CodeMiko doesn\u2019t understand why VTuber fans are so \u201cprotective\u201d amid PewDiePie backlash Twitch: CodeMikoCodeMiko\u2019s creator, the Technician, called into the H3H3 podcast to share her experience online, and revealed that she doesn\u2019t understand why the VTuber community is so \u201cprotective\u201d following backlash against PewDiePie for his new avatar. VTuber CodeMiko is a rapidly growing creator on Twitch, using an expensive movement-tracking suit to bring a colorful avatar to life in real-time. Viewers are able to spend Twitch\u2019s currency, Bits, to alter aspects of Miko\u2019s environment and body, making her streams hugely interactive, and there\u2019s no doubt that the developer, or Technician as she calls herself, is a genius for setting it all up. VTubers are becoming so popular, that even YouTube PewDiePie wanted in on the action, though his decision to use an avatar in his videos was not well-received by some fans. Some said that his audience is too \u2018edgy\u2019 and would only serve to generate hate towards the VTuber community. However, many also set to work attempting to override the hate against PewDiePie with positivity for the community instead. Pokimane is another example of a creator who was called out for trying to \u2018cash in\u2019 on the trend. Now, after calling into Ethan and Hila Klein\u2019s H3H3 podcast, CodeMiko\u2019s Technician revealed her stance on the whole drama. Ethan asked her why people were so protective over the idea of what a VTuber is who can be a VTuber. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t know. I can\u2019t relate, to be honest. Because every human being is born as a human being, so I don\u2019t understand how you could be protective of it? I don\u2019t know. That mentality I never really understood. I think maybe it\u2019s because I come from the tech side. And maybe it\u2019s because they come from a more cultural, anime side?\u201d Topic starts at 8:50 After Ethan asked whether CodeMiko\u2019s creator feels accepted within the VTuber community, she answered: \u201cI think so? I hope so. I do have a few VTuber friends. I don\u2019t really think about whether I\u2019m accepted, I\u2019ve never really thought about it. I think I am?\u201d She went onto reiterate that some VTuber fans seem to have an \u201canime-central culture,\u201d and that although she jokes that she\u2019s seen a lot of anime, she has actually only read the Death Note manga. It\u2019s clear that the viewers and creators in the community don\u2019t have one unifying opinion about PewDiePie trying out an avatar for himself, but CodeMiko definitely seems to be more open to the idea of others joining the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
