Today, I’m reacting to Hero Hei’s video “Twitter Freaks Crash Out Over Gawr Gura Return as Saba”, which highlights the backlash toward Sameko Saba’s debut model. Some are calling it “too childlike” or even “loli”—basically policing her appearance because it reminds them of Gawr Gura’s old shark-girl vibe.

Critics on Twitter and Reddit complained that Saba’s design is overly youthful, childlike, or “creepy loli vibes”.

They argue the model is too reminiscent of Gawr Gura’s previous aesthetic, despite it being an independent design.

Saba is an independent VTuber, free to choose her design theme—just because she picks a playful or youthful style doesn’t mean she’s pandering or being inappropriate.

Calling it “loli-like” is a subjective insult, not an objective critique—and it veers into policing aesthetics rather than discussing content quality.

Many fans are celebrating Saba, noting her voice, energy, and the huge turnout at debut (200k+ viewers) .

She’s bold enough to continue the playful spirit that made Gura famous—without relying on nostalgia or corporation backing.

Her design fits her persona and genre. A cute VTuber doesn’t equate to immaturity or inappropriateness.

The community should judge her content and presence, not witch-hunt based on palette or age vibes.

Watch along as I unpack Hero Hei’s take, defend Saba’s creative autonomy, and ask: When do aesthetic critiques cross into toxic gatekeeping? Let’s end the judgment and support originality.
