How to define traditional idol

Traditional idols are limited by personal and popular perceptions of the idol, so the primary target of traditional idols is a more popular group, while virtual idols on the contrary, because the vtuber is a form of idol that can do all people's participation.

The form of the idol, gradually from the worship system idol to the cultivation system, but the idol to meet the spiritual needs of the logical kernel has not changed. According to a survey by QQ.com, the three main influences that idols have on the post-00s are: spiritual inspiration, life goals and value guidance, providing a positive sense of meaning and self-worth projection, which are the spiritual needs that idols can satisfy.

The emergence of 'virtual idols' is also motivated by the same vision. By avoiding the potential risks of the real thing, and by portraying characters that are inhuman, perfect, and touch the public's senses, the output stimulus has been stabilized to satisfy people's spiritual needs. However, the false but perfect characteristics of 'virtual idols' prevent them from delivering a sense of calling, and will only flow into a terrier culture that is instrumental and unable to break the circle, and ultimately dwarf the spiritual needs of the audience. The arguments are as follows:

First of all, the real stories and personalities provided by 'traditional idols' play an irreplaceable role in triggering *** feelings and providing inspiration. A 2020 study by East China Normal University showed that the stronger the objective similarity between two individuals the easier it is to generate **** feelings.

The similarity between 'traditional idols' and us comes from two aspects: first, from the dimension of time and space, 'traditional idols' are independent individuals with biographical life, whose experiences are real occurrences that can be traced and witnessed. For example, Cai Xukun had practiced for many years before joining the Idol Practitioner, and he endured the setbacks purely out of love, not for the sake of molding a persona to ensure the purity of pursuing a dream after becoming famous.

Secondly, although the idol industry is often criticized for being industrialized, as real people, the unstructured nature of the free will of 'traditional idols' allows for frequent moments of genuine emotion, which are often the most moving. For example, Yang Beyond's uncharacteristic cry of "I'm really anxious" on the night of her breakup was an unexpected moment that immediately touched us, who are also anxious and vulnerable.

In contrast, it's hard to get ****ed up about the setting of a virtual idol. When some 'virtual idols' claimed to have been sexually assaulted in order to make up for their past personas, netizens widely criticized them, saying it was a marketing ploy that borrowed from the real-life suffering experienced by others as a means of gaining eyeballs.

Because 'virtual idols' are choreographed and set up to know better, we can only feel the deception in their stories. And even if there are cases of **** love, that kind of **** love comes precisely at the moment when the virtual idol reveals his human side. When the staff member playing the 'virtual idol' Jia Ran couldn't handle the pressure during the live broadcast and turned to sob, people turned against the shade and suddenly ****ed up the situation, saying in their pop-ups that he's just a punching bag, too.

People can **** love precisely because the 'virtual idol' can not virtual, traditional place. And as technology advances in the future, when 'virtual idols' become perfect AIs that don't get stressed and don't work hard, even that chance of ****ing love will cease to exist.

Secondly, the close proximity and high-frequency interactions of 'virtual idols' will not fulfill spiritual needs more efficiently, but will instead bring the idol closer to a tool that provides sensory stimulation, dissolving the spiritual value that 'traditional idols' can provide.

There are two ways in which virtual idols can fulfill people's needs: direct sensory stimulation and the culture behind them.

Direct sensory stimulation is the fulfillment of tool attributes. When an idol is ready to appear and interact at any time, and its settings are all in code, I treat it no differently than I treat Siri.

The close proximity and the mode of interaction alienate the relationship between the idol and the fans, when the fun can only rely on the real interaction of the community in the terrier culture, and this terrier culture of the community due to the high barriers and subculture of the core is destined to be unable to be widely transmitted, and so in the wide dissemination of only instrumental sensory stimulation, can not be involved in the spiritual realm of the needs.

All in all, what we want to explore in this debate is not about an "easy to collapse idol" or an "easy not to collapse idol", but rather, in the culture industry, which one of the "real imperfections" or the "fake perfections" can point to our respect for the spiritual value and self-worth.
