>>16123809Well put. I agree with everything you wrote.
I'd like to add more about Bae. Not even the most fanatic brat would claim that Bae had a strong start. Her debut let down many people who expected a hyper genki girl like Ollie. Aside from a few exceptions like TING, her early streams were also weak. Sure, those weird meme games and Bayonetta might make a few clips, but they were bad at keeping people interested. You could go on and on about her early problems like the mic setup, flip-flopping target audience, etc. Fortunately, Bae listens to criticisms and has the work ethic, so she solved many of them. Unfortunately, average viewers have low attention spans and went back to their established oshis when they found early Bae disappointing.
As for the state of unity, I am hoping Bae would become more confident and actually use her 'council leader' position more actively. Maybe even wrangle her underachieving genmates into shape
(which really should be the job of management, but I won't get into that). However, that's really up to Bae, and as
>>16124314 says, it's fine if she is more interested in forming cross-gen/branch bonds.
