I find it interesting how difficult the concept of VTubers can be to understand for some people (not the one in OP obviously) - it's not like using an avatar (or a costume) to represent yourself is a new thing. Sometimes it feels like the world is going backwards in some regards...
It’s just “new thing weird”, really. No one had issues with people like HowToBasic or Dream not showing their face, it’s just that people see the virtual anime avatar and are confused (or horrified, if they’re that kind of people).
I fully believe it’ll become as accepted as anime if they don’t somehow lose the momentum.
Yeah, it's just kind of funny when people will interact with/consume content with a very similar premise to VTubbing without a second thought and then turn around and be utterly confused on "but why/how/what even is this?!".
