APersonAmI:
No one is being hurt, so I'm mostly fine with this. Slightly put off by the way the similar skin and eye tone make them melt together eldritchly.
People treat Anthropomorphic animals strangely. I've never undestood that.
Aurelia should definitely have explained that there'd be three thousand people watching before starting the stream, though. Informed consent is important.
Fuzzlepuzzle:
I don't care about the streaming or the audience or her avatar, I'm uncomfortable that she guilt tripped her kid into hanging out with her and then immediately tried to get him on her stream without telling him anything about it. Popping in on your mom's stream when she's got like twenty viewers is a much different situation than being watched by three thousand people. Learning that this is a revenue stream for her, and having him on is likely to cause a boost in donations, makes it feel even more exploitative.
And jfc, someone can enjoy being sexy or flirtatious or whatever and still understand and respect their children not wanting to be directly involved in it. Aurelia can do whatever she pleases on her own time, but she's being really inconsiderate of Clinton. And this isn't the first time.

While true, it's not like he's actually being watched by any of them.
I don't think he needs to worry about anyone recognizing him on the street as a cow.
Torlek:
True, but now Clinton has to live with the knowledge that someone, somewhere is furiously masturbating to the image of him as an anthropomorphic cow.
BenRG:
Denial and moving on to other things is an excellent way to handle that fact.
Which is why it's highly unlikely Clinton, written properly, would react that way.
Maybe that's the way Jeph is planning to take this: Aurelia is flattered at being seen as desirable in any context but doesn't really get just how cringy or outright alarming it can be it until Clinton pulls up the fan-page (that she never visits) that is full of... charitably 'off-colour' remarks by the weirdest 'fans' about her and what they fantasise about doing to her. So, the whole thing becomes a metaphor for how little Jeph likes or even feels comfortable knowing the existence of the more aggressively hardcore sexualised parts of his fandom.
