>>58027534What actually happened with Kronii was a little more complicated. Basically she first attempted to understand where her delusional paypigs were coming from, but then figured out that they were completely retarded. They are frothing at the mouth about it to this day, and whether or not she meant it this way is irrelevant, the effect was the same.
Basically Kronii did not have a lot of things going for her as a streamer early on. She had the Wada model and a nice voice. But she wasn't great at zatsudan, she wasn't great at games, and she wasn't great at singing, she also did karaoke pretty rarely. Which is fine, part of the joy of the Hololive experience is watching your streamer develop over time. Thus delusional paypigs had to find something else to latch onto and they did so by becoming parasocial with her. This wasn't helped by her choosing to watch a lot of "Gosling" movies in member streams like The Truman Show, and of course Ryan Gosling himself in Blade Runner and La La Land.
The male collab thing was not well received by the delusional paypigs and they made their discontent known by threatening to rape and murder her.
The point is during a special unarchived member stream, Kronii took the time to read these posts, out loud on stream, in an effort to better understand what these people were unhappy about. And for a brief moment, she had satisfied the irrational whims of a small number of profoundly mentally ill people. While Reddit and Twitter were calling these people unicorns and incels, she naively took the time to read them, addressed their concerns, and even defended them, saying she didn't want people attacking her "fans". She stated clearly, that while she would NOT stop doing male collabs, she would not initiate them, probably not tweet to them that much, and she would not stream her POV to them. The point is, she was a fool to not dismiss them out of hand, like others were doing.
Then less than a day later, she did this tweet, disappeared for a week, and when she came back said she would collab with whoever, whenever, and that was the end of it. There was no further discussion and at the same time the Hololive account made that proclamation against harassing the talents.
So in the eyes of the delusional paypigs who felt betrayed, she had gone from understanding them and defending them, to siding with the people who mocked them and disparaged them, while running and hiding behind the skirts of the company from the inevitable backlash she had to know would follow. Honestly it would have been better if she had never done that unarchived members stream. She gave them hope that she understood, if not fully agreeing with where they came from, and then dashed it violently. That's why they hate her so much. It's not as simple as "male collabs" or "unfortunately idol culture is a thing" it is the result of what happens when you give an inch to adults that have the emotional maturity of a four-year-old and a room temperature IQ.
