>>728117>You’re retarded if you think they’ve met in person and still call them by their vtuber-sona lolHaving been a Twitch streamer who not only worked with tons of other streamers, all of whom I met online and then spent months creating content with, including staying at some of those people's houses, sharing hotel rooms with them, and meeting up very regularly at conventions and shit, I can assure you with 100% confidence that almost all content creators do, in fact, refer to one another by their online handle/channel name. Even if you've known the person for years.
It's not just a personal thing, people who've known me for a decade or more still call me by my screen name, just because that's the name they grew to associate with. And after a while, you just grow to associate that as much with yourself as your real name.
So it's basically tacit to assume that most of these girls only ever refer to eachother as their character name, because it functions just as well. They don't lose any personal intimacy or anything, if the person they're calling associates with that name just as much as their real one.
In fact, if your real name is information you absolutely don't want people knowing, then it's only a liability to have it be common parlance. I mean, remember when Noel smashed her keyboard because she used her her nickname in an ASMR stream? Trying to keep THAT shit separate would be more of a nightmare. You run way more of a risk of accidentally letting a personality or mannerism from one slip into the other yourself if you're trying to maintain two distinct names/identities.
