Thank you, I was super confused.
Comment on Hannah Montana was meant as a silly premise, but now it just makes sense.
nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoHannah Montana was a Disney show where a girl was a popstar under a different name and wig so she could be a normal person when she wasn’t performing. VTubers, like Ironmouse that op referenced, are streamers that essentially play characters rather than being themselves in order to preserve their anonymity. They have cameras that track their movement, but rather than just stream the feed of the camera, they map that movement on an avatar, usually a 3d anime girl.

We also have hand youtubers! Or animators abimate their avatars.
A few like legit musicians also hide their face while performing to make it hard to be recognized, but don’t go full Hannah Montana and their real names are known.

Last part: Ado does it.
Live performance on stage but the lighting is set up so the face isnt revealed.

Slow Magic does it a lot. He wears LED masks and keeps his identity secret
