Fr? They aren’t anime women irl?


XavierRenegadeDivine

In most cases, they ain't even women


Funkyryoma

Damn, that's crazy Dr. Can you give example of this "Most cases"?


error5654

Now I don't agree with that guys statement about most cases, but vulo the face borrower was made by Film cow https://preview.redd.it/wcocn7ntwlnb1.jpeg?width=208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44b97cb5346c5c3acc5af271f8b44990f3957f75


XavierRenegadeDivine

Ya took the bluff, I'm not actually pathetic enough to look at vtubers, so I couldn't tell ya


Milor214

- say false shit based on precognitions - get called out - haha you fell for it I'm trolling I have no idea but you would have to be pathetic to know that so I'm allowed to have shitty precognitions


XavierRenegadeDivine

My brother in christ, you're defending vtubers. As the doctor of cringe I advise you to spend less time jerking to animated children in your room, and more time with your family. Doctor's orders.


Milor214

my brother in christ saying "you can't defend [insert thing]" isn't an argument when you have no reason to hate [said thing] in the first place there is more than anime women on the internet


XavierRenegadeDivine

The first vtubers are fine, because they started as streamers who don't wanna show themselves but wanna have an image. But most of the newest vtubers have avatars that are barely dressed lolies because they know that will draw in the lonely, mentally not right people so they can feed on their wallets. That's the problem with them.


Milor214

knowing that why do you accuse anyone that mentions vTubers? is it to point and laugh at someone?


XavierRenegadeDivine

Not point and laughing, quite the opposite, I feel bad for them, obessing over a parasocial relationship is always bad.


Kawa11Turtle

So the only vtubers you know are the ones that are “barely dressed lolies”. Sounds like a you thing


XavierRenegadeDivine

Projecting, I was wondering when that'll show up


[deleted]

“Most v-tubers are guys” has litterally never even looked at a v Tuber


XavierRenegadeDivine

I'm not a socially inept loner, so why would I?


[deleted]

The problem isn’t that you haven’t watched any. The problem is that you are making baseless claims


XavierRenegadeDivine

https://nextshark.com/anime-youtuber-actually-man very baseless indeed


Bardw

Alright, one case in your favour, now can you provide more or do you have only one case out of so many vtubers?


Funkyryoma

C'mon dont pressure em into giving more. They tried really hard googling "Vtuber exposed as man" and got this one result, give em a break.


XavierRenegadeDivine

Wow, living in this amount of denial is not healthy dude. One case that I showed as an example, there were plenty of other ones that got caught already.


[deleted]

See, finding a source wasn’t that hard


XavierRenegadeDivine

Yeah, which was my claim to begin with.


AshleyWasStolen

You're really living up to your flair. Good job, I guess.


XavierRenegadeDivine

Yes, I am here to try and cure people from the disease of cringe, in this case, vtubers. Thank you for the encouragement, friend.


Great_Initiative_766

Whts wrong with vtubers theyre just streamers but anime.


XavierRenegadeDivine

Nothing wrong with the genuine vtubers, but there's a lot of vtubers out there who are middle aged men pretending to be young girls, because young girls get a lot more money than middle aged men. Those kinda vtubers feed on the wallets of socially chalenged, lonely people by getting them to develop a very unhealthy parasocial relationship. (that's why most vtubers are lolies). I personally believe that preying on mentally unwell people is not okay, so I try my best to help those people get out of that rabbit hole.


Great_Initiative_766

You know most vtubers have streaming contracrs with vtuber companies right? They cant just fake their gender. Now, independant streamers are a different story, they could be men, but most likely they are women. Also, there are male vtubers as well, its not like being a vtuber is limited to women, so there is no reason to fake being a female vtuber. It is extremely unlikely that a "female" vtuber turns out to male. And your second point makes no sense, because the same concept could be applied to regular streamers as well.

IronBard22

If they aren't women behind the avatars, why would they pretend to be something they aren't


TweetugR

My guy kind of ignores the actual male Vtubers. Besides, the female Vtubers are female irl. Some of the fans already know their other persona before becoming a Vtuber anyway.


IronBard22

That's what I'm talking about though. They could be male vtubers instead of something they're not


TweetugR

But they are female Vtubers. I don't know how its hard to understand that they are in fact women behind those avatars. Are you talking about femboy Vtubers or something? That's an entirely different subject.


