/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>17201130
My siblings have similar interests and have sent my vtuber clips unprompted, so yes.

>>17201130
My parents dislike Gura's music and hates Calli's but my wife and baby loves them.

>>17201130
Me and my friends dress up really nice and go to random peoples houses and ask if we can come in to talk to them about vtubers.

>>17201130
My brother teases me over it but he did the same about anime and now he can't stop watching anime

>>17201130
Absolutely not. But not because vtubers are anything special, I learned from a young age to keep my real-life and my online separate and I don't mix them. One of the biggest factors in why I hate humans is because they can't keep these things separate.

>>17201130
Talked to them about vtubers and then what? Getting told why I still watch cartoons despite me being 30 years old already, and why I still don't have a job nor a girlfriend?

My friends. They are into anime and watch livestreamers but they go all NPC when I mention vtubers, so I stopped. The only time any of them ever initiated conversation about vtubers was when one posted video of that Chinese vtuber and her black slave.

>>17201481
that would be fun for halloween ngl

>>17201505
got his ass

>>17201633
are you not also a human, anon

>>17201130
Not at length, but they know I'm into them. I'm not autistic so I don't go on unprompted about interests that I don't have in common with the people I talk to.

showing them streams on a switch??

>>17201130
I avoid even bringing up things like anime, vtubers would definitely be a no go. I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of cringe, I will never be the source of cringe to someone else I know

>>17202094
I've seen that post before and it was originally shared by someone who was showing their family animal crossing or pokemon or something.

>>17202183
it was pokemon

>>17201456
>baby likes Gura
many such cases

>>17201130
Yeah, I told my cousin about the Coco graduation and told him I was sad about it, he called me pathetic a few months after it, looking back at it.. he is right.

>>17201481
nice

>>17201130
I have only shown my younger brother, whose 16. he calls me a fag for liking it. am 21 btw, if that's any indicator.

>>17202140
some of the youngest zoomers are openly into being cringe as a sort of dgaf attitude, post self aware kind of a thing

>>17202404
demand repsect my friend, he's 16, he's wrong by default

Do you not talk about your hobbies? You dont have to rant autistically but why wouldnt you bring up things you like when the subject comes up? Do you have some sort of pathetic fear that they wont like it too? Are you a coward Anon?

>>17201130
my big brother is someone I can comfortably talk with so yes.
also my friend (I'm Indog for context) actually applied to an indie local vtuber agency and literally almost got in (in the very final round of the "cullings" in the selection process), I think she was top 5 and the agency only wanted to debut 3. she lost on the fact that her PC is not "good enough". she never had any streaming experience before. we talked a bit, mainly because she knows I'm a vtuber fan and she was asking for advice. in the end she decided to focus on other things for now.

Both my parents knows all their 4 children are on weeb shit so it's normal. Helps a lot that they grew with Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Ball and Speed Racer. So if they see any vtuber on the TV, they just don't care. That said, we do try to hide the ones with revealing design like Mel and Choco.

My mom took a liking to Gura though. Says she is funny and endearing even though she doesn't understand english for shit.

>>17202514
I mean of they ask me what I'm into right now I tell them, but like every hobby it's not something you need more than a few sentences to expound unless someone else shares the interest.

>>17202514
a lot of people on this site are genuinely paranoid about this stuff, especially for bad past experiences, I was like that too before finding good friends

>>17201965
Not really.

>>17202267
Yeah, I'm glad I don't have to play those shitty YouTube kids songs on the house. My wife keeps on insisting on using them but fuck that. She only loves Gura's music since it calms our baby.

>>17201130
Different topics for different circles.

>>17202730
>they grew with Captain Tsubasa, Dragon Ball and Speed Racer.
a fellow italian, by any chance?

No. If someone brought them up I would pretend to be confused about them talking about vacuum tubes all of a sudden.

>>17202267

>>17202859
unless you're a machine learning algorithm that posts on 4chan you probably are, and life will only get harder for you the longer you attempt to deny that about yourself.

>>17202960

Sadly no, I'm a latinolander.

>>17201130
why are ledditors like this?

>>17201130
They intend to throw me out of the home after threatening to disown me, anon, because french old bastards don't want to know anything but their own petty and shitty overrated culture.

>>17203064
eh, unironically close enough

>>17202859
Non-humans are not allowed to post on 4chan.

