Truth is, vtubing is full of fake people hiding behind pretty avatars and even prettier lies.
They wear masks, not the fun kind, the kind where they pretend to care about you, your problems, your life. Some of them are good at it. Most of them are painfully obvious.
They’ll jump on every trend, every issue, every cause, just to farm attention. Pride Month? Suddenly they’re experts. Social issues? Suddenly they’re activists. It’s not real, it’s branding.
Me? I don’t do that.
I’m not here to be polished. I’m not here to be “safe.” I’m not here to make sure everyone likes me.
I’m unapologetically me.
If I think something is stupid, I’ll say it. If I don’t like you, you’ll know it. I’m blunt, I’m harsh, and I don’t sugarcoat anything. But if you’re my friend? I’ve got your back 100%. I’ll go further for real people than any of these fake personalities ever will.
Respect me, I respect you. Simple.
Do I fully understand Pride Month? No.
Do I pretend to, just to look good? Hell Fucking No!
But I do support my friends! Because they’re my friends. Not because it’s trendy. Not because it gets clicks. Because it’s real. And that’s the difference.
A lot of these vtubers are so desperate to be liked that they’ll change who they are depending on the audience in front of them. Different mask, different day.
That’s not authenticity, that’s insecurity dressed up as personality.
And people see through it. Just like a prostitute with 18 plastic surgeries to hide their pimp's 'readjustments'.
So keep the fake smiles, the fake passion, the fake “I care” energy. Clout fades. Trends die. And when they do, all that’s left is who you actually are.
I’d rather be real and hated than fake and praised any day.
