It's like many things, it depends on the person consuming it.

Not exactly. Is a good thing that there is variety of vtubers so is fine for me.
The real problem is when is done by not-so-sane individuals(See Rushia for example).
The main thing is that if is done with genuine feelings from the vtuber, I guess is not a bad thing as long is self contained, but that puts you in a box of limitations of stuff you can do and how you are seen.
For the other hand, if you offer it as part of your content and is not a fundamental part of your identity as a chubba, well that is something more manageable. You offer the Experience as part of the content and not as something you do as part of your own identity.
Just for the record, I believe most GFE chubbas are either people with some serious issues of self-esteem or just very lonely and in search of some validation, or they are professionals who know damn well the game of love and affection, and might and might not have bf or male friends.
Either way, is all part of the ilussion that needs to be treated carefully, as it brings the most lonely, and sometimes, deranged people. But overall is very profitable!.

It's good, it's providing an essential service for very lonely men who just want an smidgen love and affection. This sort of thing isn't so uncommon in Japan. Most men know exactly what they're getting into, and both the streamer and the audience are concenting individuals. But normalfags will stand on their high-horses and preach and preach about how 'unhealthy' it is, usually Twitter trannies, for whatever reason they have a real disdain for GFE. Roasties too, they fear the GFE chuuba.

Even better if there is AUTHENTIC gfe (not the pandering one). Something that evolves naturally between the streamer and their audience. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen no matter how much people want to pretend like it's a lie. True GFE is a respectable and something we absolutely need in this society where 3DPD whores are chasing every chad dick available to them while shaming men for being incels or rapists.

Basically discount anybody that resides outside of Japan for starters. That is a filter for whether or not it is authentic. There is just something about how people are raised in Wesetern societies that makes this kind of thing impossible for them. It's partly the EoP vtubing space as well, the western scene has a real stigma against anything that resembles GFE/parasocials and will unironically outcast you if you try to make it your stint, or try to change you. This is why there is no Western Rushia. A few have already suggested some JP girls in this thread if you want some form of authenticity.

I've been enjoying it for a long time now with Rushia and still am with her right now. She had a stream scheduled today but was cancelled due to her medication did something to make her ill. As long as you know what you're getting into and don't turn into some anti mf or schizo nut case then all good. I don't like how some of you calling my wife Rushia not so pleasant words. Nobody helped her or sided with her but people like myself when that shit went down. She's still affected by it to this day so lay off.

Anyways, I have high doubts any girl polluted by the west will be any good at GFE. I really believed Finana of Nijisanji was a good potential as her color scheme and all reminded me of Rushia but then nope it was too good to be true. I'm not really sure about Nene Amano of kawaii and her whole history but she seemed one. Remillia of phase connect is interesting to watch too on occasion.

I also wanna point out there are some vtubers that play around with GFE in a teasing way like Reimu of Nijisanji. I don't know anybody else.

There's nothing inherently bad about it. People turn to streamers (and streaming, really) because their basic social needs aren't being met. For a lot of people romance is part of that.

I think it's wholesome when it's people with the same circumstances coming together to support each other, and if there's actual empathy.

I think it's sinister when it's just opportunistic haves targeting have-nots.

No, it's not. Unfortunately I had a religious realization of the same kind about Christian God. Everything is termed in allegories of wheat and chaff and fields and harvests and reaping and it hit me: God doesn't love you either. God just wants to harvest you and eat you, and if you're unfit for eating you get tossed into the furnace for fuel. And religion is the exact same parasocial relationship, real or not you're in a completely one-sided relationship where your every waking thought it filled with the deity and then the deity doesn't really know you exist in any form outside of an amorphous collective of "worshipers".

What's going in with vtubers is like religion. These girls are like deities and oracles that are worshiped, given offerings, and obsessed about by otherwise lonely and empty souls. You're not just getting the Girlfriend Experience. You're getting the Godfriend Experience.

Why does man need this? It's clearly a need, because look at where we are. We've re-invented religion to satisfy some urge within us. Why?

It's amusing what foreign people who grabs hold of the book that has nothing to do with them has all these strange ideologies. Put the book down dude.

GFE has positive and negative connotations concerning male and female desire for connection. It could be beneficial for the streamer too who lacks self-confidence and such.

she doesn't but I get how it looks when you have this strict policy and occasionally make a tongue in cheek rip at MALES on stream etc etc
recently some people on twitter got upset with her for her sperging about male collabs and calling her sexist, and she took issue both with that and with people taking her words to be sexist towards men, even told a fan not to call males icky
you're free not to buy it on grounds that she doesn't want to alienate her fans, in my experience she's tried not to generalize men even when talking about her childhood experiences or stuff like being catcalled

>she doesn't like being labeled anything like GFE
That's silly, why half ass it just for clout, if she doesn't put her heart into it for fear of how others will perceive her then why should I?

I didn't originally think much of her but my gf kept having me watch clips and she's genuinely entertaining

caveat being she did kinda generalize male vtubers somewhere in that thread, something like "male vtubers haven't been the nicest people in my experience" which I kinda get people getting upset over

She doesn't care about her or her fans being called parasocial; she's well aware of how it looks and doesn't care. She doesn't want to be given a label that holes her into some expectation for a type of content. She just enjoys thinking of chat this way and does what comes naturally.

Isn't Shondo literally dying right now? Something about coughing up and sneezing blood? I wonder what's happening to her

Bad because all the girls have boyfriends, unless you're into cucking.