>>17202514
You zoomers just can't understand the pain of wanting to share your hobby or interest with someone and just realizing they can't even understand enough to get their foot in-the-door. You end up having to try and sell them on the entry-level shit just to explain to them what you're into and then if you manage to pull that off, you have to explain you hate all that entry-level shit and you're much further down the rabbit hole. Everyone thought I was bizarre growing up just for spending time online while they couldn't even use Microsoft Word. I've watched basically everything I loved as a teenager that I was ostracized for be later embraced and made mainstream by a new generation of people who have never known what it's like to be bullied.

I have a vtuber tapestry in my bedroom and my parents asked about it, and I said he was a singer and they just shrugged and didn't ask anything else. My brother is aware and doesn't mind either.

>>17201130
Every normalfag has seen Korone and Pekora so yes i've talked about them with my friends

>>17203056
Well, it depends on my mood. I know I'm not whatever everything else that's classified as human is. Sometimes I think I'm the human and they are the bugs and sometimes I think they are the humans and I am the extraterrestrial. Separating myself from them was the best thing that ever happened to me. As downhill as its gone over the years, a place like this every now and then allows me to accidentally encounter another one of whatever I am so it's done me more good than any interaction with humans.

>>17203346
>rabbit hole
Other than that, one of the better posts I've read lately, but that isn't saying much given recent board activity

>>17203586
I know this is gonna come across as a bug trying to you down to its level, but that is a decidedly human experience anon. the other people you are encountering that you feel like are on the same level as you are also humans. you have more in common with the untermenschen than you may care to admit.
I think you're capable of meeting someone in the real world on the same level as you. just my two cents.

>>17201130
I don't even trust my parents to not make fun of me for liking anime, let alone vtubers

>>17201130
My dad is a bigger weeb than me so I tell him about some of the funnier dramas sometimes, like the Sio... arc and the Taiwan yab.

>>17203682
It's that really so, anon? I felt that was a pretty common shared feeling, what with the natural progression of things all considered. I had the exact same feeling when video games went mainstream years ago, and then it repeated itself a few more times with different things, to the point now I don't even remember when I stopped giving a flying fuck about it.

Screw normies I guess.

>>17201130
>that look of disgust
They regret not disowning him sooner.

>>17204601
the next level is realizing that the "screw normies" mindset is itself a stratum of normiedom.

>>17203346

I did. I was playing Final Fantasy games without numbers when everyone else was squashing things with their butts in Platformers. Later Final Fantasy 6 got recycled with the same plot pong block graphics and an advertising campaign backed by Yaoi Sephiroth dojins and it sucked. I didnt let it get to me though and I didnt become traumatized by it

>>17203956
In theory meeting such an individual would have been possible earlier in my life, but the amount of trial and error required was too exhausting. And truthfully, while statistically it's almost certain there is another entity like me out there, it's virtually impossible I could ever find them. I think what a place like this allows me to experience is some of the rare moments the untermenschen break free from their routine and say things I can understand and then they go back to how they were before. If I had to spend time with them in physical space I would be forced to witness the uncanny valley and be so repulsed by it any positive feelings I had towards the individual would be negated.

>>17201130
Friends yes, family no, but they know I watch Japanese livestreamers so close enough

>>17201752
>They are into anime and watch livestreamers but they go all NPC when I mention vtubers
Literally this. One of them told me "I can't comprehend that there's a real person behind the avatar", like mate it's not that tough

>>17204719
I wasn't traumatized by it, I just stopped bothering trying to explain anything to anyone because it was never worth it. They just won't get it. And seeing everyone superficially embrace all the stuff they once mocked when I was into it made me uninterested in their views on their interests too. Plus, they all like the same shit, there's only so many times you can pretend to care hearing about the same thing you've already wrung dry for all its value. The conversations are one-sided because you are polite enough to listen to them talk about their shit because you understand their hobby more than they do but you won't tell them about your hobby because it's impolite to confuse them.

>>17201130
no, as a functioning adult male with normal levels of testosterone and an active social life, watching a vtuber is a secret I will take to my grave.

