An Anituber is YouTubers who focus on anime (and occasionally manga).

They often create video essays with analysis, comparison, theories, or meta about anime.
What does my dad have in common with Nemo? They both can’t be found.

not an anime but


I am not joking.. this is all true.

Its been 3 months since i watched this video and I still cant enjoy hentai because of this video.
whenever i try to do it ,, her being so wholesome and cute comes into my mind and i cant continue the video

so i had to switch to doujins (they are way better and have more variety but thats a topic for another day)

Not that I can think of. Fandoms have made me not want to interact with shows plenty of times, but Anitubers are something I just started ignoring after a while. There's just this issue that plagues that whole thing of needing attention, and I mean literally needing it to try to build their platform and sometimes even make a living. This results in very stupid videos, very obnoxious takes, or very unfunny humor. Years ago I always wanted to rail on some of the worst offenders, but they're just shitty clickbait journalists in execution and paying their word heed can very often amount to taking in deliberate misrepresentations being used to further their bottom line of attracting viewers and attention to their channel, i.e. Mother's Basement.

Or they can be Gigguk or TheAnimeMan and just make me not want to watch their content based entirely on how difficult I find them to watch. It's just too awkward and weird with them. I don't detest their platform as much as I just can't deal with the HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW WEEBS energy they have.

Same situation with me. After knowing that she's a Vtuber and watched some of her streams. Overflow is not the same anymore.

No, no anituber or anytuber has ever ruined my experience. They're just like me, people with their own opinions and viewpoints, sometimes I agree and sometimes I disagree with them.

What's annoying though is anituber's fanbase, that will feel the need to copy their opinion, such as, if anituber says this anime bad/good, there will always be a number of their fans that will parrot that same opinion, even if they never had it before, SAO hate is the best example. Or even worse are the fans that will spam comments/threads like "is anyone here because of "X" anituber????"

Nope. For two reasons. One, I try not to let what others say influence my enjoyment of something. Two, I don't give a damn about anitubers.

Yes. Glass Reflection spoiled Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica for me when I was a few episodes into the anime. The video I watched was not related to Madoka Magica in any way (it was a review of a different anime) but he decided to randomly mention Madoka Magica in that video and not only did he say something which I didn't see or know yet in the anime, but he also showed a scene from the Madoka anime which I haven't reached yet, spoiling a huge plot point. I was furious. So inconsiderate of him to do that. He didn't say "spoiler alert" or anything. He just spoiled Madoka like nothing, and thus ruined my viewing experience of Madoka.

There's also this YT gaming channel that turned into an anime reaction channel (I was subscribed to it for the gaming content), and the creator of the channel really doesn't care about spoiling people. If a character dies in an episode of Naruto or some other anime, the title and thumbnail will spoil it without holding back (I already finished Naruto before she started reacting to it, so she didn't spoil me about anything). She now uploads reaction videos of the currently airing Kimetsu no Yaiba in the same day she watches them, so I have to be really careful of YouTube recommending me that video before I watch that episode myself. It's annoying that she can't wait an extra day before posting her reaction so everyone who is subscribed to her channel has had a chance to watch it. And no, I don't watch her reaction videos.

No, as Joey don't watch anime anymore x), Connor usually makes crane games, cosplay or other weird stuff, Gigguk well sometimes I check his "seasonal" videos as he does and Lost Pause to have fun with memes while I am eating some uber eats x) so nah no one of them ever disgusted anything anime related for me x)
And for reactors I watch occasionally on stuff which interest me as for example Bleach reactions/theories, right now I am only checking out Ayola's reaction for ace of diamonds/aot and Semblance of Sanity to your eternity + aot reactions, that's the only reactubers who is actually really interesting to watch/listen

More like anituber's content makes me stray from the regular enjoyment but not really ruin the whole thing. Mother's Basement is what comes to mind.

Stopped watching him after seeing he has no better content than shitting on Sao and while I am not a fan of it... hearing it that much is pretty ducking annoying

Sao and even mha and kNY even though mha and kNY scores doesn't change much but Sao goes from 8.4 to 7.2 on mal,and many people blindly hate these shows,i myself think that mha manga and Sao LN is way better than anime, but anime is not that bad as they portray it.
Ratings doesn't matter only enjoyment does.
Masterpiece or mid, generic or fresh,best or worst are all subjective
Eren is goat,and aot is still a masterpiece (eg.subjective opinion)

In some way. A couple of years ago, I ran into several woke YouTubers in a row who were edylizing all-female shows and queer/SJW content quite heavily, and because of this, some shows became associated with them. For example, one dude argued that all otokonoko characters should be treated as trans characters.

Never watched an anituber but the only thing I heard is that Shuckmeister is getting ratioed on twitter.

Smh rookie movie jojo fanbase is not like most they will defend every aspect to the death. A single frame of CGI will make AOT fandom shriek in horror but you could make an entire jojo episode in MS Paint and the fans will worship it all the same. A true double edged sword
