19:18 This is literally my reaction whenever I see a shirtless man "sexy" like this (I am an asexual lesbian) but in those cases what gets me through it still is the idea that that person has achieved confidence in themself and their body. This isn't even that.

[@Human_85]

How does that work, (genuinely curious) do you have relationships with women just without anything sexual?

[@mapleboo]

@@Human_85im also asexual and yeah pretty, much. Think about like romantic love and sexual love and just separate them. it's just basically dating someone and just doing romantic things and not really doing as much (or any) sexual activities together.

[@WaitinInAmber]

@@Human_85 Asexual just means "lacking sexual attraction." So there's a wide range of relationships open to an asexual person as long as their partner(s) are okay with them not feeling that attraction. A lot of asexual people have happy and fullfilling romantic relationships. And some asexual people even enjoy sexual relationships (it's not as wild as it sounds. It happens with people who aren't even asexual too. Those "help a buddy out" relationships, are one example). Asexuality is also a spectrum. You have some people who actually do on rare occasion experience sexual attraction, and then you have people who are actually sex repulsed and hate even the idea of it. Basically, the take away is that sexual attraction and romance might generally go together, but not always. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (There are also the aro/ace folks that are aromantic and asexual. They don't feel romantic attraction or sexual attraction. I know that's not specifically related to your question but it felt wrong not to include.)

[@skellyaceart]

I've noticed this with Polar, and I feel that I should mention it: These virtual artists are SO UNEXPRESSIVE. The temporary model I made in VRoid Studio is more expressive than Polar & Meka. While Polar's hair bounces, there is no expression in her face. And for Meka, his braids don't even move, and his movements have no bounce. The clothes (especially the necklace he wears) don't bounce or move with his movement. Not only that, his face feels more like a character suited more for a horror game than an influencer. Emotions are an integral part of who we are. This is why animation places an emphasis on exaggerating the emotions of a character; the facial expression and body language can help the viewer know how the character is feeling in that moment. Especially when the viewer is autistic (including myself), since we often struggle with figuring out how people are feeling when there's either little emotion or none at all visibly shown, the exaggeration that is an essential part of animation helps us know the emotions of the character. I'm aware that I'm being harsh, but as an artist who draws characters and designs them I need to mention these things for those who aren't that familiar with it.

[@IGoByAlllexia]

It's why I don't watch vtubers. There's no expression in their faces, the range is so limited! Yeah, nice that their tits are animated to bounce but when the lips just open and close and the rest of the face stays mostly blank, I'm better off just watching a streamer with their camera off.

@@stereo-soulsoundsystem5070 vocal synths are usually made up with sound libraries/voicebanks that hold samples that are strung together using software and/or ai. available vocal synths vary by software company (yamaha's vocaloid, dreamtomic's synthesizer v, cevio). once purchased or with a trial, notes and lyrics (which may require a special alphabet to input) can be drawn usually into a piano roll. tuning (pitch-bending, dynamics) can then be manually done or done by an ai to make vocals sound different. further processing can be done, as it is all up to the producer. it can be time-consuming, but very rewarding with a unique sound. i'd search up tutorials to get a whole feel on the vocal synth process. as a taste for what vocal synths can do, covers that use solaria are very expressive, and hatsune miku is used in many different vibes since she's the most popular.

[@MostlyAnimatedSketches]

The thing is that these virtual artists aren't just trying to capitalize on Hatsune Miku, I think they're also trying to capitalize on Vtubers. The difference between what they're doing and why Hatsune Miku and Vtubers are so popular is because with the latter, everyone is perfectly aware that there are humans behind it, and it's not something they're trying to hide lol, and yet, the "virtual" aspect is still a selling point. Hatsune Miku is not really her own person or anything like that, she is a voice synthesizer, and the appeal has been that vocaloid producers "bring her to life" with their songs. That has been a huge marketing point for vocaloid since the community came into existence, I think. It also has to do with the fact that people like personifying technology. I just wrote about this for school lol, but there was actually a study done about people who own roombas and many of them acted like their roombas had human-like qualities, and some were so attached they even considered them to be on the level of a pet or family member. This information also served as the basis for stuff like Siri and Cortana's personalities. So of course, it works even better with vocaloid because people directly contribute to it and project onto. And as for Vtubers, it's a little different... when Kizuna AI says that she's an AI trying to learn about human culture through content creation, we all know that's just a gimmick, and that's why it's fun. The fact that anything is possible in Vtuber lore, but it's still a regular person making normal, relatable content is a huge part of the appeal. It's just fun to pretend it's real for a bit. I once heard someone compare it to a play, where everyone is going along with the illusion for the performance. Virtual artists like FN Meka and Polar don't have that and so they feel manufactured and uncreative and immediately fail.
