Since we are still in the topic for Stars, I've always been wondering, how would Hololive have turned out if Holostars had never been a thing? Imagine in an alternate universe, Cover never thought of starting a male branch, and 100% focus all their effort on the girls.
- More funding and support for the girls on average?
- Faster debuts? Maybe we would have already gotten EN3.
- More unity within the fanbase? The toxic unicorns will still be there but won't have the chance to be exposed as one.
One potential downside (or upside depending on how you feel about certain girls) I can think of is that some of the girls are fans of the Stars, like Bae for Roberu, and I think Kobo for Izuru? If Stars doesn't exist, maybe they won't jump into the rabbit hole, maybe they won't be interest on applying. We might end up getting a different Bae and Kobo.
