>>75293971One factor that not enough people notice is that the tubers will always side with the male if shit goes down. I have literally yet to see a male collab yab happen where the girl immediately cuts off contact just because their fanbase kicks up a shit storm over it, and they only ever give the usual "I will decide who I want to be friends/collab with" spiel as a response. Which is obvious, both sides want each other's companionship (platonic or otherwise), of course they'd resist being told not to.
As such it's much safer for the male to shoot their shot than you'd think; I'm reminded of when the story about a literal actual sexpest male vtuber who flirted and sexually harassed over 20(?) indies got around on Twitter. That many people and not a single attempt was snitched on until shit went down. Why wouldn't you try your luck if you can be that safe from retaliation?
