>>58124807No, I'm pretty sure they knew exactly what they were doing.
This is a "fake" style Hololive gen, looks like Hololive, plays games like Hololive, sings music like Hololive. But unlike Hololive, it's a different "Box" i.e. the Dev_Is/ReGloss box.
#1 difference of course is that homo interactions are ENFORCED - we already saw those wildly out of character tweets not just from these girls, but the homos themselves.
Even those who tend to keep to themselves were forced to interact with this new group.
The branding being separate allows them to experiment. i.e. debut looks like normal holos, so they expect to get the normal holo audiences. But in time, they will be forced into homo groupings like Holizontal while leaving HoloJP alone.
If they fail, well it's just one gen and 5 girls, no big loss. They will continue to be 3-5k streamers and maybe eventually squeezed back into the box.
But if they succeed?
They can debut more gens under this umbrella. The homos will get crumbs of attention by association. The girls will have an audience that isn't disgusted by the sight of homos. And they can slowly become a "normal" company - leaving Hololive in their corner while putting more effort into this "mixed" branding.
