I Can See a VTuber’s Red Pills - Chapter 6
The Next Day.
Maybe it was the aftermath of yesterday, but I ended up sleeping in.
After washing up and eating breakfast, I sat down in front of my computer.
I immediately went to Ggizzik to watch Ajung’s stream,
But unfortunately, it wasn’t live yet.
So I naturally wandered into the gallery.
And what I saw was chaos across all the VTuber-related communities.
More specifically, there was one new word prefixed to them all:
[Ggizzik VTuber Gallery]
– Yesterday’s small-time VTuber broadcast status.jpg
– Is this real?
– Zelnaga-ham changed careers to a VTakoo??
– What the hell’s going on with this gallery?
– So I don’t need my passport anymore to get burgers?
– Let’s look into who this ‘Zelnaga’ everyone’s talking about
…
“…What the hell is all this?”
I couldn’t make sense of a single thing.
I’d entered the Ggizzik Gallery and saw people arguing about me—asking each other “You a VTakoo too?”
So I came to the VTuber gallery to try and learn what this was all about.
And again, it was all about me.
Title: Let’s Look Into Who This ‘Zelnaga’ Is
First off, there’s a famous image you guys all know.
(Roughly: The clip where Hajun donated and lost his V-card.jpg)
It’s a fresh meme from about a week ago.
A streamer was getting roasted by viewers and then smacked them down with a donation.
That’s right. That person and ‘Zelnaga’ are the same.
Zelnaga, who didn’t know a thing about internet streaming,
Chose of all places to learn about it from the Ggizzik Gallery.
These f***ing weirdos in the Ggizzik Gallery injected our comrade Zelnaga with all sorts of twisted knowledge about streaming.
(Roughly: The screenshot of Hajun donating to Ajung.jpg)
And this is the result.
But even if you don’t know any of that—there’s one thing everyone does recognize.
Around 11:00 to 11:30 AM, there’s a strange moment when the Direct Gallery becomes a ghost town.
Where do all the users vanish to during that time?
(Roughly: Hajun spraying hamburgers across the Ggizzik gallery.jpg)
They pack their passports and head here for burger rations.
Remember this well: the time is always the same—11:00 to 11:30 AM.
PS. Sometimes he throws in chicken at night too.
– Take this post down, you f**er
– For real??
– Holy sh*t how many burgers is that???
ㄴ He drops 100 every day
ㄴ On good days, he throws out 500 lol
ㄴ And they’re set meals too lololol
– So you’re saying this guy is a fellow loser who jerks off to 2D/3D without discrimination, donates while looking over his shoulder, can’t even say what he wants in chat, so he crawls into the gallery to vent like the rest of us VTakoos?
ㄴ Bro…
ㄴ Stay strong…
…
I read the post with the most views and recommendations,
And it was basically a full exposé about me.
Apparently, yesterday’s events made a decent splash.
But more than that…
“…They’re saying I learned it wrong?”
There was a part that made me flinch.
They posted a screenshot of me donating to Ajung…
And claimed I learned streaming culture wrong from the Ggizzik Gallery.
“…So I wasn’t supposed to do that?”
What if… what if the people I thought were my friends taught me the wrong way,
And because of that, Ajung sees me as a weirdo?
“…F***ing hell.”
The curse burst out of my mouth.
My hands and feet trembled.
Without thinking, I reflexively refreshed the gallery page.
And then I saw more titles popping up—once again calling my name.
– Hmm.. Burger’s late today..
– So Zelnaga-ham’s coming here, right?
– Wait, do we need our passports?
– They’re panicking over there ‘cause Zelnaga-ham hasn’t shown up either
– Both burger-starved sides are melting down lolololol
– Where the hell is he
– Zelnaga-ham, please show up ㅠㅠㅠ
– I didn’t eat today ㅠㅠ
I glanced at the clock. It was already past 11:30.
Normally, the burgers would’ve been distributed by now.
But I had slept in and completely lost track of time.
I needed to post the burgers today too…
But where should I post it?
I planned to keep watching Ajung’s stream from now on.
So am I now a VTakoo, like they say on the Ggizzik Gallery?
Then does that mean I should now be active in the Ggizzik VTuber Gallery?
Would the Ggizzik Gallery reject me?
I had a million thoughts racing through my head.
I decided I needed to find out—today.

