Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

You can consider it a subcategory of streamer. Livestreaming is all about your public face and persona, it's a lot more front and center than just an icon off to the side here, so someone choosing to present themselves as a character matters a lot. And for many VTubers, they literally are playing a character onstream, there's an entire subculture surrounding VTuber personas.

It's just kinda cute to see Bernie learn about this whole subculture like this.

you know looking at it from the streamers perspective I can see it more. like larping or furry or such.
