Full context [CW: transphobia]

I love that vtuber fans raise so much shit when some content moderation comes in because they want to feel more comfortable on their own stream so people lose their shit and harass them until they have to fucking leave. It's so fucking bizarre to see so many people so confidently fucking wrong about the damn slur. It's a shame that she seems to have backpedaled on it and unbanned the word now but goddamn shit is bad.

    Can you name the vtubers? I've only seen the more mainstream ones on youtube and considering who hangs around in their friend circles I assumed they would only care in the broader sense of no obvious bigotry.

      I feel like most of the people I recommend would get me taken away by :volcel-judge: but they're also pretty chill as well.

      Nyanners explicitly states no transphobia in her rules which compared to most bigger vtubers I've seen is somewhat unique since most just tend to say "be nice." She's done some collabs with more sus people in the past like Sodapoppin but generally the people she hangs around are also pretty chill. Her discord has pronoun options and other stuff too.

      Projekt Melody is pretty trans positive though her chat rules don't explicitly mention transphobia on Twitch or CB, a lot of her sex educational content on youtube is specifically worded to be trans inclusive. Her first rebooted episode of Lewdcast had a few of her friends where they spent some time talking about some of the bullshit sides of sex work.

      Beyond those two I haven't really watched enough of other people to be confident in giving a full throated recommendation.

      Personally, the more openly queer vtubers tend to be a bit better about this stuff overall and independent people just do what they want. Like Scraeming said, the cultivated idol approach does allow a very toxic mindset to grow in the community where indies tend to be presented as just regular people.

        Nyanners I knew about already. She already has the eternal ire of 4-chan weebs so she's arguably the only one who has nothing to lose. Im really shocked that Melody is that cool with how much I remember the absolute worst weebs singing her praises. I used to watch iron mouse but then I found out she's genuinely friends with the :le-pol-face: ghoul that is Nux Taku. So that sucked.

          Didn't Nux have a falling out with the VShojo crew? I'll be honest, I've been pretty out of the loop for a while now, but I did hear something about that.

            It got resolved in the background I think? I know a few of them including Iron mouse ended up apologizing to him very quickly. Nyanners especially was quick to to tell him to fuck off and I don't think that was ever walked back publicly.
