>>61170087Let me set this shit straight:
You can be a parasocial anti, but first you need to be actually entertaining without ever using the crutch of being a woman on the internet. From there, the first move should always be ignoring behavior you don't want, and positively reinforcing behavior you do want. If for whatever reason that just isn't working and the genuine autists keep prodding the boundary and being deeply annoying, it's fine to have "the talk" about it, as long as there is absolutely no toxic, self-righteous bullshit. Regardless of you being retarded about thinking you're not parasocial just because you shirk full on GFE, the majority of your audience that will ever actually watch your streams and support you financially are going to be lonely men, who despite whatever they may initially say in support openly of your retarded belief, are still there because they *like you.* The vast majority know you aren't their actual girlfriend, even if you do actual full on GFE, and assuming you aren't doing extremely inadvisable shit like interacting directly with them on discord or something, they're not going to be operating under the serious pretense that they can change that one day. You are escapism, end of story, and the only thing accomplished by having an "improve yourselves" moment about it, because you let yourself get One Guy'd, is bitterly reminding those people about what waits for them off the screen.
As for the specific subject of having a partner and particularly about being upfront of such, it is important to always understand that people knowing that is ALWAYS going to be a hard debuff. But sure, if that's fine with you and you believe it's right, be upfront, and be aware that the more you bring them up, the worse the debuff is going to become.
That said, I do not believe there is any strong moral compulsion to not keep it a secret. There are only 2 groups of people that are going to even be actively trying to look behind the curtain in the first place; groomers that YOU have foolishly enabled to some degree, and antis (forma de dramafag or failed groomer). If they suss out a bf it'll inevitably make its way to the rest of the fanbase, and make no mistake no one is going to be "happy" about it, and some genuine unicorns are going to be butthurt enough to stop watching and possibly leave a mean message on the way out, but the vast majority are going to suck it up and forget about it, at least as much as antis and cuckposters here will permit them to. As long as you otherwise aren't actively fucking the escapism up, people will be happy. It'll be harder to make new fans obviously from there on, but whatever.
Notice also that not once did I use the word schizo. Despite the fact that their existence plays such a big factor in these discussions and the decisions made therein, very few genuine schizos exist. You being pro or anti parasocial or openly having a boyfriend or what the fuck ever, has little to no effect on whether you personally lose the schizo dice roll. Dodger, Sweet Anita, and especially Meg Turney are all among the most notable schizo cases in the western woman streaming, and none of them were pretending to be anyone's girlfriend. It is a pure numbers game that comes with being famous.
Addendums because this wasn't long enough: Everything I said also applies to homocollabs, although it should never be forgotten that male vtubers are obnoxious sexpests, also applies to the inverse of genders albeit not as equally, and it should never be forgotten that most of the people here in schizo unicorn central throwing around extremist opinions are falseflaggers and shitposters.