I pity anyone who thinks it would be a good idea to share the fact that they spend their free time watching grown women badly play video games whilst pretending to be japanese cartoon characters. This stuff is repulsive to a normal person, and concealing power levels is a thing for a reason. The vast majority of anime-ajacent fans I've talked to irl seem to belong to the casual and ironic weeb demographics, and there's no way I'd want to hear "WAOW THAT WAS SO WHOLESOME, MY CUTE GOOFBALL SAID THE THING, DID TIKTOK MEME, SUUGOOOIII" in person. The vocal hololive fans remind me of 2013-era bronies who would parade their MLP toys around the high school classroom and try to convince people that it was normal.

>>17204949
well, the way that I go about my life I truly try to give everyone I meet the benefit of the doubt. I promise that there are people like you and I out there and that it isn't even terribly unlikely that you'll meet one of them if you put yourself out there.
I know it's easy for me to say these things to you because I haven't walked a mile in your shoes, but a lot of us have been beaten down just as you have. I would really implore you to get out there and find your people. anonymous, faceless interaction can only sate your human needs for so long. I know that you're capable of finding your place away from the screen, but I won't lie to you and tell you that it won't require time and hard work on your part to find it.

>>17201130
i tried to talk about them with my cousin because my uncle told me that he was a weeb and wanted someone to talk about anime stuff but turns out he was an ironic cringy tiktok fag and called them weird "bruh how can someone can pretend to be an anime girl that's messed up fr man".

>>17201130
Yes, my family ignored the topic. Half of my friends are also into vtubers.

>>17201130
No but my cousin watches Trash Taste FML

I’m from the era when hiding your power level was still a thing. Most of my friends and coworker saved for a few don’t even know I watch anime, much less vtuber like Korosan or Lamy.

>>17206020
Exactly. I have more respect for the 50-year old Japanese salarymen waving glowstick emotes and saying kawaii in Laplus streams and then taking that hobby with him to the grave than I do people who actually talk about these things in person as if they are normal. It's the equivalent of people who talk about the great new bestiality video they saw yesterday or those that actually have the same opinions in real life that they posted on twitter.

>>17206306
how old? it's probably a phase.

>>17206666
>50-year old Japanese salarymen waving glowstick emotes and saying kawaii in Laplus streams and then taking that hobby with him to the grave
Oji-tan...

I live away from family and I don't have friends.
I showed vtubers to my dog, he didn't give a shit.

>>17201130
I’ve mentioned it once or twice with friends and that’s about it. Nothing came out of it

If you can't talk to your closest friends about your interests. They're not your friends.

>>17206030
I'd like to say I'll consider it but the world is a different place to what it was when I last thought about it. I had been planning to go back to Japan but it's unlikely I'll ever be legally able to travel there again for as long as I live. I don't think even humans believe in physical interaction anymore, at least not around here, where I am steadily losing the privilege to do anything the bugs do. Becoming a holed-up recluse was just another thing I was ahead of the curve on.

>>17201505
Will you punch his lights out if he hates your Oshi when he becomes addicted to vtubers?

>>17207208
>I had been planning to go back to Japan but it's unlikely I'll ever be legally able to travel there again for as long as I live.
Why is that? I'm aiming to move there myself before the decade is over. People online love to doom about how the borders will never be open again but I just don't see that happening.
How old are you, anyways?

>>17206020
>ironic weeb demographics
as a non american never understood this, why is so repulsive for you people to enjoy things genuinely? also being ironic for this kind of things always ends up/merges with liking them seriously, so nothing changes anyway

With my weeb friends we all know and watch sometimes, sadly we all live in different countries but we have spent a full day with streams running on the tv as we chill in a room
with my non weeb friends I showed them Miu singing Lamento Boliviano and they found it pretty cute https://youtu.be/AoEBYGGH_A0

>>17207598
anon shut the fuck up nobody believes there's more than one person in this conversation

>>17207815
(Your message included)

>>17201130
I'm a Live2D rigger, whenever people see me with multiple Anime girls making weird noises on screen i just tell them it's part of my job and show whatever i'm working on and they just find it interesting.
I have some artist friends and i work with them for my models and such.

>>17207815
you don't understand dude I need to save all the robots

>>17201130
>I fought in 'nam for this kind of shit
Cannot say I blame them

>>17206933
20

>>17206666
Ok super satan.

>>17201130
A lot of my sister's friends are 2views, so she tells me.

Talked about it with my friends on several occasions, they are not interested.
My family would disown me if they knew.

