while a massive part of Japan/SEA interacts with anime and thus with offshoots of anime culture (that vTubers belong to), it's still way less present in western countries (even if it became much, much closer to mainstream in recent years)
that means that overall the subs, even if higher in numbers are much, much less centralized, because they're a small percentage of a small percentage of every timezone's population
