Basically. What is the point of this? The only vtuber shit I see is like porn, that shark girl talking like a child, women spazzing out over fucking 5 year olds. When I come to ask about it everyone becomes VERY defensive, starts telling me to eat shit and die, calling me a pedophile, accusing me of watching this shit, dropping the word "cunny". I feel like a dad that just walked into his son's room and he's in there with 5 other dudes beating off to a JC Penny's catalog.
Going to throw my hat into the ring here as a pseudo-impartial observer. People are getting defensive because they aren't sure why you're asking. You have a reputation for being mercurial and making snap decisions. Whether that's warranted or not, I personally can't say, as I keep my head down and don't engage with forum drama much. But your tone
was very adversarial and came across as a preemptive judgement, so people assumed they didn't have a choice in the matter and wanted to spend their last moments of freedom spitting at the figure that took away their fun.
What I think you need to understand is that vtubing is like
any big growth industry at the moment. Lots and lots of people are jumping on the bandwagon and trying to carve out their own niches. However, the industry only became as popular as it is because of a core of large studios who hired talented, professional individuals able to both gather and retain an audience. A majority of significant vtubers are
professionals who abide by strict contracts and are required to maintain standards of conduct that explicitly exclude anything to do with lolicon or pedobait. The independent scene is much newer and much less regulated, for obvious reasons.
Of course there's going to be vtubers out there who focus more on the lewd side of things. Just like there are comedians whose careers are defined by sex jokes and edgy comedy skits about hookers, dead babies, and dead baby hookers. This is an entirely open medium; there's free software out there that lets you rig up a 3D model within a few hours, or a few days if you're a complete amateur.
If nothing else, think of it like this; every year (until 'rona anyway) there were blockbuster movies being produced. A big focus of these movies is on beautiful, professional, heavily made-up stars doing cool and sometimes provocative things. Even a family-friendly movie like Avengers had Black Widow strutting around in a skin-tight suit and being tied up in a warehouse by greasy crooks. Given that, there was simultaneously a shadow-industry producing low-budget knock-offs of these movies, explicitly trying to ride the coat-tails of success by being cruder, lewder and as disingenuous as possible. Then, a step below that, you got porn parodies, which make bank entirely on taking the suggestive but contextual-in-the-greater-experience parts of blockbusters and turning them into an extreme focus for the entire production.
In this analogy, Hololive, Nijisan and the other big vtuber operations that comprise more than 95% of the vtuber market are the blockbusters. The independents are the shadow-industry (though some are legitimately talented), and the porn parodies are the degenerates just riding the trend for attention. I'll be frank and say this; I would have no problem whatsoever letting my children watch the average corporate vtuber. There are a few who are more explicit than others that I wouldn't let a kid watch, but vtubers like Korone, Okayu, Pekora, Kanata, Botan, Pikamee, etc... it's actually
laughable to me that anyone would find them objectionable. They're no more worrisome than the little bits of adult humor you'd get in a dubbed episode of Digimon or Dragon Ball Z.
Anyway, it's late and I fear I'm becoming more incoherent as time goes by. Hopefully this is informative in some capacity.
Edit: One more small point; you're heavily steeped in the degenerate parts of the internet to begin with. I commonly get a very... 'Rorschach' feeling from you. Since you immerse yourself so deeply and so constantly into the most negative and perverse elements of every movement or trend you encounter, you're much more likely to instantly zero in on the darkest aspects of anything new you encounter which would completely fly over the heads of somebody who is more casually engaged. Please don't apply that to everything.
