>>12029581My stance on the whole 'idol culture' thing is somewhere in the middle. I don't believe it's anywhere near as prevalent in Hololive as some people make it out to be. If anything, it's a minority among minority. However, that is not to say that they don't have influence, as I find it hard to believe that pretty much no-one outside of ID and Gens 0 and 1 has ever even interacted with Holostars is due to pure coincidence. As the Taiwan incident proved, even a couple dozen antis can have a massive influence, and I honestly think a lot of Holomem are scared of the backlash they'd receive if they were to collab with Holostars. I'm not condemning them for this, it's understandable given how much of an impact antis can have on one's mental health, but I just wish things weren't this way, because I feel that more Hololive x Holostars would be mutually beneficial, and it's saddens me how the two branches have this giant wall between them. Of course, this is just my take on things, so feel free to tell me if you think I got something wrong.
