Streamer culture and Vtuber culture.

Some aspects of streamer culture I get, I do not understand vtuber culture. Youtube started recommending one to me because apparently played a video game I like and watch videos about, and…as far as I can tell her job is to be professionally sexually harassed. Like, men used to whistle at showgirls in saloons, now they throw virtual acorns at anime girls to “nut on” them.

Fun part is her mom apparently found out, and participates.

vtubers are just ugly people. they know they won’t get as many views if they showed their real face, so they use an avatar.

Why are people down voting this?
Show threadDaftyduxMar 6
Because we are all just tubes of meat and, barf.

Because it’s blatantly wrong. Many high profile vtubers have had their faces on stream or leaked and they are usually average to way above average looks and often get more views on their IRL content.

I almost feel bad for laughing at this.

This is how I know I’m old now; what little I’ve ever seen or read seems utterly stupid and vapid to me. “Oh, just watch Flimdiflub6g for 1 hour, you’ll get it!” No, no I don’t think I will.

I can count the number of streamers I’m a fan of on three fingers, and the number of Vtubers I can even name on one

Oh, looks like I found mine.

I know nothing about both but since I suspect vtubbbing brached from anime subcultures I kinda get why they did.

Streamer though, I weirdly should be their demographic but I’m not.

I’m an avid gamer, I follow youtuber since vlog brother/smosh era, so I witness Pewds rise to fame but never find any joy in watching it live.

Like SovietWomble, his bullshitery series is top notch entertainment, I’ve rewatched the Arma and CS series multiple time, despite never played either one. Still didn’t like watching it live.

I think because it’s similar with the one with celebrities. I just don’t care with the parasocial aspect of it.

I have no idea what the difference between those labels are.
Show threadAceFuzzLordMar 7
I was gonna make a comment about the differences before I realized I couldn’t tell you the difference between them outside of how they choose to represent themselves.

Vtubers are people pretending to be anime girls

Vaginas tubers?

Vtubers are a subset of streamers, they are subject to all the same drama and content. People just like to separate them because, similar to anime, there are many people who watch vtubers but don’t watch ogher streamers.

I don’t watch the streams or vods but the clips are funny/entertaining
