>>75287574I think Cover just recognizes the value of unique perspectives, experiences and attitudes. If they recruited people blindly based on charisma, they probably have more than enough applicants who showcase good charisma.
But uniqueness...?
People come back to Miko because she can't coherently speak and functions like a retarded baby.
People watch Kobo because she is surprisingly similar to an actual child.
People watch Pekora because she is funny despite being a woman.
People watch Korone because there's simply no one else quite like Korone, with her unique blend of loving retro games, gore and torture techniques, Christmas music, Okayu and somehow simultaneously being the best and worst player of any given video game she tries.
People watch Marine because I dare say that she is the most unabashedly horny woman on earth, and a good conversationalist to boot.
At the end of the day people are not going to stick around just for charisma alone or just because someone's good at video games. People are going to stick around because you're offering something they can't get anywhere else.