Title: Today’s Burger + Something I Gotta Say
□ Zelnaga
Sorry I’m late
Slept in today
(Burger Set Gifticon 1~10.jpg)
…
Since I’m late today, I added 100 more
Enjoy your meal
Also, there’s something I’ve been wondering
I looked around the Ggizzik VTuber Gallery
And they’re saying I learned streaming culture wrong here
Is that true?
Was I really not supposed to talk crudely or vent emotions during streams?
Did you guys… lie to me?
If… really if… you guys actually deceived me…
I returned to the Ggizzik Gallery, where I’d spent over a week with my so-called friends,
And handed out burgers.
At the same time, I asked them if what I’d read and heard was true.
I hoped it wasn’t.
But when I checked the replies—
I felt overwhelming betrayal.
– lololololololololololol
– Wow… Didn’t think you’d actually fall for it
– You dumb f***, what were you thinking lmao
– Bro… People aren’t supposed to talk crudely and vent at others. That’s just basic human decency…
– What kind of fed-up culture did you think this was lol
– I saw the whole thing live yesterday and laughed my a** off
ㄴ VTakoo much?
ㄴ You f***ers streamed the whole thing yesterday too
ㄴ Hm…
– Of course it was all a joke. Anyone who took it seriously is just weird
– I honestly thought you were nuts yesterday lol
– You made me laugh so hard, man lolololol
…
The very people who gave me bad advice about internet streaming culture were now shamelessly blaming me.
I know people shouldn’t talk like that or dump their emotions on others.
But you were the ones who told me that’s what streaming culture was like.
You said it was the unspoken rule between streamer and viewer.
My hands trembled from betrayal…
Then, gradually, I regained composure.
Someone once said—when rage reaches its peak, it turns to cold clarity.
I deleted the post.
And wrote a new one.
Title: Final Words
□ Zelnaga
I hereby cut ties with the Ggizzik Gallery.
PS. F*** you all.
You’re not my friends anymore.
The moment I deleted and reposted, the Ggizzik Gallery plunged into chaos.
“Where’d the burger post go?”
“Apologize!!”
They all wailed and searched for me, but I immediately left the Ggizzik Gallery.
And headed to one of the places I’d considered my new home.

Title: I’ve Moved
□ Zelnaga
They say it’s customary to pass out rice cakes when you move, right?
But I don’t really like rice cakes.
So I brought something else instead.

…
Nice to meet you all.
– Holy sht
– Zelnaga-ham ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– Zelnaga’s official statement ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
– VTuber Gallery WINS ㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅㅅ
– The dumbass Direct Gallery f**ed up and lost Zelnaga-ham lol
– Victory for the VTuber side lolololol
…
I don’t know why,
But this place feels warmer than the Ggizzik Gallery ever did.
There was still quite a bit of time before Ajung’s stream would start.
So what should I do until then?
I needed to properly relearn what streaming culture was really like—
Not the warped version I’d been taught before.
So I turned to my new mentors.
The people of the Ggizzik VTuber Gallery answered my questions one by one, with kindness.
Sure, a few trolls from the other gallery came to stir trouble now and then—
But they were swiftly handled by the mods and disappeared.
Thanks to that, I learned proper knowledge.
First. If it’s your first time in a stream, observe silently for at least an hour.
Don’t type in chat—just observe the streamer and the vibe.
Some streams tolerate chaos, like what I did yesterday,
But others—so-called “virtuous” streams—absolutely don’t allow it.
Second. VTubers love viewers who chat a lot.
Compared to normal streamers, they place more value on communication.
The more active the chat, the smoother the stream, and the more fun it becomes.
Third. Don’t mention other viewers’ nicknames.
Focus entirely on the streamer.
Don’t act like it’s some hangout community and try to buddy up with other viewers.
That was the summary of what my mentors emphasized.
There were other smaller rules, but if I just kept these in mind,
I’d be fine living as a VTakoo.
I carefully organized their advice deep inside my heart—
And then Ajung’s stream finally went live.
[Did you have a happy day today?]
That title alone showed how kind she was.
As I entered her stream, a thought crossed my mind…
What was that comment again, just now?
It came back to me suddenly, like a flash:
– Remember this: Among small-time VTubers, many just vanish suddenly.
You need to keep them alive by hooking them up with oxygen tanks from time to time.
ㄴ Zelnaga: What does that mean?
ㄴ It means they run out of money, quit streaming, and return to real life.
So if you remember, send donations to keep them going.
ㄴ Zelnaga: Ah, I see.
Quitting because they ran out of money…
That comment wouldn’t leave my head.
So the moment I joined the stream,
And saw Ajung waving both hands at the screen with sparkling eyes—
[Zelnaga has donated 10,000,000 Butter!]
[I’m sorry about yesterday. Please keep streaming for a long, long time.]
I gave her my own oxygen tank.
[“······W-What? No, I mean—wha?”]
And just like that,
She broke again.