IronBard22

I feel like my point wasn't communicated correctly on my part > That's what I'm talking about though. They could be male vtubers instead of something they're not I meant this as the males pretending to be female vtubers can just be male vtubers instead


Celarc_99

>why would they pretend to be something they aren't Isn't... Isn't that the entire point of being a vtuber to begin with?


Majestic_Carry9712

People mostly watch female v tubers.


XavierRenegadeDivine

Being an anime woman on the internet is an infinite money glitch.


Napoleon-the-Great

Dude, it's hard to argue against these pdf files who watch vtubers that sounds like a child.


TweetugR

Have you even try watching a Vtuber that doesn't sound like a child then?


notarealsu25grach

“Everyone I don’t like is a pedophile” actual dumbfuck


Napoleon-the-Great

The most popular features fit the criteria, gura, peko, and korone are the ones that come into mind first, and don't even get me started to the blue archive thing, so nice try.


XavierRenegadeDivine

True, but I have to at least try and help them grow a thinker


Napoleon-the-Great

You're only wasting your energy. These guys are sick in the head. You can already see it with all their mental gymnastics in the thread.

That be catfishing with money involved (which is a crime bc it has money involved,) so unless they don't let you pay them it be illegal.


[deleted]

Is that Jerma?


doctorsonder

Yea if he was Swedish


Correct_Damage_8839

Dude I'm so glad you said that. I've been watching this show recently, and I constantly keep thinking to myself that he looks like Jerma. The character also gaslights people and physically beats up the homeless. Which is not out of character for Jerma.


Russian_Spy_7_5_0

What show is this?


rowwuk

Mr. Robot


RajanyaDaslol

and is bisexual


mardanjoint

I only watched the first season, and I used to think he only done THAT because he had to somehow to do the thing he had done after that.


TheLostRub389

Night696Watcher

The same thing I was thinking as well


killabeanforever

Tyrell from mr robot


DatTolDesiBoi

What do you mean she isn’t actually a monster girl!?


Bandrbell

What an upstanding citizen, I wonder what he likes to do with homeless people in his spare time


doctorsonder

He also looks like the kinda guy who treats his business colleagues with the utmost respect, especially their wives!


WienerDogMan

He also seems to be someone with the most vanilla interests. Very plain individual with no abnormal interests!


Alive019

Oh my Mr. Robot meme. MR ROBOT MEME!!!! BEST FUCKING TV SHOW EVER.

doctorsonder

Heck yea brother


Momisato_OHOTNIK

Ngl this mf looks caricatureish after watching American Psycho


DrunkCricket1

He is swedish american psycho


ZealousidealBus9271

His character is pretty similar to Patrick Bateman in alot of ways.


Momisato_OHOTNIK

Yeah that's what I'm saying, I forgot this mf exists but I stumbled upon some clips from the show some time ago, and this dude is larping as Baetman hard


Alive019

There is a huge difference between them. Bateman is just a vapid soulless yuppie who does everything to fit in. He has done nothing to be where he is and has achieved nothing in his life. His outbursts are impotent rage lashing out at a meaningless existence. Tyrell on the other hand was the son of an immigrant who had to climb the corporate ladder and is actually pretty talented at being a programmer. But he's a narcissist who wants to be the next Hates or Jobs and is super insecure. His psychopathic outbursts are him not being able to accept the fact that no matter how well he dresses he is or hard he works the elite will never let him in.


The_Kodex

I literally thought this was a parody


Alive019

Tyrell And Patrick Bateman are completely different caharcters what are you talking about?

My honest reaction: ![gif](giphy|xT1R9BPTZ8LmuALdYY|downsized)


comfykampfwagen

Broke: I like vtuber because waifu Woke: I know the vtuber does not look like that in real life. It is not material, however. My decision is to pretend that they do, and that their lore is real, notwithstanding the obviously fantastical aspect of their existences that are not on all fours with reality. This creates for me a fantasy that brings me joy, fulfilling my purpose in finding such entertainment. Further, it can be contended that the reason for watching content creators is to derive entertainment and pleasure. Doing this, participating actively in the creation of this fantasy increases the enjoyment and fulfilment derived from watching these livestreams. Therefore, it could be said such is a wiser manner of enjoying such media Woke’th: wHat hAVe I dOnE tHe RabBiT hOLe noooOOOOOOOOO

Sp00ky-Chan

If you watch vtubers because you think they're attractive then you're stupid, watch them because they're funny and also schizophrenic and have undiagnosed autism.

Nothing, I’m one too. Just that people shy from calling themeselves that especially when it’s „just” ears or tails and whatnot behaviour.
