like these ppl are real and do exist in the vtuber community but they're probably hanging out in your fave comfy cozy no politics corpo's streams instead
fully agree, the community on here has been dragging this on for a month or more, saying empty platitudes and honestly putting up strawmen but not actually acknowledging this reality of the issue or giving definitive info
People say a lot of things that they don't often have the opportunity to truly put to the test.
As a small creator, the hard part is not banning a right wing troll from chat, but putting your foot down when a community member crosses a line and then starts to whine that you're too mean.
We're at the point where an affirming "yeah I hate bigots" spree feels needed because shit is completely ridiculous, but it has always struck me as a little performative.
Sometimes performative feels like that's all there is to do, when you have no other social power, tho.
i have this feeling but not sure how to put it into words
same reason i don't post all over my account FUCK NAZIS
cause i hope my actions show already that would be my stance
i don't need to repeat it over and over
problem is mostly the corpo space but normies will see that first so bad impression
i'm a little concerned the needle will go too far the other way and if you don't post in the POST HERE IF UR NOT A NAZI threads people will be suspicious of you
idk the internet and it's people are addicted to performance or something
im glad others are saying it, i literally made a post like this the other day because i saw DROVES of people taking it as an opportunity to self promo, instead of actually taking a stance or acting on it. its really disheartening to see honestly.
esp since in my experience, most Indie VTubers do not mean that and get mealy-mouthed as soon as 1) a bigot bankrolls them or 2) is their popular bestie/oshi or 3) it means they get a chance to be Corpo Famous
I haven't stream in a while, currently trying to rebrand, But when I was I only 'type' of Nazi like where anti-furries, typically if they ask questions fine but when they get into "You are a ###" that's when I do 2 things.
Shut them up myself, or my small group of viewers drowns them out.
Only had that one time problem, and if I did see an actual Nazi they are not staying long. First rule in my chats are have common sense and they lack the Penny's for it.

and if it IS obvious it probably isn't gonna be literal nazi dogwhistles
and they're not doing shit about it
