MODERATORS
Streamers but instead of a face cam they have sometime's elaborate 3d models created that look like anime girls, and track with their actual body movements.
As others have said they can frequently look like young girls, but in my limited experience the ones that are leaning into the sexual aspect in any way are obviously adult models, and the ones that look younger are more silly and goofy
Imagine a streamer but instead of facecam, they import their VR chat model to the facecam
A livestreamer digital puppet. Popular in parts of Asia. Most often depicted as young girls.
Virtual Potato
virtual tuba
Parasocial black holes
False, child labor is illegal
VTubers aren't kids. Their avatars are.
Technically there's no way to know if they hide their identity and use a voice changer, but I was mainly joking
Idk if you are allowed to do jokes on a shitpost comm
Being edgy by pedojaketing people...
I don't get it
They're saying that the only reason vtubers aren't flipping burgers is because pedos give them enough money to stream instead of "getting a real job"
Yea I figured it out sadly, lol
Yeah people suck sometimes. Especially considering the vtuber in question is a grown woman who has told multiple stories of people mistaking her for a child so it wouldn't matter if she was doing regular face camera stuff because people like that would still say that it's pedos that are why she's popular and not that she's genuinely funny or entertaining.
Oh...
