>>32337852with Bae, Mori, and ID, the expectation was set at the start that they would do male collabs. Anyone who thought they were bluffing either had their expectations adjusted or left the fanbase. The only reason the Kronii situation was what it was was because she went a full year with no indication she would do it (I dont watch her that much so this could be maybe be disproven), provided a certain type of stream for her members (wont call it gfe because I dont think it is) and then outta nowhere went straight into one with almost no prior warning.
The Ame shit is a little weirder because shes shown interest in holostars since debut but very rarely and without any indication she actually would try to collab with them.
tldr; expectations are the reason