>>17201130
My mom likes my pretty boy oshis and I'm slowly converting my friends by feeding them clips and art. It's going pretty well

>>17201130
One of my friends sends me fanarts of my oshi that he sees on twitter

>>17201130
I do have a couple of friends who are into vtubers but I'm usually too busy isolating myself doing my reps to chat with them. Sometimes I'll come out and we'll chat for a while about who we've been watching and recommend notable streams to each other. They mostly watch HoloEN though one of them really likes Rushia from HoloJP.

>>17201130
no

>>17209767
Who does your mom like? She thinks all my male oshis are gay but she really likes Sister Claire.

FUCK NO LOL

>>17201130
Yes, because although they aren't into vtubers, I have actual friends, not the glorified acquaintances most people think friends are supposed to be.
I don't talk to them much about them, but if something happens in this medium that I think they'd enjoy (and they usually do), I have no problem showing them.
Same for my older brother, though that has only happened once or twice.

>>17201130
Yeah I just say they're streamers that don't want people to see their real face. As for my friends I know at least one of them that gets pissy about them using vtuber models and says that they should just show their face and I called him a retard to his face. Other friends don't really care tho.

>>17211018
She likes Kaida and Astel, and I've been slowly showing her Luxiem recently but I have to be very selective with their stuff

Kek nope. My interest in v-tubers is way too cunny in nature so I'll be taking that to the grave.

>>17207140
I disagree. We don't talk about the kind porn we like and I've been tight with some of them for over a decade.

>>17201130
Friends yes family no.

Dad asked me what VTuber is back when I started watching VTubers. Apparently he saw some video of 3D VTuber tech demos.

>>17201130
I have to use very formal words to explain what vtubing is to the folks
I called it 'Virtual-Dramatized Commentaries', where voice actors do in-character commentaries of any subject they talk about. Like news anchors/tv show hosts, but they do it while acting as a fictional character.
But the gimmick is that instead of being a pre-recorded/animated show, it's done live and involves audience interactions.
Dad asked if it's like 'ad-libbed Space Jam' and I unironically agreed

>>17212123
>he's able to explain chuubas without spilling spaghetti

>>17201130
My family doesn't give a shit about anything anime related.
Friends, yes. I got one of my real-life friends addicted to indie loli vtubers. And I also casually talk about vtubers with some of my online friends.

>>17201130
Yeah, I told my brother about it and later he surprised me with a Gura nendo preorder

>>17212123
>Your dad decides to look up vtubers so he can bond with his kid
>"Virtual-dramatized commentaries sounds interesting, wonder what it's all about..."
>Gura feet compilation

>>17201130
Sure the thing that is interesting to normies is that im platonically watching girls all the time.

>>17211542
Ur a cuck and most likely a vshojo/Nyanners fan

>>17212355
meant for
>>17206020

>>17212396
its hilarious he was in high school only 8 years ago

>>17211950
I do that with my friends though.

>>17212123
>VAs doing live animated ad-libs
It's not perfect but this is the easiest way to explain chuubas to old people

>>17211950
I'm sorry to tell you this but you don't have friends dude. Real friends share their interests with each other no matter what it is.

No and i'm glad its literally never been brought up even by my friends who decently have their toes in the weeb-sphere

>>17212396
(You)

>>17212446
Anon what do you think the average chuuba fan age is?

>>17212564
that's either legit nonsense or you and your friends are the thigh high wearing programmer types.
Even pre-puberty, males aren't that open.

>>17212338
>>17212232
Funny you should mention but my dad had been binging Rosemi

My younger brother found out while I was driving him around. My car playlist at the time had alot of karaoke songs from various Vtubers and he immediately caught onto it when we came back home. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to get the appeal so he went back to playing video games.

>>17202872
The thought of a baby liking Reflect is hilarious to me for some reason.

It makes up like 33% of conversation that isnt politics or vidya or work bullshit

>>17212636
Similar age as the chuubas obviously

>>17211453
Based.

>>17201456
>>17202872
>chumbuds are this young
Is this the new 'Pewdiepie fans are 12 year olds'?
Also it'll be pretty funny if the kid over time believes Gura is his big sister

>>17212641
They're not. I'm just incredibly open to anything anime/hentai related. My friends can't code for jackshit and they're not really interested in anything related to that. If you can't talk about porn with your friends, you must be some 40 year old boomer or something.

My best friend is a Miofag and is a babiniku indie
I got no more to say

>>17212851
Nonsense, the people generation above me who I knew that "talked" about porn together, watched it then sucked eachother off.
It's fag shit.

