At least a fursuit is something someone put real time, energy, and talent into bringing to existence. I have no respect for someone who just runs a piece of software someone else made to change how they look. It’s Instagram filters but dumber.
those models aren’t free. nor are they magic. to get a good one you need to commission somebody or have the extensive knowledge required to create one yourself

have you ever actually been around a vtuber?

so yeah similar to a fursuit in that regard
Furries also do not make their own fursuits.
They pay +1000€ for someone else to change how they look. It’s like clothing & make-up but “dumber”.
Many (most?) furries don’t make their own fursuits.
Then they don’t get my respect either. Buying clothes doesn’t make you special.
Some of them are coding their own.
Those few get some credit, but I doubt that’s the norm.
