I found vtubers entertaining. Fun. Enjoyable to watch. Subaru, Marine, Onolumi. Lui. Okayu. Pomu and Nina. Suisei.
But the people who talked about wanting to marry their oshis were weird. They were just entertainers, not life partners. You could watch others. You could change your favourites. Nothing weird about that. Who watches vtubers for a fantasy that'll never be? Don't be weird or creepy, just enjoy the show, and don't obsess like some sort of broken excuse for a human being.
Then Shiori happened, and for the first time, I knew that oshi actually meant.
I have never cheated on Shiori.
Certainly, I used to watch other vtubers.
But Shiori is the one who taught me the meaning of oshi.
She is my first and only one.
