I am increasingly realising that I don't want honesty or reality from vtubers. I want a curated experience and performance. The comparison between chuubas and wrestlers and movie actors is an apt one. In the ideal circumstances, I'd be in love with the character and the puppeteer is merely her vessel.

>In this postmodern world, individuals flee from the “desert of the real” for the ecstasies of hyperreality and the new realm of computer, media, and technological experience. In this universe, subjectivities are fragmented and lost, and a new terrain of experience appears that for Baudrillard renders previous social theories and politics obsolete and irrelevant. Tracing the vicissitudes of the subject in present-day society, Baudrillard claims that contemporary subjects are no longer afflicted with modern pathologies like hysteria or paranoia. Rather, they exist in “a state of terror which is characteristic of the schizophrenic, an over-proximity of all things, a foul promiscuity of all things which beleaguer and penetrate him, meeting with no resistance, and no halo, no aura, not even the aura of his own body protects him. In spite of himself the schizophrenic is open to everything and lives in the most extreme confusion” (1988: 27). For Baudrillard, the “ecstasy of communication” means that the subject is in close proximity to instantaneous images and information, in an overexposed and transparent world. In this situation, the subject “becomes a pure screen a pure absorption and re-absorption surface of the influent networks” (1988: 27). In other words, an individual in a postmodern world becomes merely an entity influenced by media, technological experience, and the hyperreal.

If anyone has seen Galaxy Quest by any chance, IMO the comparison to make to vtuber stage personality vs the real person was that Dr Lazarus guy. Fucking hated the character he played and thought the whole franchise he was known for was fucking stupid and hated every minute of being dragged around participating in it thinking he was too good for it all, until he realized that being a good actor was not about how he felt about the material but about how it touched the lives of the fans and made them happy.

Bad vtubers only think for themselves and want their fans to work around their own self image, good ones think only for their fans how best they can serve them. Coincidentally that latter spirit is what the Japanese idol thing is at core supposed to about and the chuubas who are openly anti idol usually are totally fine to be unpleasant to their fans, are clearly openly selfish and whiny and nasty if fans don't see her how she wants to be seen etc.

Yeah, I don't want to hear too much about them. If I do I start seeing them as people instead of as women and that really kills it for me.

That was literally the point of early vtubers that were focused on pumping out videos: anime characters with their own personality and settings that you can actually interact with. Now that they're just streamers with avatars it comes with all of the downsides of watching streamers in general (interpersonal drama, offstream shenanigans, etc.) , with the added constant reminder that the anime character you're is just a facade and doesn't exist, especially when the streamer doesn't give enough of a shit to maintain it

>TLDR

/vt/ is full of deluded, cuckold, weak-willed, pan/tran-sexual, hyper-psychotic men and women who know they do not belong in the fight for survival and will always pretend to live (even if Superficially) in a bubble where they will slowly either self consume or erode given the elements/circumstances of the climate in the present day

But you knew that already, I mean Honestly, apart from beta-spines who have nothing of worth who unironically browses /vt/ getting into spats over who their virtual inter-coper didn't fuck today?

I'ma steal that thanks.

One could even extend that to the content creators themselves, sure they have money but if it wasn't for the agencies/corp, they'd still be twiddling their mildew ridden pussies working for peanuts given their fuck all worth portfolios or academic history

While most run a marathon, some just cut corners
