The only question is why do you force people to superchat vtubers if they have boyfriends?
You call people who don't superchat vtubers SEAniggers while being so uppty about giving money to "muh oshi while she is fucking someone behind your back.

a bit unorganised but i wrote a lot listen plz...
hololive target audience is gfe. LIKE IT OR NOT! but it is, they all do it even ina, kiara, mori. not all the time, but even if they themselves deny it they do.
so thats the "incel unicorn" audience which is lots of money.

then you have mediums like "i dont care if they have bf in theory, i like them a lot" - what about this guy? this is me btw
well, if they have bf, i do care even if i say i dont. because its like a big mystery between me and this (fantasy) connection i have with the streamer. why is her life so secret? guess no connection here... SO I MOVE ON to new streamer
see what I mean??

now imagine a fiction land where they have bf and open about it - see wolfychu for example. sure i can watch her sometimes. i know her bf, she talk about him, i dont have gfe enjoyment from her but sometimes i do watch. even if she streams with her bf.
THIS IS NOT AS MUCH FUN AS WATCHING HOLOLIVE FOR ME. but it still works as entertainment. its like watching a normal streamer with LIMITED CONNECTION TO.

get it?? sorry, im esl i do admit just this once.... but do you see???
there is no inbetween - you have to not have bf's!!! its really the only way to work. anything else complicates it too much until you become a different product (average streamer).

TL;DR having boyfriend RUINS THE (fantasy) CONNECTION BETWEEN STREAMER AND AUDIENCE!

Because I'm a social retard and I use my oshi as a replacement for companionship in my life. I watch her streams when I'm lonely, I listen to her talk while I do other stuff like work, I like her personality, I like to know what she's thinking about. At night, I listen to her voice while I slowly drift away into sleep, hugging a pillow and imagining it's her I'm holding in my arms, to just for a brief moment have at least the illusion of what it might be like to feel loved and having someone to love.
Because interpersonal relationships are literally required for us to function as human beings, there's no amount of therapy or meds that could ever cure the crippling loneliness of having no one. And seeing that one positive thing in your life being taken by someone else, someone who she's closer with than with you, someone she trusts and actually loves, it reminds me of the fakeness of it all, the facade and it evokes envy because he has something I will never have, despite being the only thing I truly want in life.

Tl;dr: I'm not a cuck

>> No.8789773

>>8786794
It's because I know she has another way of financial support, or at least should. She's already set, and she doesn't need *my* support.
I'll use my oshis as examples
I still support watame but that's because she's using the money on her music career (plus the member wallpapers are nice). I don't care for her bf because she doesn't treat us like we're her bf, and there's the proper space between viewer and streamer.
Polka being my other oshi, I enjoy her energy and ups and downs. The saviorfag in me is also drawn, and we've seen how deep rooted the menhera is. If she gets a bf, I will be glad because she honestly needs the support, and I'll be glad for her. But then my role as a viewer would be fulfilled, right? If I know that she'll be alright then I'll find someone else.
If it got leaked that rushia had a bf, there WILL be a notable uptick of suicide rates in japan, I promise you.
I will also add I don't superchat, because the money I intend to give to the person will be split between 3 parties, and I want to give my oshi the best cut. I buy the physical merch and member
TLDR: she doesn't *need* for me to be there, therefore I'll be doing something else

Because I’m not a reddit cuck. It’s possible to have a role in your oshi’s life, depending on how menhera they are. Some of them are heavily dependent on their members/chat for external validation or companionship. Once that role has been fulfilled by a significant other, my role has become irrelevant and it’s time to part ways. This is because once you lose the need for companionship with your viewers, you are now using them solely for financial gain and taking advantage of their loneliness. Of course one could argue that someone could both be emotionally reliant on their viewers in addition to being in a relationship, but I’m personally not a fan of two-timing whores. To put it simply, I want my oshi to be as lonely and mentally ill as me. I truly do care for her and her well-being, but the thought of some real life faggot making her happy makes me irrationally angry.

These idiots actually think they have a chance with any of them.

I would argue that romantic companionship /=/ the support of a viewer. I look at supporting a vtuber the same way you'd support any personality with an online presence, whether they specialize in streaming, music, art etc. You're providing financial support because you enjoy their work and you'd like to see more of it. Like what you said about Watame using the money for her music career.
That said, I do get where your coming from. Even if I really like a tuber, if I know my support isn't needed for them to continue to support themselves, I don't see the need, when there's other vtubers who could use that support instead. I don't like supporting Holo's for that reason. Even though it's most of what I watch and enjoy, I know they're pretty set in terms of income if they're in Hololive, so I'd rather throw that money at an indie or something. I don't think it validates my love for any Holo I watch, though. I just know where my support is needed and where it isn't.

