Forget love, you don't even know English.
>romantic
A unicorn is crushing on a character, not in love with a person. You don't have any potential for fulfilled romantic love if your feelings are not reciprocated and your feelings are based on make pretend if all you know is the facade they show to tens or even thousands of people at the same time.
It's why you don't marry a workmate just because you worked together for 5 years. You simply don't know a person enough just by getting to know their professional side. So you ask them out first and see if your feelings are reciprocated. Everything else is love of a person you made up; vain bullshit that's just leading to at least one out of two people to suffer if mistaken for the real deal.

/vt/'s stance on unicorns or Gachikoi has always been misguided, and kind of retarded. The defense of unicorns as a necessary evil, because they're the biggest financial supporters is true - if the industry is exclusively unicorn oriented. One look at successful streamers like everything from xqc to Lilypichu, and you can see thriving communities that don't rely on unicorns. The truth is, to make a living as an online content creator, unicorns aren't necessary at all. And even vtubers that don't cultivate unicorns, large indies like Vshojo and GirlDM and whatnot, they can get along just fine.

Now, Hololive, being the dominant corpo, has always modeled itself after the idol industry, which has always pandered to unicorns as their business model. This is somewhat archaic marketing that goes back to the 80s but it still finds great success because of how naturally it fits into Japanese business processes, and the fact that despite everything, the niche still exists. And for a lot of Unicorns, they're eating good. But the existence of Non-unicorn companies threatens that fact. Unicorns have always been a tiny fraction of the market that normies comprise, and even if they donate a thousand times more they often can't make up the sheer difference in numbers. Furthermore, lots of normies are willing to donate too - don't underestimate the ironic weeb's willingness to throw his money away at meaningless shit. So the Unicorn's one main driving force, financial incentive, is growing weaker, and they feel threatened. Especially by the existence of things like NijiEN, which kind of bridge the gap between indies and Holo, creating a "pseudo-kayfabe" space that might mean more freedom and eventually convince hololive to adopt similiar strategies - Holostars EN was no doubt influenced by the success of Vox, after all.

Arguing over whether or not Unicorns are in the "right" or "wrong" is pointless, the flow of the industry itself is more important. They have a right to like the things they like, there are some toxic unicorns (a lot, actually) but that doesn't mean the innate desire for GFE is bad, even if it is kind of pathetic, though I think back in college I might have been the same way. And it's probably all SEAfags anyways. When Unicorns mald and seethe it is impotent rage, they see vtubers drift gradually away from their platonic ideal of the perfect idol fantasy and they get angry about it. But that points more to interesting shifts in the sphere itself than anything about the unicorns themselves.

Interesting take. But, what bothers my mind is you can't separate the idol industry from the Japanese market. That's because the Japanese idol as people know it today is the product of the Japanese civilization itself. I think your take is only applicable in the context of Japan since the idol culture with its unicorns is marginal in the Western market as far as I know. It's even hated since it clashes against the Western view of individualism.

Full unicornism is dumb, the occasional male interaction is innocuous. The issue is that Hololive has a competitive advantage in somehow inventing a K-ON/Lucky Star slice-of-life vibe.

>Following her increase in popularity, it became apparent that much of her online fanbase were following her for ulterior motives; a significant amount of engagement on her content were users' attempts to flirt or describe their physical attraction to her. This garnered Neekolul the nickname "Queen of Simps", in reference to the slang term simp, someone who does way too much for a person they like, often in service of unreciprocated sexual feelings. After Sanchez revealed she has a boyfriend, she lost over 65,000 Twitter followers within 48 hours.

That is the big fear going around. One sees the current situation in NijisanjiEN. That male/female dynamic is absolute poison to the Hololive brand and HoloJP is smart to keep the Holostars separated. Don't fuck with what works.
Hololive is a miracle that exploded and outpaced other agencies through their current strategy by combining idols and anime avatars they solved the big issues of both idol and anime industries.
On the idol side: Anime idols don't age and are perfect creatures. The girls also get to enjoy much more privacy.
On the anime side: Hololive is a slice of life that never ends and you can interact with the characters. Slices of life are renowned for soothing the soul by presenting an idealized world with no messy interactions or drama.
It's an absolutely perfect combination. You'd be a fool to mess with it.

It depends, Japan has a deeply invested idol culture but at the same time even Japanese idol culture itself has been shifting a lot in the past 10 years or so, ask any actual idol fan. Vtuber Unicorns are stuck in like some weird fantasy 2000s idol fantasy where they think every girl should pull a Minami Minegishi, while really like half the shit in Japan does #MeToo nowadays.

