/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Mori

CookieSwirlC

if you're being asked what vtubers you watch in a social setting it's too late and you're already five steps in the wrong direction

Fucking coward. Tell them your actual oshi

>>76105128
Fauna is the one with the most normalfags in her fanbase by far

>>76105232
>Mori
Unironically this, was popular during peak hysteria lockdowns which is the only point that normalfags bandwagoned around vtubers. Saying Gura will get you labeled a lolicon so Mori is the safest, most bland choice of cheap white bread you can possibly pick.

>>76105128
pretty much anyone from hololive.

Suisei?

>>76105128
Moona and most of her songs sounds like what normies would like to listen to.

Kobo

>>76105232
>>76105856
counterpoint

Koa Akugaki, show them a picture too.

>>76106135
>Mori's big tits are not okay
>Gura's DFC is not okay
So he's fucked either way

>>76105128
If they're asking about vtubers it's already over for you, might as well say Shondo to filter them as hard as you can

>>76105128
Suisei.

>>76105973
This is probably the right answer in that she's a Holo and not remotely lewd, but you'd probably get labeled an idolfag. Most westerners are probably expecting a gamer vtuber when they ask

>>76105973
>>76106257
Nope, because then they will then ask if you speak Japanese and if you don't have a good answer to this question you end up looking retarded like most EOPs larping as Ken-sama connoisseurs. Better to say you like listening to Suisei's songs in particular.

>>76105856
you just reminded me that this abomination happened

>>76105128
I bet some fairly normal ligger would be a safe answer, like idk Aethel or some other m*le who mostly plays vidya

>>76106484
Aethel? The dude with the gay sex anthem? absolute banger btw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPghBomVlSM

to avoid any problem you just say you watch clips from time to time, actually watching women streaming is cuck simp behavior

why so afraid little guy?

The correct answer is to lie and say you've never heard of vtubers before.
If it's too late and you've already outed yourself, >>76106595 is a good backup plan

>>76105128
None, genuinely. Most people's perception of vtuber fans is that they are weird perverts, not that they are wrong mind you. So always have a normie streamer ready to mention if the topic comes up

Shinri is pretty safe.

>>76106410
Just say you watch translated clips and listen to her music, you don't need to understand Japanese for that.

>>76105128

Jerma.

>>76106777
Also better to call them "anime girls" instead of vtubers and use Hololive as your only point of reference but forgetting the names of anyone or mispronouncing them. Don';t come across as super knowledgeable on the lingo.

>>76105128
>not a single person in this thread saying kizuna ai
She might be dead but she's THE normietuber.

>>76107121
In Japan, maybe. Due to lockdowns like previously mentioned, many people only know vaguely about Myth existing andf that is all.

>>76106926
I think admitting you're a clipwatcher is cringier than any vtuber you could name

>>76105128
No one, people that watch Vtubers are weird parasocial nerds, that don't have healthy social lives, there's a reason that every vtuber fan account in social media is an alt acc, that hides his personal info.

Do you really think that it is normal to watch a girl pretending to be a 2D anime girl, for more than 2 hours every day?

Not even in fucking Japan is socially acceptable to watch vtubers

>>76108232
This. Not even Suisei or Azki are acceptable. I still remember that one JP account stopping people on the street to ask what they're listening and one guy who listened to Suisei was mocked.

>>76105128
I remember telling my boss I don't watch anime when he asked me about it half a decade ago
You gotta hide your powerlevel my guy
When people at the office talk about hololive I just look the other way and pop my earphones in

>>76106207
If he’s in a position where he’s being asked that question, then it’s already unsalvageable.

Answer Gura. If they have anything impolite to say then rape them to reassert your dominance. A chumbud should not back down and fear lesser beings

>>76110680
This kind of person is why you shouldn't tell people you watch vtubers.

>>76107327
>In Japan, maybe.
>he doesnt know about fakkyu

>>76106257
>>76106351
This was on the right track, but you don't say Suisei, instead go with MGO.

