>>53266415Pekomiko is what got me into Hololive, and I know a lot of other people too. You had to be there, they were such a great combo and you could tell they were genuinely having fun together. Watching old clips is nostalgiac but sad. I have to admit, it took me a while to get over it ending the way it did. Personally I always (in my head) blamed Peko for what happened, I didn't watch her for well over a year. I still don't watch streams but I enjoy her in clips and collabs now.
Sadly we will never know what happened. The idea that Miko was more insistent on the pairing than Peko, and Peko was getting bothered by the fans makes some sense but the complete cut of contact is too extreme.
Miko definitely gets clingy, and she is on record, both in pre holo and in hololive streams for voicing her preference for girls, and her willingess to kiss them. I really can't discount her trying to make a move on Peko. Meanwhile Peko is known to be antisocial and not into that sort of stuff.
Whats sad is they were such good friends and had a history back to NicoNico times, so its just kinda sad.
As far as I know they are back on speaking terms now, but they clearly are just coworkers and not friends anymore.
