>>43732563Since you asked kindly, the main reasons are:
1. Danger. Even with zero yabs, it's stressful for everyone aside from potential dramafags and doxxers.
2. VTuber magic. Reine is the cute peafowl anime girl who inherits voice, personality and many other qualities from her "VA" but doesn't share a body with her.
There are other holomembers who maintain this magic to some extent, and I deeply appreciate all of them including Reine for not ruining it. I don't want to search her rm, I don't want to know how she or her environment looks in real life, and for same reason I don't want to start associating her with some person behind handcam rather than with her live2d model.
3. Content. There is nothing that really requires handcam.
She can do gestures in VR and it's funnier that way. She can show pics of CM, Marine figure, keyboard or whatever else separately if she wants to. Food? She made photos in mukbang with Ollie and it wasn't exciting. Guitar or piano? Come on, nobody doubts that she can play it. What else? She wants to show us lato lato skills? Screw it. Regular "what other streamers do" sort of content? If we wanted it, maybe we would watch those other streamers instead.
4. Viewers. Sorry if it hurts someone's feelings, but I don't feel comfortable to be in one group with people unironically masturbating on it.
I can tolerate people making any kind of horny comments about Reine in the same was as I'm fine with existence of rape fanfics or /d/oujins with cute and innocent anime characters. They are halu and their imaginary Reine can be their property, wife and fucktoy I don't care as long as they don't post "offerings" in #Reinessance. But with handcam stream it may be irreversibly traumatizing.
If you want to want to argue that such bad handcam-thirsty meppas are not products of my degenerative imagination and actually exist, just look at >>437350895. General impression. Switching from pure VTubing to *cam streams is not a growth, it's a downgrade. Therefore, I don't see it as "exploring new horizons". I only see ruining the immersion that Reine maintained since debut in exchange for nothing.
Maybe someone can put this essay in more laconic and less eslish words, I wish I could.
Also even if Reine is adamant about doing it, I specifically don't want it to happen tomorrow. There was no YABE for almost three weeks, Reine did a lot of cool things, there are too many events and news to talk about. Handcam will derail and overshadow it.
