Do you not understand why sponsored collab don't count?
A sponsored "collab" is different because when you're in a company, you don't just represent yourself, you represent the company, and as a representative of the company you have the ability to go out and create inter-company connections (promotions) that benefit not only yourself but everyone in the company. Doing these collabs offers up new opportunities for both yourself and the company at large and is absolutely worth the investment, normal male collabs achieve none of this.
Going to an event to represent your company when there's a male host or other male guests for the event is fundamentally different from going out of your way to set up a personal, unpaid, unnecessary collab with another male content creator.
Who are you even trying to convince that it's the same, surely not others, yourself? By this point you either know why some things are ok and some things aren't, or you're just being deliberately ignorant and acting in bad faith just so you can troll.
