It's annoying. I don't know why there's been a sudden influx of people using this term. It already means something else in English so it looks retarded when people use it. There's no need to be weebs and try to replace the English term "vtuber" with the Japanese term "liver". It doesn't even make sense for that to be a name for vtubers since they are less "alive" than traditional streamers. Just stop acting like weebs

It's a term used primarily by Niji-watchers.

Anon, when I said "my liver is about to graduate", I meant my actual liver - the one in my body, the one that regulates most chemical levels in the blood, the one that I need to live - has late-stage cirrhosis and I'm about to die.
It was on-topic because it was in /Morig/

Has their fanbase suddenly increased recently? I used to feel neutral towards them, but they're annoying

Livers do livestreams, Vtubers do videos
It's been this way since 1974

We still call em chubas/vtubers on our end. Only nijinogs who think they're still relevant to influence others to change the term thinks otherwise. See Responses above.

Nijis use Liver since they were livestreaming back when Vtubers still made primarily pre-recorded content. It was a way to differentiate themselves since the term "Vtubers" wasn't synonymous with streaming as yet. There's your free history lesson.

No they are just louder because they actually have something to boast about rather than endless copes about how Selen's 3k totally means that nijien is going to overtake HoloEN any day now, no seriously

People only use it to mean Niji members though, in both EN and JP. I've never seen someone use livers to mean vtubers in general.

Im no Eigo main, so to me reading "Livers" naturally spells out as 'Laivers', as it should. That said its a really silly word conceptually and im in agreement with english autists with broken usage of latin letters, that it should go.

At this point, telling vtuber fans to not use random japanese words that already have english equivalents they could easily use instead is akin to telling them not to breath.

I agree that it's really dumb, but you get used to it after some time. Also, only Nijisanji streamers are referred to as "Livers" which is more of a branding thing for them.
