    vtubers are streamers or content creators that use a puppeted avatar, instead of camera feed of their real face/body.

    Some avatars are quite risque, but this rule apparently only applies to the avatars, while the real stuff is still fair game.

      This is just false, the policy applies to both real people and avatars. It’s even in the article if you bothered to read it.

      Their policies are mostly fine, it’s the lackluster and cherrypicking enforcement that is the problem.

      So the model has to meet a new decency standard that’s higher than they demand of streamers who show their real bodies?

      Sorry I’m just confused if they are saying the digital model needs to cover the caster’s real hips, or if the digital model needs to be wearing clothes.

      As you can tell I’m pretty far from this universe :)

        Yes, the model. Vtubers typically don’t show their real appearance. Sone do, but some don’t.
