Hannah Montana was meant as a silly premise, but now it just makes sense. (lemmy.world)

After a certain point in popularity it is assumed the celeb is going to sooner or later:

Be doxxed

Have death threats thrown at them

Be sexually harassed

Have police called on them

Then we have all the Vtubers who are Hannah Monatanning it up and straight chilling. Ironmouse has never been swatted, but by God some people would if they could, and others would probably show up at her house to show their "love".

Dream is an example of someone who shouldn't have let out who he was IMO because the attacks against him seemed to become a lot more real once there was a real human name, face, and location. Like I would have gone to the grave as Dream with how many people hated him before his face reveal.

Hannah Montana was a Disney show where a girl was a popstar under a different name and wig so she could be a normal person when she wasn't performing. VTubers, like Ironmouse that op referenced, are streamers that essentially play characters rather than stream as themselves in order to preserve their anonymity. They have cameras that track their movement, but rather than just stream the feed of the camera, they map that movement onto an avatar, usually a 3d anime girl.

Thank you, I was super confused.

We also have hand youtubers! Or animators abimate their avatars.

A few like legit musicians also hide their face while performing to make it hard to be recognized, but don't go full Hannah Montana and their real names are known.

Last part: Ado does it.
Live performance on stage but the lighting is set up so the face isnt revealed.

Slow Magic does it a lot. He wears LED masks and keeps his identity secret

usually a 3d anime girl

Why are they always very young girls?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Because people are fucked up in the head.
