>>34206874The problem with the typical Western vtuber is that doing what you're talking about requires them to acknowledge what about them makes them a product.
With a lot of male streamers I tune in to, or watch the vids of, they're skilled at the game, analytical, funny, etc. But with basically every female vtuber I've seen, the only reason to watch them is because a cute girl is on screen.
To acknowledge their customers are there, and should be respected, fundamentally requires acknowledging the only product they offer to the audience is their cuteness.
regardless of how immature or entitled, or whatever the girls are, I can see how someone wouldn't want to acknowledge that their continued success is only because lonely guys like looking at cute girls being cute. It robs you of any self worth, if you're deeply entrenched in the industry.
That is, however, also rooted in thinking there's a problem with amassing an audience because you're a cute girl. Which would only be the case if you had no self awareness, and deluded yourself over why people watch you. I've only really seen one female vtuber I find genuinely entertaining, and it's because she plays what you'd find on GOG. She respects her viewers, does community interaction with them, does her best to put on a good show, constantly playing new games to her and getting out of her comfort zone.
She has around 30 ccv.
What sells in this industry are pretty girls, who appeal to lonely guys. If you can be comfortable with doing that, then you'll be fine. If you're not then you're basically just looking at the gachikoi/unicorns as a paycheck, which is pretty scummy imo since the girls doing this the most, also are probably the biggest in denial of why people even watch them to begin with.
But I digress. The tldr is that insecure midwit girls want to pretend they're genuinely mentally engaging, and aren't entertaining because they're cute. The entire industry is pretty fucking bad if you ask me
