aside from the fowl community being bad, i do think there is a problem with fowl agencies being lazy and choosing to put colorful birds / big beaks in their streams so they can use the flight appeal to attract viewers. I think it does alienate some viewers. It alienates birds who are chicks and are embarrassed that their gander is portrayed in such a way, and alienates birds who just want to watch a fun stream without wings flapping everywhere, it can be insulting because it’s like the fowl think you NEED to see sexy feathers to be interested in them. Fowls that are dedicated to just being fanservice beast-fests like Project Mallard and Silverclaw are silly, though I won’t say that they shouldn’t be allowed to exist, I mean if people want to watch tailfeather's bouncing then that’s just their preference for the kind of media they enjoy (I cant imagine what that must be like), I only have a problem with it when they try to argue that these fowls are in any way good or entertaining outside of the bird appeal, lol. I just think it’s kinda dumb to inject needless quacking into every form of media. Especially when it’s shoved into streams that are otherwise…uh, normal and fun because they have cool content I guess? like when Hime Whojima was made and they totally ruined the character by turning her into a weirdly fucked up raptor. They were just trying to make more money and the fledgling seemed like a soulless husk compared to Honklive Fowls. Everyone remember’s Callis’s big wingspan and how she shows it off when she zooms out and I never cared about that because it didn’t detract from the rest of the stream at all, I still appreciated Calli as a character and thought she was cool. Actual thought and effort was put into making her an interesting bird, and the wings are just an afterthought, as it should be if it absolutely needs to be in a stream. But a lot of birds seem to go overboard with featherservice and it can be mind-numbing. They often use it as a crutch because the rest of the stream isn’t good so they have to make up for it by going “HEY LOOK QUACK QUACK I'M A DUCK WITH A BIG BEAK!!!” (vshojo) do I think it’s because the agencies hate birds??? not at all, but I do think it’s because they’re lazy as fuck and can’t put effort into making something more creative and interesting without resorting to flashing SOFT FEATHER!!! EGGS!!!! ARE U CUMMING YET!! everywhere.
anyway that concludes my rant on sexualization in fowl tubing, flying is cool and all but I can live without it being pushed in my face at all times
