A creator I follow: “Twitter is becoming worse and worse by the day!”
Me: “Come to Mastodon!”
ACIF: “No, that is full of techbros, and which instance do I even choose?”
(At least it’s not as bad as a former favorite VTuber, who after early criticisms of the Twitter takeover and Elon’s personality, decided to “grow up” and like the “person who’s saving the world” (Musk is now a climate change denialist, and I think he’s just a deregulation promise away from announcing the petrol engine Teslas.))
Cannot really tell you it since it was in private streams (especially not on a public forum), and she’s pretty infamous for changing narrative around herself, then going full denial regarding the past. Some of which is granted since she did things in the past that are under NDA, others were just trying to please the bullies (which she got more thanks to relatively nonexistent moderation), at the cost of her own sanity.
It’s one thing if you accidentally spilled info on personal stuff you didn’t want to reveal, and it’s another that you pretend you don’t have the terminal horniness to try to please the haters (which you can’t the moment someone leaks a private stream), and to lie to both yourself and the fans (many of which actually liked that fact about you).
None of that makes sense without context, I’m just pushing back on the normalization of morally ambiguous at best streamers doing all of this shifting narrative shit to the poor gaslit saps lured into a parasocial relationship.

Out of curiosity, which VTuber?

I’ve never really followed the VTuber scene, didn’t know they did private streams. I guess it’s a subscriber thing or something?
Yeah, pretty much.
Parasociality has gone too far
What a consistent person. I bet they are very honest in their day to day life.
