Looking at VTuber fandom out there. Two weeks ago, a famous female VTuber called Ironmouse (who, BTW, has an immune disease and cannot leave her house) won an award, and you know what the fans of other candidates did? They sent her death threats.

Oh boy 😬

VTuber fandom has the extreme opposites. By just being in the Hololive community I’ve seen people being absolute gems and creating content that everyone loves (Kay Yu, Kanauru, 2ManySnacks)… and on the other side people gatekeeping everything, way too parasocial fans, thirst everywhere and extreme tribalism.

If you stop at top comments/posts it’s usually a great experience, you just have to learn to stop scrolling when the toxicity begins.

I only saw hate from people outside the vtuber community, specially on tiktok since people over there already went through a hate wave of vtubers after a popular male one made a concert without having a 3D model. Several people going "who?" afther she won in the live comments.

I betcha if she is a normal showface kind of streamer and not a Vtuber, her fate may be much worse

It just the edgy wannabe being toxic, which has already been a thing on the Internet since the dawn of time