>>17212907
>I got no more to say
Then spit it out, feel it loud, go ahead, ask away.

>>17201130
My parents know I'm into anime and are fine with it from what I can tell. My moms a German bomer and really likes Alps no Shojo Heidi and some other older anime from around that time. My dad seems pretty indifferent about anime but I think he generally likes me having weird or niche interests, since he was kind of the same for his time and place he grew up in (Being into video games in East Germany).

My brother is as big into Vtubers and all the stuff surrounding that interest as I am and my friends are into anime but not really into Vtubers. I think one friend sometimes watches Ironmouse when she streams with Connor.

>>17212907
>Miofag
Based
>Babiniku
Why?

thread really is an eye opener on how many on here are actual schizos and literally have no friends

>>17206666
People actually don't really give a shit what you're speifically into if you are not an autist about it. They probably won't get it but if you aren't a weirdo they will accept it as a part of you.

>>17212652
Nice.

>>17206666
damn bro, it must be rough not having friends to share your interests with

>>17206020
Yeah I’d rather watch a real human play video games badly and have nothing else interesting about them

>>17201130
I put Kronii's karaoke on the big screen during Christmas eve and we all listened to her awful singing
It was epic

>>17212652
He's aiming for that Wosemi cunny

>>17213487
cringe kino, I did the same with the karaoke relay on new years

>>17212652
>my mum is getting cucked by a loli
rest in pieces

>>17212652
Rosemi fans are old men?!

I only tell my friends rrats from here. Lean, 5%, so that in case they ever see someone wearing mori merch they will beat his ass up

>>17213614
>mori merch

Since we are on the topic. Has anyone here actually left the house in like a Gura shirt or other Vtuber merch?

>>17213614
>>17213679
>Gura shirt
Speaking of which, does anybody know where I can buy this shirt? I wanna wear it for april fools when I'm out with a bunch of friends

No, I don't share any of my interests with anyone, even if it's normieshit. It only happens accidentally when I'm drunk, to which I respond with banging my head the day after when I realize what I've done.

Yeah i had discussion with my friend over korone tits

>>17201130
My family doesn't give a shit and have no interest in it whatsoever. I have 2 buddies that I share the hobby with but the rest of them are mostly indifferent. They find the lewd fanart nice though so that's a plus, I guess?

>>17201130
I didn't initiate the conversation but my mother caught me watching a Rikka singing stream once and she thought he was handsome.

>>17212652
Wosemidads are real...

>>17201130
I talked about it to my cousin who doesn't get it unfortunately. But then again he doesn't even like anime so. The thing is he sits in front of his computer the whole day and doesn't like going outside so I thought he would be the type to love it but I guess I was wrong.

>>17201130
I joked about my sister naming her child Amelia since she married someone whose last name is Watson. She was curious who is this Amelia Watson I'm talking about, then explained it's a vtuber. My sister and her husband started watching her since. Sadly, they didn't named their child Amelia.

>family
Why the fuck would you get into a situation where you're talking about your weeb interests with your family
>friends
Sure but they also happen to think all vtubers are Hololive so I don't talk about it much

>>17201130
My brother recognized Korone when I had her stream paused on my PC. Apparently his daughter watches Holo EN sometimes and he watches along too, so I'm assuming he knows Korone from an animation or something. A couple of my friends watch some indies but only very rarely.

>>17214167
Probably a good move not to name your daughter after someone who's still living, you don't know if she's going to go crazy and burn down King's Landing.

>>17201481
So basically VTuber Jehovah's Witnesses?

>>17213389
"""""friends""""" are just people you hang out with sometimes, they dont care about you and your interests

>>17216345
sounds like friendless cope to me
maybe touch grass next time

>>17216460
buzzword salad

>>17201130
To achieve what ? Best case they don't give a shit, worst case they make fun of you. Don't talk about non-mainstream hobbies unless you know the person you're talking to is also into it, or you do it as a professional which can help justify it. Any other scenario is a dice roll to how big of a loser it makes you look like, even if you just like watching the streams and nothing more.

I told some family that I'm doing commissions for people who want to be vtubers.
Not wrong, but I haven't officially opened yet.

All my family have dirt poor (and poor education) background and i m the few ones to make it into the afluent group (without drug-dealing), so my parents, siblings and cousins think all i do is right because i "become rich" including wasting my time watching anime lolis playing minecraft.

