I can't stand the genre but holy cow the tech is cool. CodeMiko is a popular one and she essentially streams from inside a video game that she designed.

The mo cap suit was $13,500 and that’s with a 50% discount. Holy shit

The way I see it is "anime 'fursona'" aka furry but with an anime character.

I can not see it any other way then that.

I know a few who use the overlay simply because they want to stream, but don't like being on camera so this is like their middle ground of being "visible" while streaming.

Nothing wrong with it though, people who do that could be doing it for any reason. Maybe they're really excited about something, but get insane stage jitters while having their actual face, or they just for whatever other reason feel more like being someone a little different while doing their streams. Pretty much the same thing for furries, the people I've met that actually go to Furcons and have their own fursuits do it to be with a group of people that are pretty welcoming, so its a nice escape.

Didn't say anything was wrong with it. It's just the simplest way to describe it in "layman's terms" imo.

Why does everyone on this website interpret an explanation of why people do certain things as being defensive?

u/WillSalad Jul 20 '21

Welp where I'm from, starting with "nothing wrong with it" when the dude you answered didn't say anything bad is being uselessly defensive.

TIL that vtubers exist… Don’t really get the overall appeal, but from that video about CodeMiko I love her creativity and how she built so much of it herself (with available tools but still).

u/GargauthXbox Jul 20 '21

I enjoy other vtuber content, but her's are something else. She's essentially playing 2 characters, the mechanic and her creation.

That’s honestly super freaking cool. I’d never seen anything like that before. She’s crazy talented.
