>>41203138On the contrary vtubing in particular is an unusually over-controlled space in terms of critique where people really really overreact. Name me one (1) other place people can even -sometimes- have an open honest conversation about what they like and don't like about chuubas. Discords are either 0% there hugboxes or 1000% hate circlejerk doxfag hellholes. Twitter isn't people actually-talking, just antis popping up out of the woodwork to jeer at people and try to zing each other before they sink back into the murky depths. Reddit and youtube comments = you are not allowed to say anything other than praise, period, and obviously only a schizo superhitler would dare not be 1000% satisfied at all times from all vtubers, no that's not artificial at all.
Think about it, this space is fucking FUCKED in terms of what constitutes normal. People vying for goodboy points from their oshis are just chomping at the bit for the first opportunity to whiteknight and demonstrate how worthy they are. People get pushed to /vt/ because they get sick of dealing with that because it just shuts off normal discussion when everything is steered towards how great and perfect everything is. No, no it is not actually like that. If everything was perfect all the time the HoloEN girls would have infinite growth and income increases because hey everything's perfect and they're doing everything right, right? Oh wait, they've all sunk dramatically. We should be allowed to state why we've lost interest in some and what we ideally would want to see or long for in a chuuba, who gives a fuck what the chuuba herself thinks, the fans are what make her and the fans have a right to have their own preferences instead of be told "accept it", this isn't a fucking dictatorship.
You can criticize movies, shit on actors and TV shows and video games all day all over the internet. Nobody really cares. It's fine to not like something and have a strong opinion why and be able to state what you like most out of a medium. Vtubers? Somehow, this breaks down. You can't. Not outside here at least. That's why /vt/ is so big really, the broken state of "discussion" about the subject elsewhere funnels people here. Lots of undesirables yes but also people who just have an actual fucking brain and aren't satisfied with having to act like a preschooler to "participate."
