>>50398635Towa does it in limited doses mostly around her FPS shit and Sora keeps it under idol-like contexts.
They don't go out of their way collab witht he stars specifically, they don't do it weekly and hang out and play games, they don't collab with them more than they collab with the rest of the branch, they don't have them as their buddies front and center on their streams every week.
What happened on EN and Ame was a part of was basically unheard of in JP, without any stops the direction was just turning into Nijisanji. Complete fusion of Hololive and Holostars in a way that has never happened in jp.
All the EN girls involved turned their back on what Hololive is and its fans rule or not but Ame was particularly unprofessional on top.
Kawaii had its strict rule in place from day 1 but they also have a shit ton of rules it's just a very control heavy corpo.
Not all rules are written and not all standards are planned from the start. Often rules are put in place when they are needed to preserve what is the not explicit but accepted as ideal form of something. And this being a Japanese company it's still all a bit vague, note how NijiEN exposed how Nijisanji handles things. Any "break' or "vacation" or "sick day" is just a suspension. Not saying Hololive does that exact thing just saying that rules aren't always public.
Sometiems there's no rule because everyone goes along with what's accepted already so it's not needed. Some rules are just consensus between people. Hololive members obviously know their fans don't want males on stream, just like Ame did, but they accept it and don't do it it and they must understand it's better if the entire group avoids it.
HoloID is its own weird thing, it has literal 3 views, it's a tiny side branch that is almost unimportant.
Whatever it has been doing is clearly not working that well for them and I can't really say much about how they decided to go in that direction and how their audience feels about it or if they've ever met any objections about it or their responses to it.
HoloEN specifically was a much bigger deal, it was meant to be a more serious international branch of Hololive and it had no male interaction for 2 years. That was already a well established standard that resembled what they do in JP so it's fully reasonable to expect them to continue that direction.
