>>44799429This pretty much proves the thesis correct.
Appealing to females as a female vtuber has always been a fucking retarded strategy that was never going to work. It's the reason certain girls have dogshit donations and weak crumbling fanbases that vanish whenever a male overlaps them.
A female vtuber is supposed to appeal to males. Not be some weird gender-neutral appeal. The males aren't doing that, they're openly appealing to females and getting rewarded for it.
