/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Depends a lot on your target audience, but mostly it wont affect your viewership unless you do it constantly.

The important part however is the demoralizing effect it has on your fanbase. Every child wants to be mama's favorite, and you made your choice. If the only way to be your equal is to become a male vtuber, they will stop donating or making art for you and they will start working on their vroid instead. This is in fact the reason why this thread is in its current state.
A gosling on a chuuba mask is still a parasocial, you solved nothing, you changed nothing, you just gave them the tools to act on their fantasies.

Now you have dedicated gachis who owould spend hours working on clips for you working on their own streams instead. They will now also feel entitled to "collabs" and any respect they have for the chuuba private life/ public life barrier disappears and might even arrange "vtuber" meet ups to go physical.
In lig and in corpos the barrier is clear, being a male 0view grants no advantage, so they turn to art and OC and more or less accept the idea they will never date their vtubers anyway.
Here they become male vtubers and pray for the best.
Now of course this have a second, even more tragic consequence: dreams must remain dreams for a reason. Humans are 90% looks. Many a time someone has been ghosted after revealing their facepics. The awakening is rough. Sometimes people forget their anime face isn't their real face.
Keeping said barriers is also important for your own sake, reality, just as people, can be very ugly.
