This whole think with Cali/Karen sort of made me realize why I like the Corpo way of keeping the Vtuber and the Roommate completely separated (I think GirlDM is the only Indie I really follow). I'm just here for some lighthearted entertainment, and because I work with mainly dudes, a bit of estrogen, (not looking for GFE, I just want to listen to something softer). And while I'm not a fan of actual idol culture where they have to be 'pure', I do like the idea of watching someone somewhat 'seiso'. Which is where the Vtuber/Roommate split comes in. Lets take Ina for example, I haven't watched her recently but I remember back when she debuted her Moderator the Ancient One was in the chat, I'm still convinced that it was her roommates boyfriend. But here's the thing that was the Roommates Boyfriend, to Ina it's just a book.
I guess for me it boils down to this: If Karen/DemonDice was to announce that she was still shacking up with AO, I'd be happy for her, and I'd still tune into her streams. If Calli were to start talking about the same thing, then yeah I'd most likely stop watching, because that's not what I'm looking for out of that parasocial relationship.
