Is it really deadpan delivery if its literally everything being said under all contexts in the same monotonous robovoice.

Like deadpan only works as a juxtaposition against something else, its not funny if the person is literally incapable of emoting.

Pic related. The character is sex and nobody else is going to get their hands on it.
I have tuned in to xher streams before and the most unpleasant thing wasn't the TTS, it stopped grating after a while. The shit part was the constant PING BING PING BING SCREAM HONK of the sub notification and bits shit. But I guess that's the high viewercount twitch experience.

Once upon a yesteryear, before the trans rights movement went super saiyan, a particularly big flavor of the week thing to panic about used to be that if transexuals got normalized you'd have a bunch of men putting on dresses to infiltrate women's bathrooms and legally get away with doing evil. It was silly, but mostly only manifested in combat sports. I'm facetiously comparing Zentrya to that. It's the tranny in the girl's bathroom. Standing there. Menacingly

coomers don't have standards for good vtuber character designs. zentreya is also unironically the only vtuber that i've ever seen that looked better in 3d than in their 2d rig. i have no idea how they can stand it.

Zen is so fucking boring I could actually watch paint dry and be more entertained. The TTS voice kills it for me, especially because we have to wait five minutes in between each reply so the conversations are the most awkward hamfisted things on the planet for collabs.
From my understanding Zen is popular because of their gimmick, a right-place-right-time thing. They're not the only mute or TTS-tuber but they pioneered it.


Either way it filters the fuck out of me, and I will never watch their content or any collabs they participate in ever.

I tried to watch the streams on a couple of occasions but I just get too filtered by the competing male and female TTS voices talking over each other while the BGM clashes with the megadeth notification guitar riff.
