>>20722733>Absolute height of Hololive, late 2020, early 2021>deep in the parasocial hole, HoloEN is like a sort of cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime that plays 24/7>a bizarre oasis from the hellworld that is modern pop culture>not so much as a cloud on the horizon>until one day, your oshi announces she's collabing with a greasy Welsh manlet, and makes a big deal out of her desire to interact with the other scraggly-bearded, homeless looking e-celebs that make up the upper crust of Youtube and Twitch>your oshi will NOT let go of this, no matter how much time passes, or how many of her members revile it, and as time goes on you feel yourself outnumbered greatly by yes-men paypigs straight out of Twitch hot tub streams>what's worse your oshi now wants to collab with Twitch 'vtubers' that are the spawn of the same cultural cesspit of online entertainment you started watching Hololive to escape>it dawns on you now>this wasn't an oasis>it was a mirageEven though Mori never got most of what she was pushing for back then, and even seems to be on a bit of a redemption arc now, I can see how a certain type of deadbeat could come out of that whole arc with PTSD.
