>>89529127>>89531372Ok this Kobo thing may actually be the climax of a long trending "anti gachi" war in the ID crowd that unironically might affect ID4.
Thing is, this was started by a JP guy who's also a nijinig. But the sentiment is shared by a lot of her fanbase.
They have increasingly seen her becoming like Gura (less streaming, less tweets etc.) with more sponsorships + membership stuff etc. but with the added issue of rm activities.
For a long time, similar to Ame, she's "shit on her fans" for funsies. And a lot of them assumed "it's just jokes, she's a gaki, nbd".
But this post sort of went beyond just jokes, and shattered that "roleplay" barrier - especially when there were only 2 of the flowers there & they were nearby.
Her gachis are kinda shaken (some of them have changed oshimarks) but they're kinda waiting for her to address the whole thing.
But in the meantime, her gachis as a whole are taking shit from a LOT of sides.
> ID anti-gachi crowd ("GSH")> EN anti-unicorn crowd ("PARASOCIAL FUCKS", "FUCKING UNICORNS GET OUT")> casual Kobo fans ("she's just being herself, you should know after being her fan for so long")> nijinigs ("HAHAHAHA YOUR OSHI DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU LMAO")> anti-corpo crowd ("all these restrictions and creepy 'fans' are ruining her, she should free herself and do her own thing")Kobo needs to do a few things in her next zatsu to set the matter straight.
1. Say the whole thing was meant as a joke and do a small apology for any hurt feelings (regardless of falseflagging fucks, some fans WERE hurt).
2. Denounce dramafags who are using this to shit on her/hololive/whatever. Deny graduation rrats if that's not in her immediate plans.
3. (VERY IMPORTANT) DEFEND HER FANS! I cannot stress how important this is for both her, HoloID, and ID4 (if it ever materializes).
Her gachis are taking some serious beating, even those completely uninvolved in this whole thing.
If she does not say a single word of love to defend her fans in this instance, it might start a domino effect of gachi exodus in the ID branch as a whole (and might thus affect the eventual ID4 as well, kinda like how 2nd gen homos got affected because of lack of EN3).
