>>80013145Mouse is smarter and more perceptive than she lets on.
When you really examine Filian and her content, you can easily sense that she's here for the money and little else.
She makes friends so that they can give her collab content.
She farms viewers for react videos.
She has a paid AI chatbot and a dedicated AI art tag.
Her starting soon screen is a generic frame covered in fan art, something I only see with indies MUCH smaller than her (because they can't afford a commission).
And of course the most obvious red flag of all, she failed to create a unique design for herself despite having literally no excuse.
This all paints the picture of someone who not only is here to make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible, but also is generally apathetic towards, if not outright against supporting artists.
So you might imagine why Mouse, who is addicted to commissioning artists and extremely passionate about vtubing, might not appreciate Filian.
At her panel today someone asked Mouse if she had any advice for aspiring vtubers. Aside from "just do it" which is her usual answer, she appended "and don't use a free model forever."
