Reactions are the laziest form of entertainment, you are watching someone do something that you did or did not beforehand in order to expect geniune gestures. the problem with vtubers is that it is even more fake than real reactions. Its just plastic shit. the whole point of a reaction is seeing how a person you barely know reacts to something, but in the vtubers case someone manufactures the reaction according to the character they want to give. Keep in mind that fictional characters are given traits like the vtubers, but the whole point of a reaction is the geniune reaction someone has to something. I don't know why people don't see it for what it is, people watching le cute anime grl do le kawai speakiing nihongo XD.

I assume you're talking about this board and in which case the state is that the Touhoufags keep getting cucked and that's the funniest shit on the planet. The hijackers that kept jacking threads ended up having the board jacked by Kantai/Fate/Idol/JAV/mobageniggers and they can't do shit but be complacent
As for the concept of otaku culture. Otakus are in a bad place at the current moment. They're all getting NTR fetishes by the second as Japan's government cracks down on shit like hentai and moves comiket around to try and welcome in gaijins for shit like Olympics. Otaku in Japan are being crushed by the weight of their office jobs while Otaku in the west are being associated with Neo-nazism when they were never meant to be just because some /pol/ memesters used anime profiles when the two mediums of Otakus and Hardcore white supremacists are diametrically opposed

I don't want to start a separate thread for it, this seems like a good place:

does anything similar to western Sonic fandom exist in Japan? Is it similarly autistic?

>> No.21067173

>>21067155
I don't think so. Sonic was more a Sega of America creation historically.
In Japan Sega is known for arcade cabinets. In the west Sega is known for Sonic and the furry menace

I never bothered with getting into the vTubers. I think I watched a video or two a few years ago when I had first heard about them but never got into them, the ones I watched just seemed like short skits. Did they really turn into glorified reaction videos? What's the appeal?

Neo-nazism is heavily in the spotlight with that mass shooting from a couple of weeks ago. Otaku culture has nothing to do with neo-naziism though.

Holy shit you're so misguided. You have no idea what you're talking about. If otakus were truly associated with neo-nazis we wouldn't see anime on netflix. Go to your local community college and see how many weebs with anime stickers you'll find. Most couldn't care less about identity politics.

That's not neo-nazism, even the shooter in his manifesto says he likes jews. Nobody's shaving their heads, tattooing swastikas on their chest and beating up people in the streets. There are no large scale organized group that gets together and whorships hitler. Even on the internet stormfront is a joke.

What you're seeing is a clusterfuck of memes, bored young people looking for an identity, autism and an attempt at pushing back against the percieved threat of "globalism", immigration or "degeneracy" or whatever the fuck /pol/ hates.

This I hate the most. Almost all the other places I visit are plagued with seasonal waifus and everyone forgets about them and moves onto the next one.

It's like they never heard of the classic saying "more than one waifu ruins your laifu"

The amount of people with multiple waifus shot up when it became a normie meme instead of a genuine conviction, and kuso normie youtubers and "memers" made it fashionable to call yourself a weeb with a waifu

It disgusts me how every season there's a "waifu of the season", it's so disrespectful and really shows just far into the gutter the culture went after shitty normies with nothing to do moved in after ruining vidya and comics.

>> No.21090505

It's been in a steady decline for over a decade, but the decline became a nosedive when it became fashionable to be a pretend hikkiNEET wota. Ever since vaporwave and its related culture exploded into the normie mainstream as the "muh aesthetic" bullshit anime and ota culture as a whole caught most of the clueless genz and late millennial mops trying to be edgy and different by very publicly liking things that weren't socially acceptable 25 years ago.

The actual thing died after the flash era of the internet was over. However i stopped giving a shit and i still watch 90s anime and play doujin games. I don't really pay attention to what is currently popular or considered otaku media nowadays. The culture is still available out there to be enjoyed as such.
