"Yeah, f**k the normies, they don’t get it, we’re not all like this. I agree. But sponsors, businesses, academics, they’re all going to start asking, “What’s the deal with this VTubing thing anyway? Why is there so much controversy around it and politics?”"
Why Valens think that this is going to have such a great impact on Vtubing?. If some mass shooter was a fan of Marilyn Manson, no one will act like he supported this acts, and more importantly, the music scene will not be in danger, the fuck????
I think the problem with Valens is that, for some reason, she thinks people are going to judge ALL OF VTUBING because of some weirdo.
That is a reflection of this political operator belief of the "general vtuber community" that doesn't exist instead of understanding, like most people, that multiple subgroups exist separated from each other, and who common characteristic is using a virtual avatar and that is. What some subgroup does doesn't affect others.
