The worst part about being a creator is trying to keep your cool and de escalate these situations. I had someone ask me out to that vtuber prom live in front of both our communities (barely knew the guy) and it made me feel so awkward and uncomfortable but I just played it off like everything was funny and okay and dismissed that question.
I also don’t know how this isn’t common sense but cmon guys. Don’t make certain jokes to someone if you don’t know their boundaries or their comfort level. Getting told that I’m some “fuck toy” or how chokers on my throne would make me yours for a day is so fucking inappropriate 💀 again, had to awkwardly laugh it off to keep the chat not worried and entertain.
You live and you learn I guess. And unfortunately if that’s your first impression in a collab you’re probably never gonna hear from me again.
I can be raunchy and make jokes too, but I establish that level with friends I already have, ya know?
And that brings us to the lesson we all need to do first. Vibe check first always my homies ✌️
Do you guys have any bad collab experiences?
My worst one was a couple years ago with a VTuber. We were supposed to play Valorant together, but something came up on their end. They canceled less than an hour before we were scheduled to go live. I get that emergencies happen, so I reached out to reschedule… and got completely ghosted. A short while later, they even unfollowed me.
We had similar-sized audiences, so it wasn’t like I was a nobody to them. I was just left hanging with nothing. I hope they were okay, but it definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.
