>>89928781She needs to understand, this isn't the VTuber (JP) world of the past when the industry was so fucking small that fans may have been willing to put up with some amount of disrespect or cock gargling if they liked your design, personality or gimmick - because the industry was undeveloped and not yet filled with all manner of corpos and indies chasing different niches yet.
It's the same reason people put up with ERB nowadays, there's really no one else that does as many EN Karaokes as well - HoloEN in general have been quite reluctant to do EN karaokes for an EN branch, which ERB took advantage of to set up her niche and a beggar safe space.
In JP that stuff is no longer possible.
If you're boring, JPs have 10 whole fucking generations worth of girls to watch - and all sorts of JP indies, a big competitor and smaller corpos for people with your gimmick.
Riona is not unique. And in the current environment of Hololive where every gen is only reaching the caps of aggressive mediocrity (compared to all their senpai who are doing all sorts of large scale projects and spreading their name far and wide), someone who can't even be mediocre and THEN disrespects the audience will be rejected outright.
People just no longer have the time for woman moment bullshit anymore.
