I’m not loving the ethnic fears coming from their slippery slope fallacy.
But if we let this happen, what's stopping an anime character winning the competition? Or a cat? Or robot? Where do we draw the line?!?
On second thoughts, a cat would be pretty awesome. They'll at least dominate the catwalk part of the competition.

Literally nothing, as VTubers have proven.
Any of those options would make me significantly more interested.
