VTubers have been hit by a new Twitch rule change that requires their models to be fully covered up, and they’re not entirely happy about it.

    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.
