There is a lot of cross pollination with gamers and vtubers, not just because vtubers play games but quite a lot of them stream with non-vtuber streamers like I watched Rimmy play sons of the forest with a squad that had vtubers and you have some indie and agency vtubers not shy to show their real body like Kson and 'technically' demondice (aka Mori)
So that is something that can be opened up to, the thing is I think we need to gatekeep certain things though, I'd prefer it if it was more entertainment focused to keep out the political actors as it'd be an issue if old media got it's hook in this new platform like they did YouTube.
Oh yeah. I would imagine Cover would keep their “no politics” policy as a site thing if they ever did this. And that would even still allow for some latitude, like how Mori has picked fights (or at least, acknowledged them) with the usual suspects on Twitter and telling them to piss off.
I could see someone like Pippa struggling with that more, but honestly? I think a space that is just about entertainment would be useful and even helpful. And besides: the SJWs are so far off the reservation compared to normal people, that just being “neutral” puts a lot of people nearer to us than them (like Russian Badger and his friends doing politically incorrect jokes and talking about the guns they own, while insisting none of that is political).
Though on that Badger already has an in if this becomes a possibility. Since Heavenly is a vtuber too (with a really cool model I must say)
I think Pippa would actually be ok since she essentially can be grandfathered in, she says A LOT that she can turn into vtuber Alex Jones but she doesn't cause issues compared to the ones that actually had to be fired, not graduated, fired.

Wait what? This is news to me. looks it up I agree. Definitely a cool model.
Just for this topic, I recommend looking up his collabs with weary 101, he gets on really well with Taka
He also fanboys heavily as Taka was VA to Alucard in the abridged series lol
