Well, since we brought this topic off, I might get out this chest. Here is my take on vtubers as a whole, and my opinion on the hobby. Please address this post, which relates directly to vtubing, in any responses to it. You will either make it a rule to not purityfag or I will keep doing it, meidos, you can't rangeban the entire continental USA. Stop fence-sitting.
When I was in college there was a girl I hanged with. One day one of the professors started hitting on her, and gave her his number.
She was ambivalent about writing back, and she asked my opinion. I said: "do what you want". They began dating and the guy turned out to be a sleazy piece of garbage but that doesn't matter.
Almost a decade passed since, yet I think of that moment everyone in a while. Why did she ask my opinion? Because she wanted me to stop her. And perhaps I knew that she wanted me to, but I didn't.
Why? Because you are supposed to be stoical.
Because caring is a weakness.
Because god forgive we believe in things like love or romance, or anything not buried in sixteen layers of irony. This is how we do things in the west.
I read about Lyger pushing Matsuri into the arms of an apex pro player, and congratulating
her on her wedding in her roommate account.
This is probably a rrat, but I can believe it. You have to pretend to be detached. People will mock you for falling in love with a vtuber. Everything you do must be ironically. You have to pretend you don't care, and that you will be happy as long as your girl is happy. Fuck that.
Japs have many defects but at least they are sincere on this thing alone: they don't cuck out pretending they are fine with anything.
Today, I stand as a part of a collective entity called "chat", and the circumstances repeat.
This time I won't say " do what you want'.
You will do that anyway.
This time I will say: "No. Don't write him back. I want you for us, the chat, and for us alone. Lets go full parasocial. Lets make Watame codepency with her chat look like a joke. I don't want you collabing with men. You must love only us. This is selfish, but we are selfish. Fuck Lyger, fuck my older self, and fuck all the anti idolfags. Lets go together down the path to hell."
And of course, the females and the trannies will screech at this, and call me a schizo. Let them.
They will think I will try to become a stalker, but they don't get it. I don't want to have a gf, I don't want to be an individual. I want to be a fan. I want the true idol experience, the one that the japs have. I am done with this ironic shit.
I am done pretending I don't want to care. A life of playing it safe has left me unbruised and unscarred. This time I want it to hurt.
Non idolfags have fifteen western vtuber groups to get their "real women" experience from. Let us have this one for us, at least, and for you as well, because one day you too will get tired of keeping face.
Normies get out. Ironic weeb get out. Twichkiddos get out. /qa/ jannies get out.
Fuck you all. Long live idol culture.
