I'm agreeing that trying to garner a "based"/right-wing/whatever audience would have likely not worked, but I have seen time and time again apologies not being accepted by opposite side, and instead just intensify them going after whoever apologized. I've only seen those that are sexually attractive to left/"woke"/whatever women get away with apologizing, with that still being uncommon, which Twisty certainly doesn't seem like at all.
I can see possibly not losing friends behind the scenes, but nothing more than that. Admittedly the people she angered by apologizing were never her audience, and most of the people she angered with the contents of her leaked call were also unlikely to be part of her audience. More people are talking about this situation than ever actually watched her in both directions.
This is my take on it. Yes, a "based" audience will be fickle and not worth chasing if you aren't willing to keep up the act full-time, but this disingenuous apology is also going to do nothing to appease the other side, so what was the point?
"Disingenuous?" Yes, after some thought, I think this apology is totally fake and she actually dislikes the 2SLGBTQIIAP+ community and fine upstanding Indian American men such as myself. Let's do a bit of algebra.
Not-Twisty, as a member of Nijisanji, the second-most prominent agency in the EN space by most measurements, made racist and queerphobic comments on a call with Literally Who Male Indie #3,834 and Literally Who Female Indie #638,829 (no offense to them or their fans but my point is they are not on the same level of prominence, renown, connection, etc. as even a newer and smaller Niji like Twisty). She then made an apology stating that those comments do not reflect her actual feelings.
If her statements on that call were genuine, then the statements in her apology were not genuine and were made to attempt to save what's left of her career. Logical, at least superficially.
If her statements in the apology were genuine, then the statements on that call were not genuine and she said them… in an attempt to fit in or gain favor with two Literally Who indies? Why would she feel the need to do that? No, I don't buy it. I think what was on the call were, and are, her genuine feelings.
But that aside, if she hadn't had made the apology, rightoid schizos would think she was "based" and pay attention to her a little while, eventually getting bored when they find out she stops short of calling for Total Hindu Death or whatever. So what? Maybe some will stick around anyway, and you might be able to make a little money off the rest while they're still around. Be Shrodinger's Based Vtuber. Pippa more or less built her career on that, at least initially.
So I still think, even if it were genuine, making the apology was the wrong step here. I don't know, maybe I'd have a different perspective if I were in her situation. But I have no idea how I'd end up getting myself in her situation in the first place.
I was referring to Nolan if that wasn't clear.
Nolan, who couldn't hold a job for tards that he only got in the first place through nepotism, is trying to give someone else advice on how to earn money. Also, she was talking about streaming for Nijisanji, who pay very little, and currently aren't letting her stream anyway.
He's not right, and neither are you.
I believe according to our best guess of the timeline here this call took place before she was suspended and could still stream as much as she wanted. "Very little' is still more than "zero" and you don't grow by avoiding streaming.