Schizophrenia - A disorder that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. The exact cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role. Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities. Difficulty with concentration and memory may also be present. Treatment is usually lifelong and often involves a combination of medications, psychotherapy, and coordinated specialty care services. tl;dr - it is literally schizoprenia

I understand your perspective, I just think your connection is not "she is like the GFE I want to have", your connection is "she is lonely just like me". And that makes it your problem to deal with because there is nothing she can do for you, because she tries to be something better. Following your dreams, working on yourself, inspiring others - that's what hololive characters are. These characters are not real people, they are idolized versions of what people are like (i.e. Idols). It is up to you whether you want to live through them or be inspired to improve yourself, but there is no way a GFE performance can connect you to the person performing it. This is "wanting to marry a prostitute because she's there for you when you need her" bullshit. Nothing good comes from following that path once you realise that the real people behind the character have real problems that will cut any connection of yours apart if you learn about them. At worst you learn that they are awful people and at best you learn that you cannot deal with their problems.
If this is just candy-coated "I want to be treated like a relationship-partner", enjoy that but don't pretend you feel connected by getting the same treatment as 100 or 1000000 people. The only connection you're feeling is a convincing ruse of an idol being as lonely as you. You know what is an even better connection? Being inspired by your idol into fixing your loneliness by getting an actual girlfriend.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others. A bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target, or a person who is confused may project feelings of confusion and inadequacy onto other people. Projection incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.

Like other defense mechanisms, projection is typically unconscious and can distort, transform, or somehow affect reality. A classic example of the defense mechanism is when an individual says “She hates me” instead of expressing what is actually felt, which is “I hate her.”

There are three generally accepted types of projection:
Neurotic projection is the most common variety of projection and most clearly meets the definition of defense mechanism. In this type of projection, people may attribute feelings, motives, or attitudes they find unacceptable in themselves to someone else.

Complementary projection occurs when individuals assume others feel the same way they do. For example, a person with a particular political persuasion might take it for granted that friends and family members share those beliefs.

Complimentary projection is the assumption other people can do the same things as well as oneself. For example, an accomplished pianist might take it for granted that other piano students can play the piano equally well.

You didn't even try to argue against the rebuttal, you just gave up. Which is understandable since we both know it's true.
But since it seems you aren't actually interested in having a conversation (or perhaps simply lack the mental capability), and you can't acknowledge it, i don't have to be interested in it either, so it's just engaging you on the same level you are already at.

People are curious, and you can see a successful idol as the conclusion of her/his roomate's efforts and achievements. But you are right, you risk burning your fingers and should be enough of a decent enough person to not ruin it for others in the process. This place is generally pretty anti-doxxshit (and that is a good thing) but it is also so popular that it's one of the most viable places to do some damage by posting doxxshit.

If the streamer can keep it separate from their product (the stream), they gain success - and if they can't, they lose success. Simple as.

This only makes sense if you think a chuuba does GFE as a substitute to a relationship.
Then you are just asking for both of you to stay out of relationships when a relationship is exactly what you are both replacing (hence a substitute) and locking yourself out of (hence a poor one).

Then you cannot partake in idol culture and also be interested in physical intercourse, much less have it, neither as a vtuber nor as a viewer. Why would you lock yourself out of a relationship?

Correct, but why would a girl want to have that kind of connection in the first place? The only possible reason I see is "because she doesn't think she could hit it off any better" and that's in most cases simply not true.

