Re: Based on #4, Fandoms you just don't understand

Aside from Minecraft (thanks for explaining, anon!) there are a few fads I don't get.

One of them would be Vtubers whom take my confusion with streamers to the next level as I don't really get people who like most streamers (like Pewdiepie? How did he get so many subscribers basically for screaming while playing random crap ?????) but when it's a 2D avatar... it makes me all the more confused. Because I guess I can get behind "I like his reactions", okay fair. But a 2D (or 3D) avatar can only display so many emotions!! So... it's not their reactions, right?

Gonna be honest and say that lately there is a vtuber whose recorded videos I have been playing on the background while I do other things and what makes him be slightly above the rest for me is the fact that his character is an archetype I like and there is a gap between his character's looks and his personality. But I don't see myself ever getting addicted to this kind of content. Maybe it's a generational thing (30ish here).

I mean, I think a lot of people who are into gaming streamers are people who just aren't super into looking at human faces. I mean some of them facecam but a lot of the most popular ones don't. I personally prefer no faces at all because vtubers get uncanny valley, but it's fine?

Plenty of people get into book and cartoon fandoms, and with streamers you also get their voices, which is where a lot of emotion comes through anyway. But it's just a non visual way of processing that stuff, really. A cartoon face is like cliff notes to emotion and then I don't have to use a ton of brain trying to read faces which is a waste of time for me usually anyway.