>>17216345
you just don't have real friends. i know many people have and maintain these shallow relationships but that's just because you're either unlikeable or are contend with your relationships being mediocre.

>>17217369
Friends are a burden. Real men die alone.

>>17217369
>just find real friends bro! they exist!
your """""friends""'"" dont care about you and your interests, they just like to pretend they do so you wont be sad

>>17217575
if you actually believe this, you're just sad and pathetic.

>>17201130
ive showed nene and gato bebe(baby shark video) to my mom once
she didnt get the appeal

Pro tip guys: Never tell your family about any of your interests, ever. Not for shame, but because it will be 10 years from now and they'll think you are still into the same exact shit no matter how much you've changed as a person.

>>17217369
>>17216460
not the same anon and I completely disagreewith him about friends, but I don't get it, he is the one suffering right now, why you're first reaction is getting angry at him?

>>17217883
NTA but
That just sounded kind of rude, condescending and insulting to people who have genuine friends.
It's almost instinctive for people to defend the ones close to them.

>>17217883
He made a dumb statement and I called him out on it. It is just a fact that there are people who've never known real friendship because they are unlikeable or just take shallow friendships for what they are because they don't want to put in the effort.

I have consitently cut people out of my life who have this attitude. I'm not interested in hanging out with people for the sake of it. No one should do that, being alone is better than that.

Im a 35 year old fuck living alone with a divorced wife and kid i havent seen in 2 years

Il kill myself before i tell anyone i wasted my life watching and simping for cartoons being a work at home hikkikomori

>>17218362
you forget that a lot of things about getting good friend is dumb luck, first thing you thought was giving him the fault like those people that say you have to only work harder to get rich.
I have the most wonderful friends I could have hoped for, but I also realize I got lucky, not that is impossible obviously but it isn't easy as randomly searching for them

>>17218048
but nobody insulted your firend, while you insulted him directly

>>17201130
one of my irl friends yeah

hes a weeb so its what ever. hes a nijifag though

my parents are dead, my brother's one of those hardcore political guys that hates anything with fanservice, I don't really talk to my sister (not out of malice or anything we just live in completely different worlds) and I don't have any friends that don't live in my funny internet box.

I heard my sister listening to a vocaloid song that Izuru covered, so i recommended it and that's about it.

>>17201130
My friends, yeah
I don't want to bother explaining what vtubers are to my family so when I get vtuber merch I just tell them that it's from an anime

I showed some vtubers to my mom since she used to work as a hostess in Akihabara back in the 90's and she really liked it. She usually watches the hag ones like Mio. She jokes every now and then that she wants to be a chuuba since she can play retro vidya and speak Japanese.

>>17201684
It's okay, you are the average VTuber/4channer man.

>>17201130
Sister, yes. Though she doesn't have any interest in streamers, she's enough of a weeb to understand what it's about.
My mom, ever supportive and curious, has asked about my media consumption and asked for elaboration. She doesn't understand streamers, tech-illiterate as she is, but has sort of equated them to other TV-shows and classify vtubers under "cartoons".

>>17201130
My parents don't even understand Youtube.

>>17201130
Yes but it's veiled.
I'll talk about something I was watching, like something I'll have seen on a stream, but make it sound like it was from a show or a video or something.

>>17220913
>my brother's one of those hardcore political guys that hates anything with fanservice
Can you elaborate?

>>17216345
Actual friends do care about you and your interests, maybe actually make friends before passing judgment.

I do actually talk about them with my friends, and they know who my oshi is.
they also don't mind the fact that I'll prioritize her streams over everything.
my recent conversation with one of them was about the whole calli situation and I explained it to him as best as I could, I even sent him her doxx pics and he laughed thinking all of this isn't worth it given how she looks

Yes. Got a couple into it. Most aren't interested, so I don't talk to it about them anymore.

>>17201130
Fuck no, and I never will.

>>17201130
Some of my friends know I'm into watching vtubers and have expressed slight interest in it, but I've never really talked to them about it. The most I've done is show them a few songs by Suisei and Towa.
If any of my family found out that I watch vtubers, they'd probably dismiss it as just some more of that weird loser shit I'm into and not give a damn, so I wouldn't even bring it up to them.

