On one hand you'll have the twittertroons all upboating and seething "on behalf of" someone they do not and never will watch, not even a clip of. This lot won't even know what a vtuber actually is in the first place. The most visible part of the equation.
And on the other hand you'll have the silent majority of clockfag enjoyers: single men, regular joe NPC's who are lost in the sea of greynames.
The latter will find out and, invariably, lose interest in this streamer because of the implicit cuckoldry aspect that won't sit right with them, though they're probably not even cognizant of it. It's instinctual, and well documented in virtually every other instance ever of this sort of thing happening on youtube and twitch.
