Before the elitists and haters start saying “he’s not a real vtuber” you’re also telling png vtubers and other vtubers who don’t “spend money” on their models that they’re not real vtubers either. V stands for virtual not anime. He’s virtual, entertaining and hilarious and obviously his community showed up for him. You guys just sound jealous to me. Regardless if he doesn’t consider himself a vtuber he does fit the category. It’s clear whatever he’s doing is working.
