So, a guy on Twitter said "hey, you know what? Vtubers posting their real faces is kinda lame and defeats the whole purpose of the thing" and then all the shitty indie Vtubers threw a hissfit and "ratioed" the guy by flooding the anime and vtuber tags with their fucking selfies.
Not only the guy was right, because if you are going the trouble of creating a fucking model and getting all the movement capture shit and have a character why the fuck would you mingle your irl self with it, but also the whole thing is a freak show.

The lesson here is: gatekeep hard everything. Never give an inch. Curbstomp any newcomer to a hobby, it doesn't matter if they say "oh, we need to make this little concession for it to grow", fuck it, allowing one single person in opens the gates for the unwashed masses to ruin everything.
Seriously, fuck indie vtubers. I think I'll even give up of my idea of streaming and using a femboy avatar because I don't want to be lumped together with these things.

It's so sad do see so many people fail even the simplest of IQ tests.

They are supposed to be ideas... The avatar is the youtuber. The moment a person sees the face ONCE, the vtuber becomes just a guy hiding behind a jpg...
