I canceled my membership after some time ago after not having watched them for over a year, mainly because I'm broke as fuck, and it's UNRELATED to any particular event. But since the membership is still active, I saw the member post and thought I would chime in.
The problem with fuwamoco is that they keep promising the moon, and simply can't deliver. From the very beginning they promised more than any vtuber ever could. This attracted an audience of men with equally unrealistic expectations. The pace they started from the beginning was borderline miraculous, but unrealistic for the long-term.
Whenever I see any other vtuber, they just seem... more relaxed? (btw I don't really watch anyone nowadays.) It's a double-edged sword. I initially found fuwamoco's extreme dedication admirable, and it sometimes yielded some pretty cool stuff. This motivates them to do well (good thing), but it also stresses them out and runs them into the ground, causing everything to fall apart and making them crawl over the finish line in a tattered state, if even that. They simply can't deliver what they promise, and the attempt to perform unrealistically hurts their ability to perform even moderately, and rather than emotional support in the context of gfe, they become emotional liability instead. Cover's corporate enshittification isn't helping.
Fuwamoco need to be saved, but the audience is too damaged themselves to help them. A good man expects a good wife, but a good man is also realistic about her capacity, gives her mercy and keeps her in good condition, something the Ruffians don't have the strength nor initiative for as an internet mass, and since this unrealism was what the entire relationship was built upon, and fuwamoco can't hand it out to themselves without looking lazy and breaking the initial promise.
The way they now just coincidentally happen to have to cancel valentines to rest is the most woman thing I've ever heard, both in good and in the bad. Like, it makes you admire their ability to keep up the act, but at the same time the obvious reality just makes you chuckle a bit. Maybe things could go a bit better if there was room for like, 2% more realism.
TL;DR, There's a toxic circle of unrealistic promises to fulfill unrealistic expectations which just leads to a world of hurt and dysfunction. Adjusting the expectations downwards would yield more value and healthier relationship, but it's difficult to do because this is the very foundation of the relationship.
