The Effect Wriggle Streamers Have On Youth pt 2

Parent 4: In my personal opinion, rather than worrying about WhoTube videos, I think the main concern should be WriggleStreams. Streamers stay up for hours at a time, possibly even half a day and all their viewers stay up with them.

Parent 1: *nods*

Parent 2: Yes, from my understanding, it's like hanging out with strangers, similar to how kids hang out with each other. However...It's fascinating how long they manage to stream for.

Parent 3: Ah, yes. My husband does that, however when he reaches his limit he always goes to bed, and whenever I read the chat, viewers do stop watching to prioritize their needs. Sometimes the streamers also take breaks signaling for viewers to do the same.

Parent 4: I'm glad you said that, there's a certain WhoTuber and Wriggle Streamer who does this so well-

Parent 2: I think I know who you're talking about. They're also quite young, he started his account when he was in middle school, which isn't anything remarkable as there are many young WhoTuber and Wriggle Streamers out there, how to put it. He's very weird but at the same time very considerate!

Parent 1: *looks to parent 4* Is he correct?

Parent 4: *smiles* So you also had him in your heart huh? Yes, I was going to say something similar. His name is GrimSmiles.

Parent 3: GrimSmiles? I heard one of my son's friends talking about him recently.

Parent 1: I've never heard of this guy. What does he do? Gaming?

Parent 4: Back in his earliest streams to even now, he'd just stream himself doing his homework. When viewers had problems or homework they needed to solve, he'd also help them or if he had a problem he needed help with he'd ask the chat, he'd also talk about what he learned in class.

Parent 1: That doesn't sound very entertaining.

Parent 3: It's like having an online study group or a homework vlog! How cute!

Parent 2: *That's not all he does. GrimSmiles, always does everything in segments.

Parent 4: That's right. First. Homework, then, video games. Since he dons the persona of the corpse of a gentleman, he always plays horror-themed games.

Parent 2: He can also play the piano very well, he always does cover music for the horror games he plays on whotube. The lad is talented.

Host: Mmm... Why don't we pull up a video of his channel then?

*Everyone pauses to stare at the huge monitor showing a selection of videos, among them one of the thumbnails of a video was a teenager with grey eyes veiled by glasses, wearing a silver wig with medium length hair neatly tied back. He was wearing an apron.

Parent 1: What the heck? He cooks too?

Parent 4: Whenever GrimSmiles goes to take a break on whotube, like eating, he pre-films himself cooking. This gives viewers time to prepare something for themselves as well. He always shares what ingredients he'll be using a day before in advance so they can make the same meal as him if they want.

Parent 3: *Still watching him cook* That looks good. Goodness! I'm drooling!

Host: He does everything, this guy…

Parent 4: Most streamers just stream continuously, and when they do take breaks they'll just play an ad or present the words "We'll be right back" despite his undead persona, he doesn't dehumanize himself by always presenting himself at a desk and only playing video games.

Parent 2: *nodding* I definitely think he's a hidden gem.

Parent 3: Well, it's not as if he is the only streamer that shows himself doing other things but... yes, I'm also interested in him now.

Parent 1: He does… seem like he could have a positive influence.

Parent 4: Ah! If I recall correctly, his latest post said he was moving so he won't be posting for a while, but the thing is he used a sticker with the shape of our country. Many think he's coming here to Japan.

Parent 1: Seriously?! How old is this kid to be traveling on his own? What are his parents doing?! I don't understand parents these days-

*The staff scroll find the latest post to present it on the screen*

Gr:m Sm:)es : I'm moving!!! 🗾

Parent 2: Really?! He spoke it so fluently, always played games from our countries with no English text, and had Japanese household appliances in his kitchen so I figured he already lived here! To think...he's really not?!

Parent 4: Whether he learned it or has Japanese ancestry, I'm not sure. But I'm certain. Whenever he did his homework on the blackboard for math or chemistry it was all in English, the conversion rates were what the U.S used.

Parent 1: You pay attention to the smallest of things don't you?

Parent 4: I've simply had my eye on this person since the beginning is all.

Parent 3: And here I thought you were one of us, who knew little about social media… I feel deceived.

Host: We came here to talk about social media influences but now we've talked about nothing but this person. GrimSmiles, if you've arrived to Japan, welcome! I hope you'll agree to feature on this show someday. It'd be nice to have you.
