>>10344141You shouldn't have said, 'by definition'. But the general gist is there. Being anonymous is both a disadvantage - that is light for 2views - and an advantage, in that even for easily doxxed vtubers, steadfastly not acknowledging your past life draws a line between them that is at the least rude to violate. People who transition over have no such excuse.
At the least, don't expect to be treated the same as other vtubers who, at the very least, demonstrated a desire to cut themselves off from their past by removing any links to their past lives if you deliberately bring your past identity into your new 'role'. You can't both reap the benefits of having your past audience following you and watching you for who you were, while at the same time telling other people not to bring up past incidents, images, connections, or statements because you're a new character or something. If your past public profile didn't have kayfabe, why would making a new avatar magically generate it? It's a clear, deliberate continuation, so don't try and pretend it's not. That's all that is asked.
