>>48329859It was always such a stupid take too. There’s been two big corpo dark skin vtubers before Scarle. Flare came out of the gate looking like a bug-eyed lizard due to piss poor rigging, and has done very well since her redesign. Sana refused to stream. Both of these were blatant problems that had nothing to do with their skin tone.
As for Scarle, she was very scuffed at the start and even now she has low views because she giga-filters her audience by responding to every single super chat as they come and having extended 2+ hour zatsus before and after all her content, so she got shitposted here. However if you look at her numbers beyond ccv it’s clear the people who do watch her are fucking rabid for her. It’s a different model, one I’m not that into, but she’s clearly very successful by any standard.
