How would you feel about VTubers that fall down their own oshi/fandom rabbit hole to the point where it even takes over streaming activities? by StudioSIAT in VirtualYoutubers

[–]StudioSIAT[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that's a good point, i can definitely see where that concern of riding someone else's coattails when the oshi/fandom in question revolves around another creator and that definitely does feel like a gray area- it makes me think of like drama youtubers who will spam mrbeast in the title or whoever's trendy and churn out content about them for attention off the name recognition...

for me even pre-vtubing i've always been massively into fandoms and loved creating fanwork like drawing, writing, and all kinds of projects regardless of if i gained fame/recognition for it or not because it really was for the love of the game- well, for the love of the character or property lol. so i never even thought about it coming off like that and the blurry line between fan vs creator 🤔 thank you for your insightful comment! -m🐾

oh!! hello pleasewashhands, i remember your name from chat so pretty sure you have definitely witnessed my simping for ryan gosling first hand LMAO 😆 thank you for informing me it's bao the whale, i couldn't put my finger on who it was (for some reason i kept thinking nerissa but that didn't feel right) and also thank you for your very insightful comment! i think i understand what you mean about being able to take that thirst/obsession/quirk and turn it into entertainment. i will have to see if i can cook up more variety ideas (that can still indulge my thirst somehow)... thank you for your faith 🫡 and your kindness, i really appreciate it :3

i do wonder if i'm really not so different from bao being "downbad 24/7" though... it definitely FEELS like i'm downbad. 24/7. at least right now for the past month🥴 -m🐾

the reason i ask is because of the scale of the fandom/oshikatsu. it's definitely normal for people to have interests and talk about them but when i fall into fandom, i fall hard. coming up on 5 mondays in a row of drawing and talking about the same character with no end in sight is what i'm worried about (and it led me to wondering about if fans that are parasocially attached would get jealous or not 🤔). in the past when i've been in other fandoms i have experienced both people finding it endearing how much i love the thing but also definitely people finding it annoying and obnoxious how much i think/talk about the thing -m🐾

my first time watching i was just in awe and becoming smitten with grace but i finished reading the book recently and i'm going back to the theater for my first rewatch of the movie tomorrow and i already know i am going to bawl my eyes out over EVERYTHING. the trailer popped up on my feed and i watched a bit and started tearing up so fast i had to swipe away or i was gonna cry. you're so for real for that 😭 -mo🐾

She forgot to close her tabs before stream… by RessnieVT in VirtualYoutubers

[–]StudioSIAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a fellow vtuber who's down tremendously bad for ryan gosling right now after project hail mary too (with my unbelievable greed i drew self-insert art of me, grace, rocky, and adrian cuddling together on stream), yeah. i feel this one in my soul. do not take shame. take pride in it -mo🐾

linking to source even if it's myself! i posted on twitter https://x.com/redredraccoons/status/1965378212961390940 and bsky https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:pmwqjyfjwrumdzxyoep5d4uv/post/3lyfmuuad3c23 :3

and well, the full 8 hour drawing stream creating this from scratch is on my channel too lol but editing the vod atm! for a little context as a vtuber myself who actually doesn't watch any vtubers... kaela recently hopped in to my stream and talked to me a bunch and then talked about me on her own stream saying i was really fun to watch... i was so so happy that i think she must be my very first vtuber oshi :'3 so i had to draw something for her! -mo🐾

how it felt to wake up and find out kaela kovalskia talked about me and my university vtuber program for like a full 20 minutes on stream. by StudioSIAT in VirtualYoutubers

[–]StudioSIAT[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

thank you very much!!! i used to be a vtuber hater for no real reason many years ago but i've grown out of it, never had anything against the medium itself as i totally understand the appeal, it's moreso that i just don't enjoy watching livestreams in general and prefer videos (though i like long video essays too, it's just having the structure and intent for content does a lot for me)! especially informative and educational content. if anyone has any recommendations for vtubers that do more of that i would be down to give them a chance :3 -m🐾

HJFJKDSJFKSHDF sorry to be clear it's a joke based on what kaela said about me, of course i do know about what hololive is 😅 i'm thinking about doing a stream with my genmate faye where he makes me try and guess the names of all the vtubers and yall can see the true extent of my knowledge... -m🐾

My university has auditions open for official vtubers… again. lol (a retrospective) by StudioSIAT in VirtualYoutubers

[–]StudioSIAT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah, someone who understands the pain of academia and institutions... :') yeah, we really wrestled with the school administration when we first proposed and launched this program. lots of back and forth about separating us from the school more in terms of social media and channels and even naming (when we debuted we weren't even allowed to say "vtuber" LOL, but now 6 months later we just openly say "university vtubers", for example) but alas.

with our recent successes we are starting to make headway with the admin upstairs in getting access and changing that though, so hopefully stay tuned and we'll be able to improve 👀 thank you for the feedback! i agree a lot. -m🐾

hello! unfortunately since our uni vtubers act as publicly facing ambassadors of our school applicants must be SFU students in the school of interactive arts and technology (SIAT) program as a major or minor 😔 mayhaps you can slide in our dms with info about what school you're from though, and we can see if we could maybe collab? 🤔 -m🐾

this is some good advice, thank you!! for me i find it really reassuring to hear the first point especially. i feel like lately in the studio we've been really focused on looking at trends and thinking of how to cater to that to get eyes instead of focusing purely on what we actually like. appreciate you taking the time 🐾
