Okay I will fly the Old Guy flag proudly and paste a definition:
A VTuber, or virtual YouTuber, is an online entertainer who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics and real-time motion capture software or technology.
Straight from Wikipedia.
- drBonkers 5y agoI don't think this one is an old guy thing. No one I know in their 20s would know what a VTuber is. Thanks for the definition.
- psyc 5y agoI'm in my forties and have known exactly what this was for years (ever since Hatsune Miku), but still had to look up the term "VTuber", which I did not recognize.
- csande17 5y agoIf you want to get nitpicky, Hatsune Miku is a voice synthesizer and character design that anyone can use, whereas VTubers usually have one person who "is" the character. A VTuber is basically the video equivalent of someone who uses a fake name on an internet forum; fans generally think of them as real people with coherent personalities. (Whereas any personality Hatsune Miku has is more like a loose convention among all the different artists who use the character.)
