>>74563956He was just the first one to complain about the lack of communication and the male collabs. After he posted, everyone else did too. You see Holofans are essentially cowards, it happens because the largest group of fans are always casuals who breed an air of toxic positivity. If you criticize a Holo or say anything less than glowing about them, you'll be jumped on by everyone wanting to white knight. This isn't unique to vtubing, you see it in KPop or many other fan communities.
There are two ways you can have a semblance of dialogue in the Hololive community.
1.) The talent themselves has to open a dialogue. They have to ask for honest feedback about what the fans are thinking, and even then the fans may not want to reveal it so they either post on alts or neuter their responses.
2.) A well known fan who is liked by the Holo has to speak out, and then people will be free to voice their opinions because they'll think, "Oh well if he's saying something, we can say something." Gabe was read a lot by Kronii. Since he's Anal Only, he'll be big enough that if he speaks out against Fuwamoco, people will take notice, instead of if some literally fucking who like Vivar said anything.
Probably the best recent example is Nerissa. She used to read SCs as they came in and it would really break the flow of her streams. Finally her top paypig akasupa'd saying that he always sent 500 at the end of streams because he didn't want to interrupt. After this Nerissa made a community post asking for feedback and the fans responded.
However this one is less clear cut I feel because Gabe has always been a schizo and unlike Kronii, I'm not sure anything wrong has actually been done. Fuwamoco suck at setting expectations and communicating and there are definitely Ruffians who are worried. However we are obviously also getting our shit stirred by outsiders playing both sides and the menheras like Gabe are just itching for a chance to go schizo and be center of attention again so that's why I think we should wait for GW and beyond but nobody fucking listens to me anyways.