I'll put this in another perspective.
The idea of a vtuber as a character entirely divorced from the 'real' person is ridiculous when most of their stories are their real-life experiences run through a thin veneer of kayfabe. Coincidentally, when the 'real person' is tired because she stayed up late, the 'character' is also tired because she stayed up late? When the 'real person' is angry about disrespectful elements of their audience, the 'character' is also angry about disrespectful elements of their audience? If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...
In fact, you might not have been around here back then, but do you remember Gura's first zatsudan? She answered everything almost completely in character. "I'm a shark, I don't know anything about your surface world! Huhaha".
/hlgg/ was absolutely pissed off. It was not how 'things are done'.
If a vtuber goes that route, the fallout from being exposed is minimal. Everyone can tell they are "fake". But because the person behind the character needs material to talk about, in most cases they clearly convey their real feelings and experiences, albeit amplified or made more palatable.
Even then, there is nothing wrong with a relationship - yet. The trouble comes when you express thoughts or make up stories directly contradictory with your real life, when everything else was pulled from there - mixing falsehood, implied or not, with truth. It creates inconsistency.
Fred Rogers' show is particularly relatable because he wrote and directed all his own epsiodes. If Rogers had been found to be a heavy alcoholic who made raunchy and borderline offensive comments in public, while telling children on television that civility and self-respect are fundamentally important, do you think he would have been let off by the public with "well, Mr. Rogers is just a character he plays on TV"?
So, if a vtuber tells the audience that she is 'lonely', when in reality, she isn't, this is something that creates gross dissonance in the perception of the character when it is found out. A lesser example would be waxing poetic to the audience on the painfulness of having no friends when you hang out with them every week, and a grossly more damaging example would be, say, a streamer who claims to be paralyzed spontaneously standing up in the middle of his stream. The believability of the character is heavily damaged, and you can argue until you're blue in the face that it shouldn't be, but that's not how reality works.

That's all in all fair, and I can always appreciate effortposts. This does sound like you are arguing against dishonest chuubas and not against chuubas having relationships, though. I don't think having (had) friends makes you completely unable to convey loneliness authentically - it's common to feel lonely in spite of having had friends. And there are enough menheras out there who are very unrelatable in how they feel about things and yet go over very well. Just having a certain set of life circumstances doesn't mean your feelings about them are utterly unrelatable to someone in different circumstances.
The rest is correct, but you also have to acknowledge that no one is ever going to layout their full life to you. A chuuba's character lives inside your head or the collective set of ideas how a chuuba is like based on the their anecdotes and the sides of them they want to show you. This is a lie by omission and yet I would not consider that deceptive, but pretty much reauired to buy into the idol fantasy. If you destroy that by doubting their character by digging up doxxshit, that's really just the consequences of you expecting the real person to be as idol-izable as the character.

I dont want the hololive Idol they represent to have BF whatsoever or talk about it. They can talk about past dates like Choco but I draw a big fat line if my Oshi talks about a date or a bf that shes having rn. It destroys the connection.
If the roomate has a bf (or gf) cool, im happy for her but dont bring that shit up in your vtuber streams or pull a matsuri and show your nigga bf on screen. I rather have them pretend into the Yuriplay or deny men like Miko or Coco.

I don't argue against vtubers having relationships. I'm sure there are even some who share their plans for dates, the subsequent outcome, and even drag their boyfriend on stream. That is no problem since everything is above-board. (I had a friend who bowed out of a relationship some years ago because this was a deal-breaker - to be fair, the streamer asked him well in advance before it developed into anything serious.)
But impressions about a vtuber aren't formed over just one stream. The vtuber should be well-aware of what misconceptions their audience develops about them, and they should be aware of the backlash if the discrepancy between those misconceptions and the truth becomes known. It's not just a matter of lone actors "seeking the information out", especially after YT has shown it is more than happy to shove doxx into the faces of everyone who has even clicked on the channel once.
There's no 'right' or 'wrong' in this but there are consequences, and the vtuber should take steps to head those off, even obliquely, instead of having the hubris to believe it won't eventually bite them in the ass.
To put it cynically, it's not just about antis, it's also about developing a 'shield'. One hundred antis against ten thousand core fans who feel very strongly about defending their chuuba, because the chuuba has been careful or even emphatic about not developing that sort of relationship with chat, can make it a nothingburger. On the other hand, one hundred antis and ten thousand fans who are like 'eh, I don't really care but I can sorta see why people are angry' will probably lead to a lot of sleepless nights for the chuuba.

Incredibly unrealistic as soon as there are gachikois or saviorfags. Some people will be there almost every stream or write her letters or address her in ways that make her reciprocate a connection. Others will remain anonymous fans.
If this board is to be believed, there was already a somewhat popular indie who fucked one of her oshis.
>she belongs to her fans
I agree with you here only in the platonic sense (which is barely exclusive, anyway). Cheating doesn't exist in a relationship that doesn't fulfill a mutual desire for physical intimacy. You're just staying single for the purpose of a crush you're mistaking for a real romantic connection.
