This is just false, the policy applies to both real people and avatars. It's even in the article if you bothered to read it.

Their policies are mostly fine, it's the lackluster and cherrypicking enforcement that is the problem.

Where. I keep reading it over and over and the only one I can find is someone derisively commenting on "the same way it applies to other streamers".

Twitch guidelines are basically written in such a way that they can just freely do whatever they want and this "rule change" seems to continue in that spirit, singling out vtubers.
