>>56009788> simpsShould've been a warning call that this was just bait, Fauna shouldn't even have graced it with a response. Also that guy is a known anti.
Anyway, even with that, the fact of the matter is that audiences enjoy chuubas in different ways. It works because of the separation of the chuuba identity from their irl selves, and allows a lot more freedom to the person "playing" Fauna.
Fauna streams quite regularly, and all the time she spends streaming is time that she spends with her fans. Combined, it's a lot more time spent streaming to her fans compared to her irl friends.
This does NOT mean that the fans take precedence over her irl friends, but that streaming for that long does build up a bit of closeness between the chuuba and her audience.
The audience will get to know certain quirks about her that even some of her friends might not know.
The audience will see certain facets of her that she can't show to her irl friends.
The audience will be privy to certain conversations and topics that she might not share with all her friends.
This is similar to how people wear different masks for different friend groups.
But just having that level of understanding is enough for regular people to call each other as "friends".
Obviously this doesn't mean that you start to leech on them or rely on them for literally everything - friendships have different scales too.
But it's still a relationship that exists.
Fauna can deny it all she wants, but as long as her fanbase knows things about her that some of her friends don't, the fanbase is also her friend.
Denying it means that she only thinks of the chuuba-fan relationship as transactional.
She's only telling you this stuff about herself that she's not telling anyone else so that you SC her and buy her merch.
If you aren't her friend, then as the SC implies, you're just a simp for her.
And that realization kinda takes a lot of people out of the entire experience.
