TheBurntPeanut has replied to the criticism over his Best VTuber Award nomination at the Streamer Awards 2026, and he did it with a sarcastic announcement about changing his virtual avatar. On his October 18 livestream, the Twitch streamer joked he would get breast implants and a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), so his peanut model can fit what critics apparently wanted to see. He was talking about his nominations across multiple categories at the upcoming awards when this came up. No serious redesign was offered. Instead he made fun of posts he saw on X and asked why a VTuber should look same as everyone else.
TheBurntPeanut reveals he got br-st implants and a BBL to fit in better with the Best VTuber category "I checked Twitter..a lot of people do not like people that do not look like them, which I could have swore there's a word for that..but guys, I want unity..so announcing today..making a huge change..I will be getting a triple D b-ob implant as well as BBL..only then will I be accepted"

TheBurntPeanut Says Critics Want VTubers to Look Alike
He said he checked X for the last two days and kept seeing criticism connected to his Streamer Awards nomination. According to him, many people were upset simply because his look didn't match theirs.
“I got the overwhelming sense from all the posts that were related to The Streamer Awards and me that a lot of people do not like people that don't look like them,” he said.
Then he sarcastically pushed the idea further, saying the criticism shows a wider expectation that all VTubers should look alike. He even acted like he forgot the word for disliking people who look different, and just left the sentence hanging before moving on.
His point was blunt. “You can't look different. That is very bad, according to the posts I've seen on Twitter,” he said during the livestream.
TheBurntPeanut Reveals His Sarcastic Plan for a New Avatar
The redesign he promised wasn't serious at all. He joked about getting two triple-D breast implants and a BBL, and presented these changes like an attempt to make the critics of his nomination happy.
“So, in the spirit of good faith, I will do my best to look more in tune with what the vision is,” he said before delivering the punchline.
After that he thanked the viewers and said he only wanted to bring everyone together, calling his fake makeover a step toward “a better future.”
Joking about his looks isn't new for him. Back in May 2026, MrBeast offered $1 million for a face reveal, and he answered that he was not going to “mutilate himself.”
This time he took a different route, because exaggerated cosmetic surgery became the punchline and not a real face reveal. Context matters here: the whole bit was satire told on stream, and nothing about the avatar itself got confirmed during the October 18 broadcast.
