hot take of the day: VTubers are the new furries

- niche fandom that is surprisingly devoted while coming across as weird and annoying to outsiders
- many members spend absurd amounts of money on costumes of their character
- most said characters have animal traits
- creators are respected almost to the point of worship
- big dramas that rarely if ever seen to impact anything outside of the fandom
- fans are generally not afraid to be horny on main
- peculiar love-hate relationship with corporations creating in the same motif
- a ton of non-normative creators exist but somehow consistently fail to break out into the mainstream
