Not the parent, but I have the same question.

Your reasons above could be said about streamers in general, but what about VTubers in particular appeals to you?

You all are beating around the bush. Some people like anime girl personas better than 3d girls. It is somewhat similar to the whole furry thing on a few levels. This creates the demand for services/content which we are now discussing. /thread

Not to mention a small minority act and look like children doing art commissions with pretty vile dialogue. See more: https://piunikaweb.com/2026/05/01/uk-vtuber-arrested-anime-a...

Can we talk about how gross it is to call real human women "3D girls"? Is that just me?

Oh I wouldn't say I go for VTubers specifically? It's more about the streamer, what they play and what their commentary is like. I honestly don't care much if they have webcam, vtuber avatar, or neither.
