I actually sincerely doubt that's the actual reason. Opposition to Uzaki-chan was also localized heavily in Japan, with claims of pedophilic design of the character... Which, yeah, make no sense, but that's why we research and ask questions, dumb as they are.

From what I understand about opposition to Vtubers, they believe Vtubers will destroy the landscape of female streamers and YouTubers via saturation and an unrealistic standard of female beauty.

Considering that a lot of the Vtubers are some kind of non-human humanoid creature such as a dog girl or a shark girl or a dragon girl... I mean they're not wrong but they're wrong for a different reason. :rofl:

About the Vtuber Revolution XD

I honestly don't understand the "feminist" backlash against Vtubers.

Judging from what I have seen of other female streamers, Vtubers aren't only better at the games they play, but in the end it doesn't really matter because they have more personality and are much nicer and chiller to their fans and even their detractors.

Me and my boyfriend love Vtubers (with Korone and Amelia Watson being our favs :lol: ) and we honestly don't get it.

While I get the feeling even NationStates doesn't get it and loves Vtubers too, I also get the feeling there's always at least one person who is against for some silly reason and I wanna know!


I have no idea what vtubers are.

On the outside it can seem that way but it's a very special woman who pursues the celibate life. They are truly lovely.

Of course, but you can still be married and not have children. The women who forego marriage in favor of celibacy exhibit something special.

I don't have an opinion one way or another. . I mean, we have cartoons, also virtual, just the medium is not tv but YouTube.

Given that this is the feminism thread, what does it have to do with each other. What am I missing? :unsure:

There's probably an argument about Vtubers, objectification, and whatnot. I don't know, nor do I really care. I could care less about anime girl youtubers.

You wanna talk about problematic Japanese shit, why don't we talk about the way Japanese women fetishize gay men while we're at it.

Sure, there are spaces to talk about the fetishization that LGBTQ+ people experience. But it doesn't invalidate the fact that there's some pretty grotesque fetishization of young girls in Japanese animation and pop culture. And I don't think that these bunch of old women divers who probably barely get by on the sea food they sell are lecherous fujoshi's. Could be wrong but it's just not relevant.

Ya got any better examples than a girl who is considered an adult in the prefecture she was meant to represent?

You're not entirely wrong that Japan has unfortunately lax interpretations of adulthood, but Vtubers are most certainly not a good example of that, nor have any of their recent targets I've heard of. There have indeed been times when Japan has pushed the envelope and for the most part it is widely rejected. Most of these representations are of age and their main appeal is their personality and the fun they bring to the video games they play or the things they watch or the things they represent, while the few young ones are not sexualized at all.

How much is this concern trolling from Japanese traditionalists (tHiNk OF dE cHiLdReNz) who cling onto the very culture that encourages this kind of shit and how much is it misguided to begin with? (Shouldn't they be going after politicians instead of the girls themselves or their employers for that matter?)

Says a lot about our shitty society, tbh.

Intimacy is dumb, love between friends isn't real, sex is disgusting and it's on every magazine cover because of it, dressing up kids on Toddlers and Tiaras in horrific outfits is fine but God forbid if you're one year over the age limit, and being a jerk is just being smart.
