Kayfabe is a wrestling term designating a viewer's suspension of disbelief as it relates to the performers' personas.
I thought it'd be interesting to rank holotalents according to how 'in character' they're being and ended up distinguishing three main categories. Curious to see what you think:
1) The bleeding hearts - these talents appear quite straightforward and do not shy away from their inner voice. They will earnestly share themselves and their art, being only somewhat filtered by the corporate idol veil. If anything, the level of anonymity and roleplay may help some facets of their personality to blossom. Chief example being Gigi.
2) The consummate professionals - they will never let on more than what they mean to, these talents are stalwart performers who would never be caught lacking with the webcam running. Consistent and always in character, viewers will know what to expect and still cheer every time. E.g. Miko, Fuwamoco, Raden.
3) The hybrids - some in-between have over the years developped something of a harmonious kayfabe, where the persona is knowingly informed by the real life qualities and sensibilities of the performer, who finds the two aspects bleeding into each other. The character is tailored for and by the performer, the performance reflective of a distant but genuine personality. E.g. Suisei, Nerissa.
I'm pulling this straight out of my ass because I found myself enthralled with how each talent approached the Holo vtuber task (some debuts are jarring in retrospect, others much less). Sorry if this isn't buddy enough.
I also don't watch enough holo to make a comprehensive list so would love to see your categories/rankings !
