It matters because pretending to be something you're not to a large audience really fucks with your head. I'm not really convinced that vtubing in general is totally psychologically safe. Like, you have this model with impossibly perfect curves, impeccably tailored clothes that few people could afford to buy or wear in real life, and an impossibly cute face with eyes lower and larger than any real eyes are.
And most people who've heard you speak think that is you.
So I would actually expect that some, not even most, but some of these people look at their avatars, then look at themselves in the mirror, and feel disgust that they can't look like that. But you'd see it the most in people who already hated themselves for one reason or another and get upset that they couldn't be the person everyone loves all the time. And this would hit hardest for such a person with an avatar that looks like the opposite sex.

But how, is it like taking a stream, and re-streaming it? It's not just a bunch of people showing up through the usual means, otherwise there wouldn't be a counter saying 828 viewers, and no one would want to put up with 828 individual notifications. taking a stream, and re-streaming it however seems like something these sites wouldn't want people doing.
