Recently, chapter 5 of the VTuber Legendin which we have a scene where Awayuki Kokorone She's showing an "h" illustration of herself, which, curiously, is also censored with an image of herself. Mashiro Irodor tells Awayuki that this image is too much. “ecchi” that if he had presented it to the public they would probably have “fucked” because it is very strong.

On the Twitter/X platform the user @CeoofRomcom He shared the clip of this scene and as a description of this publication added "What must it be like to be an artist and create a character that is then desecrated in every possible way on social media?" comments where followers of this account shared their point of view on this.

One of the most popular comments within the fandom of VTuber Legend was "I think at this point you already know you created it as an artist when they've already done rule 34 for your character" "I would be proud, that would mean that something I believe became popular enough to have rule 34", so as you can see, a lot of people think that a character having this kind of art is actually a positive thing for the franchise, as it reflects the popularity of the story and the characters that make it up.

Someone commented that fanarts are real and are not something that was invented only within the world of VTuber Legendsince they are available on the franchise's website for those curious enough to look for them, as some people have expressed that they would like to see the image shown in the episode in detail. Another person made a funny comparison saying that other artists, like those of Blue FileThey are already used to this type of situation and even make jokes about it.

There were other types of comments that were not completely related to this event in VTuber Legend, one person said, "I really like how they show the world of Vtubers, their lives, and how people treat them. This is something that happens a lot in anime; they show what reality is like." Certain entertainment and sports industries, among others, are examples. This is precisely one of the reasons why anime has such a large following worldwide: the realism often found in its stories.

In most cases, fans of the world of VTubers This didn't seem like a bad thing to them; on the contrary, they said it was common within this fandom. And as I mentioned above, if this kind of situation didn't occur, on the contrary, it would be strange or it would mean that the story isn't that popular and therefore hasn't been able to produce this kind of art where the series' characters are realized. What do you think of this situation that the fandom... VTuber Legend? Do you also think that this is a very common situation among followers of VTubers?
