Unhinged Vtuber (what even *is* a Vtuber?) turns out to be...well, unhinged. An unhinged Vtuber, to be more exact. Not sure why this is even a thing, LOL. We are in the click bait/gossip/pseudo-celebrity corner of YouTube, which usually doesn´t interest me. Parasocial relationship, anyone?
A certain Riro Ron was terminated by her talent agency after sleeping around with the talent manager, creating a "harem" of fanboys, and accepting lavish gifts from at least one of them. Sounds like any celebrity I know, so what is the scandal here, really? The content-creator laughing at her, Mujin, doesn´t seem to think Riro Ron is *that* dangerous either, since he wants to record a live stream with her?!
It seems Riro broke the first rule of VTube by actually showing her real face on social media. And yes, she is cosplaying as her own VTube persona. I suppose that makes her even more parasocial to some people.
Whatever.
