I don't like vtubers, furry stuff, etc. but I love and appreciate how Amelia has been pushed by the upstart grassroots "right wing." The lyrics in this are pretty banger.
Unlike some other comments here, I think drawing connections between the Amelia phenomenon to basement dweller / weeb pop culture weakens the symbol a bit. She might earn more power in the mainstream if she's relatable to normies.
Normies aren't sentient. They'll like what they're told to like. It's up to the fringes to drag the status quo in one direction or another, and the normies will follow along and act like it's always been of their own "free" will.
It's not about the normies, it's about the young people. Normies, by definition, will not lift a finger to change the pedo-elite status quo. Kids, almost by definition, will.

Even if you believe that (I'm partway there), I think a message is more palatable and more persuasive if it's less alien.
