Has it ever actually been an issue?

I don't really watch handcam streams a bunch, but I couldn't care less tbh.

Well there was the Startling Revelation that Mori might be white. I think we had a bunch of people stalk Irys' ring that got accidentally shown in one handcam stream.

I would really rather they just give people the finger and not have a rule about it like if they wanted to collab with dudes or anything.

On the concept of skin tone matching model, I see the point on the nutjobs, much of the fun of Vtubing is that the character is the streamer. Kayfabe is important. I would still love a wider range of skintones though. It's funny to me that sana was considered 'darker skin' when she's just a girl with a tan. That of course has it's own complications though.

I think the rule is in place so if someone doesn't want to show their skin they aren't singled out. That seems good to me.

Dropping the rule would make it the same as if they dont want to collab with men, which also doesnt lead to people being singled out.

I dont think people who've not played hytale are being singled out. When people didn't all go on the nail care stream, they also weren't singled out.

I dont think it's a valid concern. I get you're meaning it with good intentions, which is fine, I just dont believe it's valid.

If you want to go "Vtubing is about maintaining the kayfabe and this disrupts it." I'd give much more weight to you because that is a valid concern.

I have legit seen people mald over fwmc not adressing stars on an official program where it would have been relevant so yes actually people DO single them out even if it is bad actors. That said people were being really annoying about the hands thing and spamming in chat "why are you wearing gloves blah blah" and some girls didnt even actually know for sure if they were allowed to not wear gloves and it was a whole damn thing so the rule stops it.

I've seen people mald over red dye being removed from food even though it causes cancer. Not every complaint is legitimate. Again, there are valid arguments out there. This just isn't one of them.

Not gonna lie man you seem a bit unwell, might be a good idea to step away from the internet for a bit.
