oh, sorry. Hopefully the fact that vtubers are predominantly women, like actual women and not entirely fictional characters, will stave off a lot of the misogyny which was created in gamergate. Xenophobia will flare up a little. I just don't know if transphobia can catch on in quite the same way because watching vtubers just doesn't allow as much time for talking during matches and using slurs as gaming. But we will see.
This is one of the things that shows the bad actors aren't lgbt actually. All the targets of this harassment are women. You don't see male streamers presented as getting "attacked", only mildly criticised.
Vtubers are targeted partly because they seem like soft targets, partly because they can't fight back easily due to the insecurity of their jobs tied to the companies they work for (can't make a mistake that brings them into disrepute) and partly because they have absolutely zero respect for them.
