StarsEN just need to stay in that lane of being like AAA minor league stars in the indies and ignoring Hololive. It's been working out pretty well for them.
My two cents really makes me feel like it is kinda stupid that the general culture had to form like it did to the point where literal co-workers even have to have a lane even when they're both streamers working for the same company
I dont think anyone should need to be forced to collab with men or collab with women, or that they need to have a quota, but i cant help but think that certain bits like FWMC being dead silent the moment they popped up is really fucking dumb, Kiara of all people which always got the meme of hating men (which is not true) handled shit like that with little issues
She had never interacted with men either JP or EN, Vesper did it on a whim and did it because he literally didnt give a fuck almost a tiny bit like Jurard here
and Kiara's reaction was to politely thank him for the raid, and yap about what she was doing to people who probably liked it, FWMC being kinda silent is just kinda meh in that
Again, i know im dogging too much on the twins, i like em, and they're probably just inexperienced and/or saw the potential autism they'd have to deal with, cant blame them for choosing something that they thought wouldnt draw attention, but it just kinda sucks that it built up to be like that
