/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>black vtubers can't be successful because everyone is racist
Retards desu. Main issue with most 'black vtubers' is two things, and none of them have anything to do with if someone is being racist or prejudiced against them.
>Good design
Lots of black vtuber avatars look like a fucking mess. Majority of people seem to think that simply palette swapping the skin tone is good enough, but that simply isn't the case. Black anime characters need to be designed with the skin colour in mind, not as a side thought, since it deviates from the standard and greatly alters how colours pop out on them. It's not impossible for them to have good designs (see Nessa, Nagoriyuki, Miruko), but since it takes more effort, indies aren't taking that into account and are just slapping whatever on their avatars.
>Interesting personality
As is the problem with a majority of western vtubers, most black vtubers simply don't have a very interesting personality. Sometimes this also results in them just playing into the fact they are 'black', and falling onto stereotypes for cheap, low hanging laughs and clip baiting. 'Being black' isn't a real personality, and it turns people away who don't give a shit about that kind of stuff and just want to see you play games or be entertaining.

"Black" vtubers share a lot of the same problem as other western vtubers, in that a majority of them don't have any real talents, don't have a good design, aren't interesting or are just riding a trend instead of doing something they are passionate about. It has nothing to do with race, as much as some people want to pretend it is.

They can do well, and a 'black' vtuber can succeed, but only if the person behind it is able to overcome the common issues shared with a majority of western vtubers. Then, instead of being just a good 'black vtuber', they can be something actually more worth something, which is to be good 'western vtuber', cause fuck knows we don't have a lot of them.
