The moment when EN get their 3D models will mark the end of an era in hololive and thus kickstart a new one. A reality where the local talents will no longer be considered as the flagship branch as having 3D models is the only boon they have over EN. Each one of EN's 3D debuts will break the internet much, much harder than any JP talents had. Eventually, EN will dominate JP in every metric, be it superchats, VOD views, subcount and whatnot since they appeal to an infinitely wider audience. Numberfagging will reach it's ultimate retardation. Cover seeing the numbers will further shift the focus towards EN more and more to pander to as many global audience as possible instead of strenghtening the domestic fanbase. It's gonna be another Sony situation where it's a Japan-based company leaning hard to westernization to maximize profit. At that point, I would've already left these vtube shenanigans for a long time, just like I do any other once-niche otaku hobbies in the past that similarly suffered the same fate of unneeded popularization. It's unfortunate but I'll be coping by reminiscing the comfy times, such as when OKFAMS did a group zatsudan stream at the onsen and how Ayame managed to fish an enchanted book first try in minecraft, to a surprise of a few thousand viewers while I improve on my reps. Until then, I hope you people will keep enjoying your chuubas and continue rratposting, gosling over your current and future oshis and invent various new lingos along the way.
Aniki out.
