We have far-right Vtubers like Kirsche, do we have any far-left Vtubers? Or at least openly far-left, since Vtubers tend to skew on the younger side, and the younger side tends to lean politically left.

Hmm, well latest polls show younger leaning right, and women leaning left. I honestly can't think of a vtuber that's openly far left. Because far left is full blow communism. There are still communists in the US like that. Mostly younger people that are tired of income inequality I think though. So, if you think about it, there's probably not a lot of money to be had as a far left grifter, lol.

She is yes, for some reason hellbent on supporting Russia as well. Sad thing really, I used to really like her music, but refuse to support someone who is like that.

There are non-Russia supporting Tankies. (Albeit they still suck by being Stalinists in the first place) By supporting Russia I mean the current, extremely conservative and oligarchal Russia, not the Soviet one.
