He deserves recognition. But is anyone else a little bummed that vtubers were hardly nominated outside of the best vtuber category? And best vtuber went to someone who doesn’t even consider himself a part of the community? I feel a bit disheartened ngl. It is funny, but sucks to see your community and what you’re passionate about not even be taken seriously or get a seat at the table. 🫠" X user @Maple_Chicken posted.What did TheBurntPeanut say after winning the Best VTuber Award at The Streamer Awards 2025?TheBurntPeanut was co-streaming The Streamer Awards 2025 on December 6, 2025.
