Recently Karl Jacobs (Minecraft streamer that got famous by riding on the coattails of his friends like Dream, Corpse Husband and MrBeast. He's also asexual and a literal industry plant) "Debuted" his vtuber model. He claims it's because he has anxiety and some days can't handle how he looks on camera. What do you think about it? Personally I think both the rigging and model are garbage and they look rushed, but it also wouldn't make sense for him to rush it just to join the trend because it died down a while ago, so I don't know if he is just too much of an idiot that doesn't know what he's doing or what.

I wanted to talk about this because it is funny. Right now the top dog of Twitch and arguably far more Twitch subs than Dream also started Vtubing, RanbooLive. He's never shown his real face before but his rabid underage fanbase have doxxed him plenty and stalked him at parties so instead of doing partial facecam he's decreased that 'due to anxiety' and will start using an avatar. Both of these guys started at around the same time. Now, people in OTV also use vtuber models (Lilypichu, Sykkuno, etc) so it's nothing new that popular Twitchfags have moved to this medium.
But, it will be interesting seeing the space of Twitch pseudo vtubers interacting with the space of vtubers like Hololive and Nijisanji. Lilypichu did have a collab with Hana Macchia and Elira's about to collab with Sykkuno.
If their fans will ever move to watching Youtube streamers and vice versa, well we already know they don't, but young retarded Minecraft children are impressionable. They already only watch Minecraft streamers due to making up fanfiction with the characters they 'roleplay', just wait till they find out an entire medium of this. Never been a better moment to start debuting more EN speaking male vtubers than now, while zoomers are starting to look into it.

Not gonna lie the rigging doesn't seem bad for a 3d rig. Design is kinda lame but not really the fault of the guy who had to model it.

I just really hope this doesn't lead to an increase in doxxing, or at least, that it doesn't lighten the taboo of it. A lot of kids might wanna find a Vtuber's face just because "well, my favorite Minecraft streamer shows his face too, so why not his friends?"

I find Ranboo way more tolerable than Karl. At least he doesn't try to ride every trend and leech of every single person he talks to.

The design is so boring, unappealing and honestly sad to see, because his fans have created far more interesting and impressive designs of his character which is basically making his job for him, he would just have to ask for permissions or pay for the design.

Now I'll flex my retardation here to correct you, Ranboo's entire career is based on leeching. He started off as someone who made DreamSMP fan tiktoks and follow4follow tags, then hopped on Twitch and Youtube and begged to play with DreamSMP peripherals (people who are friends of friends of DreamSMP). One of his first notices was a Skywars guy who ended up recommending him to his friends. He then got noticed by some semi popular Minecrafters for being
a literal who 16 year old who made Youtube skits about DreamSMP that got views thanks to TikTok. He then held a stream where he made a powerpoint of what he'd do on DreamSMP roleplay wise if he ever joined it, and Dream decided to add him to the roster. After that his popularity exploded. He's #1 on Twitch and whenever he falls off to #2 his army of female and LGBT simps dump money to fix that.
He also has the hand of playing into fans whims at every second, like entertaining the mentally ill (especially people who pretend they have multiple personality disorder), talking about being an ex-Tumblrfag gayshipper, pandering to LGBT, etc. This has also gotten him an army of schizo children who literally stalk his address and family/friends IRL
These are the children who are being introduced to vtubers.

Not underage, just had to look this shit up as my siblings watch this garbage and found that the fanbases really do remind me of JP schizos, even down to underage fans attacking others for saying something rude to their male streamers. Except, it's the reverse here as instead of fat ojisans it's mentally ill 14 year old girls.

I don't know who this dude in the OP is, but I'm down with the idea of established streamers and content creators switch to the vtuber thing. It feels like back in the day when forums were popular and everyone was recognizable by whatever their avatar was.

Having a vtuber model is more visually interesting to me than the webcam set up, and actually makes the streamer feel more relatable somehow. Not in a parasocial attachment kind of way, but the way you can instantly feel something by looking at a Vineshroom if you're a Vinesauce fan versus seeing LilyPichu's room in the corner of the stream from a static camera.

I guess branding is the reason for it, that shit works.
