It's fairly simple. Marigold and Clinton meet at the Horrible Revelation to talk about just how weird the vtuber scene is. For purely psychotropic reasons, Clinton is more relaxed than usual and really has a good time with Marigold. Elliot sees them and, being Elliot, assumes that Clinton has met his One True Love (which comes as news to Clinton and Marigold later on).
Much angst, misunderstanding and drama ensues.

It makes sense, because in that aspect, the comic was derivating further and further from our world, in which everybody is constantly online, so I suspect JJ wanted to kind of catch up.

It's weird too because Twitch got to the level of where it would be conceivable that someone other than a huge gamer nerd would have heard of it because of the pandemic, which did not befall the QC-verse. Pretty much everyone these days is far more online than they were 13 months ago.
I know it would be sort of weird in a different way to show them all dealing with the pandemic and have them just in their apartments talking to each other on Zoom or something, but the fact is the pandemic has drastically altered the world as we know it and will have a permanent impact on society. QC in its attempt to remain contemporary will therefore inevitably be influenced by the pandemic, but without a pandemic actually occurring. Sort of strange.

Went back and looked, and I noticed the glasses. It'd be real easy to do "things" in character if those glasses could help...
Pilchard123:
Panels 3/4 I see as Dale wondering what vtubers look like IRL and Marigold saying he knows that about at least one - not necessarily anything about doing things in character. I think the (eyebrow waggle, smirk coquettishly) "you know what I look like" has an unspoken "in more ways than others".
Farideh:
That was pretty much my interpretation as well.
