The platonic ideals of what a Hologirl should be
>b-but they’re not Holo-
WRONG! According to the greek philosopher Plato, ideas are defined by shared, universally understood concepts that the ideal versions of those ideas adhere to. Just because a girl isn’t IN Hololive, doesn’t mean they’re not a Hologirl. Hololive is more than just a brand; it’s an idea, a concept. Let’s look at the platonic concepts of what a Hologirl *should* be:
>female (biologically)
>have a primarily-male audience
>apprehensive of male collabs, will do all in their power to avoid them
>sees Vtubing as escapism just like the viewer, does not bring gender- or socio-politics up onstream, and discourages it from their chat
Yes, not all Hololive girls follow these standards, but again, a platonic concept is an average of what society sees as being something, in this case a Hologirl. After all, just because one duck gets its bill injured in a fight doesn’t mean the platonic ideal of a duck no longer has a bill. As you can see, Vivi and Twisty hit all of the listed marks, and thus, they are the platonic ideals of what a Hologirl should be.
>inb4 but they male collab
I didn’t say “no male collabs ever”, I said “will do all in their power to avoid them”. If the collab is corpo-mandated, then that isn’t their fault, and it has no effect on their platonic status.

TL;DR: like it or not, Vivi and Twisty are platonically Hololive girls. So if you hate them, anti them, or attack them, then you hate Hololive. It’s just that simple.

>> No.77268802

>>77267948
Let me break down OP's argument in finer detail with some (non-chuuba) examples:
>If Shaq does a Activision-Blizz ad and you hate on it, then you clearly hate Basketball
>If Mark Cuban starts a NFT grift and you hate on it, then you clearly hate Capitalism
In case you aren't aware, OP, the brand you attach yourself to IS a valid point for criticism. And honestly, what is this "ideal hologirl" nonsense? Hololive girls are completely different from each other, same as any other streamer. That sort of generalization is as dumb as pretending that brand and company doesn't matter.

>> No.77268918

>>77268802
Anon, follow the platonic concepts. Yes, not all Hologirls are the same, but when they are all averaged out, they are primarily girl streamers aiming for guy viewers that avoid male collabs and politics. This vague generalization is known as a platonic ideal, which Vivi and Twisty fit perfectly. If it walks like a Holo, and talks like a Holo…

This argument is becoming more and more commonplace on /vt/ these days and I hate it.
Being in a good corpo doesnt automatically make you a good vtuber, just like how having "niji" attatched to your name doesnt automatically make you an evil whore like millie or eliera.

What chuubas you like, ignore the ones you hate, and stop worshipping corpo culture.

Homostars have the blue dorito, and yet fans consider them separate from Hololive. Why? Because they’re men, who pander to women, who collab with other men, and inject politics into their streams. They are the literal antithesis to what a Hologirl is, and thus they aren’t considered part of Hololive, no matter how much the company wants us to think they are.

I don't see how you think refusing to support Nijisanji due to their recent actions is somehow "worshipping corpo culture" when it's the exact opposite (since, you know, Niji is a corpo). Or did this board's schizos infest your mind and make you think that the only reason that someone might hate Nijisanji is because they worship Hololive?

I value who a Vtuber actually is over what society labels them to be. I love Hologirls, and thus girls who share many of the traits of Hologirls are also considered Hologirls in my eyes. There’s no reason to hate Vivi or Twisty if they hit all of the criteria I look for, that criteria being similar to the average Hologirl.

That’s just a spook instilled into you by society to blind you to your real opinions. In reality, according to the platonic ideals of Hololive, Vivi and Twisty act like Hologirls, therefore they ARE Hologirls. And we love Hologirls, thus we should love them, too.

That anon is saying he refuses to support Nijisanji because it drove his oshi to suicide. It is functionally impossible to watch any Niji member without supporting the company on some level, therefore he refuses to watch anyone in Nijisanji.
