/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

People like to be apart of something from the very beginning.

This is why I only member 9 months or more after debut, I need them to impregnate my mind until the thought of not supporting them is painful

Simps gotta Simp, getting a single second of a girl's attention even if she just debuted is thier Single goal in life

>>30829868
it's like gacha games where people instantly say they will play it forever(most dorp it after 2 weeks but some really stay there forever)

>>30829868
> are you treating them like FOTM games that you jump onto after you get bored with your previous one?
This, the attention span of people is too short so they just move to the next big thing. Anime fans arent known to be faithful with their waifus either.

>>30829868
It's just a lie. Even after a month, the Vtuber can't be someone's "oshi". Showing potential to become one? Yes. Anything else is just normalfags jumping on a thing without actually understanding the meaning. I decided I liked a Vtuber enough to call her my oshi after 6 months and I never had an oshi before. I then watched for at least another year before her streams and even social media activity slowed to such a crawl that at times I even forgot she existed. Even then I did not want to admit that I lost interest and ate the breadcrumbs that were given to me. Only then did I even consider oshihen, which I did after a while of watching someone else

>>30829868

Yes.

I kneel...

>>30829868
It depends on the individual, but debut streams are really important if you're trying to make a good first impression.

>>30829868
honestly with a real oshi you can just TELL that you’ll like them i’ve liked elira on debut and her interests are “literally me” so i still like her to this day love at first sight oshi at first sight

>>30829868
>Oshiing used goods
That's cuck mentality, to oshi a vtuber after other people start to oshi them

>>30829868
>Can someone that does this unironically explain how does this even happen? What exactly are you oshiing? The voice? The model?
You watch them and see whether or not you fall in love. As in real life, it's based on how your subconscious feels about the combination of their looks, voice, personality and a number of other factors. It's largely subjective (else everyone would all like the same vtuber), and it's not something you can force.
>Isn't a Vtuber supposed to earn your love and trust until she becomes your oshi
No. That's friendship, and the only thing more pathetic than desiring a vtuber as your fuck buddy is thinking they're you're friend. At that point, just pick up a vidya and get some real gaming bros.
>or are you treating them like FOTM games that you jump onto after you get bored with your previous one?
Absolutely. Imagine thinking a sexless relationship is worth staying in. What's even the point?


You just watch them combination of voice, personality and appearance.

>>30838365
kek i hope you're fucking around but honestly, that mentality coming out of this place wouldnt surprise me at all. Every other thing that happens is "being cucked". Literal fucking imbeciles...

>>30838365
Netori is a flex. It's getting netorare'd that makes you a cuck.

Absolutely. Imagine thinking a sexless relationship is worth staying in. Not even once, unless they've already built up fuckton of good memories and gratitude with (You).

>>30829868
It’s never happened. Not actually.

>>30830684
You mean you like to pretend to have been.

>>30839158
brainless post, you kept writing no when it’s yes

>>30829868
They do predebut promotion, having a few funny tweets and a cute profile picture is enough for me to like someone.

>>30829868
Are these the same people that watch every single debut in existence and never stick around?

>>30839931
If the first date doesn't go well, why bother with a second?

>>30841694
Amelias debut was technically dogshit, yet she still managed to create an army of goslings.
Mumeis debut and the first week or two were beyond underwhelming, but look at her now.
Not to mention some JP's like Korone for example being the best example of "get this bitch off my screen" to becoming one of the most belowed chuubas ever.

>>30842015
Those aren't the people who watch every debut but never stick around. The ones who leave usually don't come back (dead subs) because they're not looking for muh numbers or "muh entertainment" cope.

>>30829868
maybe they really liked that first stream.

>>30829868
It takes one stream to know you're gonna be keeping a close eye on someone and from there it's an easy one way road to having an oshi. It didn't happen to me but some of my favorites I follow closely have impressed me right on their first stream.

Don't know. I've been following vtubers since 3 or 4 years now and never had an oshi and just watched them for entertainment, but Fauna became my oshi since her debut, it was like love at first sight.

>>30829868
Normalfaggots think oshi is synonym for waifu.

>>30829868
"Oshi" hasn't meant anything since 2020. Seriously I've never heard it thrown around the way it has been since Hololive inclined, also maybe "fujo"

I liked her design, and her personality was just a perfect fit.

>>30829868
100% one of the three shilling the channel. The girl herself, the “manager” or a desperate mod. In these cases is nothing but lip service.
Now about what is attractive in a vtuber. Simple answer, everything. No one likes hanging around trash people, there’s nothing alluring in women with drunk tier voices and thanks to the models, there’s always that beautiful avatar somewhere else so why settle for shit material.

Is funny, but this is what girls do with males and in this medium you have the choice.

>>30829868
I'd say it's a mix of:
>posers who don't deeply understand what an oshi is and use it loosely like calling every cute anime girl a waifu, may even treat it as a plural
>normalfags who are the above but even more misinformed and literally think it's just "vtuber I like" to count
+
>teenagers who may actually get infatuated with someone but aren't old/experienced enough yet to know that that's a false love and putting someone on a pedestal without knowing them is just fantasy in your mind
>autistic adults who still have the mental level of teenagers in this regard

Your oshi should be someone you only actually really-seriously like once you've actually seen them talk and do a bunch of stuff to form a real opinion on. Even then, anyone who's anyone ought to know to not trust anyone coming out the gate, never NEVER NEVER trust an idol blindly just on the initial first impression, until you see more of her real character coming in, which could take a year+.

it appears vaguely female, therefore I'm in love.