Idol culture itself is more about marketing and commercializing an image than it is any particular image. If you can slap female empowerment on a soda bottle and sell it to Zoomers, it's not that different from slapping an image of female purity on a soda bottle and selling it to Otaku and salarymen.

>>28777679
>>28777816
>>28777880
>>28777928
There's two other arguments that Unicorns like to use, one is the historical argument, the
>We were here first
which is just pretty patently untrue. I mean, If you want to go to Kizuna Ai, that was not designed for Unicorns at all, and if we go to Livers with Niji's early ventures, those were also not aimed at Unicorns. Hololive's early ventures also weren't aimed at Unicorns, its just that unicorns latched onto Hololive and they shifted their marketing to pander to them. I've been watching vtubers since the early days and honestly Unicorns are a relatively new phenomenon, caused by the pandemic and the transplanting of a lot of toxic anime nerds onto the vtuber fanbase.

>Small vtubers need unicorns to stay alive
This one is dangerous because its SOMEWHAT true. Small vtubers need dedicated fans to stay alive and to gain traction. Unicorns are dedicated fans. However, not all dedicated fans are unicorns. Vtubers need dedicated fans, they don't need unicorns. Furthermore, it's not a two way street - Unicorns think that because they provide something to vtubers, in the past, and "collectively" - often without paying a cent themselves, but "we, the unicorns, as a group", the vtubers now "owe" them. What are you, the Incel Mafia?

>>28778734
This reminds me of a comment that Nasu made once, about how vtubers represented a new form of virtual, interactive content that was way more immersive than idols and "you can meet anime girls in real life". But the danger to that is you start putting expectations on real people like they're anime characters, and obviously, they can't live up to them. And you put these menhera girls under immense stress. Kayfabe goes both ways and you have to play careful too.

>>28779327
Like I said, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting GFE. And if the Vtuber themselves agree to it, then it's fine. But the thing is it has to be a mutual agreement. Whether its Unicorns, or any other type of fan, they become toxic when they start putting requirements and expectations on the vtuber that the vtuber themselves never signed up for. A good example is, say, Mori and talking to Trash Taste. Now, I fucking hate Mori and I fucking hate Trash Taste, but I'm pretty sure at no point did Mori agree to never speak to Trash Taste. That wasn't part of her contract nor implicitly agreed to anywhere. That's just something that Unicorns made up and harassed her about.

TL;DR Unicorns and Keemstars form two sides of the same coin and their ultimate goal control over entertainers as a whole, but they will ultimately fail to achieve that, even in cases where they did have an influence because they fail to understand that people ultimately have agency to do what they want and they're trying to control forces that they have control over.

Unicorns are mostly a personification, or a scapegoat if you will, that people use as an excuse to support whatever they want to believe, whether they want to continue to keep supporting the purity aspect or they want to think they're saving the people they think are being oppressed by various factors or something to try to explain "bad numbers" or something to just shit on the girls for (you)s.

In other words they say less about unicorns themselves but more about the people talking about them. It's not like they don't exist, but especially these days the stereotypical unicorn that people fear/praise are just your typical shitter that doesn't even pay/watch streams whose oshi is literally /vt/ or the doxxcords.

What is very, very interesting is that I rarely see brought up is the concept of privacy. What the unicorns, /vt/sisters, and the Keemstars have in common is that they are very, very interested in the private lives of idols/entertainers/content creators/etc. Sure the Keemstars (especially forma de feminist types) may proclaim they are all about the privacy of them, but are they really? We all know the tried and true story of the person that was famous for slamming down some racist on the internet... only for the very same people cheering them on to turn their backs on them when they find out something about them unsavory.

What these three groups ultimately desire is control. They desire control to the point where they will make any excuse to think that they're in control, even when the outcome is completely the opposite of what they claimed would happen. And to a certain extent THEY can have an influence. But luckily in most cases they don't have that much control. In rare cases it can happen sadly, like with Coco. And yes, I'm aware Coco's enemies weren't unicorns, but their goal were one and the same. BUT--and I do very mean a huge but--Coco's impact on vtubing has been massive and there's nothing her enemies can do to change it back. What's worse for them is that it was nothing more than a pyrrhic victory. And stick with me here, that isn't going to be the fate of unicorns, but also the /vt/sisters and the Feminist Keemstars who think they are "saving the women" from "patriarchal standards" who fail to realize that the women that got into this entire industry understood from the start.

