I guess it's just weird seeing girls like Pekora and Miko - who are complete spergs irl - put out highly entertaining content almost every other day... and then you come back to EN and their biggest chuuba is perma afk and their second biggest just focusses on her music and puts no effort into improving the stream experience...
Sora has been continuously streaming with very few breaks since 2017. That's like 6 fucking years. And she also does albums, recordings and a bunch of music related shit behind the scenes.
There's a reason no one shitposts against daisenpai, despite her being a "homo collaber" as some tards here would put it.
None of that shit matters when it comes to the #1 thing in this industry - love for your fans.
Sora LOVES her Soratomo and that comes through in pretty much EVERYTHING she does.
Koyori loves her Joshukun, and she streams for them almost every other day. She GRINDED her way into a position in the 2nd army.
Pekora adores her nousagi, and hates it when people shit on them. She also cherishes all the gifts she got from her fans (before the gifting ban).
Migo loves her 35p, even the 45p.
Onigiriya get treated to the ultimate GFE in Okayu mengen.
Korone abuses the fuck out of Koronesuki, but her fans know it's just her way of showing love.
It's not like the EN girls HATE their fanbase or anything.. but the amount of time/effort that they put into their content absolutely PALES in comparison to the majority of JP members.
Kaela jerry-rigged a PC/Laptop setup in Japan JUST so that she could stream to her fans during her 3D recording visit. Which EN girl would ever bother to go to such lengths?
And obviously the fanbase understands that it's probably not practical to do such things, or waste so much money just to be able stream for a week or two.. I doubt that Pemaloe would've minded Kaela taking a couple of weeks break for this recording - they have plenty of VODs to watch already.
But she didn't, because she wanted to spend time with her fans after recordings and talk about stuff or just chill and play games.
The only EN girls that are MAYBE like that, are Fuwamoco. Old Gura used to be like this too.. but nowadays it's pretty obvious that she's gotten tired of her fanbase and fame (maybe Bijou too).
The CGDCT group are "fine". Like, they put in what the job and the fans demand enough that they will continue having dedicated people support them.
But none of them go "beyond" that y'know.. you never really get that feeling of "damn, this girl REALLY loves us" sort of feelings with the first 2 EN gens.
You never get that feeling of GLORY that you get watching Marine and her friends replicate the entirety of the 80's Showa musical atmosphere with fucking VTUBERS.
You never get that rush of seeing Pekora building up a story arc, or setting up a tournament.
You never experience the sheer side splitting comedy of Migo or Korone laughing at the most absurd shit you can think of.
You never experience the pure JOY of seeing your oshi try their fucking hardest for (YOU)!
Maybe this is just pessimistic, maybe it's just a cultural thing of prioritizing yourself first and THEN others that sets things up like this.. but I just feel like it SHOULDN'T be you know? EN VTubers CAN and SHOULD be able to reach those levels.. I daresay they could even SURPASS some of them.. but I just haven't seen that same DRIVE from the girls that are supposed to be the DRIVERS of the branch..
I can only hope that Advent will prove me wrong in time...
