    I’ve personally never understood facecam game streaming in the first place. I don’t care about your expressions. Then vtubing became popular and it was the same complaint, but more.

      I don’t really watch streamers except for Jerma. But if you watch Jerma, you’re not really watching for competitive gameplay as much as him just always being a comedian like this

      I imagine people watching vtubers it’s the same idea, where it’s less about the gameplay and more about comedy (and probably much more horny)

        I can say with all of my being that I am not the target audience for this sort of content. It’s fine for others to enjoy it but I never will. Vocal jokes and overreactions are interesting, but I’ve never been a fan of funny faces and whatnot.

        I was mostly positing my reason for avoiding facecam streamers to add my perspective, but I phrased it poorly. But I appreciate yours as well!

          Totally makes sense. Everyone has what they enjoy. I think as long as nobody’s hurting someone then “don’t yuck someone’s yum” is a good rule of thumb.

      I have a feeling it’s about copyrighting content. If you don’t show your own face/voice, you’re just streaming game footage which belongs to the publisher.

      Well it’s kind of complex but the TL;DR: is ‘The world is shit, punching down makes some people feel better in the short term’

      Or alternatively: It’s hard to be depressed when you’re angry.

        It’s hard to feel depressed when you’re angry. Just cause you yell at people doesn’t mean you’re not also depressed.

          Let’s compare your wikipedia degree with my half a century of direct personal experience, a minor in dev psych, diagnosed chronic depression AND EDS, and add on top of that an autist’s special interest obsession with biology.

          People like you post this kind of pithy meaningless bullshit all the time on the internet to seem wise, and it works on everyone except people who have directly experience what you are spewing shit about.

          Depression is like alcoholism, it never goes away, you just get better at managing it

            All that… to say you agree with me? Are you trying to stave away depression?

      Sometimes people are struggling and lash out, then when they don’t get the fight they were expecting they deflate and see how foolish they were being, we’re all just human

    Why can people be ugly in this goddamn fucking earth. it’s just so cruel.

    I feel like lookism is not talked about enough, people are extremely toxic when it comes to appearance
