>>40370329Since you actually responded point by point in a relatively reasonable fashion I'll indulge you.
>1Fair
>2There has to be a legitimate reason EN3 hasn't come out yet aside from the Tempus shilling, but I still have people I enjoy watching so I don't mind the wait.
>3I'm not saying they'll never happen, but they'll certainly happen less. And if they do or don't happen I don't care either way. It's the CGDCT fans (unicorns in denial) who obsess about this.
>4So just don't watch the mixed collabs. I don't think the males are my friends, they're entertainers just like the girls.
>5The boys were never going to be as popular as the girls, so that's why comparing numbers is meaningless. That said there are still a good amount of people who like this "retarded project" and made a solid community out of it.
>6Even if you do believe all their consecutive statements of pc broke, sick, pet died, etc. that still doesn't excuse all of their behavior. For some it's maintaining basic communication, for others its setting boundaries with their fans ahead of time and not flip flopping on their positions. I do agree it is a shame that the girls don't seem to have competent managers like the boys do when it comes to actually getting shit done and supporting their endeavors.
>7Gura's problems have been around since well before Tempus. Her mood and motivation is all over the place, and anything that doesn't directly involve her being like Hatsune Miku is a coinflip if she'll care about it long enough to see it to fruition. Other girls have gotten much more stuff done despite management and being less successful. And I'm speaking as a 2+ year member of hers here.
>8First of all, I care because all this "debate" does is flood the catalogue with shitty bait threads. It makes this board even more unbearable than it can already be sometimes.
Secondly, I'm not a corporation shill, my main priority is the wellbeing of the talents. As you've said, some of them have not been streaming for a long time now. Can you really blame them for not wanting to come back ASAP when their fandom has become so incredibly toxic over this asinine bullshit?
As an example, it's objectively ridiculous that they have to pretend that the males don't even exist in order to appease their fragile audience. It would be better for their happiness if they could just collab with whoever they wanted without having to worry about such things. I understand that goes against some aspects of idol culture, but frankly it's stupid and is probably contributing to their stagnation and burnout.
