>>77180293>they actively get in the wayOf what exactly?
>Not only in the form of collabs or interactionThe last actual collab I can think of between an EN girl and StarsEN guy was the Barbie watchalong that Bettel, Bae, and Shinri did. Even before that the only recent one was the Mr. Schadenfreude cover Axel released on Halloween.
>they take resources awayIf you're talking money, then citation needed that they're taking away any significant money from the girls. It seems like, outside of a flat budget that all talents get, the guys seem to do group projects off their own branch earnings. If you're talking studio time, then the JP girls take far and away more resources there than the guys every could (like 40JP girls - 9 ID girls - 15EN girls vs. 13JP guys - 10EN guys). Of course the JP girls make the most money/get the most opportunities, so they use up the most time/resources. So I doubt the guys even come close to being a drain on anything there.
