>>5521923no. I didn't know what vtubers were (I thought Kizuna AI was a vocaloid like Miku)
It was my 10yo daughter who introduced me to Gura (actually introduced my wife to Gura). They apparently watched a bunch of her streams that afternoon and my wife was an instant chumbud. I was skeptical and avoided it, I knew 4ch from before i was married (used to be a full time denizin of /a/ back when m00t ran things and liked to ban anyone who badmouthed PlanetES).
Anyway long story short, I was now aware of vtubers, and stumbled upon the Korone "have/no confidence" meme. looked up some clips of korone, and died laughing at the all english mario run she did. Then I looked up this shark girl my little girl was into, and got hooked on her cover of Fly me to the Moon; welp, now we are mostly a full family of shrimps. all 3 of us enjoy watching gura. and she brought me back to these boards for the first time in years.
