>>33365284This but unironically. I watch Suisei. I love Suisei. Suisei collabs with males all the time for songs and shit. Recently she had her MGO concert, which I paid and woke up to watch. She was surrounded by males the whole time during the concert. I don't mind this because Suisei to me is entertaining for her gameplay, her zatsudans, her music, and I don't watch her for parasocial shit. In fact I watch a ton of Holos who have collabed with males in the past or do so now.
Kronii, despite making some progress, still had her biggest draw as the parasocial aspect of it. She chooses shitty games and is often bad at them. She often clams up while focusing on the game. She doesn't do a lot of karaoke or concerts. So a large part of what she had going for her was that she would read me and talk to me.
I never thought I would marry Kronii and I'm under no illusion that any of the Homos will marry her. But it kind of feels shitty when you've been a Day 1 Kromie and seen all her streams live and bam heres a group of guys who get to interact with her more than you ever will simply by virtue of being her coworkers. You could outspend or outwit other spreadsheet Kronies. There's no replacement for actually being at her side in a collab though, can't win against that.
