>>71136419This is going to sound like a bullshit answer, but apart from the basic stuff such as singing/dancing/working hard, I would consider 'idol' to be more of a personal view. There's the point in the pic -
>inspires fanbasebut the real question is, does the talent inspire you? If so and they sing, dance, work hard, and entertain, they're an idol. If they don't inspire you, they're not an idol.
As far as male collaboration goes, I would argue that it's often more so not dating guys rather than not having at male collaboration. Take the group Under17. I would consider Haruko Momoi as an idol even though the guitarist Masaya Koike was a guy. She is multi-talented, hard working, and an entertainer that I would consider inspirational.
Going to hololive, I think the only ones that really inspire me personally are Fuwamoco and Suisei. Don't get me wrong - I don't have anyone in hololive I dislike, but I see them as entertainers, streamers, or just musicians. I don't really feel inspired them. Your answer may vary, and that's ok. Idolize who you want.
