>>67760224There's a balance to be had IMO where you know you still just genuinely want the CGDCT content, but you also don't have unrealistic expectations either and basically keep yourself at arm's length from getting too gachikoi/simp orbiter mode for any chuuba.
Basically, be oshiless, be extremely hesitant to give out money or excessive praise or stick your neck out white knighting anyone. Because what you are doing is acting in the stead of a presented acted character. The vtuber persona you see might be somewhat accurate to the real person but it also might be like simping for Mickey Mouse and getting real angry defending his honor if it gets slandered. Yeah don't do that. You don't know which ones are which and that's fine. If you don't get too invested, you won't get hurt, and as OP implies, basically disappointment is fucking inevitable so the best course of action is to not let yourself care enough that the disappointment would bite too hard or make you have deep regret spending too much energy/money on the person.
