As a rule of thumb, if you can't freely be a racist sexist nationalist bigot who denies your race's war crimes while cracking jokes about fucking teenage girls, then your culture is too "no fun allowed" for anyone in it to be legitimately funny. This is why healthy kingdoms with good kings allowed the court jesters complete immunity from execution, as they otherwise wouldn't be able to effectively entertain people. The people's anger would then have no outlet, and instead be turned on both kingdom and countrymen.
Humorists in authoritarian communist countries aren't granted the same leeway, which is why people are so tense and angry in America, Western Europe, and China. It's why EN and CN were such hot garbage. Unless the king grants immunity from consequences to those who tell jokes, humor will shrivel up and die because nobody's willing to risk getting lynched by peasants or having their heads chopped off by the guillotine. The material will always be stale, uninspired and as conservative as possible to avoid any potential backlash.
tldr pedos are unironically better than puritans, society would be better with underage prostitution than cancel culture, and the fact that everyone envies japanese culture (which stems from a patriarchal society where underage prostitution is the norm) just goes to show that even the woketards, in their heart of hearts, understand how much healthier freedom of speech, expression and association are for society as a whole than trying to impose the kind of rigid ideological orthodoxy that drives people to literally go to war with their own neighbors and fight them in the streets.
I mean, does anyone think chubas from North Korea would be funny or interesting? Fuck no. Chubas are a product and reflection of their culture. Obviously EN chubas are going to be condemned and abandoned by unironic anime fans as a consequence. The only question is, once the core demo leaves, will the ironic fans attention spans' be long enough for them to not leave as well after the Chad neckbears decide that en chubas aren't cool or novel anymore. Because at the end of the day, autistic otaku are always at the forefront of weeb trends. Weeb trends live or die based on the opinions of amoral basement dwellers. If we all go back to doing our reps and yolo everything into jp6, that spells disaster for en chubas who are culturally gimped by having to adhere to a more restrictive set of public morals. This is the reality of market economics. Ideologically motivated regulation only gets in the way of meeting demand. In reality, en chubas never actually stood a chance for that reason alone.
Unless the east and west abandon applying public morals to speech and entertainment, I genuinely don't believe Hololive or Niji EN have a future. Standout indies will still succeed like popular streamers do. But I don't think the future market can support agencies or leeches like the Japanese streaming ecosystem can, no when they have to tiptoe around offending people to avoid bad PR. Western misandrist puritans and anti-puritans are literally bugmen themselves, and the future success of en chubas depends entirely on whether or not they're not crushed and expelled from polite society. If they're not, Hololive EN will probably go the way of Hololive CN.
