      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.

      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.

      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.
