Can I become a Christian VTuber?
Hey Shift, I recently saw some Christian people becoming VTubers, and there's some discussion over Reddit for the ethics of these. Since I've seen you and your friends are currently investing in VTubers, what are your stances about this?
Answer
Well, it's okay to be a VTuber, but remember that:
- You shall treat your virtual identity the same as your real self
- You shall not represent yourself as a son or daughter of animals, from the fierce ones like the dragons even to the cute ones like the cats
- You shall not bound your identity to the devil, death, hell, angels, forms of magic, myths, as well as the isekai you might have dreamt about
- You shall not bound your identity to anything deemed as occults and witchcraft in the real world, such as charms, potions, and amulets
- You shall not deceive every person by making them attracted to you because of your marked-up personality instead of your true one
- Your purpose is to be the true salt and light of the world, not ratifying yourself as a sensually attractive virtual person for the purpose of fanservice
Because you are a child of God, not a child of Japanese idol culture.
Many VTubers definitely fail the above criteria for obvious reasons. Some are daughters of foxes and cats, while some claim to be vampires.
Many, many VTubers intentionally name themselves with Japanese names because they idolize the Japanese idol culture, and they just wanted to have fun in their version of Isekai.
Well, if you wanted to have yourself a VTuber life, remember that you still should do this for God. There are still some valid reasons, though, like online privacy and stuff. The above guidelines should already enough to keep our VTuber life as holy and honest as possible.
