>>31651337I find myself growing more frustrated by the knowledge: what I like and enjoy is considered cute, desirable, and profitable but only if a woman does it. I don't think my interests are wrong, nor do I think women are wrong for enjoying my interests. I just feel slighted. Is that misogynistic? I'm upset women can more easily profit off my interests. I tried streaming for a year, built two vtuber models from scratch (they were goofy but they had some nice elements to them, they were far from bad since I took weeks to make them), I even branched into all sorts of niche interests; yet nothing came out of it. Meanwhile I saw women debut and already have 20x my popularity. Even if 90% of them were bots, horny indian men, and what have you; by sheer virtue of them being women did they get a better start.
Do women experience more unique issues compared to men when they stream? Probably. A woman mentioning a lover is an extreme debuff, while a guy can get away with having a lover no big debuff. But the counterpoint is that the "debuff" is really just them losing the bonus they got as a woman. Additionally, a woman has to deal with goslings. You'll be subjected to conform to a goslings' skewed worldview and any small deviance from that will net you an anti at best or an actual stalker at worst. But how common are goslings like that? Most of them will just shift their worldviews to accommodate you while dropping hundreds to thousands of dollars per month.
So in the end, I don't know. I find myself constantly shifting between understanding and frustration. I think if everything is tallied, men and women have it the same when it comes to vtubing. It's just that women are given massive buffs that could fall out from under them at any time and put them in a position worst than what a man is at.
