>>19602434>Literally only a thing people say in hereWell, of course, that's why I said "they meme about the same shit like we do here", and that's why I don't really get all fanny-flustered about it, otherwise I'd have to be angry at the board too, or it'd be hypocritical. (or is this supposed to be one of those "well, >we can say it and it's fine, because it's just us but if people from the other company, our tribalfag instincts are supposed to kick in and we have to defend 'our' company from 'them'!" things?)
As for the sub-culling, that's not really what people mean by "underwhelming", more like that Council generally doesn't really further and improve the Hololive brand (and sub-culls affected the other people during that time too, so it's not the end-all copexcuse just for Council), but they're not setting new records in other metrics like Superchats either. Of course, they're not a total write-off and "disappointment" either, that's only for Cover and their internal key performance indicators to decide, but outside of that, the fans (and apparently, other vtubers) are free to shitpost what they want about them.
>Male auditions have been a thing for quite some time now.Not really, and you know it. Sure, Cover had "all genders apply!" for their previous auditions, but that was more of a fig leaf and they always debuted just females. NOW they're explicitely auditioning for males, and saying that it has nothing to do with reacting to NijiEN males' success is less believable than that it does.
>The "Hololive tech is getting behind the times" is the only one you can really agree with.And to be fair, Niji tech is in the same boat, being locked-up (proprietary), rigid and outdated. Both Holo and Niji chuubas have to make do with static images if they want to have some quick spontaneous props attached to their models, whereas nowadays even indie 2views can get moving accessories added quickly to their live2D model that uses flexible third-party software.
