Earlier this year, a popular anime girl virtual YouTuber was discovered to actually be a middle-aged man due to a camera snafu, and now another anime girl YouTuber, Mugi Ienaga, has given viewers an unexpected peek, or actually an earful, of her associated human’s real-world life.
Hopefully her fans will take that into consideration, as well as remember that even virtual YouTubers are produced by real people with their own lives outside the character.
That makes virtual YouTubers sort of like costumed characters at Disneyland.
