Bratty Kyomie get over here I will give you correction!!!!!!

I’ve seen people here genuinely talk about wanting to become a corpo VTuber just to get fujo money because you’re finally seeing how powerful female fans can actually be, but it’s not as easy as it looks if you want to capture a big audience and big money. /vt/ seriously has no idea how fujos work, so I’m here to provide some actual advice. Before you read on, I’ll let you know it takes a lot of tolerance, research, practice, and hard work. If you’re not up to putting in the work to surpass what Vox (and even the rest of Luxiem) can do, then this thread isn’t for you. You don’t even have to do fujobaiting, pandering, or any gimmicks to pull it off. You just need to put in the work. This goes for no matter which company you’re applying to.

If you wish to fujobait:
Do research on what tropes fujoshi like. Simple BL terms, culture, and popular personality types. Be subtle about it and don’t force it; the longer you drag it out, the more tension it creates and keeps people looking forward to more. Unintentional fujobait can happen as well (see: Luca). Talk a lot with your genmates/wavemates you get along with to establish a “ship”. If he’s comfortable fujobaiting, then continue to lightly flirt with him. If he’s not, just talk to him like a regular friend and fujos will still ship you anyway. It leads to fan art which leads to more people being exposed to who you are which leads to your growth for both you and your bro. Here are some key terms and explanations that can help you get started. You don’t need to memorize these, they’re just to help you get familiar with the culture (ignore all the queer uwu and pride flag western shit): https://futekiya.com/tag/fu-pedia/

If you do not wish to fujobait:
Look at some reverse harem anime. You don’t need to watch entire seasons, you can watch some compilation clips to see the different personality types. You can choose a personality you think you can pull off, but if it’s just an act you have to force, it may or may not work for you. If you feel you can only keep up a personality sometimes and your “real self” comes out, that’s called “gap-moe” and we love that. Some notable reverse harem to use as reference material are Ouran High School Host Club and Uta No Prince-Sama. You can still talk to your fellow male coworkers and get along with them without having to fujobait and you’ll get lots of money through collabs.

Other advice regardless of the route you wish to take:
•Practice your speaking skills. Vox isn’t carried by his deep voice alone, he talks very smoothly and barely stutters so he has probably had some public speaking experience. If you do stutter that can be cute too, especially if you have a soft voice, but it can get a bit displeasing to hear if it happens too often *cough* Ike
•Talk about things you love. Women love hearing men talk about their interests, no matter how dumb you may think it is. Vox talks about a nearly 10 year old game about possessed animatronics, I’m sure whatever you’re into is fine too. If you sound happy talking about it, talk about it.
•Despite what you’ve been told, we really are attracted more to your personality than your looks. Just be yourself, even if you have dark humor, there will be an audience for you (see: Fulgur and sometimes, Sonny).

In the end, just be yourself and have fun, and people will come along. Good luck to those applying to either Niji or Holo, and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask me!
