Why should vtubers be subject to a different standard to celebrities?
If you pander to a crowd that CLEARLY wants parasocial content (vtubing is inherently parasocial), then you should be shat on if you're found out to be doing the EXACT OPPOSITE. If a public figure/celeb gets shit on for doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what they act as in public, then chuubas should be the same.
Enjoy the benefits, suffer the consequences. Simple as. Only cuckolds of the highest calibre would defend it.
That's why I personally think collabing with males is fine (if it'll actually be enjoyable content), but fucking a man on the side while enjoying that parasocial money is dishonest. You're a celebrity, deal with it like literally everybody else.
