Yeah, someone who is that lovely about their political opinions is not going to be used to a person they think they care about telling them, even gently, that nobody gives a poo poo and the problem is them, not everyone else.

To normal people it’s a slap on the wrist, but to that guy it was basically assault. Zero percent chance he didn’t go apeshit from that answer, and going harder than that is pointless.
Added to that the little chat tv next to her was just a constant scroll of "OWNED" and "YOU TELL'EM" etc, not only did she dunk on him professionally but you can clearly see nobody else was on his side either and that's great

One of the interesting things about the whole vtuber phenomenon, and something that I hope is a positive, is that it's exposing a lot of people to people they just otherwise wouldn't come in contact with. Not just cause of language and borders, but also because of the insular nature of anime nerds. I suppose I'm operating off of stereotypes that may be outdated, but I donno if everyone who hangs out in like, Marine's streams is the type of person who regularly just sort of hangs out with chatty women who speak at a million words a minute about everything.

I bring up Marine in particular cause I recently saw an animated clip of a story she told where she recalled going to a bookstore in another town and some dude pretended he knew her and tried to kidnap her. She delivered it with the same sort of cadence she delivered the story about when she was super pissed that her delivery guy wasn't bringing her food when he said he would so she watched anime while muttering to herself. Thing is, a lot of women have some sort of story like that, where they were harassed in public and it could've actually been really dangerous, and the first time you hear a friend of yours talk about some guy who followed her to her car and stood real close and watched her drive away like they're telling you about how the store was out of the chips they wanted loving changes your perception of things. Just like how the black guy you play D&D with in college mentions he got pulled over for no reason, it collapses walls and turns abstract ideas into concrete experiences. I think a lot of online anime nerds haven't had those types of conversations, so maybe people spending hours of their day listening to animes talk while playing videogames might hear something that makes them understand other people's lives.

Like, I wonder how many people in Ina's audience did a bit of a double take when her first instinct after being handed a drink was to check it, and Cali was like "yeah, that's a good idea, always check your drinks" and made sure to stress that it was an unopened can. "Did someone drug this drink they're giving me" might not be the first thought of some people, but holy poo poo is it the right first thought for a lone woman at a frat party.

It's 100% anecdotal, but I have seen some evidence of that out there in the wilds of the internet, in places where people discuss vtubers. I suspect you might be on to something.

There must be some element of being a vtuber is a more ideal situation for any female streamers because they won't get harassed about their appearance, and they aren't recognized in public.

The freaks are still gonna freak, but a vtuber doesn't have to sit through scrolling walls of comments complaining she doesn't look good because she didn't put on makeup.

Like, what are the options for female streamers? Everyone assumes they're a camgirl or fake gamer girl for the most part. At least with a facerig model its treated like a deliberate performance and not hot tub yoga asmr.

There also ended up being an impromptu minecraft collab with some Niji ID folks that was pretty fun earlier, although ironically i initially missed it because I was watching pomu's stream and she left earlier because she's got an actual schedule and needs to get to bed at a decent time.

I can believe this.
The audience for vtubers is larger part young men, and they are getting exposed to women's lives in a way they otherwise wouldn't have been.
A story from your oshi will resonate harder than metoo in the news. A positive side-effect of the vtuber-thing for sure.
