>>53260071The other thing is left to their devices women normally often aren't inclined to be cute/gentle, but dudes really like cute anime girl type personalities so vtubing managed to adapt bringing something analogous to 2D anime waifus to life at least in a certain sense/point.
This is also the source of the difference between how audiences react to the girls interacting with guy vtubers or not - if a vtuber is in the mind of the viewer supposed to be modeling an actually-pure 2D girl like from their anime/VNs etc, such girls usually don't just bring random dudes into the picture since they don't know any, or it's established as a romcom series from the start and that isn't an element you just bring into the picture months/years later. It's not proper in the same sense as you'd go "hold up stop" at seeing someone grab a handful of black pepper to chuck into some cake batter mixing. That's just not how it goes.
However if a vtuber in the mind of the viewer is a separated actor and they don't expect a certain formula to be followed to be considered proper, then they just don't care. I'd say these latter types literally don't know what to look for or what they want, it's like going "whatever just bake the cake however you want" trusting that the cook won't fuck it up and knows what she's doing, but since many if not most vtubers aren't actually otaku and don't know anime that well or don't understand what I just outlined, they will fuck it up. The thing is even if they fuck up according to someone with standards, with a big enough audience that won't even matter. Twitch tolerates people doing literally nothing for like 10 hour stretches (sleeping streams etc), do you really expect a literal-zero-standards audience to grow a backbone suddenly? They won't.
