Unironically.
I think it is worse to have a bf, even in secret that your fans never ever find out about, than talking to a male on-stream, in most situations.
Why? Because your audience and patrons are losers that have never known, and some convince themselves they will never know, the touch of a woman. However, maybe it is because I'm not so far gone that the thought of me speaking one-on-one with a woman seems absolutely alien to me, that I don't see the big deal in male collabs. But if you have a bf, and you put on this persona of "haha i'm just like you guys uwu forever alone" or "i'm an aidoru so no dating teehee" feels much more sinister and predatory to me.
The only way I could consider talking to males worse than having a secret bf is:
If like Enna and Kyo, you two cannot stop mentioning each other and do cross the line between flirting and what not (call her baby girl, etc). I do not consider talking between two people of opposite sexes flirting, nor is it if one laughs at a joke the other makes. But holding hands on stream and calling each other pet names "as a joke" is.
The other is if you pull a Nyanners and basically get picked up by a guy on-stream and everyone knows. Where streaming is no longer about just what YOU do, it now becomes what you and X do together. All the fucking time.