In the end, they're only a danger when they decide to do something actually unlawful and they know if they try anything they'd be fuck and their days of LARPing will be over. Not that there won't be schizos trying, but they will most likely get killed before they ever get close to succeeding.

>Fans are allowed to boo the stage whenever, not sure why you think a contract should control them.
There's quite a big difference between booing the stage at a show and like, a bunch of targeted harassment. But I digress.

I think this does show something interesting, which is the difference between social contracts. All relationships have some sort of social contract, but usually when we overstep them it ends with cutting off contact, not continued spite and harassment. This sounds like the actions of a personally jilted lover, not an audience member on the internet. It also speaks to the norms of the fanbase, that this sort of thing is seen as acceptable, or maybe just the norms of /vt/, and then socially inept /vt/ users who think its funny to break containment.

Beyond that, what Mori did after that whole situation might shed some light onto what Holo's actual professional contract is, as well. Because whereas someone like Vox, after a similar situation, was able to come right out and condemn the harassment, Mori had to get on her Roommate's channel to vent. Perhaps there is something to be said about "acting the anime girl", after all.

>>28780996
Yes, absolutely. The truth is that while /vt/ does have outsized influence for how big it is, in the end it is ultimately a bit of a outspoken minority.

That said, you have to keep in mind two markets. The market for the audience, and the talent market. These two are kept in balance. Companies have to fight for both audiences and talents and weigh the interests of each against one another. If companies decide to prioritize the audience to the detriment of the talents, especially a certain outspoken subset of the audience that doesn't matter so much in reality (Unicorns), then talent might decide to leave too. That's where the real danger lies for Hololive, and I don't think they're very adept at managing it. It's probably only a matter of time before Mori leaves, and even if you don't like her the hit to morale will be real and if Mori leaves I highly suspect Gura will as well.

Phew, finally someone is smart enough to say whatever the emotions inside my mind lmao. For your take, I see it in several ways:

First, it becomes a "nothing-to-loss" situation for antis to hate VTubers. That's because VTubers don't fall so easily, so they become like punching bags. Yes, you look like a loser when you said Calli will graduate because of the whole cuckbeat mess, only for her to have a kino concert several months later. But, antis won't disappear just because people ridicule them. Then...

>people ultimately have agency to do what they want and they're trying to control forces that they have control over.
If that's the case, you apply the dictator's maxim: "If the man is the problem, then no man means no problem." Either you cyberbully your hated entertainer in Korean style as in Sulli and Goo Hara cases, or you went psycho like Mark David Chapman.

I've ever been in love once and it was the worst time of my life. Before that I didn't know what depression even was. Now I'm inmune to falling in love with anybody or anything but still.... Vtubers that collab with men are Vtubers I won't watch, no strings attached.
I just want to watch anime girls having fun together but when men are part of the mix is not as stimulating. Men bring nothing to the table but pollution.

Honestly, do you fucks actually know anything about a real relationship? You kissless virgins want to know what a long term, committed relationship, what "True love" is like? The closest comparison you'll understand is, it's like being with your mother. There's a lot of nagging and chores and it's not very passionate but it's comfortable and you like being with one another. Except occasionally you get to cash in some good boy points for sex. That's "True Love". Everything else is just your hormones going wild at various stages.

This isn't white knighting, but this is a fundamental difference in the way we view vtubing. Unicorns see it as a straight transaction. I give money, I get GFE. I get love for cash. Others, don't. For them, it's more akin to regular streaming. You watch someone like xqc or Destiny expecting a good time - the money is donations, to express your appreciation, NOT a straight transaction - that's the difference.

The truth is probably somewhere in between, but I certainly don't think that it's a "transactional relationship", as clear cut as you put it. At least, many fans don't see it that way. This is just a convenient framework for Unicorns to justify their possessiveness.

I agree with >>28780484 take that ultimately the talent has control over their freedom. Unfortunately, not all can truly use their freedom to do something. To create meaning for themselves, if you will. Even some of them don't realize they have said power. There are always internal and external factors for that.

