>>42719924Her "brother" was a forum user for a long time. He had been posting in the vtuber thread for a while and kept linking to her old life when she was a broke nobody who was working on fixing up a bus to be able to live out of it.
Then it came out she was part of the furry community and that zax has existed in her life since around 14-15 years old while he himself was 25 at the time. The posts that had zax in them called him her partner, not her brother.
So Zax bolstered interest in her with the unique prospect of someone actually using their money for something interesting/reasonable and DIY in the thread, people liked it, and she 'got found out' on being reincarnated as Pippa and got a decent starting base for her new channel with Phase. Then she morphed into using a lot of jokes from there because her chat was mostly people from the site, and you're going to end up playing to your audience.
