I'll disagree with both of you on the concept that "oshikatsu" is something exclusive of eastern culture pointing

Remember the Hansons, of "mmmbop" 1997 one hit wonder fame?
>no you don't, more than half of you weren't born yet
Anyway, their fanclub is STILL ACTIVE, have a PAID FOR members only section and they're actually fucking growing

It was fucking 26 years ago, one fucking song (of relevance) and their fans are still going

The west is no stranger to the concept of "oshikatsu", they just don't call it that but, all in all, it is the exact same thing.
Now, for vtubers and "mainstream appeal" I agree with the original poster but for a different reason:
>too many "ironic weebs" treating their "oshi" as their "seasonal anime waifu"
