/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

someone wrote a blog post in the cover note

>DeepL:
>First of all, I am very grateful that you have provided us with this opportunity to frankly and honestly voice our opinions, even if only as a result.
>One of the main pleasures of VTubers, especially those with a strong idol flavor such as Hololive, is the pseudo communication with their "guesses", As a result, there is a common understanding that we cannot write negative opinions on Twitter or YouTube.
>As a result, we are only allowed to express positive opinions or, at best, to remain silent.
>I am glad to see that many opinions that are usually silenced are being conveyed directly to the management, even if only in this way.
>There are many things I would like to say about the Horizontals and other recent foolishness, but I will leave that for another time and write about the Holostars here.
>Many idol contents that were originally developed only for female or male idols have later been developed with idol contents of a different gender, and this has been a path that many idol contents have taken before, and has been criticized by many people.
>The "THE iDOLM@STER" series and the "UtaPuri" series are still fresh in our memories.
>There is nothing wrong with developing an IP called "HOLOSTARS" as part of the business development of COVER (regardless of its success or failure). What is being criticized is "the act of trying to half-way forcibly to develop content with the exact opposite characteristics of the content that was originally developed and had gained a certain level of popularity.
>As mentioned above, unlike existing idol contents, V-idol contents have been closed to negative opinions, but if you compare the number of views and the number of real-time viewers, you can see that there are many fans who do not like the "twisted development" as in the case of idol contents. I think it is clear that there are more than a few fans who do not like the "screwing around" as in the past idol contents.
>If I remember correctly, I think that when HOLO STARS was first launched, there was still some consideration for this, but at some point it completely changed course and HOLOLO LIVE began to run in the opposite direction of what fans wanted.
>It seems as if they have no understanding of the brand image and appeal of HOLOLOLIVE, which was fortunately built up by chance, and are now trying to destroy it with their own hands.
>I sincerely hope that you will understand that there are also the cries of the fans that have been contained, and that you will not dismiss my words by saying that if you have any complaints, just leave without saying anything or don't watch the show.
