Some people in the company are still gonna push them no matter what, both in JP and EN management. It's why that whole overwatch collab shit is also happening and why the girls that aren't known for collabing with these dudes had to give a fucking scripted response emphasizing they couldn't be together in VC and that they were just on opposing teams. They'll use sponsorship streams as an excuse to make them collab, it's super fucking obvious. Expect it to happen more now that two EN homos graduated so they need to save face for the branch by plastering them everywhere, or so they think.
I used to support starsJP but honestly Cover's insistence on pushing the all of the homos just left me fatigued. I'm tired of them, I don't wanna see them anywhere anymore. I want them to fuck off and do their own thing and leave everyone else the fuck alone, sponsored stream or no.
