I don’t see how that makes them different per se. Its like having a word for people who use their real picture in their profile vs an image vs nothing.
You can consider it a subcategory of streamer. Livestreaming is all about your public face and persona, it’s a lot more front and center than just an icon off to the side here, so someone choosing to present themselves as a character matters a lot. And for many VTubers, they literally are playing a character onstream, there’s an entire subculture surrounding VTuber personas.
It’s just kinda cute to see Bernie learn about this whole subculture like this.
