It's been said before that even Kaela herself calls it "redebut", so going out of our way to choose something unclear like "new design" is out of the question. In what way is "new design" more clear than "redebut" when, once again, even the person behind the model calls it that. It's not like she's gonna redebut a million times, and VTubers get new designs (read: costumes) all the time.
They called it "redebut" because Kaela started over. That's not it, bro. It's only called that condensed salad word because she herself is starting over. Also, I suggested "old/new default" ("original"?), not "old/new design" as it's way too generic. I preferred something clearer and way less confusing. Simple yet effective. "Redebut" may be confused as "rebut" or god forbid us, "debut" more (not new for Kaela anymore, just stop) if you say it too fast, and besides, not all will immediately understand what it really is anyways, so graphing it into Kaela's "new default" won't make sense in the long run.
See? It's condensed word salad, only rolling out the tongue for the sake of it, and so far officially, it's only used to denote the fact that Kaela is starting over. It's not a term worthy of costumes, guys.
The "redebut" should NEVER BE USED in ANY COSTUME TAGS, but rather on the costumes' RESPECTIVE WIKI. My suggestion is clearer and more effective in the long run. And of course, you're right about the frequency though: it's not like any Vtuber would "redebut"/reappear thousands of time, let alone millions - in fact, Dokibird and Kaela are rare cases! And sure, VTubers are no stranger to extra outfits, but the term "redebut" is too much of a word salad (condensed as it is) outweigh its style. The distinction between "old default"/"original default" and "new default" are the way to go - it's the most effective yet simple way to describe Kaela's "redebut" changes without being too generic.
Rodent and Hasu, if you guys still absolutely insists and wants to slap the "redebut" term on Kaela's new default outfit, then do it in HER WIKI only, not THE TAG!
UPDATE: I added the "redebut" term and slightly extended the wiki's wording to clarify the fact for you. You don't need to add "redebut" into the new costumes, and in fact, you guys better not. I would rather clear thing up than to appeal silly call-out of yours. (Yes, Rodent, you're the silly one)
