Like honestly, I don't get it. Why do you people watch someone that uses an anime skin instead of a regular person on camera? I mean it's okay if you like watching VTubers, you could be watching worse, but like why this? Is it like a fetish for you guys or something?

Given how they're not revealing their identities, it allows them to be freer with how they want to portray themselves. One tends to be less inhibited with anonymity, and it allows more introverted personalities to glow more.

One can improve on their art, their singing, their rap, their humor.

Also turtle house.

I imagine they appeal to the same people that go around talking about waifus

^ Eh not really. I enjoy anime and find vtubers fucking weird and offputting

Watching female facecam streamers who use sex appeal to get their audience
Watching female streamers behind female avatars who use their voice to get their audience

I wonder which one wins.

It makes me unsettled tbh. I'm not gonna completely write soneone off for watching that stuff. But there's probably gonna be some huge disconnect in how we view the world lol

I don't even get why people watch hot just fot being hot chicks. People just like being blue balled? I dunno.

From the clips I've seen here and there, I think the way the character moves is kind of funny (really exaggerated movements). I wouldn't specifically seek it out though.

You get the closest thing to anime characters in real life, usually with a good personality or are very entertaining in the case of Vtubers employed by agencies or groups and some indies like Uto or Snuffy.

probably the same one that makes people simp for chicks on twitch, only it gives the unattractive women a chance to get in on the action as well

if we could harness the collective cash flow of lonely dudes on the internet, we could probably cure cancer, or at least figure out how to make teslas drive themselves

Same appeal as watching anyone else on YouTube, at least for me. I watch people's videos out of interest in what they have to say, not what they look like.

A lot of Vtubers openly allow/encourage people to draw lewds of them, so... close enough.
