>>60037853here's an unorganized list of why it was a big deal:
>Male collab. I don't have to explain this one since we're on /vt/, I hope.>Many found the stream unentertaining. >She had great chemistry with Uwu, this made GFE Capipis sad.>Stream went on for 6.5 hours>there was a 2 hour watchalong after that.>anons started running defense for Pippa in the threads, acting like normalfags and tourists to justify why anons don't hate a right to feel betrayed or upset. Like they don't understand the fundamental parasocial element of vtubers.>unironic discord police szhizo acting like an authority on the threads, telling anons to stfu and accept the collab in silence. Got BTFOd.A big part of it was the war itself inside these threads. With some anons acting the tourists. Pippa is lowkey GFE, or at least sells a type of experience that implies no males on stream. She's our little sister/wife.
>muh it's just a content creator. That's touristspeak. That's not how vtubers work and those who don't know don't belong here.There were 4 groups who didn't like the male collab.
>Unicorns>regular GFE enjoyers>people who just don't like male talent on their oshi stream>people who simply found the content bad.On the other side there were 4 groups who ran defense for Pippa
>Tourists>Normalfags>Trolls>Discord whiteknights Unicorns felt betrayed, GFEs felt their immersion broken, no-male wanters went disinterested.
Tourists and normalfags shat on them because >is just entertainment bruh. Trolls fueled the flames. Whiteknights had a meltdown similar to unicorns but in the other direction: >nooo you must support your oshi no matter what or you're not a true fan! Silence! This is my thread! No dissent allowed!
Personally I'm between GFE and just not wanting Pippa to have male talents on her stream, which isn't the same as running interview with some guy from outside the industry, like Colress VA. The feel, vibe and context is different. Pippa gives me a comfy, semi intimate atmosphere with her streams, and part of that implies no males. And Pippa and PC reinforce that, this can't be denied.
I'm not going to re-narrate every singular shit flinging skirmish, of which there were many, you can peruse the archive for that. But will mention some important point that were brought up.
>Pippa in recent streams admitted being a unicorn herself. She also said that GFE streamers can't play dumb when they betray the unspoken social contract. And that you're still are GFE even if you claim you're not, because of your content. This validates her own unicorns.>It was brought up that she has time (and mental) to collab 3 times in one week with a literal who. Meanwhile she continues to ghost her coworkers, stream friends and people she says she's interested in collabing with. (Lisa cried over the pile of unanswered DMs). People are not buying the >muh anxiety excuse anymore.TLDR: Male collab bad. Pippa hate. Some anons not taking excuses. Some anons making excuses. Shit was flung. Members were cancelled. Kill tourists.
