Not a vtuber yet. I've thought up a little bit of lore and have a new PNG from a commissioned artist (no more AI art blob) and I recently figured out how to make it dim when I'm quiet and light up when I start talking, so I guess you could say I've achieved "low-effort PNGtuber" level.
Here's my schedule for next week, btw. Gonna try my first handcam stream on Friday.
But even before I started making a play at this, it seemed pretty obvious to me that the girls would play up their personalities to match what they think the audience wants, and the yuribaiting is certainly a part of that - there just aren't that many genuine lesbians out there. Always take what a streamer says with a grain of salt. Most of them utterly fail to stop themselves from letting their true selves come through most of the time, but at the end of the day they are in control of what goes out on the internet and have a good deal of incentive for a lot of that to be lies and misdirection. This goes for fleshtubers too, of course, but with literal cartoon characters you'd think it'd be a bit more obvious.
