>>46597370I'm pro gfe, but I will admit that the engagement ring merch level of it is disgusting for several reasons. Fortunately most don't go that far, even if just for logistical reasons.
Regardless, as long as the vtuber keeps all of that shit out of stream (unlike, say, Lia) and maintains a bare minimum of opsec (unlike, say, Rushia), the vast majority of the audience simply does not care. The ones who most often care otherwise and go out of their way to find an ex, a current boyfriend, a male friend or whatever, then blow up over it are shitposter doxxfaggot antis purely out to take advantage of emotional attachment for good reactions as they falseflag meltdowns, and genuine schizos.
Which as far as the latter group is concerned, nothing anyone on either side does matters, because schizos will be schizos regardless. All the most notorious parasocial schizos in western streaming have all targeted non-GFE streamers with even out and out boyfriends/husbands. Dodger, Sweet Anita, the one guy who straight up fucking tried murdering Meg Turney and her boyfriend, etc.. Merely being some form of attractive woman on the internet invites schizos, and I think it's ignorant at best to claim there's a particular draw of big blow ups towards gfe streamers, when for the most part drama that isn't being purposefully instigated by outside parties is contained to forgettable small episodes of petty bullshit, like an autist getting mad that a namefag is getting more attention than him.
