>>32077524How many posts has it been since anyone pointed out that Yagoo very likely put out Stars to begin with as bait for investors to say he's growing the company and expanding its scope? Let me answer that, this entire fucking thread.
Cover pulled in at least 5-6mil in investment startup funding last I checked (year+ ago.. so it may be more now). They need shit to put on powerpoint decks to have at meetings and going "we're planning to become more competitive with other big vtuber companies (aka nijisanji) by expanding into the male market! (picture of holostars)." This would also explain why Yagoo is careful to keep them acknowledged as a real existing thing yet they are mysteriously just kind of pulled along/behind the mainline Hololive brand.
With StarsEN he can again make the pitch "foreign markets have a demand for males which has not been demonstrably totally-filled by other companies yet" and so on. This shit is elemental if you even attempt to look at it even a bit through Yagoo's eyes. He doesn't hate males obviously and such and likes he bros but he isn't going to destroy Hololive's image to prioritize shilling them either. Fubuki is a plant, she may well have stake in the company by now, of course she is gonna support them because she has positioned herself as the central pillar, which if you'd notice, is more like a survival/relevance move on her part to act as the benefactor overlord supersenior (which is really Sora) to hold her clout while dozens of other girls pull way way bigger numbers than her these days. By towing the company line she wants to nudge into merch deals and whatever other big clout/money things come along.
Meanwhile some of EN management and some of the girls absolutely do not get this and carry the twitter/reddit narrative of subverting the very structure that got Holo all its success (being cute girls, no bullshit attached).
