>Why don't they ever act like the character they play?
thank god they dont do this.
I imagine almost none of them are good at acting or improving.

Because that would be too tiresome to keep some retarded gimmicks which you haven't even invented for yourself and doesn't fit your personality.

Actually they should remove storyline backgrounds from characters all together since nobody ever cared about them except maybe Pekora, Polka, Mori and Ina/Watson (for few weeks). Gura instantly dropped bloop and doesn't even mention atlantis.

>>2262905
Watch this one, she is pretty consistent. You can even get hear an awoo every 5 seconds. Also when she is collabing with the sheep, you get animal noises pretty regularly.

>>2262905
Not even thinly veiled who you are talking about. But if you must know, dealing with subhumans at a ghetto applebees is part of reaper training. It is worse than hell itself.

>>2263053
I haven't watched her in a while, her Finnish accent is cute

>>2263053
>You can even get hear an awoo every 5 seconds.
holy shit what an amazing roleplayer

>>2262998
The worst thing is when a superchat asks a lore question and they have to just ad lib a response that usually ends up being pointless

>>2263144
Ame's time travel bullshit was pretty good though.

>>2263091
I catch her when I can, I don't particularly like twitch but she is the best chuuba on that site by far.

>>2262905
Sometimes it's funny or it works. Shion is a shitty, cheeky (pretend) brat in lore and is a genuine kusogaki on stream.

>>2262905
Luna should feel disgusted by their lack of devotion nanora.

>>2262998
>>2263046
I don't mean "act" as in "acting". I mean why do the pick characters that are powerfull and dominant when in reality they are weak-willed doormats?

>>2263219
>I mean why do the pick characters that are powerfull and dominant when in reality they are weak-willed doormats?
You answered your own question

>>2263219
Same reason that goddesses in anime are cute girls who act silly most of the time. Being moe and relatable is more important to people than acting out power levels.

>>2263219
Your planned your thread poorly and failed to convey your intentions.
That said, it could easily be someone wanting to try and put on an ideal personal they can't achieve in their own life. Someone weak wishes they were strong.

>>2262905
Name THREE (3) vtubers with lore that matches 1/1 with their personality

>>2263219
GAP MOE SON

>>2263292
Okayu likes to play video games and eat and is also a cat, so that is one.

>>2263332
Now that i think about it, Okayu is probably the one Holo with the most consistent personality of them all

>>2263219
Because they're not autistic chuunis like you?

>>2263292
Korone is a dog.

>>2262905
What do you mean? Sounds like how women act on a regular basis.

>>2263292
Ollie is crazy, energetic and has cheated death (graduation) and always puts herself back together again despite all the accidents (yabs) she finds herself in.
Got nothing for the house though lmao

>>2263219

Well well well. If it isn't the consequences of answering your question.

>>2262905
because the whole appeal of streamers is that they seem to be real people
at some point the act has to come to a close so people can feel like they're seeing the real you

I honestly don't understand the desire for a streamer to be in-character all the time, since if what you want is people pretending to be a character then you've already got anime and movies.

>>2263292
>>2263332
>>2263362
Oh, I thought you meant personality consistent between roommate and vtuber rather than beginning and end.
Okayu still counts but I would say Luna is the strongest at being consistent.
Luna is an odd case since she is a baby, so her insistence that she isn't a baby and wants to be treated like an adult comes off like a childish baby wanting to be grown up even if it is sincere to an extent.

>>2263452
Don't forget she had lost her family too but now she talks about them all the time so that got dropped pretty quickly.

>>2263487
What if, you could interact with the characters you see in anime/movies and get something back.
Welcome to the original vision/appeal of vtubers.

>>2263292
I know it's a cheat because their lore pretty much begins and ends with "if [x] is removed from their head they die" but still

>>2263537
>Oh, I thought you meant personality consistent between roommate and vtuber
I did mean that tho

>>2263558
mad scientist yagoo revived them (it should be added to the lore)

They are roleplaying a character not playing a character. Small but very notable difference.

>>2263568
well yeah, but its really really really hard to keep the act up in a way that's organic

like, just look at TakaMori
the reason why it makes people (here) cringe is that they keep using the same canned responses when interacting with each other
the ship only really hits its stride during moments when people actually feel like they genuinely like each other

>>2263988
>when people actually feel like they genuinely like each other
But they don't like each other.

>>2262905
>Why don't they ever act like the character they play?
Because autist get equality upset when chuubas stick to kayfabe too much and embrace their personas
There's simply no pleasing you guys

>>2262905
> Thinking that Vtubers are some robots that will be 24/7 in their role and can't have genuinely hard time.
> Thinking that people actually want some fake persona instead of a real, relatable person.

We need to bully the shit out of people like you faggot and make sure that you'll leave this place. You're disgusting piece of shit.

>>2262905
>Watch Polka
>Lore only goes as deep as ima circus.
>No kayfabe persona, just plays herself on stream since 2018
>Uses actual IRL voice
>Everyone thinks she's still in character even off screen.
>Everything is improved, including streaming times
>Avatar is a bat shit crazy clown
>Is bat shit crazy menhera IRL

>>2263569
when you think abt it, Pika fitting to be the center. since you can make magnet and fire with electricity

>>2262905
This is why you should keep it simple desu

Make the chuuba an exaggeration of your real self, not something totally unlike you. It makes the acting easy.

t. a chuuba whose motif is all implicit and no lore.

>>2265211
Would you say she's closer to her current avatar than the former?

>>2265211
Best part of this is that she is fucking good at voice acting, but still decided to go with her normal voice.

>>2265211
This is the way.

>>2263292

>>2263292
>having lore

>>2265211
Being a clown is awesome because she's allowed to be goofy buffoon and nobody can say otherwise because she's technically just playing a character

>>2265312
I say she is closer to the current avatar irl than the former. Early on, she at least tries to play more to the kayfab lore in her former guise. But if you watch her roommates roommate videos where she has no avatar, it's the same as a Polka stream. Same crazy personality, voice, and laugh, which is great because you can watch her very old VOD's on a no stream day to fill in the time.

You know after looking at some of the little profiles on the hololive website I'm not gonna lie some of these are lame kinda glad they don't try to act 1:1

>>2263292
Can I interest you in life-ruining Romanian WITCHES?

>>2263292
Mayuzumi Kai
Tenkai Tsukasa
Kataribe Tsumugu

>>2265211
>Uses actual IRL voice
草

>>2263292
Kiara and reviving herself like a phoenix is very fitting

>>2263219
The same reason why people keep posting chad images.

Everybody wants to appear as a cool guy even though that's never the case

>>2264098
Not in that way of course but as a friends.

>>2265211
POLka's great. I'd watch her more if I could speak gook or the damn clippers cared about her.

Seriously, no one clips the JPs anymore.

>>2262905
Luna worked at Wendy's?
