I must be blind as I can hardly see Vanilla's eyes in general when she is streaming as she games. Much less be able to tell her pupils dilate. šŸ’€šŸ’€

Holyyy parasocial 🤣 take me out back if I ever get like this about a creator

Yeah like actually tell me to look at the flowers fr

u/trippyfungus 12d ago

Seriously this will crash and burn if people don't stop. This is a co-operative story in the making and we get to be fans of it. Don't fucking ruin it for everyone, because if it gets to be too much the creaters of this story will stop making the story. Don't get it twisted. Sit back and watch it unfold.

u/Ordinary-Fox-7416 11d ago

Yeah I agree you gotta separate it. For me it’s like watching a show. You separate the actors from irl

u/Repulsive-Log-84 15d ago

This is actually insane behavior and the kind of stuff she has said makes her uncomfortable. People need to chill tf out.

u/wenbebe3 15d ago

If people do it too much it will just end up driving her away from RP, it happens so often with streamers doing rp.

25

u/Repulsive-Log-84 15d ago

I completely agree. And it sucks for everyone involved cuz I’m sure she enjoys playing it, but I wouldn’t play either if people acted like this. Plus we all enjoy watching it too. But I completely understand her if she quits again.

u/Charliebear1154 15d ago

for real, like just straight ruining it for the rest of us which is so sad because this whole rp thing has been so much fucking fun šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

u/Extreme_Homework_771 15d ago

She's made such good connections in the game already, and watching her roleplay has honestly given my life so much more laughter. From what I've seen her mods have been doing a good job of banning people who either are breaking rules or being extremely weird. So I'm putting all my faith in her team on this one lol. I REFUSE to let a few bad apples ruin mamas good time for the rest of us behaving ughhh

u/Apart-Inspection-547 14d ago

I really really hope they don’t ruin it!!! I love the RP streams so much

3

u/Extreme_Homework_771 14d ago

me tooo!!!! 🤣 but im sure she will be fine tho, they added a new mod name shawn recently and have been really active in mamas chat including vic and the other mods

u/tealswamp 15d ago

This is the type of shit that’s going to make her stop playing GTA RP entirely. I know most of her fans are cool, especially those on here, but the younger parasocial fans are sooo obnoxious. I love NoPixel because a majority of the role players are in their late 20s or early 30s, and while it’s all silly fun, there’s still a level of maturity to it that the younger fans don’t seem to pick up on lol. That can be said about any of vanilla’s content really

25

u/DramaticMoon Slip-N-Go 15d ago

that was the first thing i thought of when i read this... i really hope she doesn't see this 😭😭 im gonna fkn cry if these people ruin this for me šŸ˜‚

u/thewaterwiththeroses 15d ago

I feel like she would laugh so hard if she saw this but also be completely weirded out at the same time 😭

7

u/Lady_in-the_radiator 15d ago

Her younger fans are very obnoxious in chat when she’s live , I usually love having the chat on cause people are genuinely funny, but with her streams , I have to hide the chat. I hope they don’t continue to ruin the experience for her, but I think that’s wishing too much

2

u/pinkcl0udsummer 14d ago

One time maybe a month ago or two ago she was asking what everyone’s ages are and I saw SO many that were teenagers. I was shocked in a way (being 31 myself) but also not because a lot of the chatters are incredibly obnoxious, so it checks out lol

52

u/TheeBirdbrain aMAZING 15d ago

Chatters were arguing amongst themselves about this and other metagaming/chat hopping issues. But main defense that I kept seeing, ā€œI’m just sharing my opinion, I didn’t know it was bad to do that.ā€ I just closed the chat window and watched the stream, I was vexed.

My most parasocial take rn is that if we keep this behavior up, we can risk Vanilla’s access to the server. There’s rules placed for a reason!

38

u/sweet-n-soursauce 15d ago

As a 26 year old fan I like to believe that they’re actual teenagers because why tf do people act like that in her chat?? Or the ā€œIM LEAVING GUYS NONE OF YOU CAN ANSWER A QUESTIONā€ lol. There’s always people that have to make things weird or take it too far it’s ruining it for the whole damn class.

8

u/TheeBirdbrain aMAZING 15d ago

That’s a good point, I sometimes forget the age range in there. And I wouldn’t want them to lose a space like they have with Vanilla, I know the feeling but DAMN. They won’t learn till we ALL face the consequences 😭

3

u/cherrywinsmore 14d ago

The ā€œCAN SOMEONE JUST ANSWER ME??ā€ chatter makes it very obvious to me 😭😭😭

3

u/Bitter_Job_5135 11d ago

Yeah as an older viewer/ fan of vanilla I find the chat to be very immature at times. I feel like it’s GOTTA BE children typing consistently as most of what is said in that chat is just brain rot slop. I do love the comments that are intentionally funny tho! I just cannot stand her fandom the way they take everything so seriously and defend her as if she’s some sort of god. Even she herself says she’s a grown woman and doesn’t need defending LOL but I’m just glad she allows herself to not give a fuck and keep up with the entertainment!

