It's really sad how often I see this take because that's not what ASMR is at all:

Genuine ASMR is good if you can experience tingles. For reasons we don't fully understand, a lot of people can't. So to them it just seems like coomer bait or GFE shit for incels. Conservative estimates put the number of people with "ASMR sense" at ~20% of the population at minimum while more generous estimates go up to 70% at maximum. It's a shame camwhores found out about it and bastardized the term so they could justify their glorified audio porn. It isn't surprising though, because a lot of people either don't understand what ASMR actually is or flat out don't believe it is a real thing. The original ASMR content didn't have sexual OR romantic overtones. It was things like watching someone go to a doctor or listening to someone quietly read a book. People quickly figured out you could trigger the response with certain sounds so tapping and scratching videos became common. You can find lots of ASMR videos on youtube that are just people performing triggers with no talking, let alone roleplay, at all.

Then came the girlfriend roleplay because, as mentioned before, many people CAN'T actually feel the tingles themselves so they just listened to relax. Women see a market of people wanting relaxing videos and do girlfriend whisper roleplay. Some people do still get tingles from this so it's not a total loss, but you can see how things have shifted due to a lot of people just not "getting it". Finally came the thots seeing "pathetic virgins looking for affection" and so they decided to start deepthroating their mics because they don't have any other marketable skills. Now ASMR gets associated with this audio porn and youtube occasionally goes on a warpath trying to nuke it off the platform. And that won't change because people who can't feel tingles will never believe it was ever anything but lonely men looking for attention from women.

TL;DR Women ruin everything.

Yes please get those retarded thots away from the ASMR genre. Coomers fucking ruined the entire meaning of the word. People don't even understand what ASMR is anymore. It's about triggering a tingling sensation in the back of your head/neck. Not about making your dick hard. People used to know this and make trigger videos that weren't even remotely erotic. Now it's just camwhores deepthroating their goddamn microphones. The whole thing gives ASMR a bad name and makes Susan target it with extreme prejudice. I've done a full writeup on this in the past that you can find by searching the filename.

As much as I love her other content, she doesn't get tingles and it really shows in her ASMR quality. Finally came the thots seeing "pathetic virgins looking for affection" and so they decided to start deepthroating their mics because they don't have any other marketable skills.

all three are valid reasons / ways to enjoy ASMR
triggers for the tingly feelings are really person-specific, you just need to try lots of different content if you really want to find it

This graph or diagram or whatever the fuck it is explains why so many people think ASMR is just for jerking off, if you don't experience ASMR tingles, the only way you can understand something like origami ASMR is "people must have a crippling paper fetish" or "people really want to pretend they have a girlfriend interested in origami".

>Did Fauna convince them somehow to give ASMR another try?
Fauna convinced them that giving tingles is a legitimate reason to do ASMR and that the audience will react positively to it, they thought it was all about the erotic/intimate stuff Fauna also showed them a little bit of intimacy doesn't hurt anyone and makes some people very happy

Fauna does the bottom-right kind of ASMR. If you don't understand some of the other appeals of ASMR besides intimacy and eroticism you might think she does GFE but she really doesn't. Her superchats would be a lot higher if she did.

it's because of this phenomenon, irony-poisoned retards who don't experience the asmr response and are conditioned to hate any kind of intimacy experience with a streamer can literally only interpret asmr streams as erotic

>>16339443
ASMR is extremely controversial if you're actually trying to rank them, because apart from having individual preferences for different kinds of experiences and different kinds of triggers within those experiences, there are also literally brain/physiological differences that make some experiences inconceivable to half of the listeners

People thought Fauna was GFE because of this phenomenon. She is maxed out on Tingles with a little bit of Intimate and no Erotic. If you're part of the 60%~80% who don't experience ASMR tingles, you would instead interpret Fauna's ASMR as "Intimate and Erotic, but not very good at either". Both Intimate and Erotic are part of GFE, so doing both poorly naturally leads to seeing her as a failed EN Rushia while the other 20%~40% who DO experience tingles are praising her as effective, dedicated, and improving.
