>>21226985This smells like bullshit to me but im bored so i'll take the bait and answer honestly
>Is there a niche for vtubers who are just regular 30-something year old wife/mom type?Yes but it is exactly that, a niche. The average vtuber viewer is probably more interested in a younger looking model with some shit like animal ears, horns, a tail ect...
>Are there any vtubers that pander to this archetype?Very few in comparison to the "normal" vtuber stereotypical models and tropes. However as of late popularity of hags seem to have risen. Might be due to all the stupid drama that arises from younger vtubers who dont know how to not be attention whores.
>It feels like all the "hags" you guys post on here are very cute and young stillMost of the hags discussed here are 30+ and just play their characters, which are younger since that appeals to the broader audience. This is actually part of the hags appeal, the juxtaposition of the older woman trying to escape/ignore her age and act cute makes them more loveable.
>Where does someone go if they want to literally have a mom?Mio from Hololive, she has a lot of cute moments but doesnt seem to try and hide her age. Even other Holomembers think of her as very motherly. Hence why shes is probably the most popular hag by far