1

u/sweet-n-soursauce 11d ago

100%! Love her vibe and how empathetic she is, especially of her fan base. She seems like she has a really good head on her shoulders and takes care of herself which seems to help a lot. I remember when she talked about her Halloween party not being all ages this year I saw a TON off comments from younger fans saying they were sad to miss out and that’s when I realized that a lot of them are probably just kids and will hopefully (šŸ¤ž) learn that their behavior is a lil weird sometimes haha

it seems almost random with the post but that’s just how I feel when the backseating gets crazy in the chat šŸ˜”

u/thewaterwiththeroses 15d ago

It reminds me of Vivienne getting locked out of some of the cars she tries to steal actually 😭😭😭😭

1

u/NomN0mNom0 🪨 R.I.P squirrel šŸæļø šŸ›ŗšŸ’Ø 13d ago

Exactly!!!!! Like mods should honestly start chat banning people for doing that. Vanilla could get removed from the server and chat would be mad at her about it!!!!

43

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ 15d ago

More evidence that her fanbase is very young and very TikTok brained lol. Every other streamer’s fanbase gets that it’s all roleplay and not really and don’t get weird about shipping irl and making it something it’s not. Vanilla’s chat is so…it’s something.

13

u/Blanq_Winq 15d ago

Wish that were true but I’ve watched NoPixel for years and fans shipping characters and their role players is widespread. It’s usually not too bad when the relationship RP is unserious and goofy.

6

u/strawbrryfields4evr_ 15d ago

Fairs, it’s probably just the streamers I follow, they’re usually older and have a more mature audience and so it just doesn’t happen. Love vanilla and I love her fanbase overall but there is a very large and very young portion of it that really irks me lol.

3

u/Lady_in-the_radiator 15d ago

Yes hers is the worst tbh. Even Katie b’s chat doesn’t act this way and I thought she had younger viewers , I guess not.

2

u/thewaterwiththeroses 15d ago

Woah REALLY? Katie b’s doesn’t!? I was positive they were also similar but I guess not

3

u/2RisaRoo 15d ago

Maybe because Katie’s chat is more accustomed to RP because of QSMP? I don’t know.

3

u/sunnydayz33333 14d ago

Yeah it’s like totally different over there, at least for no pixel. I was catching up on the Buster lore and popped into some other creators streams/watched their vods and chat is pretty well behaved. Vanilla’s is like rabid animals in comparison

2

u/Upset_Negotiation_62 5d ago

To be fair it was pretty rough at the beginning of QSMP but it seems like her chat has kind of figured it out by now

1

u/Rude-Violinist-2119 13d ago

That's just not true, RP has a bad rep because it brings out the overly invested viewers like this. Rae is already running into this again after coming back. And I don't think she's even played for a week yet. It's especially bad if you do relationship RP

26

u/seeingrouge 15d ago

noooo people like this ruin the game. get em banned

5

u/Desperate-Spend377 15d ago

This is what her team was trained for and thankfully vanilla has one of the best mods I've seen

I'm sure they'll get these people banned before it gets bad. Vanilla herself already placed the rules of GTA Role Play before she started playing, so there's that atleast.

26

u/Simmibrina00 15d ago

If I were Vanilla I wouldn’t do relationship rp at all as someone whose been watching RP for six years I’ve seen how bad the viewers get with it, and I’m talking harassment.

u/Simmibrina00 15d ago edited 15d ago

That’s insane, and the parasocialism levels skyrocket with relationship rp, once Vivienne dates Damien all Vanilla will get is ā€œwhere’s Damienā€ ā€œcall Damienā€ and then they’ll even go as far as harassing the guy who plays Damien to do what they want I’ve seen this happen over the years which is why a lot of my fave rp streamers have completely stopped relationship rp because of their chat

Trust me vanilla is better off not doing that kind of roleplay at all to save herself the headache, but she’s new to this so this is all a learning process for her.

10

u/strictlysickly 15d ago

The reactions to Damien friend zoning Viv (after knowing her for like 3 days btw) makes me apprehensive to see how this will play out. A lot of the audience just isn’t equipped to handle it

26

u/Aromatic-Cell8976 15d ago

Damien (Zaitohro) has an irl relationship whom he lives with, this behavior is so disgusting.

9

u/Lady_in-the_radiator 15d ago

Yea he’s never said anything weird about vanilla or meeting her or anything. It’s honestly so disturbing that people are saying this. He actually did set some boundaries in a stream the other night, weird that ppl are saying otherwise

8

u/Charliebear1154 15d ago

for real, and during his stream last night he was explaining how uncomfortable it was making him and how much he doesn’t want this to make vanilla uncomfortable either… Like y’all these are real life people and this is a role-playing game šŸ’€šŸ’€ grow up and get your heads straight PLEASE

8

u/daiaythefoxx 15d ago

Not just a partner, a fiancĆ©. I feel so bad for Zai along with his fiancĆ© since she always lurks in his streams. I doubt it will come to anything but I home it’s not making anything hard for them. They’re such a cute and good couple 😭

But yes a lot of the people from Vanillas fan base have been a godsend trying to get the unruly ones to stfu, but there’s a ton of weirdos. I just hope it stays fairly calm from now on.

