>>54868652Holy based taste....this girl is exactly as menhera, obsessive, and trauma dumping-prone as the true green menhera of EN.
I was so worried that Shiori would be a boring bland moeblob (considering the voice) and expected that she would have been lobotomized by Cover already. Worst case scenario would be if she ended up as bland, vanilla, and normie as Nerissa, but she managed to redeem herself. She always showed signs of being completely unhinged with based tastes from being /here/, but I never could have expected her to completely throw off her chains and reveal her powerlevels in her first stream. I worry she will end up completely neutered by management in the near future, similar to what happens to every similar menhera (Riifu, Sava, etc). Enjoy it while it lasts bros...and let's pray that Jap and co let Shiori stay her based self.
My rrat is that she was forced into going "le quirky girl" but mostly vanilla by Cover for her debut, saw herself getting absolutely demolished by haters /here/ who called her a waste of a slot, and ultimately said "fuck it, time to reveal my menhera".
Think about it, first half of today's stream showed off her autism levels, which was certainly endearing to a small portion of fanbase while being horribly boring for most. Imagine if the "autistic jumping from topic to topic" was a ruse, and she knew exactly what she was doing: saving her numbers by not-very-subtly dogwhistling to her more degenerate and autistic interests, which will have the biggest gachikois. Pandering to fetishes, appealing to GFE, demonstrating willingness to do ecchi content such as shower ASMR, and even appealing to saviorfags from her harsh childhood.
She has definitely established herself as the most genre savvy of her gen, and she's shown such a u-turn on pandering to her fanbase rather than pretending to be normal. At this stage, I'm convinced /vt/ can groom her into going full degeneracy on an unprecedented level, especially considering her tastes actually reach into /d/ and /meat/ territory, compared to the regular vanilla hentai that is Marine and co. Considering her willingness to change herself and appeal to her audience, she can definitely pull an Akane Kurokawa in terms of autistic dedication and end up becoming the most based autist in Hololive and develop a fanbase of rabid paypigs who will propel her to the top of the industry.
