>>34923878I pretty much agree with your point; I think CBDCT or Boys Be Boys a la fraternities boys-only school groups can solve the issue. Yume and Fujo can flock to it easily because it's focused on males, fujo likes the male-to-male interaction, and Yume does not need to be worried about the female collab.
Like the boys, no need to pander heavily to yumes/fujo they can just act like themselves being friends with a guy just like a normal boy and fangirl would still eat this shit up. putting the pandering on subtlety honestly always work it's why most popular BL ships come from shounen manga and there is plenty of yume liking Male character who is not even from joshimuke (Genshin, GBF, and FGO character for example).
I mean most hololive talent doesn't do GFE besides Lamy & Chloe. they are just girls acting cute and doing crazy/silly things. and hololive has plenty of female fans since most of the girls don't do coombait content.
Holostars is neaaarly there just sadly because the male market has been locked by niji they also lack talent who's very entertaining that can appeal to the masses or a certain niche.
I think they can go for something like replicate try guys but anime boys without the female shenanigan shit. I honestly think it CAN work & there's a market for this just like there's a market for CGDCT.
I still believe CBDCT meta might work in the future like you said it needs the right person who can crack it as sankisei did, I think it will come from holostars of all things if they get an actual entertaining guy
