Im gonna ask a stupid question
what is a vtuber
Virtual youtuber. Someone who uses a virtual puppet as a way to perform instead of showing up in person on cam. Theres a lot of those on twitch as well I hear.
Itâs basically a youtuber whoâs an anime girl.

Whatâs the appeal?
Not necessarily. They come as anime boys too.

If I were to guess. Something about virtual characters that bring some viewers closer to the performer. All youtubers have a personality mask on and enter into a character their audience relate to or like. Vtubers take it further into the direction of anonimity and optimize suspension of belief.

Bro is a slang shortening of brother, meant to signify friendship between people and is usually used by Men.
If you call someone bro, that means you are an acquaintance or friend of them

I like tubers. Potatoes, specifically.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stewâŚ
Whatâs the point of a virtual tuber? You canât actually eat it.

Thanks bro 
Hint: people probably donât watch for the game play.
Usually people with the weirdest taste are the ones with highest purchasing power and there is a market for everything, but Iâd definitely have some explaining if someone were to walk in on me.
Choosing between this and sitting in silence? I probably do the same with most of the streams either way, except when it comes to bodypainting.
Most surprising thing about the whole thing is how well mannered and positive the chat was during the 5 minute stretch that I forced myself to watch.
If I could rate this post as âInformativeâ I definitely would.
If only Blizz forums used XenForoâŚ
What a time to be alive.
Still, any publicity is good publicity. An whether or not I enjoy her style, she seems to have a fair bit of the basics down, so immediately better than 90% of the people I see in QM.

I donât really know. Maybe Iâm missing the mark completely and what I say doesnât have anything to do with your point, but I feel like Blizzard has always (and Iâm talking about the 90s) had a strong Westener artstyle. Everything about classic Diablo, StarCraft, Diablo and also RockânâRoll Racing, Blackthorne or Lost Vikings scream American-European aesthetic values. So while I think it would be pretty stupid to âdespiseâ weebs as a company, I would understand Blizzard not explicitely catering to them. League of Legends feels way more anime-ish.
On the other hand, I have to admit that Iâm not a fan of some kinds of fanservice, too. Iâve never liked hypersexualized characters and that kind of stuff. And yes, Iâm not sure todayâs Blizzard would dare go as far as Blizzard North went with Diablo 2. But I think thatâs most about trying to get to the broader audiences than about âpushing political viewsâ. And if by pushing political views you mean feminism, well⌠All Iâll say is that feminism is here to stay.
Finally, the video includes some sort of âthis stream was approved by Blizzard Entertainmentâ. So I donât think the company is going to reject the advertisement just because anime shenanigans arenât their thing.
Itâs not like they were going to prevent the stream from taking place otherwise. This is usually something you must follow if you decide to host a community event or a tournament, situations where thereâs a lot of money involved and risk of association with hot topics (abortion, child labour in fashion industry, you name it). Sounds more like the production team blindly fishing for any kind of response or even free merchandise and loot codes to give away once they go live.
Considering how things are going, Iâd say not for long.
Frankly thereâs nothing wrong with feminism as it helps you weed out hypocrites easier. If someone insists on equality they might just as well be held to the same standard.
