>>3081147Unless you're browsing 5ch, probably not. For languages in general, most net slang almost entirely exists in the written language in a specific context, like Krautchan. While people can and do use it IRL, it almost never comes up in vis-a-vis conversation with people outside of that net culture. With vtubers, I'd say their intonation is the weirdest part of their speech, rather than the actual words they use.
For example: Outside of a group of friends, when would you actually use "based" or "cringe" in spoken language?
In general you would use something more universally understood to express the idea of approval or disapproval.
And even then it's usually a bit easier to tell if something is net slang or not in Japanese given how word construction goes, and how static the common nouns tend to be.
