I’m surprised how fast all of you turned compared to the debuts. I get she was nervous and all but damn this is a hell of a 180.
Even after that stream I’m not really feeling Shiori. Am I broken bros? Do I not recognize good content anymore?
I'm pretty sure I was the first one here to warm up to Shiori, as I said before, during the collab she sounded much more the part when the nerves have settled down. Just glad people here aren't close minded - IMO, she still has the best 1st week schedule of the bunch and so deserves at least a second look.
(Still, I find it funny that Shiorin was all nerves during her debut when she has like 5x the streaming experience of Bijou, who was as calm as a rock)
And really, vtubing (or even streaming as a whole) is an acquired taste. I don't blame people still not liking Shiori - I mean, after all these years I can't listen to Kiara, Mori, or Fauna, even though Fauna's content is up to my tastes. If she's not vibing, no need to force yourself to like her.
If there's one thing Shiori needs to do, it's either to commit or not to the idea that collabs with males are a go. For example, Bae always said that her oshi is the Winning Son, and her backlash with the fans were practically non-existent when she finally did. Contrast with Kronii, where when she collabed with Tempus her fans was having a nuclear meltdown, the likes in which I hadn't seen since Amegeddon. And considering Shiori is much more clearly leaning into the GFE experience than any of the girls before her (ex. that bit about not knowing guys didn't wear 2 sets of underwear), she has to 'desensitize' her audience before it becomes a problem, if she ever wants to collab with her old clique again (which AFAIK are mostly male).
