Copying vs Coincidence in Vtuber Designs (i'm losing my mind) - Video

Hi there! I'm Squiiji, a Freelance Artist Fungi & Art Educator. I'm going crazy. As someone who has taught character design for years, I know just how easy it is to not 1:1 copy an existing character's design, so it frustrates me to no end to see it happening over and over and over again in vtubing, on top of the fact that there are so many false accusations and occasions where the copycat is doing it for attention. I'm not here to go over the infinite instances of it happening, but instead to talk about the difference between copying vs taking inspiration vs coincidental design similarities. Also I'm begging everyone, please let Shylily have some peace.

Also: wow I haven't posted a video in a minute. Hi! Editing is no fun!
