I know this is a joke but...I for one am elated the glorious era of Erolive is being revived in the west. We do know that the swerve towards idol content forced the more coomer friendly Holo JP tubers to abandon or at least tone down their content, and there are others who happily do it as their roommates but can't in Holo.
Maybe, if VAllure is successful, Cover realises that it doesn't have to pander to the west's prudish sensibilities, and the likes of Matsuri, Haachama, Aki, Choco, Okayu, Noel, Marine and Polka can finally release their full power.
By making Japanese content erotic again, Hololive can even expand its recruitment pool! There's that chick... Oimori, who was impregnated by her husband on stream. Or Tomeru Ikinone, who streamed JAV videos over Splatoon. Prime Erolive recruitment material.
And maybe, just maybe, the success of Erolive can even convince people like Suisei or AZKi to spice up their content.
Thank you, Riifu, for bringing back the golden age of 2018/19 vtubing. For bringing back the purity of Japanese vtubing content, before westerners got a hold of it.
Erolive works and has always worked because of the gap moe, when your idols are yabai it's surprising and funny because THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, westoids saw that and essentially just got the "Do degenerate shit" part and nothing else, yabai for the sake of yabai is much MUCH less interesting imo.
This is the same shit as with Coco being restrained vs Kson no restraints, when you have nothing to contrast against, the only way to stand out is to be more and more degen than before.
