>>79545150Having a holoEN girl be so blatantly and excitedly pro-Holostars EN specifically is downright magical. From the moment I realized that it was indeed a drawing of Flayon on her debut stream, I was shocked at the ovaries on this woman. From there it's only gotten better. Frequent interactions and bants with everyone on Twitter, the cover of Unlucky, fuck. ERB is amazing for this!!
But damn is it bittersweet. IMAGINE if more of the EN girls could've done this before. To be clear, I'm not blaming the girls, I know several are introverted and prefer to stick to their own spaces, BUT you can't convince me that fear of unicorn retaliation didn't play a big factor. I'm not talking about the girls and guys collabs or covers, I'm talking regular Twitter interactions. Jurard still gets shit from that crowd (huge respect to Gerald for fielding this since day 1).
Seriously, even on stream, it sometimes feels like the Stars EN and the girls are lowkey afraid to acknowledge each other. Huge respect to Calli and Kronii for BATTLING the unicorns for the entirety of HoloSALT (I miss it everyday) and I'm kind of sad that that kind of cross gender branch vibing in collabs seems to have been a one-time thing (yes I KNOW Bae and Bettel collabed for Barbie, it's not really the same vibe, y'know?). Huge respect to the ID girls, especially Ollie, for being really supportive with the regular bants.
I just really like seeing at least one of the EN girls openly banting like this and supporting *everyone* this hard from day 1. Funny Clown Man is still my Kami Oshi but damn Lizzy is gunning for top 5 from the sheer amount of respect I've gained for her in less than a month.
To reiterate, I am not blaming any of the EN girls for choosing to not interact with the EN Stars! That's their decision and I fully respect it! I'm just lamenting the state of the fandom because it feels like there's additional pressure from the fans to not acknowledge the Stars at all (EXCEPT for JP Stars for some reason).
