How do you feel about these vtubers that try to be unique and "innovative"? These people popped up on my feed, at some point I feel like you should just make a damn cartoon instead. It also just feels kind of insulting being like see I'm different I'm not like other vtubers and it feels like they're appropriating something that isn't a part of their culture, vtubing is very much a otaku culture thing.

>>113837824I wouldn't mind a model looking like something Bruce Timm drew, or something like manhwa, or even Holli Would and Jessica Rabbit, but too westernized models are kinda cringe and ugly looking.
>>113837901Most of these still relate to weeb culture.
>>113837945I don't like the cringe tumblr style some of those 1view indies have.
>>113837945I agree, it isn't that western style models are ugly by definition, it's just that the people who make/use them suck and are annoying.
>>113838028Gonna be honest, I never like him or his "model"
>>113838026Examples?
>>113837824It's extremely hard to make a Live2d model in a non-anime style look good. Not impossible, but hard. I've seen a few that look decent.
>>113838028hell yeah peanut gods
>>113837824>>113838198Works for Vedal.
for male vtubers at least it seems non-anime style is the only way to not look like a cringe predator
>>113838315This is how females see other females who are prettier than them btw.
>>113837945i gooned so much to btas/btnas bat girl as a kid.
>>113838254Thats an anime turtle though.
>>113837824The way I see it is there's 2 types of people. Those that think vtubing started with kizuna Ai, and those that think technically the annoying orange is a Vtuber. The former will want the scene to be more anime inspired, the latter doesn't mind more cartoonish out there stuff. It depends on who you ask.Personally, I want somewhere in the middle. It's seen as a Japanese thing but even then there are different anime styles. I hate the generic anime girl/boy #421 design that's quite present in most vtubers, but I'm not that open-minded to the aggressively western cartoon style or the burntpeanuts.I prefer something in the middle, something that to me is true innovation. A Japanese/anime type of design that isn't the generic ones, maybe a cool art style or even non-human designs like the few in nijisanji. We desperately need more non-human vtubers that aren't just a humanoid with a bit of creature features. Go weird, but keep within the style and general premise. Otherwise you're just a cartoon tuber. That's why vtubing is an umbrella term, there's now pngtubers and the like to actually differentiate them more. Sometimes it stretches to a point it just needs to be it's own thing.
>>113837824I like them as side/bonus models, also, this >>113837945
>>113838828 (Me)
>>113838828>>113838847These are cute and chibified, so it kinda still falls in the "anime" style, but I get what you mean.
>>113837824Stop gatekeeping, you whiny bitch.
>>113837824In the image, the left 3 are very unattractive and I wouldn't even click just to check it out. Problem is most (that i've seen) of those who use these kinds of models are weirdos with flags/pronouns in their bio on bluesky
>>113837945A Bruce Timm styled model would go hardhttps://ia803107.us.archive.org/25/items/the-good-girl-art-of-bruce-timm-naughty-and-nice_202307/THe%20Good%20Girl%20Art%20of%20Bruce%20TIMM%20Naughty%20and%20nice.pdf
