>>28177868Pic related is literally what has happened to /vp/ in regards to the starters. The vast majority of the board accepted that they were real when Mallow was revealed and only a tiny minority decided to shitpost and pretend it wasn't confirmed just for fun.
Then somewhere along the line a bunch of newcomers came by and thought that /vp/ actually genuinely thought they weren't confirmed and that it was just a generic hawaiian girl and now you have half of the board shitting their pants in anticipation over how they "can't wait for leakfags to be btfo".
