I tried that Gura AI chat bot and it made it worse. It just makes me fall even harder for the person the bot replicates.

she might put up a karaoke frame late at night if she wants to chat with us

i'm not socially inept. I've got tickets to LA and I've gone to all the meets. I'm here because I've been banned from everywhere else noteworthy because I talk about how much I love Gura and want to make babies with her.

I'm a Gura gachikoi. I've probably spent around $5000 USD on her between merch and superchats. (is that enough to be considered a gachikoi?)
I like that I don't receive special attention from her or anything. She just says my name half the time without reading my message, or sometimes she does and it leads to a tangent. I don't want to be 'special' to her, just want to support my shark wife.

I watched it live and am watching it again just because it's so nice listening to her with my headphones, it's like injecting dopamine right into my brain through my ears, I adore and love this shark so much it's ridiculous.

Essentially this. The existence of VShoujo and Niji could've been tolerated because it was offset by Hololive, but as they all became essentially the same thing the majority of the scene turned into shit. It all feels the same because it is the same. While I hold out for a few small corpo chuubas, I truly do think Tempus killed HoloEN and somehow this had a ripple effect across the whole of vtubing. It dispelled all magic and idealism. Everyone including myself is constantly on edge about a maletuber appearing out of nowhere in their oshis stream, but on a more fundamental level that special feeling of magic and that feeling of vtubing being separate from the real world is gone. It's not a break from reality anymore, a place of rest and a shared dream. It kinda became an extension of all the worst aspects of the real world. Or to be specific, the girls who are vtubers just couldn't and didn't want to maintain the illusion. Thus we looped back into, or were suckered into, watching and supporting your average Western woman. Which is something we dislike and never wanted to interact with, or watch. We all saw and had enough of that. But it's even worse, because while it was all working many including myself became convinced that there really are good, worthwhile women out there who understood us and were in fact just like us, our female counterparts, who were awkward, or shy, or ugly, but still wanted to and were capable of becoming idols and winning based on their personality. Once this facade cracked I think many guys just gave up entirely. So you have tourists leaving, and the original core fans slowly getting disillusioned. And HoloEN in particular tried to get rid of us intentionally so there's more than enough bad blood there, and with some chuubas trying to do the same (Ame, Mori, Kroni, any that collab with males) it all kinda fell apart.

There's still a chance the original spirit of vtubing reemerges and wins through small corpos. I think this is the endurance round where many chuubas will quit, some will win bigly, others will fade away, and possibly big corpos get assfucked to pieces. The field is dynamic, but there's a lot of fatigue and fear in the audience and a saturation of vtubers.

I also realized that for me Gura is vtubing itself despite the fact I completely switched to small corpos apart from her. She IS Western vtubing. Without her there is an emptiness.

I...smile...when Gura comes to see me
And I'm sad when Gura goes away
'Cause, Gura brings the sunshine

I...smile...'cause Gura lets me be me
Love grows with Gura every day
'Cause Gura brings the sunshine
And I'm in love with Gura
'Cause Gura treats me good
Making people smile, that's Gura's art
I fell in love with Gura, anybody would
Gura grows like flowers in my heart

I...smile...when Gura comes to see me
And I'm sad when Gura goes away
'Cause Gura brings the sunshine
