Message: [QUOTE="miguk, post: 81101, member: 1510"] I know you're joking, but that is an all-too-common attitude among VTuber fans. Somehow, if you haven't found them on your own, [I]you[/I] are at fault for not figuring it out, not the fanbase that insists that nothing should be said about their existence to "outsiders" who were just among them a few months ago. It's as if every Hololive and Ninjisanji fan is expected to keep up with the latest Vshojo recruits, scour YouTube for new independents, and keep up with Nico Nico Douga just in case someone goes back to them. Even the VTuber "wikis" don't say anything about who became whomst because they're run by the same weird "fans" that gatekeep elsewhere. And I get there's some concern for privacy, but that only makes sense for their real lives and "past lives." Even with the "past lives," that isn't even a huge risk, as some are still streaming in those (Noel still does her Canan channel, Cali still does her DemonDice channel, Choco still does her Guutara channel, and Kiara still sometimes does the Keekihime channel; Matsuri is still doing something independently, but I forget the channel's name) and others end up returning to them after leaving the corporate job (as was the case for Kson, Mike-Neko, and briefly LemonLeaf). Besides, YouTube's algorithm does more to expose them than any well-meaning fan ever does. [/QUOTE]
