>>28515178Ame was among the very first English generation of Hololive. Just like every generation on any company, you get to shape your culture and your fans throughout your streams, experiences and shenanigans. If you're literally testing the waters of how western fans are going to react to you and evolve *with* you, you cannot do something as reckless as shutting what could be a big part of them down, especially if your own company is testing if your branch is even worth the risk.
Bae on the other hand, is from the second gen. The EN1 girls already went through all these happy and tough times, they've introduced memes, they've had yabs, and we already got a feel for what they do, etc. With this, Bae already knows how people react to a western chuuba and the types of fans that exist in these parts of the world (or at least the parts that predominantly speak english) so she can absolutely take that stance and nip the gachikois in the bud from the get-go.
Now, what I think happened here is, a this point in the present, either Ame thought that her fanbase would know her well enough to know that having group collabs with guys wasn't going to ruin anything between them or change her behavior, or she just isn't aware of how fucking gosling teamates get (probably because they might all release their hormones here and on the Ame discord server or something)
On that note, has Ame unironically done GFE or GFE-ish type streams? I don't think her telling you guys about how her life goes counts, so if she hasn't, this all might be a (You) problem.
