Homocorpos and aspiring male vtubers fundamentally miss the point. They spam bishounen designs and try to cater to fujo.
Yes, the most successful male chuubas are exactly that: Luca, Fuwa Minato, Kuzuha, Kanae and Vox are bona fide bishounen design- and personality-wise.
However, there's only so many fujo-oriented vtubers you can have before oversaturating the niche. Female viewers are fundamentally different from males in that they're naturally less inclined to have a fucking harem in their subscriptions. They stick to their favorite male.
This is why homostars, lesser nijimales, and countless other male vtubers are starving. They miss the point. They're not in demand, not because they're males, but because of their target audience. Sex sells until it doesn't.
The solution is comedy. Comedy appeals to everyone, is not hard to pull off, and has unlimited demand. Comedy is a way out of the abyss of generic designs. Goofiness is true creative freedom.
