>>44183838The issue is there isn't really an audience for male vtubers in the "west." All of Luxiem/Noctyx's fans are Chinese and SEA. Then you have actual quality males like Pio-chan who gets 3view numbers because he doesn't pander to China or stream during Chinese hours. How do you salvage the male side of the branch in this situation when you have no audience? You could get the best males ever and they'll still get low numbers without the Asian audience. The girls may have low numbers but their audience is global at least and willing to appreciate different niches. The Chinese audience ONLY wants coomer bait and BFE content with no room for other types of streamers.