This will neat you a "oh he likes Japanese music" only instead of "he's a fucking weirdo who simps for old women pretending to be anime girls"

>>76105307
Only if you have kids

>>76106080
Only if you are indog or SEA

>>76106173
Lunita la mas...

>>76111159
>>76106080
>>76110680
A loli is never a safe answer, no matter how popular. If you say Kobo or Gura, everyone will think you are a pedophile. Honestly, even just saying you watch anime will probably make people assume you're a pedophile.

>>76106410
Liking an EN is more embarassing than watching any JP girl even if you cant understand them.
>>76107674
First off, that isn't a thoguht or an opinion that the normal functioning people in this fake scenario would havee. Also... Like literally every single person on this board doesn't watch clips. Even Japanese viewers watch clips. You cant watch every single stream.

>>76111850
sure, you can't watch every stream, but you can >>76105368

>>76111850
A clipwatcher is someone that ONLY watchers clips, like that person was suggesting saying you are

>>76111973
No you cant. Not enough time for people with actual careers and friends or families and other hobbies. I make time top watch my oshis vods when I can't catch them live. Other girls I only watch clips of, I don't have the time.
>>76112068
And the normal person who is asking about vtubers in this scenario would have no idea what the fuck you are talking about or have an opinion on clips or vods or whatever.

>>76112288
>people with actual careers and friends or families and other hobbies.
ew, normie.
>I make time top watch my oshis vods when I can't catch them live.
based. only your oshi matters, other chuubas are like an occasional snack.

>>76105128
Realistically Suisei, since she's just a digital popstar and Miku has managed to be in mainstream content. For the same reasons Mori but less so because she has boobs.

Pekora being one of their top stars might be fine, but risky because small boobs being shown, her voice isn't human, and she's a rabbit.

>>76113531
I know we're all blind to it by now, but Pekora's literally wearing a bunny girl outfit. You may as well tell them you jerk off to hentai

>>76105128
Suisei clips and music.

>>76113785

I mean, I didn't notice that for about the first month after I caught a few of her clips, and she was the first tuber I was ever exposed to.

>>76105128
Kobo and it doesn't even came close, especially if you're a SEAnigger.

>>76114638
what the fuck is going on in indo if it's normal to talk about someone like Kobo?

>>76105813
Uuuuuu
Mommy
Come back
I miss mommy

>>76115494
How do you think she managed to reach 2million that fast without covid buff? She's a networking genius, she reached out to various big names in indo streaming scene so yeah. She's as mainstream as you can possibly get here

>>76118761
In the streaming scene, sure, but I still doubt she has actual mainstream acceptance among normies. No way you tell your parents you watch her and they aren't disappointed in you

>>76119173
>parents
Well shit they would be disappointed in me if i ever breath air the wrong way anon

>>76105128
Don't do it. Just say you don't watch vtubers and don't engage with them.

>>76105128
>Who are the most normie, safest vtubers to admit to watching in a social setting?
it's a weeb trap to make you reveal your powerlevel
the safest thing to say is, "I don't really watch vtubers but I have heard of them. Is that an anime thing like Touhou?"
then you look at your questioner with an expression of utter pity as he fails to hide his powerlevel

None. Learn to hide your power level fuckhead

>>76122098
>>76122437
Maybe if we were all a bit braver we wouldn't have to live in a world in which we need to hide our interests

>>76105128
Probably Mumei?
I watch Shiori at work with earbuds, it doesn't bother anyone as long as I don't laugh too loudly and no one really asks or questions it, I'm not avoided or anything either, so I think that's socially acceptable.

It’s FWMC.
You can always say
>This is a new children show. My niece is a big fan of them and I’m watching this with her.
to your coworkers and managers.
Bau Bau! Ehehe!!

a trve entertainer

>>76124102
Awfully big tits for a kids show.

>>76124562
>Eee~? big tits?
>only kids play with big tits!!
>Soo pathetic!!

