>>42508923one of the easiest question here: for money and success. A lot of them know that the majority of the money in this sector come from that particular slice of audience which can't distinguish fake relationship from real ones, so the tactic is simple.
Just act like you endorse those kind of behaviors at first, so you gain a fanbase, sc and overall reputation. Almost everyone here is okay with the cute anime girl vibe and a lot of people has also mental problems and need to sexualize fictional characters, so you just go with the flow at first and make cash.
Then when you are in a stable position after, say one year from your debut you start to set bundaries and restrictions trying to educate your audience on how you want them to behave, Sure, you can lose few of them because you are changing, but you're already accomplished and unless you really fuck up you're get what you want. A perfect example of this is actually Enna, if you watched her at first you knew how she approached her chat, right now she openly admitted that she was faking it, but it's too late to have an actual backlash because her fanbase is well roundend. The only exception with her is that she gave up her facade pretty soon, so she still gets hate from people and desu she also likes to tease her fans a lot just like the whole Kyo situation.
I'm sorry guys but that's how it is, if you think that these vt are here to indulge in your fantasies of you two being friends or even worse engaged, you're on the wrong path. Ultimately this is work for them and a very good one with high paycheck and in the end all the benefits of working from home. The best we can hope for is that they stay in character for as long as possible before the next drama comes out, just like Kronii, Ame, Millie Enna.
It's hard to find streamers who have actually found balance in all I've said above, there are examples like Pomu who actually managed to create an healthy fanbase around her, Fauna who managed to not dispel that cute anime girl illusion by not participating in any major drama or also Kiara who had one of the best redemption arc in the sector. I'm actually curious about Gura if she ever comes back
