Now I understand what she meant. Here's what she said, in full context:

>I mean, if you want me to be real, I'll be real
>we as fauna and saplings, we cannot be friends, or we should not be friends, there's a lot of reasons
>is I think important for boundaries to be maintained
>I am here to entertain you, and that is all really
>and if you can have a good time here then that makes me happy
>*laughs*
>That's if I'm being really real, which maybe, I don't know do you want me to be real? and this goes for every streamer I think
>I don't know, I used to.. really- because I've always liked youtubers and stuff
>And I used to look at youtubers and be like "OMG if only I could be their friend, like I really wish I could be their friend, it would be so cool"
>But as I've gotten older, I've realized like there's nothing particularly special or that amazing that makes the youtuber different from anyone else
>Just because their youtubers doesn't mean they would be good friends to you
>The people you know in real life, your friends, they can be better friends to you than any youtuber can be
>They're just as cool, they have just as many interesting ideas and cool traits about themselves than the youtubers who you admire do
>I think its easy to look at youtubers and then admire them but I promise if you look at your friends through the same lens you will also see the cool things about your friends that makes your friends special too
>youtubers are just normal people, I mean I'm a kirin, keeper of nature but I'm pretty normal, or maybe I'm not I don't know
>but yea, I think I understand cause I used to always watch youtubers and want to be their friends and I think that's normal to some extent
>but its important to keep in mind that I'm just here to stream and hopefully entertain you and make your day better in some way
>I promise its better that way, its better that way, its better that way
>I think you can make a lot of friends online too doing that
>and definitely online friends can be great too, can help you feel not alone, even if they cant be with you in person
>but not streamers? yea I don't recommend trying to befriend streamers
>I mean, I just don't think that's a good idea, I don't know, I just feel that's not going to end well for anybody, if I'm just being honest
>But that shouldn't make you sad, because the best way to enjoy a streamer is to just watch their streams and have fun, you know

I finally understand!
She is kind of "worrying" about her fans so they don't become dependent on streamers or genuinely think of the streamers they watch as real friends, and Fauna is encouraging saplings to cherish their real life friends (if they have rl friends) instead of only forming imaginary friendships with streamers.
I understand her. But that doesn't mean that I agree completely with her.

Because I'm not watching vtubers to get "reality checks", I'm doing just fine, thanks.
I watch vtubers because I want to watch cute anime girls doing cute things. That's all.
I don't want them to "get real" or "be real". And there's nothing wrong with that.
Nor is there anything wrong with "real" streamers, aka fleshtubers. (Although I prefer vtubers)
I think Fauna thinks of her vtuber work and of herself as a "real streamer" with an anime avatar.
And she is thinking in that perspective.
But personally, I don't want to watch that. I personally think that Fauna shouldn't think of vtubing as something as equal as fleshtubing, but, oh well.

That's it. I don't care if this post gets a kajillion of (You)s or none, I just wanted to get it out of my heart.
I don't hate Fauna and I don't harbor any bad feelings towards Fauna.
I'll simply watch other vtubers that are closer to my tastes, that's all.
You (regular anons), won't see a single anti post against Fauna from me.
Have a nice day everyone.
