Admit you have a partner but say they’re the same sex as you. Chat would get off on it.
Yurifags are as bad as feetfags. They are a tumor in the community as a whole.
Have you seen some of the most popular content creators of all time? a lot of them have a known BF and they still get a lot of money from their audience, specially the ones with an OnlyFans where they get railed by said BF, it may come down to what audience they go after and the type of content they make.
I think you're mixing the general audience with cuckchair owners, nigga.
That being said, I'm going to disagree with a surprising number of people here by saying it's completely acceptable for a chuuba to lie in response to questions like this. Chuubas are playing characters after all; it's totally legitimate for them to play that character and give a response which is more appealing than the truth. If you can't accept that and expect your oshi to be completely honest with you while streaming, go watch a fleshtuber instead. Oh, wait, no, they lie and misrepresent and put on a show for the camera too, don't they?
"Oh, but what if it gets found out they lied?" Then the people who can't figure out what the game is here will get assmad, I guess. They will get filtered away and everyone else who either understands that this is all just a 21st-century puppet show will keep having fun.
Now I'm gonna counter that argument: how much of it is acting?
I know some chuubas that are completely into the character, but there's a degree of characterization that streamers ignore or just get tired of, stop larping and wear the L2D/3D model as their own skin, becoming their own with a new shade of paint.
This happens everywhere, we talk a lot about "dropping the act" during BraveHoloSanji debuts because that shit is insufferable.
The only cases of proper characterization from the top of my head are Fuwamoco (Holo), Salome (Niji) and let's say Fillian (indie) for the sake of completionism. They do not bring their personal life as a topic in a form you could relate to or build a profile over it, this is very clear in Fillian's case that you can see her numberfagging streams in her alt, she sounds like another person completely.
If you're on character most of the time, sure, become that character, show the world the character and destroy your ego, but that's a huge cross that many women do not want to carry: it's a responsibility and a burden before your audience that expects you to keep that up, and if you can't keep that up, it's better to not say anything, ever. That's how you slip and that's how simps become antis.
I'm with Lurker,
just don't lie, it's that simple. Silence is always an option and if you think people are being intrusive, add it to the rules and start warning/banning.
Following, if you let that kind of shitter around that's where your community will never grow, because they are making others feel uncomfortable, so they'll just click away, even if they like you.
