>>103598451I want to keep going with this and talk about how Cover created this situation. By letting each talent decide whether or not to collab with the holostars, they put the blame for either decision squarely on them and I'm sure the girls were aware of it. Because there were no rules or restrictions, they were faced with the choice of
>collab with holostars>explicitly refuse to collab with holostarsor
>ignore the situationObviously they weren't going to take the second option. They're nice people, and most of the girls even wished the holostars well and wanted them to succeed. If they had spontaneously given a public statement that they didn't want any interactions it would obviously be bad for the reputation of both sides. That lead the girls that wanted to keep making CGDCT content to pick option 3, but the uncertainty that created opened the floor to homobeggars.
>After all, she has never SAID she didn't want to collab, so maybe she just needs a little encouragement.The refusal to treat holostars collabs as a matter the talents would have to take a stance on lead to fans being repeatedly surprised when their oshi they thought was safe scheduled a collab, which radicalized fans of other safe talents against holostars and the management that were perceived as pushing the issue. In turn, beggars became increasingly aggressive in attacking anyone they perceived as exhibiting "unicorn" characteristics.
The controversy drew a lot of attention on Twitter which I believe was the whole point. The goal was to provoke an anti-unicorn crusade and draw in Nijisanji fans from the Luxiem streams Yagoo was so jealous of.
