My first experience with vtubers was a couple months ago when Iwas recommended a video with Gawr Gura and all of Myth. Since then I became more and more inerested in this trend.

Ive only been exposed to them via small clips in memes, but I dont really connect with the vtuber space so I never bother with it.

I get my backround noise from this search query.

I hate Hololive and Nijisanji, do not use Twitch and there are only 3-4 EN Vtubers for general content (I do not watch very much general content) I will tolerate and they are oddly all either Indonesian or Filipino.

Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

It makes me feel like ASMR did a few years back: don't really understand what the fuss is about, and seems like most of the popular ones are female, but fans insist it's not sexual

I will admit I got into Vtubers because of ASMR and I have a separate search filter for that, but I won't lie and say that ASMR isn't sexual. It's very sensual in nature.
As for male vtubers. There just aren't any good ones. Like I am listening to this right now (for the lack of something else to listen to, this is a dead time until 9pm-ish)

It's a streamer who wants to be an anime girl, and everyone wants them to be an anime girl.

It feels extremely weird to me.

I enjoy 'em. I think Pomu is the only one I've watched full streams of but that's mostly 'cause of Metal Gear (though Pomu is plenty of fun to watch play wahtever). I do occasionally pop in to watch live but not too often. Mostly various clips (similarly to Pomu I have watched a bunch of Pekora because of Metal Gear).

I enjoy when they're being fun or having fun but all the fawning that people send them is weird and definitely off putting. I'm not to much a fan of ASMR when it turns into focus on being sexy or coy (though if that pays the bills then I guess I don't fault 'em for it too much even if I do find it a little skeevy).

This is the kind of content I have zero tolerance for and what IMO gives vtubers a bad reputation.
I also hate clip channels.

I think it's weird, but people like it and it's not hurting anyone, so I don't see a problem with it.

I'd say that ASMR relies pretty heavily on feelings of intimacy, which isn't necessarily sexual on its own, but there's a lot of overlap between the concepts and heterosexual men in particular are generally going to feel more comfortable settling into that intimate setting with a female voice.

That's also not to say that it can't be sexual, because it 100% can. It just isn't always a sex thing.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? What about a Japanese person doing an english only stream with very limited ability with the english language is going to give vtubers a bad reputation?

If people are into it then good for them. I don't even like face cams in gaming videos and I'm definitely not interested in people talking through anime character avatars. It's dumb and pointless.

And it's just an audio of breathing normally, periodic clicking, and the occasional 30-second burst of typing sounds.

patriciantv uses an avatar when he live streams, though mostly to be funny not sure I'd call him a "vtuber". he's pretty great overall.

it's basically just a mid-point somewhere between 0 and 100 % face reveal.

anonymity helps people come out of their shells, in a way the visual anonymity makes them feel more relatable. whether they like it or not, a usual youtuber's looks help or hurt their channel

people who wouldn't ordinarily become youtubers will become vtubers due to this level of anonymity. look at ina or botan

Using an avatar and calling it a different name are extra steps

Lots of Youtubers never even show their faces, they just narrate their videos

The comment above yours mentaions anonymity . I mean, if gamefaqs were use my real name and photo, i'd rather not post on boards. Just like how vtubers prefer to keep thing anonymous because if people know who they are even by real life voice, they might think twice about streaming and taking the comments non persolly.
