>>89508473The point is, Fauna took the question too literal. Saplings know they're literally not her friends and never can be, but she completely dismissed the idea that you can see your fanbase as a friend (as an entity). That's what makes it offensive. She basically wants to be seen a fleshy and ever since this woman moment, she's increasingly detached herself from the parasocial aspect of vtubing and has become Northernlion with tits.
You have to remember that this woman for 2 YEARS at that point was frequently making very intimate and caring ASMR, whispering into her fans' ears, comforting them like a friend would. Yapping away every stream...like a friend. Doing everything which builds a parasocial relationship and that's GOOD. She knows saplings are lonely pathetic and ugly faggots for she saw them irl many times. Her job is to larp as a desirable waifu and she was too stuck-up to even do that. She's like Suisei in a way and thinks she's above the medium and platform that built her, but unlike Suisei she has literally no notable talents or skills.
No EN in hololive has EVER said anything like this so it's clearly not a good thing to say for they all would have said it by now.
