/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

In my opinion, its just due to culture developed over 300 years of trying to disrupt rigid Confucian-like customs wherein love had secondary importance to the other roles a wife fulfilled within the marriage (managing a household). As such, courtesans' – who provided not only sexual enjoyment, but also romantic attachment and artistic entertainment – were seen as both an outlet for men, and common companions.

The rest of the world has no need for Geishas since marriage is assumed to have the woman fulfill all the needs for the man. Or their society has placed less emphasis on marriage so female companionship is casual and expected; no need to make it a commodity.

All GFE accomplishes in the context of vtubers is what a geisha would have done but without the formality, without the physical contact, and at a price within the budget of most lonely Japanese men.
