>>42889796I defended male vtubers before Luxiem came along. I watched them in JP, and they're fucking great.
But then Luxiem came and lacked any of the professionalism or delicacy that talents like Kagami had, and went harder into pandering than anyone considered acceptable before then. Fast forward a bit, and nearly every male vtuber to come out of Nijien is offensively bad.
But I figure that Tempus will be held to a higher standard because hololive is just a more restrictive company. And they kind of are, but instead we get eight boys that're aggressively mediocre compared to just about any other group in the corporate scene. Only one out of eight has a talent, period, and his sheer latiness makes him unwatchable for me despite his great singing.
Male vtubers are legitimately just far worse in the English scene right now than female vtuubers. The entire gender over here is completely reliant on parasocial pandering. Brotuberfags are even sadder than true blue unicorns. I'm just so disappointed.
