WATER WORKS
British ‘gamer girl’ Belle Delphine selling bathwater to ‘thirsty’ fans for £24 a jar
A POPULAR British cosplayer and self-described 'gamer girl' is making a killing online - and has caused a stir with her latest money-making scheme.
Belle Delphine, who describes herself as a "weird elf kitty girl" is now flogging jars of 'gamer girl' bath water via her online store .

Revealing the stunt on Instagram, Delphine said it was for "for all you THIRSTY gamer boys" when she shared a picture of herself in the bath wearing an Overwatch-themed jersey as she held a jar in one hand and a controller in the other.
She followed it up with a video of her filling some of the jars up while in the bath.
In her online store she claims the jars are "bottled while I'm playing in the bath", and adds the disclaimer that "this water is not for drinking and should only be used for sentimental purposes. "
Delphine has 3.8 million followers where she regularly posts her lewd interpretations of anime and video game characters.

As well as selling bath water, she makes money selling posters of some of those poses through her online store - as well as a mousemat featuring an anime-style drawing of herself.
Delphine also has over 3,000 'patrons' on crowdfunding site Patreon.
There some users can simply offer support for under £1 a month - but for about £4-a-month users can pay for "cute and sometimes weird selfies", as well as behind-the-scenes access to photoshoots.
Those willing to shell out a bit more get "access to lewd HD photosets", or access to her 'personal' Snapchat, described as her "naughtiest" social media account.
The most expensive option is around £2,000 a month, for which the rewards are not specified.
While it is impossible to know exactly how many fans subscribe to each tier, if even half of the total subscribe to the first level that actually gets them something for their money it would mean she is making at least £2,300 a month after fees.

Any who subscribe to higher levels would obviously raise this total.
Even if no-one subscribes at the top level and if just 10 per cent of her fans subscribe to other higher tiers, her income from Patreon alone would be roughly £225,000 a year.
While some users were not impressed with her stunt, many praised her business acumen.
"Belle Delphine is far better at business than Trump. She could honestly probably become president quicker than him," one fan said , with another praising her social media savvy and saying "she’s a badass and deserves the success, super smart".
"Say what you will about Belle Delphine," , "she's a business genius."

Some posting on her Instagram announcement were less charitable, describing her as "a shame to all girl gamers".
Another simple pleaded with fans not to be taken in by the stunt, saying "please no one buy this because that would be extremely creepy and perverted."
Delphine trolled fans earlier in the year by promising to create an account with popular smut-peddlers Pornhub - only to use it to post meme videos.
Sun Online has reached out to Delphine for comment on the stunt.

She is not the only person catering to smut-loving gamers, though.
Fans of Apex Legends are well catered for when it comes to such filth, while randy Overwatch fans are also a growing niche for Adult performers and producers.
Pornhub, meanwhile, produced official 'parody' smut for both Fortnite and Red Dead Redemption.
