Not to sound like a shitposter but we went a whole 2 years without male viewers getting anything, and the livers themselves seemingly have some kind of contempt for those viewers, except for the few that managed to retain their fans. I notice the same few pomudachis and rosebuds in all of Vivi's streams, the usuals that actually go to cons and have close friendships within the community so they'll never leave. It's a bad sign when they're relying on those same 30 or so regular viewers they've had since 2021 to prop up new waves. Something definitely needs to change within the branch if they want to recover male fans instead of ceding them entirely to Hololive.
Also doesn't help that both Kunai and Vivi are too scared to collab with senpais while Claude is out there riding the hanamori nepotism as much as possible.
