>>70386547>anyone that isn't a newfag or retard can see that she's a combination of luck, JP's popularity, algorithm, COVID, design and a good charismaBro it's only newfags and retards that try to make these sorts of arguments. Everyone who was around for Myth debut remembers that Gura's PL already had more subs than any holo and the entire live thread before the shark even opened her mouth was full of people going IS IT HER? IS IT HER?
She had her voice-over being used on tiktok memes that made the national fucking news in America, she sang for Belle Delphines music video that has 50 million views, she was already a formative shaping force of modern internet culture before Myth was even announced.
The cope about her design is also only repeated by Niji tards who don't realize hololive does things differently, the girls are not just assigned a character to voice the way niji does it, they have a hand in their own designs. Gawr Gura is iconic partly because Gura has good fucking taste, which she also proved directly when she designed her tabletop RPG character Scout who everyone fucking loved. The design also only even works because Gura's voice fits it so well - the internet is choked with shitty loli vtubers who cannot pull it off.
As for the algorithm, that worked for her because she knows how to use it. It's the same fucking youtube algorithm for everyone. That's another cope.
No one could have ever replicated what Gura did. None of the other western EN vtubers you think could have filled her shoes would even exist today if it wasn't for Gura. The industry was born in the west the moment she opened her mouth to sing Ride On Time.
The other myth girls contributed in important ways too, I dont want to downplay their involvement, but everyone who isn't a newfag or a retard knows Gura was the star of the show since the very beginning.
