Vtubers don't use up anymore of the screen than streamers do unless they're doing a chatting screen....which is typically when streamers also use a huge chink of the screen....did you watch them for longer than their initial introduction stream?

It really sounds like you focused way too much on their comfy pajama appearance....

Also fanart of animated characters is fanart. You could just...not lookup fanart like you probably did with the streamer (which I assume no art existed since usually streamers don't have art drawn of them right?...so...just don't look it up like you were already doing??)

Like that extra bit just seems to be a you thing...I don't see how you would have walked into it if you just did the same thing you were doing back when they were a streamer.

I don't know what happened to make you feel so strongly about this but it's just not representative of vtubers generally...I mean even the vtuber in the cartoon in question generally wears modest clothing with very little physics involved...and thats if she's even in her usual attire. Sometimes she's a cake or a tree.

Gonna tack on here from a different angle. I also don't care for vtubers but I don't see them as inherently bad or anything. I just don't identify with it like I do with a person hanging out and playing games. Is that more work for the streamer, absolutely but it's also what I want to engage with so...

I mean as long as we all understand each other you have your preferences 👍

So with the streamers transition to a vtuber they increased camera size. All streamers have different camera size, I prefer it usually small and out of the way or gone tbh. Some people want the streamer to be large and with the streamers I watched that went to vtuber they increased the camera size and found more success. It is unfortunate. Most vtubers are definitely sexualized but not all obviously

I feel like you must have been traumatized by this one vtuber that we're still arguing most vtubers based on a single one despite examples showing this isn't actually true across the industry...

Like it's really not the norm....

Like this would be like arguing every female cam streamer is flashing their tits for views every 5 seconds. Which would be insulting to your streamer prior to their vtubing of course.
