So about 2 hr 45 minute into her fishing stream Shiina discussed some stuff about her own parasocialism and that led to discussing the "limited interaction" drama going on.
She didn't say much about it for not wanting to cause problems for Tenma or anyone else but clarified it wouldn't be an issue for her or her community - which is great since her interactions with her community do seem a lot, um, healthier than some of the other PC girls... But holy shit yeah she just confirmed what we already knew, fishman and PC management are putting new and different rules that dictate how much the talent can interact with community and in what ways.
Fishman you idiot do you not realize that their interaction is why PC enjoys such a loyal fan base? Phase probably has
the most loyal fanbase I've seen. Holo has armies of simps but I feel like that meta community goes from one to another favorite and Hololive is a large company so their parasocial feels are spread over a larger target.
Phase Connect might not have as many whales throwing red supas every minute or so but they have a very loyal audience of people who tend to pick one or two of the streamers as favorites yet support all the rest as a group. Longevity of any company requires loyal fans.
And it's really weird that Tenma seems to have been one of them targeted. The only explanation I can think of is that it was some dumbass attempt at a persuasion/coercion move by fish to show her who's boss after the drama with Pippa and people speculating that if Pippa was driven out Tenma would leave.
I hope fishman learns to stop fucking with the sad girls. Pippa and Tenma especially have seemingly each found their own innovative ways to grow, Pippa keeps drawing in more and more people from various communities while Tenma has been gaining more appeal on channels like Nagzz, and they both have extremely loyal spergs who turn up in numbers for them. Leave them alone and let them grow!
