It started as an April fools joke (Lina &amp;#x27;took over&amp;#x27; Marcan&amp;#x27;s live stream), but Marcan seems to enjoy it a lot, even going so far as contributing to the Inochi2D software (used to render Lina) to improve all sorts of facial features.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have the impression that in Marcan&amp;#x27;s case it was ever about anonymity, it is more about a creative expression.&lt;p&gt;Up until Lina&amp;#x27;s introduction on April 1st, I had never seen a vTuber stream, and I must say it is quite fun to watch. Though personally I wish Lina&amp;#x27;s voice is tweaked a bit, because it can be hard to understand what she is saying.</text><parent_chain><item><author>anxiously</author><text>Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me?

They want to have something there to represent themselves instead of just streaming a screen and nothing else, but they would rather that representation be an avatar or character rather than their physical selves.</text><parent_chain><item><author>anxiously</author><text>Can someone explain this vtoon trend to me?
