>Hire overpaid nepotism artists >Release busted-ass designs that look like shit. >Get an extremely negative reception from females>Realize these vtubers will never appeal to women>Shift on a dime, change all their marketing to calling them "brotubers" instead>Start promoting them to their male fans>Magni and Vesper in particular have fucked up hatchet-job designs>both of them have famous artists that can't afford to be humiliated>astroturf shills create a massive promotional campaign to push Magni and Vesper in particular>saturate the entire board with promotional posts>manage to actually convince lots of hololive fans, famous for being unicorns, into watching males>the two males they promoted in the memes became the most popular>this is basically a case study that proves the fans are literal subhumans who respond to advertising and memes like a trained monkeyThey did the same thing with the Council. Even though most of them are trash, they reinforce the opinion over time that they're all somehow special and amazing, and turn this into the popular consensus opinion. Or like how they changed everyone's minds about Kiara, who used to be utterly reviled and hated by the entire community, to see her in a positive light instead.
The iron grip that hololive's promotional campaign has over the minds of the people here is ridiculous. You can often see them crafting narratives and memes that benefit their corporation. Managing people's opinions the same way you would manage a flock of sheep. They tell you what to think about the stream you just watched, what opinion to have about this or that talent, what to think about x or y graduation. It's like watch a necromancer controlling his army of zombie slaves, that's the power they have over minds.
