>>41899400ehh ID i can picture but even on the EN side, aside from a tweet promoting them when they debuted, the girls have mostly left them alone... i picture that's because these new boys are very obviously geared towards a different market, i think they wanted tempus1 to appeal to the female/gay market but they didn't, so they're overcorrecting now with the designs of the new boys... so desu i could see the new boys not collabing with the EN girls cause they're clearly meant for a different audience, they tried to play the brotuber angle with tempus1 which meant trying to market them to the average male hololive fan, but these new guys aren't going for that angle, so i could picture management telling the boys to back off from the collabing with the girls because this time, they are very actively targeting different audiences unlike tempus1 which tried to target a new audience, failed, and reverted back to trying to appeal to the main hololive demographic. ID is such a small market on the other hand, so it's sort of worth sacrificing that entire branch for the potential of gettinh a new vox
