>>52696349In relation to fan art yes Tulip would be a failure. But that wasn't the conversation the anon I was responding to was having. They made an argument that Iono's popularity wasn't forced because the average straight man likes female streamers.
I'm arguing the average straight man actually wants something closer to a professional model. However they will volunteeraily opt out of that and focus on a female streamer.
How well this behavior translate to popularity in fan art is up in the air. In the games Iono's character and personality is expanded on way more than Tulip. So there's also the question of writing since Tulip isn't written to be compelling or interesting outside her connection with being a long time friend of school staff member.
