>>38867967Her streams not being up to your standards is understandable, especially if you don't understand Japanese. Her singing has been hindered by her ear condition so I get that people don't think she's improved, and some people simply don't like her voice. But improvements in performance? She had a very awkward body language in the past, and still does to a degree, and wasn't the best dancer, it became even more obvious when Suisei used her 3D model, but her current improvement is literally visible on the many lives she's performed in.
I'm a heimin because she's very relatable. She has extreme bad luck, and tells many embarrassing but funny stories. She has good interactions with chat, I think Kanata and Lamy are very underrated when it comes to the back and forth between chat and the streamer, in the eop sphere that is. As for the idol aspect, she has had her dreams crushed because of her condition, yet she is still energetic and peppy in her streams, will appear in a lot of lives, does her dance reps, and puts out more covers than anyone in holo, except for maybe Okayu. She's sweet to her friends, was literally the person who talked to Marine when she was ruminating about graduation. Her comforting a crying Coco was also on stream, and Lamy talks about how much Kanata supports Marine. It's also weird how Kanata, who rarely does collabs these days, is still dismissed as a leech for some reason, and eops, mainly the new ones just run with it while not even watching her streams. She has moments when she is menhera and she has a lot of flaws too but dismissing her entirely is strange to me.
Kanata is a hardcore idol fan, a female-idol-fan, so saying things like in the op's post is very on brand for her. And even that post was from a bit she regularly does. There are heimins who would probably throw a huge fit if she actually has a boyfriend sure, but an ongoing bit is literally about how it's hard to imagine Kanata getting a boyfriend because she is an unpopular loner with a lame fashion sense, uncharacteristically strong (for a girl) grip strength, and her pigsty of a room. I think the riajuu-go-die bit is funny too
