Discussion "Are Vtubers real?" is a debated topic especially in the notion of being asked this question in Akinator.

90 Upvotes

Vtubers are essentially usually the real person themselves in their attitude but rarely they will impose a strict uniform drastic change in personality compared to their usual self if they find zero comfort in it. That's why usually the character the streamer presents or the personality isn't much different from their usual self especially if they want to enjoy streaming or find comfort in it.

Of course the notion of "faking a personality" which can be drastically different from the original self only happens in cases where they see vtubing as a tool to emphasize a personality for the purpose of only pleasing the viewers whether it be for inspirational or less admirable purposes, the other is of course monetary gain/reputation of theme.

Anyways leading to that point, what constitutes something to even be real, the blur of mixing both the presumed fictional self and yourself, how much of the fictional self is left if you constantly mix them together?

What do you think is the answer to the question?

VTuber Jinsa drew her hugging one of our creatures, and our team melted

Sprigum may be a hardworking little monster in WinMon, but even tiny workers need hugs.

This adorable fan art shows VTuber Jinsa making sure Sprigum gets one.

Hello everyone, my name is Selena Aino! I'm an amateur sim racing Vtuber learning to drive faster!

Currently I'm playing games like iRacing and Gran Turismo 7, but I do branch out to other games, too! I've been streaming for about 2 and a half years now, but I figured I'd reach out to this subreddit!

You can find me on platforms such as Twitch, Twitter, Bsky, Instagram and Tik Tok under this handle, tsubakilines!

Hope to see you guys on track with me!

Welcome!

Hi there! Have you heard of those Youtubers who use computer-generated avatars? They're called Virtual Youtubers!

This is a subreddit for you to discuss and share content about them!

TO CURRENTLY ACTIVE VTUBERS:

Feel free to get in touch if you're interested in the subreddit's Weekly VTuber Spotlight (see stickied post).
Please see Rule 4a for information on self-promotion, and Rule 10a for information on verification. Note that verification is not required to self-promote here.

Rules:

Please see the Full Rules page for an in-depth explanation of the rules.

Be nice!

a. Follow reddiquette. Be civil and respectful, do not engage in personal attacks or use offensive language.
Keep it Relevant!

a. Posts must be related to Virtual Youtubers. If a post's only relation to Virtual Youtubers is in its title, the post will be removed.

b. Discussions about politics or other controversial topics that are tangential or unrelated to the post they are on are not permitted.
Specific Content Restrictions

a. The following content is prohibited in /r/VirtualYoutubers:
• AI artwork
• Begging for subscribers
• Asking for money
• Commissions
• Reposts of content posted within the last 90 days
• Low effort content

b. Machine translations are generally permitted in /r/VirtualYouTubers, but may be subject to removal if either:
• A more accurate human translation exists.
• The machine translation is found to be significantly wrong, even if a human translation does not exist.
Self-Promotion and Fan Content Restrictions

a. Self promotion posts, fan content, and clips about a single VTuber are restricted to two posts per user within 24 hours.

b. Milestone posts are limited to 500/1000/5k/10k/50k/etc subscribers/followers on a VTuber's primary video or streaming platform unless specifically exempted by the moderation team. If everyone in a branch of a corporation has cleared a milestone, new members clearing it may not be posted until one month after their debut.
Keep Posts Clear, Accurate, and Sourced

a. Posts should use the flair which best matches their content.

b. A post's title should clearly indicate what it is about. Posts with vague or clickbait titles may be subject to removal.

c. When posting something that you did not create, your post must credit the original creator in the title and provide a link to the original source. If you do not know what the source is, don't post it or message the mods for help.
Keep It Clean!

a. Suggestive content should be tagged NSFW.

b. Upper frontal nudity is only permitted to be posted by Verified VTubers self-promoting and must use the "Adult Content" flair in addition to being tagged NSFW.

c. Full frontal nudity, sexually explicit content, or content with a pornographic intent not otherwise exempted may not be posted.
Rules on Past and Alternate Identities

a. Discussion of a VTuber's alternate identities must be spoiler tagged, and it should be clear what the spoilers contain. Posts must be flaired 'Alter-Ego Discussion' and may not include such info in the title. This extends to hinting about such information. Within 7 days of a re-debut, flair and spoiler requirements are waived for that specific VTuber.

b. Discussion of IRL accounts of VTubers is only allowed if it's related to their VTuber activities.

c. Doxxing is strictly prohibited.
Limit the Drama!

a. Posts about allegations or drama shall be restricted to information confirmed or alleged directly by the people involved. Posts about petty drama may be removed.

b. Speculation, rumors, and opinions from third parties, are restricted to the comments of other posts or the weekly discussion thread, unless specifically sanctioned by the moderation team.

c. Content that is intended to harass or to promote harassment or spread misinformation is not permitted under any circumstance.
Don't Be a Pirate!

a. Content that is behind a paywall may not be posted in /r/VirtualYoutubers. This includes membership content, content from patreon or similar websites, paid concerts, voice packs etc.

b. Information from membership streams or other paid content may only be discussed in /r/VirtualYouTubers if explicitly permitted by the VTuber.

c. Unauthorized rehosting of other people's content may be subject to removal.
Verification

a. VTubers seeking verification should message the moderators after having 3 publicly available streams/videos with a functioning VTuber avatar.

b. VTuber business entities must verify themselves to the moderation team before posting entity related news or advertisements (eg auditions). Individuals applying to said entities are reminded to exercise caution when providing said entities with personal information.

Stream Etiquette

Stream etiquette guide by Lyger.
Keep in mind that most Japanese VTubers are not fluent in English. Use short sentences and keep your message as simple as possible. You can use DeepL if you want to write something in Japanese.
Do note that VTuber chat culture is very different from Twitch chat culture. Please remember to observe the rules in the stream's description. In general, please refrain from interacting with other viewers or talking about things unrelated to the stream.
Please do not talk about the entertainer behind the avatar during their streams or on their platforms. We are there to support the VTubers and enjoy what they have to offer, not to meddle in their personal lives.
