So, it appears that sooner rather than later, there will be the debut of a new vtuber Hololive branch that will be composed of Westerners, speaking English for a Western audience (holoEN).

I've been thinking on-and-off, how we will handle these. While I've got my own ideas, as it's a bit of a unique situation I'm curious to hear thoughts from /jp/ meidos on it rather than just assuming they'll just be rolled up into the current threads. They don't necessarily have to be. Consider the following:

a.) Given how East/West collaborations have historically been considered more Western than Eastern in nature on 4chan, and that these new holos will possibly be catering more to a much more Western/Twitch-based audience and so on, are they even a proper fit for /jp/? If not, then where should they go?

b.) If they're not barred altogether, then should they have their own separate thread from Japanese-speaking hololive? As it stands, currently the couple non-JP ones are wrapped up in the main Holo thread, but that's in part due to their not really being a big deal, whereas I'm not certain if English/Western hololives may blow up as their own thing or not. So far everything that hasn't been the main JP holos has had either tepid reception or been an outright dud, but we cannot be too certain that holoEN won't balloon.

If anything, we actually may have a part to play in enabling its success or not by rolling it in with the main Holo pantheon or not - to be perfectly blunt I don't think the notion of a scene/threads full of Twitch kids fits /jp/'s mission whatsoever. Thoughts?
