>>80358634>male vtubers in westNone of them had a western audience, and none of them streamed in the western timeslot. Except for Luca, who wanted to creep on the girls in that timeslot. Their audience was always japanese/chinese/sea and that has been unambiguous since the beginning. Most of their viewers didn't even speak English and were spamming their chat with foreign languages. They just wanted to see homosexual roleplay, because EN had little standards and were willing to go explicitly sexual.
>couldn’t get better talentsOh they could, they just didn't know what the fuck they were doing and kept making shit hiring choices, because the people making these choices werent English speakers.
-- For example, one heuristic you can use to choose a talent if you don't speak English and can't judge their charisma, just judge them by numbers. Tons of shit hires were made because "le big PL number", including Aia.
-- Another bad tendency was to highly preference people who spoke other languages. That's how guys like Ver got chosen, because he spoke Korean, a language they didn't have yet. So hire the guy with no testosterone who was an obvious shitter. Great idea. This also turned the branch into something like a "tower of babel" where the hires didn't have any common culture, and were trying to communicate through different thick ESL accents and could barely relate to each other. The Japanese branch never had that problem, since they all come from the exact same culture.
>VSPO just needs to have this kind of support system in between branchesPutting people in charge of the EN branch who "actually speak english" is a good start. Already they made huge mistakes. Hiring an ESL in their first gen, that's not good. Also the "cute girl" thing is mostly something popular in Japan, not really the west. Not to mention, all their names are Japanese for some reason. Why not choose English names instead?
