Certainly not the week after, which it is for Irys. Also, I don't know what this "hazing" is you think EN is doing, or even what the hell you mean by "communicate with them" (as if you could read their discord or private conversations, let alone have the JP version of their communications to compare too). You're delusional, the rrats are breeding in your head, they've created entire (multi-)generations of narratives at this point. Take a step back and think about what you're saying. Irys is literally just streaming, and other people are literally just streaming. They're vtubers, it's primetime, that's what they do.
