and it's that Blu genuinely doesn't care anymore in a fundamental sense. She's becoming too big to fail and is now a corporate idol, a celebrity, a product, a brand name, and she no longer feels the need to or even tries to connect emotionally with her audience. Somewhere along the way she lost all her appeal, but as usual for any streamer or celebrity most people are too afraid to call this out due to peer pressure.
All this bullshit with PlayCon interviews or ""gaming streams"" fail to deceive me. The simple fact is her streams, her actual streams have become worse and worse over time and this is coupled with either constant breaks or gaps. And when she does stream her heart simply isn't in it. I couldn't and do not give a single goddamn fuck about this PlayCon bullshit either, because it's just another, ANOTHER reason for her not to stream. And no, I don't think that her PlayCon stream(s)? were good or interesting at all. I don't even remember what they were about or with whom without looking it up. It's all just garbage, spam, and I see it as nothing more that yet another reason to not have proper streams while keeping us on alert by projecting an image that something is actually happening.
I have no idea what the fuck she's thinking. Is she genuinely convinced that this won't gradually come back to bite her in the ass? Does she think nobody noticed or sees the difference? The truth is even /vt/ is full of yesmen, but that just means her situation is even more precarious because yesmen will just disappear one day without even a peep. Is she really deluded about her success so much she doesn't realize she's standing on the edge of a massive fall? I could phrase all this in a thousand different ways but I'll try to put it this way:
>her streams feel dishonest and she is emotionally disengaged
>her attempts to fake being invested in her streaming and audience are blatantly obvious and it's very offputting
>she seems to not enjoy streaming at all anymore
>there is no schedule or consistency in her streaming and she tries to hide this with gimmicks
>she's grown incredibly distant from her audience and fully corporate now that Xavier is around, I strongly feel that she no longer has any feelings of gratitude, respect or love/friendship towards us.
>it's hard to pinpoint the exact moment when she went to shit, but it's been a whole year now
I don't care if you think I'm an anti, and I know you all think I'm just trolling or shitting in the thread but this is how I genuinely feel. Yes, I have been membered to her since day 1 and my criticism is a desperate scream for the real Blu to come back. I am unhappy, disappointed and even mildly disgusted. Blu, get your shit together or you'll lose it all. And by God I have no idea what kind of bullshit is going on with your mind and it's a horrible thing to say, but I think the PlayCon/NewTube celebrities have been a bad influence on you and you were a better person when you weren't so involved and friendly with them or anyone else. This is in stark contrast to one small NewTuber I watch who is a suicidal menhera (and yet she drags her carcass to stream REGULARLY) who blossomed and became a better person through her interactions with her chat and other chuubas. With Blu the exact opposite happened and now I feel a kind of stench wafting off of her that has all the flavor of that basic bitch scent.
Rip me a new asshole if you want, but I'm just barely able to stand her at this point.
