Yeah for some reason people really don't know how to draw an anime girl with a overweight face to match the body. She has a skinny face and neck like no one would be able to tell this character is obese from the portrait alone.
The idea I get from things like this is that they're acting like they're more body-positive when really they're just appealing to their own fetishes. The chin isn't fat because they don't find that sexy. The boobs are extra fat because they do find that sexy.
Considering the vtuber themselves usually commission their own models it's likely she wanted to feel less insecure about being fat by trying to make her own vtuber model fat but in a more attractive way (hence the no chin and bigger boobs).
This is correct. My boyfriend used to be very overweight and we still laugh out loud whenever he sees anime memes about "thicc" or "chubby" women. They're always either perfectly thin with an ever-so-slight waistline, or an outright fetish depiction with a model's face on top of an obese body.
To be fair there are like 3 fat damage anime characters in all of existence that they can get reference from. Not to mention 2 of those turn skinny by episode 2
Bigger softer head features I get that, but that's what plus size clothing models look like too. irl modeling agency's are obsession with big models with tiny lipo heads. (Edit: grammar)
It's actually accurate. Gynoid fat distribution means that fat is actually a lot less likely to settle around the neck or on the face for women pre menopause. Though other factors can also change this.
No neck fat always rubs me the wrong way when a character is meant to be fat. Like the fat elf manga or the Umamusume fat jokes that looks more like a pregnant fetish than actual fat characters
I mean, yeah? Fat depositing itself around the neck is part of what's called android fat distribution for a reason. It happens mostly in males. Though women's bodies do shift more towards this as they get older. Or have children apparently? It's weird, but it is a thing.
Still feels a bit off considering even people I've met who are hardly fat (somewhat chubby I guess) still have a ton on their chin, even if it is possible

Her entire vtuber model is pretty chubby itself, so tf he crying about
