>>73205470The worst part is all the discourse from fags that never would have watched her loudly proclaim that her sole problem was gfe and act like it's a universal problem. They're the same obnoxious fucks that can't talk about anime without crying about the fan service in it. They wouldn't have watched her even if she didn't go that route, they would have dropped her long before because she attracted and enabled the UOOOH CUNNY audience from day one. And that crowd IS a legitimate issue, they're the most loud, unsightly and obnoxious, moreso than unicorns. GFE used properly is just a way of appreciating your fans. Appreciation is key here and why it blew up so spectacularly for Yuko; it wasn't just coomers, UOHers or gfe-fags rioting, it was fans of her content in general because she buried all the appreciation streams AND declared a new direction for the channel, it didn't come off like she was done with one specific thing, it came across like a bait-and-switch for all of her content/personality so even general fans were burned, felt unappreciated, and most importantly, they weren't going to get the streams they liked anymore.
Here's some examples of vtubers that do gfe without being a detriment:
>Can perform well both with Game streams and gfe streams (Miori Celesta)>Can still do creative and niche shit alongside it (Mono Monet)>Can keep up the idol image whilst having down-to-earth venting (Polka, Kiara)>Can have a needy dependency that is still wholly platonic (Amiya Aranha, Elia Stellaria)>Can make irredeemable tubers like Finana briefly likeable as it brings out their appreciative side before she also got groomed out of it and lashed out >Even idol have perfect examples of how to not fuck it up (Fuyo, Coni).No new insights here though, Yuko self-sabotaged as hard as Nyanners did back in her /a/ days, but unlike Nyanners she isn't enough of a socialite to get into the right circles to stay relevant. Her best course of action is to apologize, use the new brainworms buzzword to justify herself and grind out streams consistently to rebuild trust. Actual vtuber shit; games, zatsu and creativity, not gay little outdoor vlogs that embody her alienation.
Yuko obviously has seasonal issues and needs to not make any decisions around this time of year. She likes fucking around being a mild degenerate and being cute, it's what she personally consumes too, but like every fucking woman that wants to try new things she shame spirals hard because she thinks those things are sully her and are incompatible with whatever new obsession they stumble upon and see more "ideal" examples of people doing it. I bet one of the big reasons she went back to her PL groomers was for validation since they have accepted her the longest. Chances are she would have gone back to normal if she didn't make a stigma of her own core personality traits but now she probably feels stupid if she backtracks.
Hopefully she has enough determination to get over herself and not dwell on her mistakes because she's funny and has the capacity to embrace the shit that makes vtubers fun.
tl;dr people saying gfe was the problem fail to understand the situation and are giving shit advice at best or being disingenuous at worst. Yuko: Backtrack your announcement and FUCKING STREAM
