>>77420398There is literally nothing wrong with taking heavy inspiration for a model in this industry. It's not a cheat code for free money. Personality and content are the real product, and those are not so easily copied.
Obviously the model is still somewhat important, but it's more in terms of archetype than anything specific about the design (see: Shizukou's blunder). You can have the worst model ever and still be successful if you're talented enough (IRyS), and the reverse is true as well: I know a certain 1view with an amazing model that fills a completely empty niche who I would absolutely support if not for her unfortunate voice and total lack of charisma.
