>>68829447That's 100% the problem and I despise it about Hololive in general. They gave a full-blown hooker model to someone like Kronii who completely set all of her fans off on the wrong foot by growing trust with her fans, building a parasocial relationship and then doing back to back Tempus collabs.
How anyone can blame people for growing parasocial and thirsty with a sex model like Kronii's, especially when she acts the way that she did, is fucking insane to me.
Tempus fans wouldn't get it either, which stirred up shit even more - they legit couldn't understand why someone who financially backs their oshi with 100+ dollars a month would be pissed off that his oshi is giving attention to a bunch of dudes who use company privilege to get in touch with her when he's the one who ACTUALLY should matter and receive attention for keeping her financially afloat and supporting her.
And yes, I'd absolutely argue that your fans are more important than your homo flings and that when you're not disclosing right on debut that you plan to do homo collabs you shouldn't at any point do them as it's a breach of trust and a breach of your fans' expectations in you as an idol. It's why even though I don't like Ollie and think she's obnoxious with her bisexual rage, at least she has never fooled anyone about what she wants to do and I can tolerate that. I have more respect for Ollie today who openly collabs with dudes than Kronii who thought it's wise to double down on 'owning the unicorns'.
