>>40823357there definetly were some periods in the past where some of the JP homos had to deal with a higher portion of their (then smaller) viewerbase being made up of EOPs, and doing a little pandering in return (trying to respond to english chats, or even doing actual english study/talking streams). But yeah, /hlg/ had little to do with it, if anything it was more a typical redditor pity saviorfagging operation (omg gotta boost our poor widdle bois, haha muh winning son, haha le pizza dad omg). It died down again anyway after the reddit pity savior brigade got bored and moved on (and now they have their own EN homos to watch anyway) or some JPs simply ignored them or outright told to fuck off, and the JP dudes established themselves more with their actual JP viewership
