Some people are missing the point of Vtubers ENTIRELY.
Yes, some people do it for privacy and anonymity, but some people also do it just for the craft.
If people can cosplay as their favourite characters, act out a role in stage plays and films, go on campaigns in DND and play RPGs, then people can also have a virtual persona. Many people, like myself, don't even act as a character and simply enjoy having an appearance that can look however they want and can change on a whim.
There are also Vtubers who DO show their faces from time to time, but you are sorely mistaken if you believe that the sole point of VTubing is for privacy. There are many reasons that people prefer VTubing and privacy is only one of them.
If you play eSports games, do I assume that you are aiming to go pro because some people do?
If you cosplay, do I assume that you're aiming to compete at the WCS?
If you learn some carpentry to do some renovations and save money do I assume that you plan to build a house from scratch?
Like any hobby, trade or craft, VTubing is diverse and has many reasons to learn it. Generalisations based on your own shallow assumptions simply means that you were never interested enough to look into it further, and that's fine, but to purposely attack, shame or harass others because you don't understand is wilfully ignorant and shameless.
I have long since understood that people will bandwagon along with the next hot take for clout and perhaps even say something that they don't mean. I have also given up on the idea that there will be some event that bridges the gap between facecam streamers and Vtubers.
With all of that said, I just wanted to vent out a little bit and hopefully help some people understand what the "point" is, since others want to so badly tell us what we're supposed to be doing.
Discord saw this first~!

Your friendly reminder to credit your artists on twitch!
Doesn't matter if it's emotes, overlays, assets, model, or even your design mama. CREDIT THEM!
I get so sad when I see such cute emotes or alerts and no credits to those amazing artists.
You can even embed links to them!
