Holos characters have lore. Yes, pretty simple, but still. Do you care about them sticking to their characters and acting like mythical creature/princess/warrior/pirate/etc, or you don't give a fuck?

>> No.5475211

The best is them acting like themselves but using lore when it contributes to or improves the content.

I think lore is important, gives a lot of personality to the chuuba.

I like it when it's consistent and clearly planned.
Unlike Gura who makes shit up on the fly and her lore has more holes than a cartoon cheese, no one cares at this point...

Even regular streamers have their own inside lore, mascots and catch phrases. So why it's weird that a chuuba has them?

I DGAF if they DGAF, but if they actually try to stick to it, I'd want them to be consistent about it.

It is really annoying when it gets shoehorned in though. Like if they're having a totally normal conversion with someone and it's like

"...and then I went back to my hou--- MY DRAGON CAVE where I live because I am a dragon!"

Like, just stop.

On the other hand, it is something to have fun with, so ignoring it completely is also weird. If your artist put in the work to make you something, and you've probably go some pun in your name, and so on, you should probably put at least a little effort into it.

Just be chill and have fun with, like Botan trying to eat Watame when they're playing a cooking game.

Their lore i don't give too much of a shit about, unless they are directly breaking their own lore, like going out of their way to sabotage it
I do like the "personality" they adopt though. CIP seeing Ame from Debut month vs Ame from Alyx stream is like a god damn movie

I think in the beginning of a career it's important but as soon as a vtuber is comfortable streaming it loses it value until needed again for merch but that's only if they don't have their own inside joke like coco butt plugs

>> No.5483670

I think sticking to it too rigidly makes the community toxic honestly. There's just too many stans that go into attack mode when anything "lore breaking" happens like collabs or "IRL" streams

>> No.5483681

>>5475211
If its good your fans will like it even if lore poorly executed, and alternatively, you can tell if its shit when it's poorly received even when its executed perfectly.

Sincerity, and knowing what your fanbase likes are the most important factors for lore.

>> No.5483883

>>5483670
Everyone expects some break in character with collabs. Not even wrestling fans complain about that.
What you described weren't fans, those are just some assholes using that as an opportunity to be assholes. They should be gatekept.

Fuck their lore, especially HoloEN.

There isn't a EN collab where you don't hear about how Kiara doesn't die or Calli is the grim reaper. Always kills the flow of conversation because how do you respond beside "aha right you are some mythical being".