>>76105128
Personally I would hate it if I had to lie about who my Oshi is. You could name someone not your Oshi but someone you hold high regard for; that may have been your oshi under different circumstances like knowing them sooner (Like Subaru)

>>76105128
Probably Geega
>super normal voice
>talks about topics normal people can relate to
>often plays GTA RP with popular flesh streamers
>has actual work experience as a project manager
>mature and professional and doesn't get into petty drama
>hag that frequently touches grass and has endless opinions on many different topics
>frequently demystifies and explains aspects of vtuber culture in a digestible way for normies who've learned about her from GTA RP

>>76125854
Subaru might actually be the right answer
>Popular
>Seiso
>Normal girl model
>Streams in english

>>76105128
Pippa unironically, it's better to been as unhinged than as a coomer

>>76111480
Bro if they are talking about vtubers then they dont give a shit about lolis

>>76105128
Any Japanese tuber cause English speaking normies are too fucking retarded (normal) to do Japanese reps for the sole purpose of understanding Japanese vtubers. The jp vtubers could be saying the most heinous shit imaginable and no normie would bat an eye. If asked why just say she sounds cool or she plays the games I like

>>76105128
My go to answer is "Oh, it's Hololive." most of them would satisfied with this answer.

>>76128162
Anon for the love of take a break from this place, you need to understand that the culture here is not normal before you have the cops called on you

>>76127161
>another orbiter who got into vshojo
no thanks

>>76128797
I am confident I could ask 20 people at work if they have heard of hololive, and get zero "yes" responses.

>>76105128
Why would it ever come up in work?
What job do you work at where even a few of your coworkers would know what a vtuber is?

>>76129846
Further to that, if one of my co-workers was spergy enough to bring it up, I would never admit I knew what they were talking about.

>>76129509
I worked on a game that a bunch of Holos played, and even sharing streams in the office to game developers (nerds) of their own game being played, I was still treated like a weirdo for linking videos of cartoon larpers

>>76129969

One time I remember a co-worker asking if I watched anime and I brought up DBZ because I thought it would be normie/safe enough and then I was the Japan guy to everyone else. Never again.

Always play dumb.

>>76105128
First of all, why do you care what other people think of your hobbies/likes? Especially normies.

You're really going to admit to liking something you don't just to please them? That's kinda pathetic.

>>the safest thing to say is, "I don't really watch vtubers but I have heard of them. Is that an anime thing like Touhou?"

assuming normies even know about Touhou, let alone how to properly pronounce it.

>>I watch Shiori at work with earbuds

I watch Pekora at work without earbuds, but just low enough to hear it. Nobody cares and I don't care what other people think of it. Not going to hide what I like to please other people.

>> The jp vtubers could be saying the most heinous shit imaginable and no normie would bat an eye

This. You could be listening to Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru and nobody would know you're listening to a song about enjo kosai.

just drive to work with your oishi on your car like this guy and you will never have to worry about avoiding this kind of situation.

>>76130831
It's just a fact that people who are liked by their coworkers do better in their careers. Pretending to be normal is a survival skill

>>76127161
From announcement until this post, I thought Geega was the man who joined vshojo

Suisei? I think she's like current Miku atleast within the normal fag sphere, just say you listen to her songs since they're being artificially pushed by the algo

>>76123242
Anon even if every single person that was into something that was seen as weird came out and admitted they liked it in public, most normies aren’t even aware of this kind of stuff like >>76129509 pointed out so you’d still be seen as a weirdo regardless

>>76131084

Or you could just not give a shit. People think I'm weird even without knowing my tastes.

>>76132404
I'm sorry for you but I am normie-passing

>>76111850
>First off, that isn't a thoguht or an opinion that the normal functioning people in this fake scenario would havee.
Says the retarded Ken-sama with this hot take that normal functioning people would never have outside of hardcore nerd circles
>Liking an EN is more embarassing than watching any JP girl even if you cant understand them.

>>76105128
Yup

Ironmouse, she gets herself very involved with normie twitchshit and you can just use that as an excuse, like saying you discovered her through someone else

>>76108678
Name of that channel?

