Others continued the lurid harassment discussed in the original article. One Twitter user misgendered me and concluded I am a “degenerate” with a “humiliation fetish”. Another used a meme to tell me, “You’re a man.” A third argued “the trans community has a big problem in the room: autogynephilia.” A fourth suggested I created the harassment against myself.
I do not expect this harassment to end today on Twitter. Whether it’s a right-wing VTuber fan using an AI image of Shiloh Hendrix to flip me off, or a harasser encouraging others to “bully fucking journalists,” further evidence of bigotry in VTubing is being created in real time via my Twitter replies alone. In fact, I fear I may become a punching bag for the right-wing in VTubing. One VTuber previously criticized for her transphobia entered my mentions to tell me, “You will never be a woman.”
