>>98637418I've been meaning to type a unicorn essaypost someday and since this is posted in the thread and FWMC aren't streaming anyways I'm gonna take the opportunity to effortpost, because if there's even one person arguing in good faith in this thread, it'll be worth it.
TLDR: If you give them an inch, they take a mile. If you like CGDCT you will eventually be radicalized and forced to take the positions of even the most vehement unicorns not even because you believe in it, but just because it's easier in the long run and prevents problems. It's easier to just preach zero tolerance instead of taking the time to write out everything I'm about to.
Many people start out as E7s or D7s. I know I did. Despite what bad faith people will say, nobody starts out as an evil "incel". But if you watch Hololive long enough, most people are drawn to the feeling they get when they watch a bunch of cute girls being cute together. Numerous people inside and outside of Hololive have remarked on this, Subaru, Mio, even La+ (ironically), those old Japanese comedian hosts. The old comedians even said, they don't want to intrude or be there, they just like watching because it heals them. Male collabs disrupt this dynamic and even have further consequences after the stream ends. For one thing, you have the fucking Twitter and Reddit normalfag crowd who jump on in and praise the collaber for "breaking down barriers" while simultaneously subtly or not so subtly shitting on and attacking everyone else, especially people like FUWAMOCO who "enable weirdos". You also have "unicorns" feeling sad, angry, betrayed, and there's drama from that. As you will come to see a lot of those "unicorns" are just the end stage of the process that I'm describing now. And if you're honest with yourself, you might find yourself enjoying the content a little bit less, you're not quite sure why, or maybe seeing this change makes the stream feel different. It's just a male collab so why does it bother you? It doesn't help that often these collab streams are not very good objectively and often take away from content you really wanted to see unless your oshi is a streaming machine like Koyori.
To be clear, I am in no way excusing people who say "I'd be fine with male collabs if there was no drama" or "I'm fine with male collabs just not this particular male" because I think those people are dishonest and lying to themselves and everyone else. But is a fact that male collabs bring a lot of turmoil and shit to the fanbase for little if any gain.
As the young people say, "vibes" are important and CGDCT is a very specific vibe, one that always gets ruined by male collabs. Not to mention it attracts ironic weebs and failed normalfags. These people are still secretly ashamed of liking their interests and could like them a bit more publicly if say that weird stigma around mixed gender collabs was gone. Because that would make Vtubing just a little bit more "acceptable" in their eyes.
Once you've watched this situation play out a couple of times, or if it happens once but it happens to a girl you really really care about, like an oshi, you will lose tolerance for male collabs and all the shit that they bring. And it will hurt your heart too if you're parasocially involved, which is a big appeal of this hobby let's be honest.
As I said before, this is a gradual process and most people are in denial about being parasocial or liking weeb shit or even liking CGDCT. Words like "parasocial" and "unicorn" are used to scare people who are still seeking acceptance from others, the same way "incel" was wielded in the normalfag world (and still is used here too by tourists). But eventually if you watch Hololive long enough, you will become redpilled to the point where you don't want your chuuba doing any collabs aside from a few male entertainers (and maybe not even that) and not interacting with "whores" because some of them absolutely will try and sway your oshi to the dark side. Looking at you Ollie and Loafy, and if you believe the rrats Mori with Kronii. Having Holos take a sudden turn towards male collabs years in like Kronii or Ame or Shiori also makes for a bunch of disgruntled fans who didn't sign up for that. That's why you'll even see people praise ERB or Bae because "at least they're honest about it" although IMO those people are still undergoing transformation. Being an extremist is simpler because many people are shitposting and won't take the time to read out anything, even if you do take the time to write it all out. If you watch Hololive long enough, this will probably happen to you, no one event will cause it and even me writing this wall out probably won't make you realize it. You have to come to it on your own after seeing examples firsthand. However if you're already in the later stages like me, you don't want to sacrifice your oshi just so newfags can have their first taste of bitter medicine so it's easier just to keep beating the monkeys.
