Example: The post itself, a blue haired wolf/fox/dog whateverthefuck. By itself it looks like a 14 year olds bad attempt at an OC with a dash of "Self-insert" syndrome & a punchable looking face.
VTuber designs being obnoxious garbage #1, shitty stock anime songs, dry af personas, oversaturated/ formulaic business model in which the main resource is males being basic products of the times, not a new concept, but still depressing.
I've seen some VTwerps look like demon lords or something, horns n shit, ALL THAT just to watch videos & play games, extra as hell.
This is some shit I'd expect out of 13 year old girls, not grown ass women who should be adjusted by now. Painfully unattractive generations. Real women look too gross to be loved, so the internet made VTubers a thing.
POV: **Wear digital cosplay; now you matter**
Regressive.
Red flag #1-3
**tldr, not a fan.**
**They're not DeviantArt Fetishist levels of #Parenthoodfail, I'll give average VTubers that much, some of em ain't *THAT* bad--- still annoying.**
If a Vtuber gained a following singing her ass off on decent acapella or something/or being in the %1 of competitive PVP/pro speedrunner/ or could solve advanced algebra equations on a timer for her stream/ master chess player, just having a gift or something That's different.
Or there was a VTuber meta where to be a VTuber you had to be really good at something within an avi, at that point I'd stomach the avi crap, and hop aboard just to see what's up.
This way they gatekeep the brand from being crowded; having a talent besides running your virtual mouth & *uwu quirky* and that's the core of the "content" because schtick formula.
**What I dislike is VTwerps being a Dollar Store version of a Content Creator,** appealing to the lowest or youngest common denominator & rewarded for the less than the bare minimum.
Standing out so much, pushed so hard, yet providing so little despite doing the most for no reason, or more accurately---
**"Realtime WAIFU SIMULATOR aka average VTuber",** males having easy access to female parasocial companionship without having to work for a real one. Not all VTubers are female; majority are female (big shock), In contrast the majority audience are male 15-30yr (big flipping shock)
# Otherwise, I can just watch anime for that same waifu simulator bullshit, at least then I'll get an equally scripted personality character with better line delivery from an actress who actually knows what the fuck she's doing. And I've stopped doing even that almost 20 yrs ago. So I'm not giving some hack NPC, a grownass woman wearing digital cosplay calling herself a "VTuber" any donos or my attention for her doing her best impression of what she/they thinks is an interesting person; Apparently this is what they gotta do to get anyone to give a shit, cause they themselves as people isn't good enough. Hence the popularity of VTubers: *Not cause of phenomenal content but Male devotion, predictable proletariate behavior.*
On one hand though, I'm sure they're having fun building the brand & embodying whatever it is they think they're going for, taste be damned--- have fun you cringey snots. **Cause there's much worse cringe & unbridled garbage being pumped out here worth actual hate than VTubers playing video games or dropping an occasional fest or album.**
where VTurds are tolerable is when they're caught off guard or frustrated & you can somewhat see a real authentic reaction through their stupid avi and or they shut the hell up & in reality the actual entertainment of a Vtuber space- Is really the chat ngl, no different from most streamers.
(the only Vtuber to genuinely not piss me off by virtue of being in my line of sight is sakura miko's reaction to that GTA V Lamar roasts Franklin cutscene. The avi was cringe ofc but the womans vocal reaction saying "N*99a" in a musical note was funny. Wish i could've seen her face when she said it)
**On the other hand, say what you want about Youtube Reactors & some Twitch streamers' politics, but If it's gonna be parasocial? Do me the respect of not wearing a weeb mask on top of the already fake ass persona act and then think a fabricated backstory & tropey, cutie, kawaii, or mysterious, sensual, smug, abrasive or whatever anime cliche you adopt as a theatricality, pasted on some corny lore attached to an anime girl profile, thinking that makes it a better look.**
As if being a mystical, shy immortal owl huntress turned pop idol from Dimension X with a peanut allergy or whatever they think sells to an audience for some years is gonna stick----
*Or however long these goofballs choose to keep that shit up, cause some of them do "retire" & walk away. Almost as if the gig was a joke to begin with & being a weeb mascot for teenage boys (main demo) isn't something to write home to mommy and daddy*
Way too many adults comfortable doing teenager shit nowadays, it's pitiful, the parasocial nature of it is concerning especially with how young the demographics can be and *yet I can 100% see why kids would buy it; current gen will watch anything or anyone that doesn't know when to shut the hell up, colorful, looks anime+female = average VTuber = business model to exploit*
watching a cropped avi sit there & make the same 2-3 expressions, jerk around making noises as if demonically possessed err i mean "being funny", ain't quirky, concerning.
The best thing about VTwerps is the side gig attempts, I can somewhat respect some of em for tryna expand the brand, with songs, art & other side quests even if it's mid or straight whack.
VTubers translate better in highlights but even then it's just hearing a humans telegraphed voice coming out of the **humanoid equivalent of visual vomit** trying it's best to emulate an interesting person. Even if it looked like peak pixar model, still bad.
VTuber is no longer a niche for a small clan, it's an exploitation of a loneliness market (not the only one either), it fell off cause they're doing too much. VTubers are not exact clones of each other but they are variants, all disposable, as fake as a botox; *could be worse but painfully oversaturated & infantile.*
So when Youtube shows me or insists on recommending me another stock demon chic/ green/blue haired VTard chump or some toddler looking little loli bastard and the title has "VTUBER REACTS"--- Yeah imma get slightly agitated at that point especially when "not interested" ain't working and the videos are under "FOR YOU" tab.
Then it makes me wonder if the algorithm truly thinks anyone & I MEAN ANYONE that watches anime (even if it's like 3 times in a year) really is that basic / & or desperate.
Otherwise I can ignore em as long as they stay outta my way, generously.
I just as much don't want VTubers shoved down my throat any more than I would politics or religion, deadass.