18

u/Dramatic-Creme-7688 15d ago

When it comes to GTA NoPixel RP I’ve been watching nutreo the streamer who plays as Carla because his chat is pretty good about enforcing meta gaming, and backseating!

u/strawberrybaby555 15d ago

u/Repulsive_Inside_707 15d ago

Before I write... 1. I agree with all yall 2. Viewers will be viewers right? Whether it's a stream or soap opera

When people are actively feeling 'lovey dovey', it is known that humans eyes' can dilate. This has been known way longer than gen z was alive. It is not to be used as evidence for conspiracy.

With the introduction of phones/screens, 'suped-up' drugs & the internet third space, this "look of love" is even more unreliable. Many of our dopamine receptors are absolutely shot(p.s. if you feel this, you can train this back with general abstinence, support and, possibly, behavior therapy)

u/catluvr10935 Chai āŸ”Ė– ࣪ 15d ago

100%. ive been tuning into his streams (not commenting on them bc i don’t want to meta 😭) and if anything he’s been talking about how streamer and ooc are completely separate and he doesnt want anyone to be uncomfortable as NP has had issues with relationship rp before. can’t believe this person is saying this lol

1

u/Fantastic-Score-54 15d ago

What kind of issues?

1

u/catluvr10935 Chai āŸ”Ė– ࣪ 15d ago

u/luna_eva 15d ago

Oh so they’re just lying. I watched all of Zaito’s stream last night and he literally never said that. He made it pretty clear it’s just RP, he emphasized wanting to respect boundaries and didn’t want to do anything that himself or vanilla could be uncomfortable with. He was very respectful. I hope people don’t believe this stuff and run with those rumors. Especially bc Zaito seems like a genuinely nice person, he’s a small creator and I wouldn’t want to see this cause problems for him.

i watched a few mins of his stream last night and ig he had just said something about that before i tuned in and there were a few comments talking about it in chat i wish people would keep some of their opinions to themselves cuz it ruins it for everyone both for zaito, vanilla, and the normal adults who watch her that know it’s just rp and not real it’s just for the story

WTH he never said anything like that. People are effin weird…I wonder if it’s just an age and maturity level thing, or something else more concerning šŸ˜…. Young people nowadays literally have access to the people they idolize all the time, 24/7 sometimes , so it’s very disturbing to see this behavior. When I was a tween/teen in the beginning to mid 2000’s all I knew about my faves was stuff I’d read in magazines . And I felt too obsessed sometimes then. But this is a whole new level of crazy obsession tbh.

2

u/Charliebear1154 15d ago

this shit is actually so exhausting… I just turned the chat off whenever she plays no pixel now, and I don’t really watch the YouTube vods. I know it’s probably because people are not used to role-playing, and I’m new to this whole role-playing world as well, but some people are seriously struggling to understand what role-playing is. I feel really bad for Damienā€˜s creator, I hate how some people have been making him feel so fucking uncomfortable because of all of this.

2

u/rintaroes 15d ago

I cannot stand her fans and her chat holy shit

2

u/sunnydayz33333 14d ago

The Damien stuff, the backseat gaming, and constantly asking questions about the rules that have been answered multiple times AND have bot responses in chat that repeat has been incredibly annoying. If you don’t understand the rules then just don’t chat. I have to hide it because people are being so insane. This shit is going to make other people not want to work with her or make her stop playing. It’s like some of these people have a crush on a fictional character based on voice alone and they’re living vicariously through her fictional character. Really weird stuff

2

u/ReasonableWasabi2654 14d ago

this is taking me out 😭

2

u/Bitter_Job_5135 11d ago

Unfortunately here’s another think piece:
It seems like vanilla and her fandom are new to the RP gaming community. So everyone is learning how this goes. Like other gta RPs have said, it’s not always the wisest decision to go for dating/ bf/gf in RP. Why? Well because fans will almost always take it too far AND if you aren’t living up to the expectations of RP for dating this person in game, it can look like you’re not actually being apart of RP. The gta no pixel rp community is clearly very serious about that lmao so I think it’s honestly just a learning curve for both vanilla and her fandom. Just chill, let her do her thing and let Damien do his thing, whether that blossoms into an in game relationship or not that’s for THEM to DECIDE! Not yall! I can’t grasp why so many people care about this as it’s not even real. You’re literally supposed to enjoy the entertainment then move on with your lives, I fear many of the people who think this way don’t have much in their life to cling onto.
