Ask yourself this: Why do you watch hololive? Why them instead of turning on twitch and watching the thousands of female streamers there instead? It's the idol culture.
Is ANYONE in hololive a "true" idol? No. Not even dai-senpai Sora, she's collabed with men. It's not about that. V-tubers are to the viewer, a tool of escapism, and something different from the world they know. To the girls, it is an ideal: something to strive for. Obviously TRUE purity will never happen, and once again, obviously, I'm sure they've all had sex / were in relationships before. An ideal is something you push for. To be something more than their regular 3d self. It's a way for a girl to unleash their inner self that they hide from social pressure. Maybe one girl tries to become better at singing, some tries to find ways to be more entertaining with stream variety, others do comedic things and skits. Doing all that while adding on to their own base personality with their virtual self's. All of that is different ways to push that.
The meeting of what the girls strive for and the escapism the fans want is what makes a virtual youtuber. It's what draws you to them. You can't have one without the other or you have either a generic female twitch streamer or ironmouse.
You don't have to screech if a girl talks to a guy, but you need to know that culture is what makes hololive special in the first place. It's why you're here. I'm not even saying it's perfect, Aloe's situation proved that, but it's certainly far better than the alternatives. All I'm asking is you stop and think for just a little bit.
