>>52458736This is probably the reality of the situation.
She's phoning it in, not really engaging, not even keeping up basic kayfabe for stuff like pre-recorded dances. Showing up to half heartedly shill merchandise, and keep the memberships rolling in for Holo.
Her return stream was an hour and a half, and is almost 10 days old at this point. I'm a chumbud but stopped caring once it was clear she was phoning it in.
Any chumbud paying for a membership right now is delusional in some way and has more money than sense.
It not even about grappling with her Senzawa days either as she's moved past that persona now.
If I had to guess, it would have something to do with her pedo-adjacent audience. Sure there's no CP, but the constant UOOOH and crying in the chat is a lolicon dogwhistle.
Sure the audience just thinks she's cute and funny, but those two words mean an entirely different thing to some parts of the community.
People seem to forget that before wanting to be an entertainer for manchildren, she wanted to be one for actual children.
Yeah maybe her interest in anime and shitposting gave her a tolerance for lolicons, but as she gets up in age that tolerance is probably shrinking.
Even so, if I found it this hard to play video games for even a few hours a week (and get paid fat stacks by simps for it) I'd just quit for my own well being. She has to have enough money to retire.
If her fans unconditional love and admiration isn't enough, the money can't entice her, and her coworkers can't encourage/assist her why not just quit?
I wish she would just get it over with and graduate, and focus on her life IRL. At least then she doesn't have to worry about a bunch of virgins with no rizz monitoring her online presence.
And those losers can take their money to some other vtuber who actually streams regularly, and still care about their audience for whatever reasons those may be.
