Do you think VTubers should play a character? Is keyfabe necessary for a good VTuber?

Yes although it's not necessary to be a good VTuber. I think the issue is too many nowadays forget that they're essentially cartoon puppets and act like generic streamers instead.

I think vtubers should only ever play a character for prerecorded content, never live. If unicucks can't directly interact with a character it makes it much less likely for them to get attached and sperg out later when their fefees get hurt.

since nimi is a western indie she clearly felt like it was fine to break the japanese idol kayfabe. and at this point is probably ok with shedding her idol fanbase since she already got their money from merch and a concert

except that "burgandy catsburg" saying she is married makes her married
kayfabe is not static and never has been static, that's true for wrestling where the term originated from as well

They don't have to. But if they choose to, not maintaining it is a huge fuck you to the fans.

Kayfabe is nice specifically for precoded and RP content, it's really useful for fans as well if they want to go fangames or fanfiction and whatnot

But for streaming? Going full force into kayfabe reaches its limits extremely quickly and falls into pure cringe, I'd rather watch a streamer that basically pour their own personality into the thing and uses kayfabe only to hide some specific infos about them.

It's absolutely inherent in the fucking system.
If they're not playing a character, why are they not a flesh tuber?
Vtuber is supposed to be virtual anime girls in cyberspace or something retarded.
Don't talk about how much you love minorities and getting dicked down, and how much you hate republicans and getting abortions.
Talk about video games, singing, and whatever stupid gay interests people have that aren't real life, and the money WILL flow.

Only if they market themselves as playing into the keyfabe at debut. Otherwise complete keyfabe is an unrealistic expectation and youโ€™re bound to be disappointed at some point.

If you don't want them to be a random e-girl with an avatar telling you about going on trips with their boyfriend and buying expensive stuff while getting mad at you for not simping enough, yes.

Yeah absolutely. The issue comes from proper rules of engagement not being laid out, not so they can be enforced but so they can be conformed to or rejected in a concrete way.

No, but don't establish a kfabe then reveal you're married/constantly fucking.

if you're gonna be a gfe vtuber, keep it up. if you're just streaming as yourself, be the whore you are irl, be whoever you are, mention your boyfriend and your husband all the time, don't wait to do it 5 years into your fully kfabed career
