I don't get it...

Okay, no, that's the easy way out. Getting older, there are just certain things in pop culture that come out and you just can't grasp the appeal of. It's part of life and you have to come to terms with it eventually. But, it's still good to try. Kureiji Ollie is what's known as a "vtuber", basically a Youtube who uses a computer-generated avatar instead of their actual real-life appearance. Ollie, in particular, is part of Hololive, basically an agency for these Vtubers. So, that's my incredibly nooby introduction to it anyway. This is all pretty new to me! Ollie is a high school girl resurrected as a zombie, an actually pretty dark backstory. Still, it doesn't seem to keep her down much, as she's incredibly perky, loves her fashion, and despite being a zombie, is shown to be rather quick to scare easily. That's a cute dynamic for sure... when I say "I don't get it' I'm really just being facetious. It's actually quite easy to grasp which makes her and many like her so appealing, and of all Vtubers I seen, Ollie is definitely one of the most appeasing to my tastes (wow, Snake likes something horror the best, what a shocker). In practical effect, Ollie is just like any other person who plays video games on stream, with added lore and creativity to make engaging viewers that much easier. It's a formula that proves effective, and I think this trend is only going to become even huger than it is now. That much is obvious. And as various forms of horror and internet creation continue to grow and branch out in interesting ways, it may even create new horror icons that will become as ubiquitous as Myers and Dracula with stories that go far beyond the mere act of streaming a video game. And to me, that's exciting! It doesn't mean I'm going to tune in to Ollie everyday; for the tens of thousands that already do, however, I think they're witnessing something truly great unfolding before their eyes.
