Again, this thread is the best thread on the site and Proctor's greatest gift to his inmates. Imagine if even half, nay, a quarter of this bizarre goonery were in the general thread. God Bless the Hexagon

Atleast i'm not filipino :gunpeko:
Comparing yourself to a flip is like comparing yourself to chris chan. Like yea you are better, but it doesnt take a lot to be better than him, and if that is comforting you, and you go out of the way to yell that out to world, you are probably not, like most of Chris' a-logs.

My instinct was to say no after my fucking insane 2023. But then I remembered why I watch vtubers and that is because all other media has turned to shit and I am too lazy to play video games these days.

TV and Movies
- hate you
- Tells you what you should enjoy
- Disrespect your money
- Retarded (disrespectful)

Vtubers
- Like you
- Make content you enjoy
- Respect your money
- Retarded (affectionate)

Seeing the banter about parasocials and meltdowns, something been in my mind lately: would you be into this hobby if you were mentally stable and/or if your life were going on stable rails?
I don't mean to out yourselves but we don't need to lie, the autistic sampling in vtubing is astronomically high, from both parties.

For me, I would probably be less invested, but would always be up in my downtime if schedules match.
I'm in a really good place. Extremely stable job, healthiest I've been as an adult, not much to complain about. I suppose it's true that my location and career doesn't let me meet new people, but it's never bothered me.

But before I watched vtubers, going back to 2017 to 2020 I watched normal streamers, and that was a time when I didn't have a good job yet and was only working 25h a week part time. I don't think that was too messy mentally, so much as easy to get stuck and just not make any progress. And even farther before that, I was huge into gaming and anime, and gaming actually ruined my life several times, despite also being a social hobby for me.



I personally think time is the big deciding factor. Like, can you schedule out 3-7 hours of your day to catch a vtuber live? Is it as fun to just put on their vods or do you lose some of the experience? What if it's 5-7 hours of gameplay you have no interest in? Wouldn't it just be easier to jump timestamps, or watch clips? Or just browse a forum for highlights other people bring up? Can you catch up on the toilet at work without watching a video at all?

When I was big into video games I'd literally play 20 hours, sleep 4 hours, and then play 20 more hours. I'd binge watch 48-episode shows. When I got into streamers I could watch someone online half the day and still have time to look for someone else after they went offline. These days, yeah, I like vtubers, but there's absolutely zero chance I can catch someone I like live, or even follow them close enough to know what they're up to... unless their schedule times and stream length exactly matches my free time. And I'm lucky that one of my favorites does have the perfect schedule for me. But yeah, it boils down to time, and I could see myself being pushed out of the hobby entirely if I had one more thing going on.



That's not what you were asking about, but I think viewers like me are actually way more common than people who are... idk how to phrase it, dependent (?) on vtubing?

My impression of anime (this was between five and ten years ago) was that it heavily catered to wish fulfilment fantasies of teenage boys. Lots of faInservice, action, and way too much Isekai stuff. Maybe some stuff for girls, but I wasn't really looking at that side of the industry. There was not much in the way of anime intended for adults, with adult ideas and adult concepts, especially new stuff. Still, not much doesn't mean there wasn't anything, so I did find a few classic anime shows and movies I love, and a bunch more I like to various degrees.

I haven't really been paying attention for the last five years, though. It's probably really deteriorated since then. But catering to teenage wish fulfilment fantasy at least shows you understand what one particular segment of your audience wants and that you're happy to give it to them, even if, at its worst, did feel quite cynical, pandering and rote.

It's definitely on the decline, but even so, it's still miles ahead of the video game and tv/movie industry.

This is good animation but the subject matter is horrifying so I don't know what sticker to give this.
