To all the cute VTubers out there: I'm seeing a lot of talk about toxic/fake positivity and I just wanna say that, yeah, staging is a big part of entertainment. To some of you VTubing is only a for-fun hobby while others are trying to make it their job and it's easy for 1/

feelings to get hurt in the overlap. Your goals are different and that's ~OKAY~! That said, if you're streaming to make 'deeper friendships' I don't think it's fair to point the finger at other streamers and call them fake. 2/

Making a living creating content is a complex process. Of course those streamers will cast a wide net and try lots of combos out while they settle into a groove where the income is stable. That doesn't make them any less genuine or pure. 3/

If you want a deeper friendship with other streamers then keep reaching out! Don't overlook the non-streamers in your communities tho! Too often I see streamers get too caught up in trying to fit in with other streamers that they brush off the people already there for them 4/

If you complain about not fitting in but only ever address your viewers as viewers and not friends, well, you're in for a rough time. 5/

Anyway, if I'm following you I liked your design. If I'm lurking in your discord I'm trying to catch your streams, even tho I can't make it very often. If I say I love you, I mean it. I love VTubers! I love seeing y'all grow and interact! Keep being cuties
