HoloJP is mainstream because anime isn't really seen as "cringe" anymore. Holos can do cheers at a major baseball league game IN THE FUCKING STADIUM and be treated as a completely normal occurrence.
Right now normalfags in the west are not yet ready for VTubers. You can already see how much damage they can do to a small VTuber with just a small amount of meme attention in Dacapo's case.
Something like EN Holos cheering at MLB right now will just cause a riot at the stadium, and will likely invite millions of people to shit on them online, thousands of youtube comments, millions of views worth of tiktoks, mainstream news outlets shredding them apart with schizo rrats the likes of which the VTubing industry has never seen before, and the entire fanbase will be SEVERELY outnumbers and outgunned when it comes to narrative control.
The culture of the west is too irony-poisoned for VTubers to be mainstream right now.
In about a decade or two though, the situation would be interesting to see.
