You're not being serious. You're posting shit bait that someone tries every week. But you've trolled me hard with it, so you can fuck off now.

Usually, you're pretty level-headed so I'm not sure what your intentions were when posted here.
If you are serious, then this only appropriate response:

This bait line went out of style years ago, but on the very sad chance you actually think this then go do literally the smallest modicum of research, or, alternatively, backflip off a drydock (in Minecraft).

Alright I'll fuck off then, I was actually trying to get an understanding of what the fuck the appeal of this shit would be outside of fetish material. Oh well. I don't want to be responsible for someone necking themselves because I said watching vtubers is brain rot. Best of luck, hope you move on from this shit.Usually, you're pretty level-headed so I'm not sure what your intentions were when posted here.

If ur serious, we already know the people behind most of not all the major corporate vtubers. None are middle age dudes pretending to be anime girls, a few are close to middle age women tho. The appeal for me is that a year of covid lockdowns, blm riots and the us election has me seeking escapism.
If you wanna be cynical, vtubers are introverts who aren't confident enough to be an normal streamer so they hide behind an avatar. They need to be actually entertaining or talented in some way cus they can't cheat with good looks or by showing titties. Everyone has an attractive avatar which evens the playing field and gives the plain Janes with some talent a chance.

thank you. Went through /vt/ found links and screens. To sound like a sap:
though, I hate navigating bilibili. Supposedly archives are going on a different account but the boards are just as not sure
when you have huge badonkadonks like Noel or Coco, why not stack the game in your favor amirite?

Many have amazing looking rigging or show anime titties but are still boring as fuck, case in point Artemis Blue or whatever the tranny shark's name is and a few of the Vshojo girls or English indies.

For real though, how hard is "Streaming, but you're playing an animated character and not showing yourself off" hard to grasp?

Of the small number of popular male vtubers and male vtuber-affiliated-streamers I think Merry has become one of my favs to watch. Looks like he had a pretty busy day today lol

>What is wrong with you disgusting freaks
>Why are you mean to me I was just asking questions out of genuine curiosity to understand your hobby
I don't understand this pattern. I can't even call it trolling because trolls shouldn't backtrack. Maybe there should be a FAQ of some sort for the extremely low hanging fruit questions. I don't blame people who come in here asking wtf is going on because it is a weird and new niche thing but still. I think the bad rep comes from mostly ENVtuber degeneracy on twitter that is adjacent to lolcow circles and not even close to representative of the industry as a whole, which is dominated by corporate vtubers who are a different beast all together. The type of literally-who vtweeter that kiwifarmers might know gets 0-100 live viewers compared to the 10k live viewers that corporate vtubers get every day.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Here's some questions that get asked all the time:
>Are they all actually men with voice changers?
All the popular ones are the gender they portray themselves as. There are male and female vtubers. Female vtubers are generally more popular. Getting away with faking your gender is very difficult to achieve for long periods of time, even with an anime avatar. Viewers already knew the streamer known as Noracat was a fat dude before the infamous video "outed" him. Nobody was tricked.
Some men do use female avatars, but they don't try to hide anything. They're called babiniku.
>Are they all Japanese?
The biggest ones are Japanese but there are bilingual and exclusively English speaking ones too. There are also indonesian, russian, chinese speakers that have smaller audiences.
>Why are they all lolis
Most of the popular ones aren't.
>Are they all pretending to be your girlfriend?
Some are, some aren't. Parasocial relationships are just as common as normal streaming. Some companies implicitly maintain idol conventions like Hololive. Other companies don't care and let their streamers date openly. Independent streamers can do whatever they want.
>Why do they hide what they look like IRL?
It depends on the streamer. Maybe it's part of their brand. Maybe they're shy. Maybe they value their privacy. Maybe they have a face fit for radio. Some don't care at all whether people know what they look like IRL. Vtubing is just an intermediate step between streaming without a facecam and streaming with one.
>What do they actually do in streams?
Not that different from your average twitch streamer for most. Mainly talk to the viewers, play games, collab with each other. Many of the popular ones produce ancillary content like music videos, 3D streams (streams using 3d motion capture) and even live concerts. The most popular vtubers in Japan are basically celebrities at this point and do press releases, tv appearances and marketing promotions.
>Who watches this shit?
For the largest Japanese corporate vtubers, the viewer demographics are predominantly single men, 18-30. Some vtubers have a high proportion of female fans though. People watch this shit for a variety of reasons that are too long to list, but for the casual viewer, it's because vtubers put out long form content that can be consumed passively that is currently in demand thanks to the current pandemic accelerating the atomization of modern society. Either that, or "lol funni anime girl said the n word".

No one genuinely serious about learning anything asks a question the way you did. You can't blame anyone but yourself if you're misunderstood here.
On the off chance you were sincere, then let me put it simply. Vtubers that get popular, that get watched and talk about here without getting made fun of, are genuinely nice and interesting people who wanna get famous for entertaining people. A lot of the female ones tend to be young adults all the way up to middle aged women. This is no different than finding a streamer without an avatar that isn't autistic or annoying, as much a unicorn as that may be. In fact, maybe that's why we watch Japanese streamers, because we don't find them autistic or annoying due to possible cultural differences.
