People seem to forget the reason vtubing is so entertaining, is the V part. Virtual.
Instead of being boring ass normal people, they are talents who have to play the characters and live improv story, instead of boring ass life events being retold.
Just Gura being a shark girl, gives her massive meme virality. Anytime something anime, and shark related pops up, shes there being spread like an inside joke.
Any time a flat joke is made, someone will link rushia clips like 'lol this anime girl hates small tit jokes', all because the model given to the woman who is behind puppeteering rushia, is flat chested.
Half the jokes wouldnt work were it not for the character, lore and features of the virtual avatars they puppeteer.
Everybody cares about lore.
Everybody. It all ties in the the virtual universe they supposedly inhabit.
Once the immersion is lost, the sense that there is a massive work of literature and references built in this community of virtual livestreaming roleplayers, it becomes useless.
girls not caring about lore, not referencing their virtual characters, all seems futile and excessive, and cumbersome to tag along.
It is HOLOLIVES defining characteristic, that they tried and leaned so hard on playing these characters, and its where the spark, the passion, the intrigue of being inside this circle.
It all starts with LORE. so shut the fuck up.
