>>41793089People don't say negative things about vtubers in public spaces not because others will give them a backlash but because it will alienate them from those communities and most of them only post in public because they want to connect with people.
There are communities built on negativity but when it comes to vtubers most people are fans so the communities are still built around simping.
Vtuber communities are basically simp contests. Whoever can worship vtubers or give them more money has more clout.
But there's interconnection everywhere.
Lot's of guys will use the same identity over stream chat, discord, twitter, reddit.
You are a Gura fan and you think Sana sucked? Well if you say that the other Hololive fans won't be happy and you will lose your status.
So it's better to shut up.
Oh someone said something bad about Mori? Time to call them out and get a few upvotes.
Everything is just a chase for likes, upvotes, clout, status
The vtuber community is like a teen movie girl's high school.
Everyone is fake and just pandering to each other for their own gain, holding back any opinion that the social circle would not like and ridiculing others to gain clout.
No one is entirely genuine or real.
And the lies add up over time.
It gets in people's heads and you get mental cases where fans will start to cry, shit and piss because someone called their oshi lazy for taking a long break.
That's why some people actually get upset this place even exists.
For them it's not enough that people don't disrespect their precious anime wives in their own communities out there, the fact that somewhere out there someone is saying something mean is enough to make them seethe.
This isn't just the place where people go to be mean online.
It's also where they go to be honest.
This is the only place online where you can get genuine honest no bullshit discussion about vtubers and if you keep coming here it means you secretly love it too.
