>>56275128Ike's situation has a bit more nuance than just a guy being a male vtuber. The problem is that 3 out of 5 Luxiem members, in all their infinite wisdom, pandered very hard to a bunch of women in Asia that have English as their second language. That's assuming that they're that fluent, too.
They basically traded steady growth with a marketable image as entertainers in favor of whoring themselves out to a bunch of women that can barely understand them in the first place, but they just want them to pretend to be their white BFs.
And they're very protective, moreso than the average neckbear with his oshi. And because they never bothered to tardwrangle early on or even since, that's the fandom and now "culture" that they're left with.
