>>42372492She's destined to be a flop forever, that's for sure.
People want Flare to be the cool and sexy, but she wanted to be cute and went with it regardless. Except the reason why Flare was hired by Hololive WAS her cool and sexy image. Her model is easily the most SEX out of the GOLDEN GENERATION of the MOST WELL KNOWN vtuber company. She could easily gain more success if she played her exotic coombait character properly (not good on its own, but it's better than nothing). Rejecting and stubbornly trying to change was a big mistake, now she's permanently stuck in a well endowed brown model that goes against her preferred aesthetic in an industry where people tried to match their avatar.
>Cunnies mog her in cuteness>Other hags mog her in maturity>The snow elf mogs her in GFE>Her own genmates mog her in humor>Fucking Kanata mogs her in tsukkomiBut wait, there's more!
>Wants to be seen as cute badly but breaks character too often when playing games>Refuses to be the butt of the joke when bantering>Pathetically unfunny bits like "I like loli!" or "I have ADHD and I'm angry!">Wet blankets any ship or collab partner by being prude>Continuously using ugly chibi fanart from that one artist for her thumbnails>Hard to schedule collabs with because of her secondary job>Nothing to say in zatsudans, rarely shares anything about her private life, gachikois know nothing about her after watching for so long>Refuses among us collabs because it hurts her feewings. Same with rust initially.>Ruined Shiraken by recruiting too many members, also by being deadweight outside block gameSo on so forth. By their own these are all salvageable, together they make a trash heap
So what does Flare have going for her?
>One of the best endurance singers in Hololivebut her singing voice and song choices are not exceptional... except with songs that could actually make use of her cool voice like Kaibutsu or Ussewa and not fucking Kokoro Odoro again
>Very feminine: Really kind to other holomem, smells nice, likes to recommend good beauty productsbut none of that translates well to a good experience for an average viewer
>Good sense of architecture for a holobut doesn't show it outside of block game and animal crossing.
>Barrage of orisongs on her latest concertbut all of them are bland and forgettable. No personality trait or lore gimmick to market. And where's the album?
I used to endure watching her for months. She's adjacent to a lot of holomem I like so I really want to like her too. But the more I watch the more of her flaws are exposed, the more I feel like I'm robbed from the full experience. She's an underdog without the underdog appeal. These days I don't bother watching her outside collabs.
Everything that went wrong with her is her own doing. And just like the broken MTL english in her outro, it will likely never be fixed. If Hololive didnt grow big she would have graduated by now. おつfuckingぬい.