>>76105128
I've personally tried to get a feel for it and watch holos in the big office TV and these ones don't bat an eye;
Kiara and Shiori for the same reasons, they engage in the conversation. They yap enough to distract people they're anime girls.
Mori is like 70% viable. Her Persona and Red Read streams are fine, but her Minecraft streams are not for the same reason Fauna is not.
Anya is literally just a let's player playing games badly. Her commentary style is also evergreen so even normalfags can tune in
2022-2024 Ollie is fine. She's pretty normal actually most of the time, you wouldn't expect a random scream.
Nerissa and Kronii are in the same category of fine in paper but the boobs jiggle too much.

>>76129178
Nigger, the loli shit is psyop'd to hell and back.
Equating it with pedophilia is the favorite pasttime of zoomers and gen alpha who have been groomed by trannies with madoka magica profile pics on discord. And instead of doing the reasonable and equating trannyshit with creepy grooming and disgusting fetishes, they pic on lolicon because it's more acceptable in this social climate.
They're cowards who found a socially acceptable punching bag to get out some of the frustration of their fucked up upbringing.
The rest are projecting pedoshits who need to eat a bullet or stop overcompensating their mental illness.

>>76105128
Pekora

>>76140770
Uh, anon. Loli = sexualized children. Pedophilia = being attracted to children. There really isn't much to debate here.

>>76141198
Now do gore, ryona, yaoi, shota and rape!
Oh right, those are okay because woman enjoy it.
You're are a midwit hypocrite. There really isn't much to debate here.
And I can't believe I have to defend loli on a vtuber board although it does nothing for me.
The hobby should have been gatekept harder.

>>76141311
When did I say loli was bad, you retard? I said if you tell people in normal society you enjoy lolis they will think you are a freak, which they will.

>>76141467
It's to pedophilia as rape fantasy is to actual rape. A weird fantasy thing were no one gets hurt. If you talk to someone about vtubers and mention say Gura as your oshi the last thing the other party is going to think is that you want to fuck her. Those whose minds directly go to such places have been brainrotted by internet discourse.
I agree in so far that talking about vtubers to someone who is clueless is weird, cringe and retarded. Worst they'll think is you are a developmentally arrested manchild (which you probably are). The layers of abstraction are too much to explain to someone who hasn't made first contact with the scene themselves.

>>76141607
I mean if you told people you like watching fictional rape they will also probably not take that well.

>>76142018
Yeah, they would, if they aren't fujos themselves.
It's pretty easy. What happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. It's something you simply don't talk about on your job, with strangers, or acquaintances. Friends, maybe, depends on your closeness. This is how to function 101. We didn't need to mention this in the past. These days the bar is in hell, sadly.
Another life pro tip: Being labeled as weird is the function of others simply not getting what is interesting about your interest. It's a failure of communication if someone just assumes the other person is on the same page about everything. A bit of main character syndrome, even.

>>76141607
I got asked by my friends to show them some vtubers and when i show them Gura they deadass asked "That is so cringe, is that a child ?"

>>76142275
lmao.
But they didn't proclaim you a pedophile for liking her, now did they?
How did you get asked by them in the first place if they don't even knew of Guras existence? I guess you learned a valuable lesson that day.

>>76142190
Jesus fucking christ you two had a conversation all night whenI literally said "Just rape them if theyhave a problem" after some retard gave an answer I would have raped him over? The fuck man why did this retard shit happen whenhim being a faggot and crying about being labeled a pedo should have been answered with brutal painful assrape to put him in his place as a bitch afraid of what filthy normies think

>>76142385
Cuz they saw the Ironmouse game award so they got curious about vtubers. But yes, after that incident I will never talk about vtuber in public

>>76142619
bro what

>>76142619
WTF are you talking about. I entered this thread as a drive-by catalognigger. Not some dutybound crusader defending weird tastes all day long. I was probably asleep when said incident happened.

