Fetish? More like an average vTuber fan. You think this is obsessive, but you see them constantly pass a Million USD$ in “Donations” and have 1000’s of people functionally in love with them.
And I’ve been deep in it, for 40% of adult men in 2024 have never had a positive thing said to them by a woman, never had anyone agree to a date, 40%, we caught up to Japan recently. And even crazier, that 60% turns around and treats people even worse.
And suddenly a VTuber treats you like a human being for first time in your adult life. The first kindness, I wish this was an exaggeration, but western society is so fucked up right now. You can hear the angry responses ready to call someone the I word, ready to label someone a monster and move on being a pious asshole to everyone around them.
Imagine your whole life spent just having to deal with being treated this way. Because it’s much easier to label you a monster and not a human being and not give you any empathy at all. I don’t know how he ended up here. Social media is 1000% to blame, I know, but it’s just so scary.
And because there is no way for them to escape their echo chamber, they just become more and more hate filled. But wrapped up in this false veneer of justification, which is a self perpetuating hate machine. People have lost the ability to put down their phone, they have lost the ability to go five minutes without checking the notifications, you can’t have a conversation with them anymore.
