the following are purely my opinions on the matter, but as someone who has been in the rabbit hole for quite some times (since Coco's era) and now primarily watching the holostars bois, I can think of a few "reasons" why a sizable portion of hololive fans seems so hostile against them: - by association, just by being under the same brand i.e. Hololive Production, the bois are autimacially seen (by viewers) as the "closest" to the girls, and with how the hololive girls appear so lovey-dovey and affectionate to each other, they could stomach the thought that maybe the girls would be the same toward the holostars (???). - some others only care about "cute girls doing cute things" content from hololive thus anything else (like mixed gender collab) in their opinion, would be irrelavant or a waste of time for both the talents and viewers. You can see in the video with Irys and two of the superchats at 11:45, one cleary stated that they didn't like holostars to begin with, the other was "concerned" that Irys' content would "take a different direction" and that she should "take fans' feeling into account". I believe this came from a stream Irys did shortly before the Overwatch 2 match hololive vs holostars. And to be completely honest, I still don't get the "fans' feeling" that the orange supa was referring to, other than that the fans wanted nothing other than "cute girls doing cute things" stuff. "idol culture" or not, plenty of hololive girls have collabed with a male guests before, even Pekora recently got Hikakin (one of the biggest and most well known Japanese youtuber) on her stream, it was just that Hikakin was too big of a figure to ignore, and was seen as an accomplisment by Pekora. I think for the longest time, Cover (and Hololive Production) actually had no idea how to handle Holostars. They wanted to stick with the idol gimmick, but the none of the bois really pushed for the parasocial BFE (boyfriend experience) like Vox does, I guess the immense initial negative reception made it kinda hard to entertain the idea. So the bois just kinda got left to do their own thing. I will say tho, if I was an aspiring male vtuber, I'd hope to join holostars, not because I want to be close to the girls (no seriously), but because I love the brotherhood culture that the bois have built over the years. Not to mention, there seem to be solid managment at the moment.

The holostars bois are great. Also with the debut of Armis and the general decline of Luxiem other than subs count every other metric is pretty similar. I could see Stars surpassing them if Niji management doesn't get off there asses. Luxiem 3D would be a good start. Also Great video

I’ll have to check out armis :) only thing I heard about them before debut was some people commenting about tweets they made pre-debut. Luxiem 3D would be dope and surprise Luca Overdose cover :D Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment as well :) ❤️

I dont get this idol culture delusional shit. We have idol too here, AKB48 make sister group here, Kpop is huge, but none of that whiteknight virgin keeping is ever make sense to me. And you can see how ID reflect that same logic, they all in to collab with HoloStars.
