Neuro-sama was one of those, in fact, her model name is Hiyori Momose. So if you're just using it as a throwaway, it's fine. But people like Filian and Neuro got so big that they became THE most definitive and iconic version of their avatar. In order to persist as a personal brand, though, you can't keep being Hiyori Momose. You need to maintain your own IP for merch and fanart and all, and step away from being that derivative. Filian failed this step and has honestly handled it in a super retarded manner. I don't know what she was expecting.