I am the anon you responded to. Gachikoi meaning "romantic love" was introduced by you, but the other anon never said that. Semantic bullshittery like "down to the kanji" is on the same level of taking "puppy love" literally. Literal meanings of kanji are marginally relevant to how westeners use the term.
With that out of the way: Loving your oshi doesn't mean you want to cohabitate or provreate with them, even if you throw thousands on them. It can very well be loving what they represent (agape) or feeling like you can contribute to their wellbeing by funding their ability to keep streaming for free. Which can also be based on a crush or idolization of who they really are.
A gachikoi's actions are predicated on the desire to help someone continue on their path - "you make me feel better with what you do so I support you". That's never romantic love, but it can be benevolent and based on love.
A unicorn's actions are predicated on powerplay - "you obey and become who I want you to be so I don't hurt you". That's never love, period. It's just an attempt to garner unwarranted self-importance through intimidation and pain.
Unicorns can be gachikois if they misunderstand what love is.

Trash Taste are a bunch of guys that are basically just reaction vids for ironic weebs. They aren't famous VAs like Sugita or producers like Teddyloid or K's.

Then, what did Mori "Implicitly" agree to do? She didn't "Implicitly" agree to collab with Sugita either, did she? That's very selective with what she "implicitly" agreed to, or not, which really just comes off as a lot of projection of "I like this therefore its okay for Mori to do this. I don't like TT therefore I don't want Mori to do it."

The Holo JP talkshows are "worse" in that they're a bunch of normalfag talkshows that don't really "get" weeb culture. The Vtubers are treated as a curiosity, an oddity, and thus there's not threat so everyone is okay with that. I would argue that by joining Hololive, Mori collabed with a new type of eceleb leech that Holos had previously never done anything like, WITH THE EXCEPTION of maybe Coco with Koefficient, whom I would argue is nowhere near as bad as Trash Taste.

"Where are the Holos to stand up and say something…yak-yak-yak."
Why do I have to fuckin' say something?
This is your fuckin' problem.

They go onto /r Hololive on one of these subreddits and then starts bitching, going like, "I don't understand, how come Holostars don't make as much as Hololive?

"Why is that?"
"That is a conundrum. I have no idea."
Literally, I'm sitting at home screaming at the computer, "'Cause you don't sell any fuckin' tickets!"

You don't give a fuck about them.

This is cultural fetishism. You characterize Japanese culture as some sort of ancient constant rather than what it really is: something malleable and constantly changing like every single other culture. Korea has a somewhat similar culture to Japan, except they actually enforce stuff like hierarchy and collectivism to an even more severe degree. They adopted idol culture from Japan and eventually found a lot of success exporting Kpop to the rest of the world. Do you know what happened to the idol culture in Kpop after they found that success? It diminished. What previously relied on small numbers of super devoted fans exploded in profitability by leveraging the pure scale of a bigger, more casual fanbase instead.

There are no downsides to this. The entertainment companies absolve themselves of culpability by no longer modeling their business on taking advantage of lonely mentally ill people. Their business becomes more resilient and diverse because their income is now spread out over a much larger base. Having a larger audience makes groups more attractive to advertisement sponsorships which may actually make them more money than their music. This diversification of income erases the power of overly demanding minorities in the fanbase, which in turn provides more individual freedom to the artists.

More and more Kpop "idols" openly date despite Korean culture being more conservative than Japanese culture. That is because the culture doesn't matter, whether these individuals can date or not is a matter of money and power. It's not a coincidence that the ones that can date are the ones from the richest and biggest groups. Maybe one mentally ill unicorn decides to donate their life savings (maybe 100k) to you, and in exchange they expect your doting attention and for you to be a pure virgin who dates no one. They expect control over your life. But then Samsung comes along and offers you 10-20 million dollars in exchange for using their phone for a year and showing up in a photoshoot/commercial. That's it. You can wash the blood of these mentally ill people off your hands and make more money with less work and expectations instead.

Hololive will move in this direction. The only way for unicorns to preserve their expectations is for them to actively tear down Hololive themselves. You're fighting the normie supermajority and big corporations, and you're probably (definitely) going to lose. If Hololive craters in popularity, it'll be because of their own lack of innovation and it'll have nothing to do with moving away from an inferior business model involving unicorns.

Let's say you're a Gura unicorn and donate an akasupa every single time she streams. Maybe that's 15k in a year. But then a random gacha game sponsor comes along and pays her 150k for a SINGLE stream. Do you still think you matter? Don't cope and be honest. That gacha game company will pay 150k because of the big normie audience, not the handful of mentally ill unicorns. Do you still matter?

Your godlike dedication is a beacon of sexual inactivity.

But good work.
