Hololive English
It has been devastating seeing this once fun branch slowly turn into Japanese-pandering shills, all streaming at ungodly late hours and then still somehow pretending to be mainly for English-speaking fans. It was more than blatant with Fuwamoco, it became even worse when the realization set in that Cover more than likely does that passive-aggressive Japanese shit where they STRONGLY suggest EN members to move to Tokyo so they can get rewarded for it. Good for them, they get more opportunities the more they play ball with the JP pandering like Bae getting a lot of music creating opportunities despite never being known as a music-focused holo and she got it way before the others that were and ARE considered music focused or singers in HoloEN. Again, good for the ones that do that, but it just feels so forced and soulless. Biboo streaming for like 9+ hours every time and bleeding into JP hours while the regular viewers are stuck with non holos as their choice for EN vtubers is kinda crazy to me, and how normalized it is. Bae has a collab karaoke in the 3D booth with others today and it starts at 11pm, like what the fuck, man.
This branch used to be so fun and now it feels it exists only for Japanese viewers that are practicing English or understand English, not for native English speakers. Everything they do now is for JP. It hurts even more to see how no one cares, especially not Cover. After the graduations they flipped a switch and turned EN into whatever the fuck it's supposed to be now. I'm just fucking sad about all of it.
