/vt/, do you think Vtubers will become mainstream within western society any time soon?

>> No.2089061

no, next

>> No.2089118

Soon? no
Eventually? maybe

>> No.2089126

>>2089027
No and i hope they won't ever. Things never work out , when niche things go mainstream.

>> No.2089147

You do realize Vtubers are already mainstream in Japan, right Anon?

No. Not even Hatsune Miku became that mainstream and she's been on national television

This is already too fucking mainstream, lots of people here don't even like anime

>> No.2090387

>>2089027
not mainstream but a popular counter/subculture yes

One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things does not belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time we finish our song

>> No.2090587

>>2090387
this anon gets it. Something with this niche an appeal can never become truly massive, however it can become a significant enough subculture that its referenced in pop culture, and generally known about, like Anime currently is.

>> No.2090894

>>2090587
yeah like cult classic movies and other things like it
the real normies who are the 9-5 work drones with 2.5 kids and a divorce wont fucking understand or care to care about this but those who use nerd shit or weeb shit or nieche shit as a way to appear to have real separate personality while they work their shitty part times and go to collages will probably pick up on it

>> No.2090978

As much as I want them all to grow, hopefully not, normalfaggots are a blight and are unironically worse than even the worst posters here

>> No.2091074

>>2089027
I think it has potential, but it won't be vtubers from Japanese agencies. Some western agency with funding from a giant media company might be able to break into the mainstream.

>> No.2091127

I actually think culturally, it will just be looped in as an off-shoot of anime.

>> No.2091313

>>2091127
mostlikely this we (the royal we/ the collective of vtuber enthusiasts) are going to be seen as the anime of streamers , just like how vocoloids are anime but with singers and VNs are just anime but a textbased game

>> No.2091456

This picture really shows off how utterly shitty Nijisanji is. All the dead weight, the horrible uninspired character designs, the random animals, no cohesive theme. I hate it so much.

>> No.2091617

>>2091456
its the problem of oversaturation the characters arnt that bad unless you look at shonen all day but next to each other the "diverse" cast works to make them unremarkable in the way that a the colors of a rainbow are unremarkable next to each other

I already seeing hololive reference in worldnews post and shit like nasa one and state of secretary called the T word

They aren't. Subaru keeps trying to bring herself up to her other normie friends and they have no clue what a vtuber is.