>>76142697
No offense, but twitchpeople are their own brand of retarded and brainrotted. You are probably young and I'd suggest finding friends with actual aspirations and goals somewhere else.
Twitch has always been a cryptid zoo to me. How does the chat spam hivemind even work over there? The emoji assault for every stupid little thing the talent does is on a different level.

>>76105128
Neuro

>>76142870
isn't the game awards mostly a yt thing?

Suisei, her music is normal jpop anyone can understand.

None.
They all have engaged in sex/innuendo joking, yuri/lesbian specially, which is an easy automatic disqualification for a "social setting"

Y'all are pussy faggots, unless your oshi is a loli just tell the truth. 98% of the time they'll just say "oh cool, never heard of her" and then promptly forget and move on. Believe or not I don't really care but I am pretty popular in normie circles and I don't lie about liking vtubers if it comes up or hide any nerdy interests, if you're under 30 watching anime shit is pretty normal now anyway. Just own it and be confident and no one cares if you are otherwise well adjusted and not weird.

>>76146245
This but say pekora or korone

>>76146999
But of course, Pekora is my oshi I'm a gen 3 fag.

>>76105128
You are only allowed to like sports or cars. Guns if you're a burger like me. Talking about any of your real hobbies at work is a ticket to nowhere. Personal anecdote: the other team leads and I were discussing who would get an open spot. Best candidate was vocal about loving WoW at work and was passed over for the position because of it. Job went to some cretin that loved Fords and the local college football team.

>>76105128
"which vtubers you watch" would not come up at true normalfag contexts
If they're asking you, the jig is up, you've already at least partially revealed your powerlevel, but so have they. This question is in a completely different category than "do you like anime?" from people who're expecting answers like heroaca or attack on titan

>>76147561
You guys need to get into positions of power at work. The foreman under me is a hag lover, and hes converting all the labourers and jmen into vtuber fans.

>>76147856
I'm glad there are people in the world that are able to share their interests openly at work. For the immediate future, I cannot be one of them. I envy you and your cohorts anon, and wish you continued days of workplace comraderie.

>>76105128
IronMouse, the Vtuber of the Year.

>>76105307
good choice

>>76105232
my beloved

>>76130051
That’s very bizarre, I feel like that’s one of the few places where you wouldn’t be shamed for that except for a comic shop or something more geeky than being a game developer

I don't know what you're afraid of, I was asked that question and said I watch small indies like Alfhilde Odinsdottir, which the person wondering obviously had no idea about, so they didn't ask further

>>76105687
>Fucking coward. Tell them your actual oshi

>>76123573
Mumei would be the safe choice for normie conversation. Cute design, hasn't released any coomerbait merch, and most of the random clips they might see is her acting scary. Vtubers are a niche hobby though and truth is even shipping fan art is going to cause most normies to have the wrong idea.

>>76105128
Saying any vtuber from Hololive is basically outing yourself as a non-normie watcher. Almost everyone I see in public talking about vtubers only talk about twitch ones. Maybe back in 2020-2022 that would have worked but not now.

>>76113785
Bunny girl isn’t sexualised outside the anime/vtuber sphere to the same degree thiugh unless it’s distinctly “playboy bunny” or overly bdsmey. So weirdly you get away with it if they background check and just find someone yellling laughing and being goofy

>>76140770
Example of failing the perception check and just soapboxing guaranteeing you lose your career/friends/family defending anime lolis.

Either get that under control with normies and in threads about normie reactions, or you’ll lose everything.

>>76143833
It's a video game medium wide thing by now, if you can believe it from Geoff Keighley's Hollywood and Advertisement Bonanza™
Even normalfags at this point are somewhat aware of it, award news pop up in mainstream outlets. The previous one actually might have been a lot of people's first exposure to vtubers

>>76105128
Unironically? Ironmouse. Even my fleshies only friends spoke highly of her for some reasons.

>>76105128
Well, AZKi is my oshi, so I don't need to lie because normie westerners know jack shit about her and her design is pretty safe
