hat and them not necessarily being good looking in their real life means they tend to be a little more down to earth.

We'll see to what extent it sticks if it isn't just a passing fad. Vtubing doesn't select for health, so the women that get into vtubing have any combo of physical or mental problems. Anything from being bedridden to "just" social anxiety. Either way, none of those issues they generally have translates to attention in their personal life.*

Generally speaking you have women who probably don't get so much as a passing glance from people in real life and suddenly--if they're interesting--they have all sorts of people** throwing all sorts of attention they've never gotten before their way. Just as money changes people, I would not be surprised if all this attention they're now getting influences them. The fact that they're to an extent acting as a character does complicate things though.

*not to say """normal""" girls can get into vtubing but it's not the norm

**men

edit: .win doesn't allow superscript I guess :\

The thing about japan is they're very traditional, so they're harder for them to fuck with. As we're seeing with Sony and the like however, they can still get into their companies and take things out from the top down. Keep in mind that Cover has to get permission to play their games, so if the big dogs get too left leaning they're likely to get bullied out of the scene all together. But yes, the West Taiwan situation made me quite happy, and I can honestly say if I can get some good internet among other things I'd be happy to apply for a Holostars EN branch.

The wording of the EN gen 2 recruiting was worrying though, so I remain tentative.

SJW is cancer. You don't get all the symptoms immediately.

Following the examples of how other interests get destroyed, first is infiltration and conversion of as many in the field as possible. Kiara by herself isn't a threat, it's the following/recruiting she can muster that's the threat. Think Literally Who, sleeping around to garner favors from thirsty allies who didn't value their integrity as much as wanted their pee pees touched.

It's only when they have a majority that they strike for the actual conversion of an organization into a vehicle for cultural marxism. By that time, there were be lots of Kiara types that will feel a responsibility for using their platform for the greater good... and it's always their platform in their mind, not a platform built by people with talent that came before them. Those people, smart enough to keep politics out of it in the interests of growth, will no longer be needed.

Even Sony used to be a Japanese company...
