>>21212537>What I don't understand is "Why?". Where do these people come from, and what do they gain from shoehorning new debutees into holotori?I mean, that's kind of what happens when you structure a group around a "theme" and promote it as such, that in the minds of the braindead normie fanbase it has long since outgrown its original purpose of "Kiara's group of friends, loosely based around a common gimmick" and grown a life of its own into "ALL Hololive ~birds~" (and every new "bird" gets now stuffed into it by default, no matter how flimsy their bird theme even is, no matter if they want it, and no matter if the existing Holotories even want it)
I mean on the one hand it's nice that one thing Kiara started has somewhat taken off in the wider consciousness, but on the other hand if it strays too far from its original purpose/meaning it'd be a shame if Kiara has to reign it in and course-correct again (like other memes in the past that became so annoying she had to put them down) and bring it back to "actually, this is the core group" size or rename her actual gang.
