>>36974194My rrat is that it, like most problems that happen with fandoms, arose from misunderstandings and miscommunications. This kind of thing also happens in real life social interaction, but the difference there is that if there's two people who had a misunderstanding, they can often work it out by talking it over.
In this case, it's a group of people and a streamer, neither of whom actually know each other. The chat's message is muddled, and the streamer's interpretation is inaccurate. The loud ones get their message through clearly (don't collab with males reeeeeee), and it's repulsive to most normal people's sensibilities. The REAL message (you don't stream that much and I don't like male collabs, so skipping streams would really suck) is much harder to get through, at least in part because some unicorns say this sort of thing to hide the fact they're unicorns and make the people who actually have this opinion look bad.
So Kronii starts getting bitter towards these fans, misinterpreting what many of them are really thinking, and thinks that anyone who doesn't like male collabs must be a unicorn, no in-between. And thus, this shitshow happens.
The fact that Kronii's menhera probably doesn't help. Someone like Fauna or Gura
or Pippa is fairly good at making a connection with their audience without being too personal about it, Kronii isn't. As soon as she collabed with the males, the fact that she was much closer to them then she ever was to chat became really obvious. That's my non-unicorn interpretation as to why it especially irked so many of her viewers.
People who become vtubers are often menhera in some way. I think some of those menhera people find a way to get better through vtubing and some people's menhera just gets enabled by it, and Kronii's is the latter.
