>>64550451People enter these parasocial relationships with expectations based on what the streamer is presenting to the customer. It's a matter of perspective in the end, clearly to you, the chuuba isn't someone you like and care about the relationship status of, but for others it is, and everyone knows this fact otherwise vtubers wouldn't magically all be single compared to the rest of the population, and incidents involving relationships wouldn't be yabs that cause their income and support to drop. Being cucked is the act of being involved with something where you're providing your end of the "deal" (in your mind) but they're not based on your understanding of it. And it's not like this isn't just in their schizo heads, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding that shit in the first place and feel guilt, avoid such things in general, and outright acknowledge unicorns and gachikoi. This issue has already been dealt with countless times with real idols. It's a little late to be like "oh wow, how can you be supporting someone because you like them" when gachikoi is a well-known thing and the entire topic has been discussed and understood by everyone who isn't a complete newfag. You're either pandering to them or you're not, and basically nobody goes for the latter, arguably not even male collabers if they never mention they're actually in a relationship.
