What do your friends and family think about your vtuber obsession?

>> No.77495453

There hasn't really been an opportunity to bring it up. Realistically, even if it wasn't vtubers, how often do your friends and family ask "So what streamers have you been watching?" People in the real world don't give a fuck about that shit.

I'm not sure how or why my friends and family would know what kind of youtube streamers I watch. Doesn't come up in conversation and I don't volunteer it. My friend group is all centered around stuff like golf and hiking, so that's what we talk about.
I've been going to a lot of Hololive events and stuff lately but I just say I'm going on a trip, that's something I already do all the time so nobody thinks it's weird.

If my parents try to shit on it i just bring up the type of music they like and the lyrics that they contain since they are catholic. Also shit on my mom cus she is always depressed and i blame it on all the drama she loves so much while im happier than ever.

One of them is a depressed mess since his wife is extremely controlling so he cant say shit and the other one was playing tohou and DDR in early 2000's

I only really consider those i trust my friends so i can think of 2 people. The girl thought Luna was cute (i showed her Roboco 3D live) but Roboco was even cuter and the dude is an anime tard so he knew about holo but has no interest in vtubers.

I've never mentioned it to them, because it's super awkward to bring up anything you like to someone unfamiliar with it. Like playing a song or something, and they just have to sit there until it's over, then comes the uncomfortable silence. And at best, you'll get "Yeah, that was pretty cool I guess."
So I just don't bother. I know them well enough to know there's very little chance they'd be interested, and even then, not by much.

I'm a female Holostars fan and my family thinks the concept of vtubing is amusing, but aren't that interested in it. My parents are/were gamers, but mostly play casual mobile stuff nowdays like Pokemon Go, Pikmin, etc

I'd ideally like a bf who is also interested in Hololive/anime/games, but the only men who approach me are normie-types. My normie ex and I went to Japan last year, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted since he didn't have any interest at all in the culture, my hobbies, or the country in general.

I took my dad to see Dokibird at Anime North. I figured he would enjoy the experience because he is an oldtime weeb and the first time I introduced him to VTubers he responded really well to Selen. At that time he kept asking me if every other Vtuber I was showing him was her. I think him being a big wrestling fan didn't hurt in ingratiating him via Wreslesanji. As for the convetiion, he told me it was a wonderful birthday present, tho I didn't exactly intend it that way.

As for my mom, I kind of deepdived into Dokibird's saga with her. Usually she just nods and smiles at me waxing autistic to her about something, but to my surprise she actually seemed to resonate with her uncrushable entrepreneurial spirit in the face of adversity as a small business owner.

That's not how you're supposed to share a song you like. Either you link it to them so they can listen when you're not around, or you just casually play it in the background while they're around, and don't be afraid to talk over it. You don't just sit there listening in silence like a weirdo.

They think it's just an evolved form of cartoons like Heidi or Captain Tsubasa, the stuff they used to watch when they were kids. They are not interested in VTubers because there's no "scenes", there's no transitions, it's just like a talk-show for them at best so they just go and watch soap operas or series instead because they think anime is cartoons and thus for kids and thus they don't watch it anymore because "They are not kids anymore".
Overall made things easier because there's no conflict about it.

I bought a Biboo keychain for my mom. She thought it was adorable. I showed her a bit of a Biboo stream and she thought the real thing was adorable too. My dad and sibling don't get it but don't seem particularly worried about me.
I was afraid to bring it up with any friends for the longest time (despite my entire friend group being mildly weeb), then I told my buddy about it today and he thought it was cool.
It's not really that cringe, everyone understands that people watch other people playing video games on Youtube and everyone understands that maybe some of those people wouldn't want to show their real faces to the world.

My Dad generally doesn't like anime crap. His oshi is Alex Jones and he wishes I would start being into politics instead.
I got my sister to be a Gura casual. Gura's pace of streaming is perfect for her. She watches maybe one or two streams a month and occasional clips. She also likes Ame, but doesn't really watch her streams. I usually watch some concerts, like Holofes, with her too.
Most of my friends are anime fans but they think vtubers are weird simp shit, but they're fine with it. They got me some hololive stuff for my birthday.
