>>34115860Do all these pro-homo shills not even contemplate that, if you're not watching a streamer just for the pure visceral cuteness only achievable with an anime avatar, then a male vtuber is competing in the same space functionally as the established hundreds of thousands of dudes on twitch? There are plenty of ugly motherfuckers on twitch who are 10x more entertaining than any of the Tempus guys. NijiEN going straight for the jugular of making ikemen for the fujos is simply cutting out the fucking bullshit HoloEN management gorges themselves on thinking they can compete with mainstream twitch men. They cannot. Forcing themselves into the space of cute girls streaming also has no effect and isn't some kind of hidden leg-up either - the dudes are not buffed from the collab spam with Holo girls, there literally is a contingent of people who come in to hate-watch just to try to "own the incels" who don't like the idea on its face. Well those incels fucking know this hobby better than the twitch clipfags that's for damn sure, they're not pulling punches and sometimes the truth is fucking inconvenient, and that truth is that Hololive was utterly built up entirely on the name of cute girls doing cute things and it is utter poppycock to think "just put guys into the picture now it's all the same" - no, no it fucking isn't.
Management isn't here to cater and bend over backwards for the girls wanting to have their cake and eat it too, it isn't here to validate them or make them feel important, or like vtubing is some social justice movement - they are mere entertainers playing characters. They're simple, flat, one-dimensional, intentionally barred from all the heavy political/ethics shit spammed at you 24/7 on every other platform. Why? It's a relief from that irritating landscape. Do the girls not like that little drop of deliverance they provide, are they uncomfortable not needing to put on a mask and push other peoples' agendas every waking hour even in their "free" time? Are they that much of mental slaves? Then pull a Sana. Their spirit is not in this and they have no chill if they cannot help themselves but try to bring ethics/politics into this space.
