I enjoy these situations a lot because you get to see plenty of people cry about implementing more male x female collabs in response to owning "unicorns." Meanwhile, many of the support comes from people who barely, if any, consume the product, and make up for a very small percentage of Hololive's total userbase. In Shiori's case, for example, her main audience is the male demographic, attracted by the product of Hololive's "idol" experience that is heavily tailored after Japan's idol culture itself. The idol culture itself is built on top of providing an experience that the women are obtainable, encouraging their fans/audience to buy their merch and watch their shows as their main source of revenue. Shiori's main audience is the male audience, and those who support anti-"unicorn" male collabs are definitely not the male audience the idol culture's moneymaking system is built upon. The supporters, if you look through their profiles, have those weird colored flags and have no interest or awareness on vtuber culture. They are not your fans in arms, the ones who don't like "unicorns" just want to make a movement about something without your oshi's best interests. They don't care about your oshi, they care about breaking down the unicorn idol culture because they view it as a threat to their own bubble. None of their arguments explain WHY the girls should collab with the homos, they only say it's good because fuck unicorns and idol culture.
If the girls want to collab with homos at their behest, let them. They know the risks. They know they'll be betraying the idol culture tactic their company is built off of. However, don't let the faggots screaming "fuck unicorns" have any voice. They don't care about your oshis. They don't care about the product. They only care about making you miserable.
There's nothing wrong with being a unicorn. You're being milked willingly by the girls you support wholeheartedly with your time and hard-earned money.
