>>80231737>>80231997>>80232128These sorts of posts do Gura a disservice because they imply that it was ENTIRELY the outside factors that made it happen, like this idiot
>>80224700The implication is that if any mid lolituber of today had been given Gura's model and debuted in Myth during COVID they would have achieved the same success, and that's just an outright delusion. Yes, she had all these buffs setting her up for success, but to actually execute on them and deliver that success still took the right person. It was a combination of the place and the time, but also of the FACT THAT SHE IS GURA.
This is obvious because she has a combination of factors no other talent has even now. One of the strongest being her paradoxical multi-faceted personality. She's an old-soul boomer zoomer girly-girl tomboy internet-savvy tradwife-coded e-loli meme queen learning-disabled comedic genius seiso idol semen-demon mesugaki introvert-extrovert with a godlike unique child voice and charmingly amateur unrefined singing technique but insane natural talent. Half of these things are literally exact opposites to the other half. Finding any given pair in a person is rare. Finding all of these opposed pairs in the same person at once is an exponentially increasing rarity to the point that she becomes a 0.00001% sort of combination, and allows her to simultaneously appeal to people on opposite sides of different demographic divides while also creating a total product that is far more than the sum of its parts.
Not everyone sees all of these different sides of Gura unless they watched all of her streams going back to the early 2020 days, most of her viewers are casual viewers whose perspective of gura is just a sliver based on meme clips, but that also makes her constantly surprise people who tune in and discover a different side to her they hadn't seen before. You see it all the time in the live threads too, when people who think Gura is dumb because of all the clips of her struggling with basic math and stuff catch one of her moments where she does something really witty and clever and they go "wait... is gura secretly a genius?"
There are a lot of other girls out there who can entertain very well in one, or two, or three capacities, and several of them that can do their specialized thing a lot better than Gura, but nobody who has the whole package. She is the jack of all trades and master of one, the loli voice, which is without a doubt the best in the business. It's not just that they can't replicate Gura because the conditions that aligned in 2020 will never happen exactly the same way again, it's that there's also not another Gura to be found who can do everything she can.
