oshi

A romanization of the Japanese word for “push” (推し). Among streaming communities, specifically Virtual Youtuber communities, it is used to refer to a streamer whom a person supports wholeheartedly, and in a manner greater than others within a particular industry or group. Reverence of said character can result in varying degrees of obsessiveness from occasional monetary donations to hoarding expensive merchandise

A: That is some really… interesting artwork you retweeted! I saw you had a pillow with that character on it, what anime is that?
B: That’s my oshi. He’s a wolf-boy mafia boss , and actually, he’s a VTuber from Holostars.
