The Vtuber Commentary Community

[Keniisu]

In recent months there have been a lot of relatively new faces in the vtuber commentary community. Like it or not, these people are starting to become quite a significant force in terms of market influence. I see them frequently on my timeline now, and they're discussed quite often on both the forum and TVA's Discord.

I've also been contacted by several of these individuals in the past. As it stands, TVA has decent links with the Under the Tea Podcast, and I've appeared on their show once as of the time of writing.

Many commentary vtubers are, to be frank, pretty stupid. For example, Mujin refers to the Kenji fanbase and orbiters as a 'vtuber agency' in the title of his video, which is so blatantly wrong it's hilarious. Others are more reliable and do better research. I would like to structure this thread so that it serves as both a catalogue of vtuber commentary channels, and also running commentary on their merits, demerits, biases and ways they can improve.

I do not like lies, misinformation, propaganda. I do like well-informed commentary, comedy and analysis. If there is a way I can promote the latter while making it harder to create the former, I am happy to do so.

What this thread is for:

• Frank and open discussion of vtuber commentators and their communities.
• Critique and feedback of their videos.

What this thread is not for:

• Meaningless 'fuck FalseEyeD, omg I would turn Rima Evenstar into my pet showpony and feed her oats' posting.
• Pointless lamentation that 'normies' are infiltrating the vtuber community and giving dumb takes. WE KNOW THAT ALREADY.
