VTubers are frustrated by a recent rule change on Twitch that requires their virtual models to be fully covered. This new policy has sparked widespread dissatisfaction…
Let us explain, unlike traditional streamers, VTubers use digital avatars to represent themselves, and some blend their character with their real-life appearance.
On October 7, TwitchSupport tweeted about the updated Twitch rules, introduced through the Enforcement Notes feature. That now mandates that VTuber models be completely covered, including the hips. This news many VTubers find unfair.
The issue lies in the cost and time involved in commissioning new outfits to comply with changing regulations. Some VTubers are also questioning why these rules seem to specifically target them and not other content creators.
Users speculate that Twitch may have a bias against VTubers, which is why the policy was introduced.
As discontent grows, there are concerns that many VTubers might leave Twitch for YouTube if the situation doesn’t improve.
Nobody knows what this will lead to in the future. Only time will tell if Twitch decides to adjust its existing rules in response to the dissatisfaction expressed by VTubers…
