There is no gore on this site, the closest thing to such content is on the Helltube section of the site, however the image in question is censored. That being said, I've moved that specific part of Helltube lower down the list so users can choose to heed the content warning and back out.
yeah, the social dynamics of streaming are vastly different at scale and i was mainly talking about the biggest vtubers, though i think it is fair to generalize to them because that's where the vast majority of viewer-hours are spent.
i think the main problem is that the same word (streaming/vtubing) is used to refer to what might as well be two completely different means of social interaction, depending on the audience size
a stream with a very small audience is similar to hanging out on the couch with the fellas while one person plays a video game on the tv, a stream with a very large audience is more like attending a concert or sports game
