I wish anons here weren't so retarded about drama in other threads
>are there real menhera Ruffians
yes
>is the drama manufactured
also yes
both are true
you just haven't ealized that you are staring at a GFE heavy fanbase from predominantly the outside looking in
That or you do know but don't know what that actually means
Remember this:
>GFE has a lot of antis
>Unicorn friendly holos have a lot
>Holo has a lot of antis
>Vtubers have a lot of antis
BUT
>GFE fanbases are inherently very volatile
>There WILL be menhera fans who will schizo out
>Generally, GFE vtubers who are equally parasocial WANT to keep those schizos(this point will be lost on people most often, as without ever experiencing it deeply it's apparently hard for people to understand why this is why it is)
Add the top two together and what do you get?
>instances of the usual fully manufacturered drama moments everybody knows
But also,
>instances of ACTUAL menhera fans getting menhera over something
What do you think happens in the latter?
Antis start to jump in
The "smarter" ones will try to imitate the actual menheras
>How do you tell the difference?
By
1) Being embedded deeply enough within the fanbase to be able to hear the roots of actual complaints before they blow up(and thus know when something that blows up is based on a pre-existing worry seen in the fanbase)
2) Being /here/ long enough and having an adequate understanding of the situation going on in various threads as well as board wide. This means you need to be not autistic and also spend way too much time simply observing the ebb and flow of threads
>how to respond for dummies who can't filter the real fans going schizo out from the anti posts
Tip 1: the dumbest antis will ALWAYS be dumb, they can't even imitate a menhera fan. They often cuckpost brainlessly. Report and call these out at your leisure
Tip 2(mildly complex): Posts which focus on things that are emotionally irrelevant and dig into nitty gritty technical definitions without any relent and a 'goading' or 'superior' tone are VERY likely to be antis; that is because a menhera fan is fueled by emotional overload. They are not going to dig into super specific details like, for example,
>was the mic they use 6 months ago technically a binaural mic?????
it doesn't make sense to focus on a detail like that when in an emotionally tumultuous state.
Tip 3: If you CAN'T tell the difference, do not poke what might be a menhera fan. You can't help them if you can't tell and will need an adequately aware other fan to calm them down, or they will need time/their oshi addressing the issue
What can make them worse is the brain dead cuckposting, which IS easy to see: so focusing on shitting on those posts is an easy way to push back against the flood of psyop cuckposting designed to weaken the hearts of the already menhera
t. I stalk every GFE fanbase on this board because I hate GFE antis and trying to outmanuever them is more delicate and difficult to do than the usual antis we can usually browbeat without worry, since with GFE fanbases there is a very real chance of potential fanbase collateral if you end up targeting menhera fans instead of antis(you can even end up doing the antis work for them if you aren't careful)
