    It was my understanding that she was, but maybe it was just that she was so much bigger than the other people within the company she was signed to. She's not the worst, there are others like Kurone or the shark girl or . . . well, genuinely most of the ones with any audience are schoolgirl coded. I've only seen a handful that aren't.

      I like Korone, at least from the clips I've seen. It's very clearly an exaggerated goofy cartoon performance and she's not going for a horny angle. Wouldn't watch for like 8 hours at a time but it makes for fun clips and animations

        and she’s not going for a horny angle

        Have you not seen her model?

          A lot of them just have huge comically wobbly boobs as a starting point, but past that... :biden-rember:

          spoiler

          It's all very silly

              If the performance is fun and not wildly uncomfortable I can look past a certain amount of the stuff that you just kind of have to accept as ambient background radiation when you get as deep into anime shit territory as anime character streamers, such as questionably rigged models

                  "if you like laughing at an adult woman puppeteer a generic anime girl while she acts like a cross between someones oba-chan and one of those late 2010s lets players while failing at sonic the hedgehog, that means you are a pedophile"

                      Bro I don't even watch vtubers, streams are too long I'd rather watch anime or tv. You on the other hand are implying that it's pedo shit based on muh vibes as if flat chested women with less than 2 brain cells don't exist irl.

                      Edit: just checked a Korone stream and would like to report she isn't flat chested, my bad, point still stands

        Korone’s not really that horny at all

        Her model is

        nor a school girl.

        Do adults look like that in your experience, minus the dog ears? Or do you think someone's only a schoolgirl if they're in a pleated skirt?

          Her breasts are not abnormally large, she's showing a normal amount of skin, and neither the way she moves or is dressed is overtly sexual.

          Her face looks youthful, but not like a 5 year old. I definitely know people with that kind of wide eyed expression in real life. Her clothes are also pretty normal, it's a dress and a sweater with some colorful decorations.

          You had your slam dunk with Gura, and you could extend to Laplus if you wanted, but korone is just not that weird and isn't pedophilic.

            You think gawr gura is sexualized? She could put some pants on but by animu standards she's a nun. Like she wears a giant shapeless shark hoody.

              If someone's going for a pedophilia angle she would be, and her bikini outfit could make someone uncomfortable. But in general I agree with you.

            I hate this bad faith bullshit that people immediately resort to. She has fucking jiggle physics!

              "the anime girl wearing comfy nonsexual clothes, who has adult body proportions and significant sized bobs which jiggle in the wind, is clearly a schoolgirl because I've only watched highschool anime"

      Pikamee is/was in the middle tier of VTubers who have made it (it remains to be seen where she'll stabilize with her new form). Looking at her YouTube stats, she pulled in the range of 1-2K concurrent viewers---most streamers would kill for that, of course, but it's still a far cry from the 10K+ concurrent viewers and crazy merch sales you see in the elite tier. There are hundreds of VTubers with her raw stats. I think it's more that she had one super viral clip near the beginning of the VTuber boom in 2020 and was one of the first big Japanese VTubers proficient in English, making her a "bridge" between the two communities and giving her outsize brand recognition.

          No worries, the VTuber community is pretty isolated so it can be confusing if you're not already immersed (and even then my knowledge of the JP/corporate side of things is relatively shallow)
