I had an epiphany. JP vtubers are just like us and know how it is like to be a viewer, while EN vtubers are just like us too but refused to acknowledge that, pretending they are better than us.
It started with Kanata, for me, some people might realize this sooner than Kanata's stream to address the minecraft m*le collab that she was forced into by the management. She addressed everything in that stream, and gave a vow to her viewer that she did not break during the micra stream. This is because she also has an oshi which "betrayed" her and she knew how it feels to be betrayed by their own oshis. She doesn't want it to happen to her fans.
Pekora's "you are all my friends" are indeed genuine because she literally has no offline fans, even Marine who is closest to her in hololive seldom meet her off stream. She is a shut in, an introvert, just like most of the vtuber viewers, which is why she resonates with the nousagis. We are all together, as friends, interacting with each other when the stream is live, in our own home.
Amelia's "improve yourself" is something that she had to tell herself, but something she did not do but want her audiences to do. She thinks the audiences need to do that before she would need to improve herself because audiences are lower than her.
Same with Kronii, saying "you are not maidenless, are you", when she has no man of herself is pretty funny. Sure she might find her man in Vesper but there is nothing wrong for kronies to seek maiden in Kronii too.
Fauna's "we cannot be friends, and we should not be friends" is not most hypocritical, and the most detached one of them all, probably because she is a lefty/pol/ vegan. Not only does that sentence mean that she is above you as the content creator, but the later part about "never meet your heroes" is also a form of gatekeeping. She met her oshi, but think her viewers should have 0 chance to meet her, let alone be friends with her, just like her being friend with her oshi.
This is not just about vtubers, but entertainers in general. Western entertainers including all the streamers are rotten to the core. They hate their viewers who made them, but also want their money. Actors and script writers hate fans of the franchises, gaming companies hate gamers, streamers hates parasocial viewers but want all the parasocial benefits. I can't believe western education breed an entire generation of entitled adults.
