I think the whole "women are sooo mad about this" thing is an incel revenge fantasy and not reality. All the comments I have seen from women about this are "well that's really pathetic" and not "Ohh nooo the men will replace us!! Please come back and I will cook you tendies! I will lower my standards!!"
Eh not entirely. Its more or less just a re-hash of the at this point decade old sexbot controversy with the difference being that the subject offers even less this time around somehow. The same people who were upset at sexbots are upset at this and the same people who realized it was an empty threat then realize its an empty threat now.
Aside from the vtubers who seem genuinely worried this will affect their grift since it basically offers the same thing they offer but on a more personal level.
It's an indie game in an incredibly autistic genre that peaked in popularity during the 2000s in genuine public interest and in the early 2010s in ironic interest. It's gonna be browned, no escaping it in current year.
I never got into dating sims despite liking VNs but what I really meant was, "Why would people who actually enjoy this genre play this game?" because it seems like the people who only play them ironically will just play for a few hours, get bored of the gimmick/goofiness aspect and never pick it up again. I'd like to see a statistical breakdown on how long people play this game before quitting once it's out because the type of people who actually finish VNs aren't fucking buying this one and anyone who is interested at all isn't fucking finishing it unless it's super short.
One could easily, right now, take the transcript of any youtube video, rip out choice quotes to use as a personality guide, and hack together a basic bot of any individual that exists making videos. Vtuber, normie, anyone. It would be impossible to sell this because it's already so easy to set up.
And here's my power level, my favorite character to use in stories is Arthur Morgan. He's such a a gentleman. To set up his tone/personality to be accurate I used canon quotes from his diary so that even his writing style in the third person is correct. Luv me robots.
You could make it yourself right now very easily, just copy your favorite posts of his and plug them into a blank bot in SillyTavern in the "personality" section! You might need a jailbreak to make it say rude words but those are also trivial to source.
I imagine tho in the future every vtuber will have a subscription based chatbot you can talk to who is trained on her voice and persona who you can ERP with
Already a thing. Famed Filipino Boy Vtuber Fillian has one on her Fansly, I believe Shylily has one as well. You'd have to ask the Vtuber board for more examples

It's actually only 40% of men who have reproduced historically and 80% of women.
60% of men get FILTERED, as the annie mays say. This is why men had to invent things like arranged marriages which results in beautiful societies where every man is guaranteed a wife like India and the middle east.
I'm not an anthropologist but I assume that historically, a society with a high reproductive imbalance by gender means that women were probably either in a harem or just raped and told to deal with it. I guess the best case would be like modern-day black ghettos where a bunch of mothers all have the same "baby daddy" who's never around to help out.
The dedicated fans of these people have mental health issues. I could write a doctorate thesis on the common tropes employed in their defense. Recurring characters such as, "it's a bit", and "you are Jewish".
What makes your dedicated fans different from them? Hell how does one NOT cultivate a fan base that acts like the three you mentioned? I've always found it interesting that despite his "no internet fwends and no discord" rule(s) Jim still has dedicated fans which act like how they currently do.
Vtubers are humans with mocap pfp autism (or in 1 or 2 cases tts chatbots but that's another story). Also they don't charge shit because their streamers, the revenue comes from superchats usually.

correct me if im wrong but wasnt the first Vtuber ever a japanese man with a voice changer? i remember something like that when this shit was beginning to sprout.
I've been having vivid dreams lately. Last night I dreamt I was listening to mati and null went into vivid detail about how he traveled out west and murdered Russel Greer via cyanide poisoning. Thank you for your attention on this matter.
The kind of person that has embarrassing conversations with a data collecting machine is the kind of person that can't stop being embarrassing all the time.
All you would really need is all his posts and the transcripts of all his videos and you could easily use those to train a custom dataset of one of the less retarded local models like Nemo, Llora, Deepseek or Quen. Considering Null is a yap-aholic with the right prompting and settings it wouldn't even be that repetitive.
I'm not someone who's able to pull statistics about lets play streamers with little anime mocap avatars out my ass but I've seen a fair share of a troon and tranny variety barrage my recommended the last 2 years. Never click them but the "REACTING TO TRANS MEMES!!!!" OR "TERFS OWNED" thumbnail with the anime soyface is a big tell. I've noticed an increase, is what I'm saying.
Also this neglects the male vtubers which there are many of, some of them actually are just the pooner variety though.
I reckon most people don't have voice changers set up for streaming or have any kind of soundboard setup (aside from Tardski). The ease of access is just OBS and using and iPhone to track for the model. That's literally what Hololive does, they just give talents a computer and iPhone. The fan base also tends to be rather schizo and actively try to sniff out any history dedicated to being a man. Because it has happened before where Vtubers using TTS were outed as Men, and Voice Changers are pretty easy to detect if you listen closely. There's always something wrong or a fuck up during a stream.
So a majority are women, but they tend to just not put effort into it. Trannies are outed quick enough (if they get noticed at all) and men remain in the dumpster unless they pander to female gooners.