>>17203346
I miss when liking anime was social suicide

The one person I consider a friend in my life is deeper into weeb shit than I am but becomes an absolute normalfag when I mention anything about vtubers. Fuck if I'm ever mentioning this to my family or anyone irl.

My brother was completely disinterested at first but became an addict when he watched Gurame A Way Out.

I posted Pekora clips and ogeys to my friend groups discord and one guy that was a troon got so mad about it for whatever reason. I used to post a clip of Pekora saying good morning everytime I woke up as a gag.
I am no longer in that friend group.

No

>>17201130
How am I suppose to gossip petty shit about virtual e-celebs with folks who think all anime is porn?

>>17217765
>he won't still be into vtubers 10 years from now
Fucking casual

>>17221476
>discord
Fucking Reddit board everytime

>>17221770
How old are you? Its extremely normal to have discord for a friend group. It has replaced skype and teamspeak. Many people use it just for that

My family knows I'm a vtuber and are pretty supportive, they helped me set up my streaming stuff.

My friends know, some of them are vtuber are we game together every week.

>>17220757
>but nobody insulted your firend
Hey, not me. I'm just assuming what they think.

>>17221336
These days talking shit about anime will get you cancelled. The future is now, Old Man.

>>17203346
Gaming...anime...and now its VTubers. Its fucking pain.

Me and my grandma shitpost on here all the time

>>17201481
go to one of their houses dressed as pekora!

>>17220757
>you forget that a lot of things about getting good friend is dumb luck

simply isn't true. if you try to scoot through life never putting yourself out there, it's all luck yes but then it's still your fault for never trying to find engaging people but just going the easy way.

same with people who mindlessly work hard instead of combining smart and hard work. that's what'll make you rich.

>>17223323
are you one of those guys that negate the randomness of a lot of social interactions?
for fuck's sake anon, even just the country in which you're born into can influence heavily what people you can encounter, and that even without counting in stuff like mental situation, trauma, sexuality, school you were enrolled in as a kid, family status etc.
I mean, I completely agree you can find friends you're compatible with if you apply yourself hard enough, I just said it isn't simple for everyone and that doesn't make you automatically unlikeable, just like being poor doesn't make you lazy by default

I've told my family about my vtuber wife because both her and my family are a huge part of my life, I don't have any need to keep segments of my life a secret from them. I'm not ashamed of my wife, no one ever should be ashamed of their partner.

My wife has bought my so much happiness over these last few months it's unreal.

My cousin watches Korone, so I called him a Holobrony and shilled my 2view

>>17224092
That's why I said you're either unlikeable or you are contend with your situation, one of those two. Read my post again.

Some people meet true friends by sheer luck, most people have to try, as with anything else.

One time they broke my balls because they didn't like a hobby I had and used as ammo against me in a meaningless argument. Now in the present day I talk about this shit to them all the time.

>>17221453
Sounds like your friend needs to be hit with some Kiara, don't let me down.

>>17201130
Not really. My friends are giga normies who think I'm a subhuman for being a Vergil despite graduating college in Computer Science just a month ago.
My brother and roommate doesn't care much about vtubers, but I'll occassionally share a Miko saying the N word or Gura helping Amelia clip that have them laughing.

>>17201130
I have talked to friends in passing about it on occasion, but not at length or for long. On the rare occasion someone else has brought it up, I've talked about it more in depth and now I occasionally get messages like "I watched that vtuber you like, the shark" or "your streamer is on :)"

>>17225409
>"I watched that vtuber you like, the shark" or "your streamer is on :)"
pretty cute

>>17201130
I showed a friend who’s a weeb as well (she’s only heard of Gura before) and she called Mori’s song cringe lol
It was fun watching her react to Luna’s voice though.

>>17221162
He’s either a hardcore SJW who thinks women shouldn’t be objectified, or a hardcore conservative Christian who things women should be covered up.

>>17225605
I hate /pol/fags with a passion.

>>17201130

I've heard my coworkers talking shit, more than once, about streamers who play video games and how they can't believe there are people who would watch that. Sometimes I fantasize about how the conversation would go if I brought up how much I love vtubers. Looks like I'll be spending the rest of my life pretending to be ignorant of it all and go home afterward to watch my oshi. If my family walked in on me watching vtubers they would probably laugh and I'd never live it down while my dad would disown me, which he pretty much has already done. This secret is going to the grave.

