>>44916063pretty much, albeit there are two modes of GFE as I'd put them -
- unintentional where they aren't even really-trying to get goslings but do or at least did initially just by their mannerisms alone (Ame). may or may not play into it later.
- intentional where they try to exploit gachikoi audiences for every cent right from the start and manipulate them (Rushia). sometimes makes it their entire deal and doesn't even have good content (or much of any) outside of it.
kiara's neither of these really. but she does really like and appreciate her fans which isn't a GFE thing IMO but more like a basic expectations thing of entertainers to like their fans. what kind of fucking dogshit person automatically hates the people who like them? someone who expected a difference audience to turn up and is unsatisfied with what they've got? you can't really un-make your audience composition without pissing off the original fanbase so might as well just start over or quit the business if it's that fucking important if you're afraid of being secondarily judged on account of your fans. these girls should have known full and well they'd be attracting dorky geeky weebs, often loner types, by being a vtuber. if they can't put up with that then they should GTFO.
