>>38608539First and foremost you have to take into consideration that the other Phase Connect girls probably have a vaguely veiled contempt if not outright hatred for the Operators due to the menhera dynamic of Lia. To a large degree Lia borders on a menhera minstrel show wherein the excuse of the extremes she visits is forgiven by the learning opportunity of her demonstrative recovery arcs. My understanding would be that women, particularly those in this industry, aren't particularly fond of men who particularly focus on the spectacle of women self-destructing or any kind of the cluster b promoting behaviors that characters such as Lia/Yuri prominently display. I won't touch on the "ugly friend" effect of earlier lepr creating contrast that causes star lady to shine even brighter. Lia has been heavy on tangents lately coloring the content decisions of Pippa's own tangent stream while tying into very Lia coded recovery topics.
The Lumi reference ties into a Lia twitter response, incomplete, and uncharacteristic. My schizomind lets it speak to a desire to want to "play" into the games that the performers themselves are playing on various levels with one another, their viewers, management, and the industry as a whole. Lumi uncharacteristically switching to MMO grind content in sync with Lia's Genshin arc and extended absence could be it's own coded message. Yuri is simple as Lia's sex(platonic) outlet for, again word play is the name of the game here, Yuri coded dissonance against the slew of other jocular sexual preferences Lia is constantly throwing out and shifting through to obfuscate a reliable label of her tastes (not that any such label could be trusted had she settled on one). Tenma's TGA coverage tied in to the Lia live tweeting and the """""character""""" of Lia being a "non-gamer" streamer. The Phase Connect performers regularly cross reference one another and their handful of plants/community members across streams allowing for this depth of appreciation for their over arcing production with the speculative buff being pushed on subconscious hyping of Lia's absence/presence. Lia has recently been playing back into this herself with the adoption o the South Park series utilizing her rescheduling and performing to create a synergistic effect with Tenma. Raids are just the surface level of content comingling with the topical and subtextual contextualization of one anothers acts being the real power behind the company.