>>17225015
based

>>17225158
>most people
also you completely ignored my post, let's end it here at this point

>>17226703
No I didn't, you just never understood my original point. Some people find the best friends of their lives by sheer luck, most people don't and have to work for that.

Being a depressed fuck makes you unlikable, being some secual deviant makes you unlikeable. All the other things you listed make it a bit harder to find friends but it's still not an excuse to claim that real friendships don't exist because you don't apply yourself.

But you even bringing up the "muh depression" excuse tells me enoough about what kind of fag you probably are and why you feel the need to proxy defend some random fag on a japanese child grooming board.

>>17201130
I was watching the Niji phasmo collab and my bro asked me what I was watching and I was too embarrassed to explain properly, so I just muttered something about them playing/narrating games. He killed himself a day or two later so it's kinda weird to think it's one of the last times I talked to him

>>17201130
>Friends
Have one friend that browses /vt/ and we have been able to discuss rrats and funny /vt/ memes with each other openly. All my other friends are in the "we are aware what vtubers is but we don't want to openly talk about it" boat.
>Family
My parents are literal boomers that would hardly understand the concept of a streamer much less a chuuba so there is no point to try and discuss anything with them.
My sister understands the modern world however I'm pretty sure she seethes at the fact that men would worship fake women and also thinks that hentai is for perverts and not at all something that can be discussed seriously so there's no way I would ever be able to reveal to my family that my oshi is an adult artist who is literally perfect in every way and I derive entertainment from watching her engage her fans in wholesome, not-adult-oriented ways.

>>17201130
My parents got confused by Bobs Burgers when it popped up on TV over the holidays. No chance in hell I'm going to try and explaining anime girls twitch streaming to them.

>>17227174
Man, if only you properly introduced Vtubers to him. You could have saved him.

Vtubers are my friends so naturally we talk about other vtubers occasionally.

>>17227153
>to claim that real friendships don't exist because you don't apply yourself.
talking about not understanding other people post, also I don't know what do you even mean twith "tells me enough", I already said I have a strong social circle.
also no, the fact you woud go to a person with sever asperger, clinical depression, history of abuse or else and tell them "you're just unlikeable lol, it's just a BIT harder!" make think you either lack empathy, are incredibly sheltered, or still in still in school

>>17227707
Who's your favourite vtuber?

>>17201130
I turned my middle aged sister into a 35P. Rest of family laughs at clips.

>>17201130
No. Nobody in this world but me knows and will ever know that I regularly watch vtubers. Aside from google and isp pajeets of course.

>>17229561
Everyone deals with the same stuff you do, they just try harder and are successful as a result.

My oshi is Gura, so no.

>>17203064
A Huezilian then ?

Sounds like I could be your dad. Are you old enough to be here?

actual """""""friends"""""" don't exist, if you think your """"""friends""""" give a fuck about your problems and interests you're just lying to yourself

>>17203346
its not some zoomer vs millenial thing you fucking oldfag
its a matter of being autistically interested in things and having a modicum of curiosity, the internet just exacerbates things
you think bookworms and academics of the past didnt have the same problem?
ive have so many interests that i cant share with people bc of how far down the road they are, mainly atm they are chuubas, biochemistry/endocrinology, and metaphysics
eventually you stop being a little bitch and realise that not being able to "share your interests" is part of whats called being a man
do i wish i had people to talk to? of course, but finding those people irl is like finding a needle in a haystack

>>17201130
Never will, always keep your power level stealthed. The only person I talk about it with is the friend who reintroduced me to vtubing (after kizuna).
I've also been learning Japanese for 3 years, never going to tell them that either.

>>17229561
>sever asperger, clinical depression, history of abuse or else
newsflash, nobody cares you dumb faggot. if you are a major fucking autist people won't like you, if you break up social contact and whine constantly because of "muh depression" people won't like you. not realizing this simple fact is the actual sheltered attitude. anyone who tells you differently is just being nice because it's expected of them to act like that.

if there are problems keeping someone from having friends that's their problem, not the fact that no actual friendships exist.

>"tells me enough"
in reference to you being an obvious over emotional faggot who gets offended by me calling someone out on an obviously false statement.

>>17201130
I showed my Aunt Vtubers and she thought they were pretty cool and especially liked Gura's singing. I also explained GFE to her and told her about how sometimes people send superchats to feel like they have a relationship to the Vtuber. She simply replied, "How depressing..."

>>17237988
