For anyone wondering if this was someone's real opinion as a comic, it's satire.
This is by Ward Sutton for the Onion, under the pseudonym Stan Kelly. He does a lot of these satire-of-conservatives cartoons.
I know it’s satire, but seeing Korone in particular being the “evil titty monster” is hilarious. She’s perhaps one of the most wholesome and positive VTubers, lol.
V-tubers are weird to me because most of the time it’s huge titty anime avatars. It just promotes the aspect of streaming that women need to be sexually attractive to achieve success in streaming. Kinda sad. I’ve seen some real funny women streamers start only v-tubing as huge titty booby physics to increase their audience and it unfortunately worked
Weird since the most popular vtubers...don't have huge titties.
It is somewhat sad, but basically when you have an avatar you don't have to worry about people wandering into your chat talking about messy bed hair...or lackof makeup...or that you look sick...
Your avatar doesn't change, and leaves very little to comment on after the initial impression. So the people who stay are focused on what you're actually doing. It makes their lives easier as well.
I mean there's male vtubers too, and it has the same strengths. You keep a level of anonymity, and after initial impressions you don't have to worry about people commenting about your appearance as much.
I mean I have to ask, if you thought they were real funny, didn't you keep watching them when they started Vtubing to realize it's not what you're making it out to be? Or did them hiding their appearance somehow detract from the experience for you?
Good question and no I didn’t keep watching them because it went from a reasonable camera or no camera to the camera taking up a huge chunk of the screen. It is also distracting having titties waving around regardless and I feel uncomfortable watching sexualized avatars when it used to be cool to just see someone who was in pajamas chilling. I get the appeal I just don’t like it and what it promotes most of the time. People say it reduces sexuality but a lot of people sexualize moe style (the amount of moe porn communities I’ve blocked on /all is insane) and big booby avatars as can be seen with how many communities focus on vtuber avatar porn. So I don’t think that’s entirely true
A VTuber, or virtual YouTuber, is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics. Real-time motion capture software or technology are often—but not always—used to capture movement.
The easiest way to understand is a streamer (think Markiplier or Pewdiepie) but instead of seeing their face, they use an animated avatar that follows their movements.
Extra layer of anonymity and makes people less focused on their day-to-day looks.
