>>13972645you need to know gen5's history, they were delayed and suffered behind the scenes, then got their debuts and lost a member immediately, then like a month or two later EN debuted all of a sudden, breaking all records in hololive and having everyone's attention, and now you have 4 broken and scared girls who had to work extra hard just to be relevant, then nene got fucked by cover because of forcing her to be the "we appeal to china" model and the china disaster happened and she was forced to be put behind everyone else in her own gen in everything, the 4 talked a lot about this shit behind the scenes with each others and bonded over it, and when they started getting comfortable after their anniversary, gen 6 suddenly hits out of nowhere and they EXPLODE in subs, with 2 of them already having half the subs of gen5.
Nene being not well and recovering and Polka overworked and not being able to stream regularly, some guy targets lamy, the most sensitive of the bunch with "you see this new girl who already have half your subs? I love her now, bye lol" which, if she knows it or not, hit right in her insecurities and the thing that might give her nightmares, and involuntarily broke in tears on stream, instead of like behind the scenes to her genmates.
Botan once said that she cries over things that make her sad, but not on screen, she has to stray strong on stream, things do make her sad but she has to stay strong
