Ive seen so many people saying the same exact shit, so heres my final input on this stupid ass situation.
You are correct, she has every right to put boundaries in place and expect people to respect said boundaries she put in place.
Does this mean people are going to respect them? Absolutely not.
Every person I see making this straight up virtue signal post is either a Vtuber themself or in the fandom.
These people know the kind of fucked in the head lonely degenerate gooners make up an unfortunately huge part of the fandom.
Sitting here wagging your finger at them and saying "no, bad" does jack fucking shit, you are virtue signaling for brownie points, You might as well be screaming into a black hole.
Her choices are simple here.
Ignore the degenerates, rebrand to something less sex themed, or just stop Vtubing.
As I said earlier she basically jumped into shark infested waters with a swim suit made of raw meat, then got upset that the sharks did what they do.
vtubing has unfortunately become filled with oversexualization, and as a result attracted a huge number of undesirable people into the fandom. Either learn to deal with them or just ignore them, because much like in the Furry fandom, they arent going anywhere. There is no point in making these grand virtuous gestures to a community that couldn't give less of a fuck. Just ignore the situation and move on, yall made a mountain out of a molehill.
Going to be honest, this tweet just shows that there are so many rotten individuals on this website.
Since when did it become trendy again, to decide on if someone should be s*xualized or not?
Since when is it alright to be assuming someone's interest and consent because of art?
And since when did it become normal to go onto those people?
There are two sides here:
- People feeling "offended" by her interest in not wanting to be sexualized, despite using a succubus model
- People who understand that a character concept = / = all the traits of it.
Like, where are we?
Is it so hard to read, understand, and respect?
You don't need to agree. Hell, you can block them.
But going against their will and s*xualising them further when it has been said they do not like it, is like shooting someone right into their face after loading the gun and wondering why they are afraid of you.
It's just not fair, nor is it okay to do.
Say what you want. Poledancing can be seen as a s*xual activity. But i have just as much seen people poledance in terms of sports.
Say what you want. Revealing outfits can be seen as alluring and thus trigger people because they look like an "invitation".
But none of these things are invite. Nor are they consentual agreements to you pulling out your willy and jorking it on them.
And if you do, keep it to yourself
