>Why do you dislike male collabs?
There are really two main answers that unicorns will give. The first is the "CGDCT" (cute girls doing cute things) answer--essentially, many people watch Hololive for a comfy feeling of cute anime girls interacting with each other and providing a moe feeling (pic related), in the same way that many popular anime and manga like K-ON, Gochiusa, and Yuru Yuri (which all have entirely female main casts and, at most, a couple male side characters that are usually fathers, teachers, etc.) do; for CGDCT fans, males "ruin the vibe". The other group, of course, is gachikoi fanbase who have a romantic attachment to their oshi; these fans tend to prefer solo streams to collabs (even all-girl collabs) and are jealous of the men who get to play with their oshi for free, which is an entirely natural impulse and no different from getting jealous of your high school crush hanging out with boys that aren't you.
>Just don't watch the streams with male collabs in them.
This works for many "soft" unicorns, but even then it's an imperfect solution. Most Hololive talents focus primarily on solo streaming and will only have so many collabs in a given week, so more male collabs probably means fewer all-girl collabs--unless they just decide to hold more collabs, which then cuts into solo streaming.
>You can't control what the girls do.
Of course, only Cover and EN management can do that, but we are free to voice discontent at someone who had gone over a year (Kronii) or two years (Ame) without male collabs suddenly pivoting to doing them. I don't condone harassment but I strongly suspect that there have been very few incidents of actual harassment and that those are being used to smear everyone who doesn't like male collabs.
>But the JP girls collab with males!
There are 35 active members of the main Hololive (JP) branch. Of those, only a few actually collab with male vtubers on a semi-frequent basis. Prior to the debut of Gen 3 (which was when Hololive started to really shift into an idol direction), more talents collabed with males like Subaru and Miko, but they haven't done this years and are not going to collab with males again in the foreseeable future. And with talents like Fubuki, those male collabs are held once every few months, whereas Mori, Kronii, Ame, and Bae have been collabing with Tempus almost weekly, and in some cases more than once a week.
>You're just an incel/maidenless/have no female friends.
No shit, Sherlock. Of course the people who are watching moving anime avatars talk and play video games for hours and have crushes on said anime avatars probably aren't getting laid and probably also don't have many real-life friends, and of course these are the people buying Kronii's dakimakuras and oppai mousepads. Most of culture and society rejects this demographic, but Hololive has catered to them for years, and now parts of HoloEN are suddenly shifting away from them towards a different audience.
