>>94784987I know this is a bait thread and that tweet is from a tourist who joined the so-called "vtubing culture" in 2022.
If you show your face, you're no longer a vtuber, you're a fleshtuber who happens to be a vtuber.
If you have an entirely separate account where you show your face (like a cosplayer) and you NEVER make connections to your vtuber accounts, then it's fine.
Also
>being open about having a partnerThat shit was always here even in the early days of vtubing, it just so happens that the vtubers that choose to not be public about it... you know, they want to have a private life.
>keeping the parasocialness in check"Parasocialness" has existed since the times of Arthur Conan Doyle writing about Sherlock Holmes, it has existed when the Beatles were a thing, they exist in the time of online streaming, and they will continue to exist in the future. Schizos are going to be schizos no matter how much you say "you're not my friend".
The indie scene is fucked.
