God I love burnout failgirls 🤤
most vtubers just kinda make me uncomfortable. Even the ones that don’t pretend to be children make my skin crawl.
I find the only tolerable ones are the subgenre of queer/furry/ND ones that use the Vtuber model as a mask rather than a personality, tbh
Pretty sure there are Vtuber avatars covering every single anime waifu subcategory including “oneesan”
You’d would probably have a really hard time finding black or brown avatars though
Almost all of the popular ones are clearly, clearly coded as schoolgirls. Easily the most popular one was Pikamee and she was quite nearly a loli.
The target audience of the vast majority of anime are schoolboys so this shouldn’t exactly be that surprising?
Of course there’s a significant 20-40 incel audience as well which is pandered to. But given the largest market for anime is “shonen” (literally meaning young boys) I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to say this is probably the largest audience of vtubers as well.
The Disney channel isn’t making shows with adults as the lead characters either. They’re always teens because the target audience is teens.
Disney generally isn’t in the business of sexualising their underage protagonists with panty shots, revealing outfits and jiggle physics though
These are vtubers we’re talking about. Evaluating serial shonen manga or whatever is a little bit different.
I think the biggest anime is technically Hello Kitty, but that’s a little off topic.
Disney isn’t selling figurines of schoolgirls with highly-detailed upskirts.
Not to dispute your general point, but I never got the impression she was anywhere near the most popular. Pretty well-known, sure (not an expert on vtubers though)
I’m just saying that every type of anime woman an otaku could have a boner for is represented somewhere
It was my understanding that she was, but maybe it was just that she was so much bigger than the other people within the company she was signed to. She’s not the worst, there are others like Kurone or the shark girl or . . . well, genuinely most of the ones with any audience are schoolgirl coded. I’ve only seen a handful that aren’t.
She had several models. Only one of them looked like a child as far as I could tell.
Off of the top of my head, the only VTubers with brown avatars I can think of are Ironmouse (Puerto Rican) who has a few models with tan toggles, Sylphy (German voice actress who is (half-something?)), and Scarle (half-Mexican, half-Filipino). Unless there’s some super popular Nigerian VTuber or something that I just wouldn’t have crossed paths with, I genuinely don’t think there is a single prominent VTuber with a black avatar, although obviously black VTubers exist. It’s hard enough being black in the anime community (see: anime nerds flipping their shit whenever a black person dares post cosplay photos), but I’d guess it’s even worse in the VTuber community. Plus there’s the added difficulty of finding an artist who will actually make you a black avatar and not just a generic anime avatar with dark skin.
I want to watch a vtuber whose persona is a chain-smoking short-tempered old woman with a whisky flask at the ready.
A vtuber that is a real character and not a waifu would be amusing. I’ve wondered about if anyone will do a “Nyarlethotep plays” where they are a horrible mass of mouths and tentacles holding a controller and playing, like, Rayman or something.
Milfs are a distinctly leftist category. Schoolgirls exist as a fantasy for the right and here in my Ted talk I will…
Porn brainworms are gaslighting grown-ass men into believing they have a milf fetish for liking women their own age whereas the generic normal preference for 40-something men is to to be with 20-something girls.
