>>20952761There's something called "setting expectations" which is what the dude is doing in his tweet.
He's making it clear that there will be no collab leeching attempts from his with respect to the hologirls. The audience that is fine with that can feel free to watch him.
Same way Suisei recently reaffirmed her anti-gachikoi stance for her newer viewers.
Fanbase cracking almost ALWAYS happens because you set an expectation for your fans (either intentionally or not) and then break that expectation.
A good example is Nijisanjii EN being introduced for the first THREE waves as a comfy all-girls group with more freedom than hololive, and their interactions with the JP males did not go beyond nervous senpai-kouhai stuff.
They got the audience that wanted holo style atmosphere but without excluding males, and a little more 'family' style atmosphere let's say.
And then Luxiem debuted, and the entire group went into VShojo territory, vulgar jokes, sucking cocks, more collabs than solo streams etc.
The fans that got their expectations wrecked with either find some way to cope with it and become bitter tribals, or quietly leave to find someone else that serves their niche.
