>>59061953Roberu, the Idea vs. Roberu, the Man
Everyone knows Roberu is cool as fuck. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he does outside collabs? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mystical (nonexistent?) Dr Pepper? Perchance.
I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Roberu exhibits experience by doing weird streams all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "あああああ, 夕刻ロベルです!” Keep it up, baby!
When Roberu leaves his place of safety to stream a horror kusogame, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase figurines with money, a figurine becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Roberu as a vtuber, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance.
