>>32508424The truth? The actual truth?
It's actually very complicated. It has nothing to do with virtue signaling or whatever bullshit /pol/ has rotted your brain with. It's just capitalism. The short answer is that Hololive is a big fish in a small pond, while Nijisanji is a small fish in a big pond. Think outside vtubing. Companies like Holo and Niji want to grow beyond niche internet streaming and turn their business into something that can compete with like, anime and television as an industry. Hololive's continued growth requires breaking into new markets, which is very difficult for it to do in its current form.
Hololive is undeniably the industry leader, but they've done so by associating themselves with idolfags and anime otaku, and pandering heavily to them. And that's been very lucrative for them, undeniably, but they've also reached saturation. How many more potential Hololive fans are you going to get from the kissless virgin demographic? I think just about everyone who could be a Hololive fan, is one, at this point. Or at least knows about them. And Hololive keeps them happy, but in doing so - keeping up the CGDCT atmosphere, doing idol shit, keeping genders segregated, etc - all this turns off normalfags and the twitch market. A much, much larger, more general audience that represents an untapped market. Corporations like Hololive are never content with what they have, they always want more. They always want their cake and to eat it too. But the twitch audience wants male collabs, they want to see the girls interact with men, they care about interesting content more than they do GFE. That's the difference between the idol crowd and the twitch crowd.
Nijisanji has done a good job of gathering this crowd. They don't do as good of a job with the otaku crowd as Holo does - but they don't alienate the GFE fans either, that's key - despite what some dramafags on /vt/ will say, Niji has plenty of parasocial incels feeding akasupas as well and Selen worshippers or whatever. But at the same time, they normalize male collabs, stream with twitch streamers, and in doing so they break the barrier and introduce their vtubers to this twitch audience Hololive desperately wants. That's what Holo wants to copy. But at the same time, Hololive has kind of "spoiled" its idol fans - it's gotten them used to being waited on, hand and foot, and so there's this dilemma - Hololive made its name for pandering to idolfags, but in doing so it makes it impossible to grow into new markets.
Tempus is a VERY measured and careful attempt to break into a new market. Barely collab with the girls, compared to what Niji does, and the idolfags still go wild and bully Kronii into taking a break. And this is why Holo struggles to enter the Twitch market. In the end, I don't care who's right or wrong or who's the cuck or who's the incel, but this is the truth - Hololive wants to grow, it doesn't JUST want to be a niche thing for idolfags and Otaku.
