The problem with male vtubers is that the whole appeal of vtubing is that it removes your appearance from the equation so you can thrive on your personality alone.

With females, this means that the femcels, fat weebs or just mid and ugly girls and so on who actually have some talents or fun personalities but would never have a chance being idols or streamers because they're not pretty enough get a chance to shine, but with men, it's already possible to be a popular streamer without being a chad.
People already do that, there's no such barrier, so instead of getting their talents from the elite and most talented uggos like with girls, male vtubers are being selected from people who are already second or third rate among ugly incel men who couldn't make it as normal streamers.

They're picking from the same demographics, but because it's easier for ugly men to get popular, they're not getting the best among that group.
Men also don't have a simp bonus like girls do, and most vtuber fans are male weebs.

Another problem is that it's socially acceptable for women to be simps, so if they want a parasocial relationship with a male celeb they can just pick kpop idols or whatever. They don't have to hide among weebs

love female women. hate homos

tldr: no one wants to watch male vtubers

>what is nijisanji

vtubing is primarly a male viewing audence of the anime fandom, so they rather watch cute girls.

also Imo female vtubers overall have better and more appealing designs then males who mostly are kpop cutout dolls, look at the first tempest gen compare to every holo en gen. there is more diversity in the gen with twins ffs.

btw i use to watch holostars until vesper got shitcanned. haven't watched since.

That sounds plausible, except there are some very, very successful male vtubers and most Holos aren't actually that bad looking.

I think another factor is that women are turbo-normie sheep, both innately and by choice. Innately because of the greater male variance phenomenon that causes men to deviate more towards extremes and away from mediocrity, in both qualitative skills and personal interests. But also by choice, because more than men, women like to fit in and place value on what everyone else is doing. So most women would rather fight each other to be part of Chad's harem than pledge themselves to some random nobody weirdo. But men aren't like that, men are the weirdos, and they place much more value in their personal tastes than whatever the crowd is doing. If all the girls became dudes, Pekora and Marine would become billionaires and everyone else would have to quit. There's no audience for a male Raden or Fuwamoco, girls would all rather watch Pekora or Marine.

The real answer is that becoming a corporate idol as a man is an inherently cucked move, because no male entertainer ever needs anything more than their own talents to make it big, and thus Holostars has a bias for unambitious men who aren't powerful enough to take control of their own destinies, or even if they develop the mentality on the job, they then can't channel their full ambitions due to the corporate shackles chaining the masculine beast within them. For women it's different, they'll be seen as pseudo-sexual commodities no matter how talented they are simply because nobody watches female vtubers except young incel men, so it's better for them if they pack into the established incel commodities retailer that is Hololive, instead of trying to build their own store. But of course women aren't stupid either and they dislike their corporate shackles too, for different reasons, which is why we've seen a meta form where they'll join Hololive for the immediate top 1%er status, hang around long enough to captivate the incels into thinking they really care, and then leave and become indies, bringing with them their paypig thralls.

Why is it always men who speak on what does and doesn't work for male vtubers knowing you're completely wrong in everything you say?
>>
>>110787820
the problem with male vtubers is that the male streamer world is thoroughly saturated, while girls who play video games and do idolshit is not the typical female content

Niji does fine
Stars was just cursed from the start
>Unreliable management that barely replied and never knew what it was doing, only one that did moved on years ago because he thought "stars will be fine without him now" (how wrong he was)
>Constantly fluctuating rules and support
>Has the pure poison of being associated to hololive, garnering schizos hostile towards them and their fans, fucking up their algorithm and making them unpleasant to share around
>All of the above contributing to the draining enthusiasm within the stars themselves
I'll follow some of them when they inevitably move on anyway but it does beg the question of what's going on in Cover. Before this the girls across the pond were dropping like flies and I don't think they were particularly debuting any new gens right?
>>
>>110787820
No, the problem is that men are horny and simp very hard for an anime girl.
The opposite is not true and girls don't really care about anime men that much or simp the same way men do for girls.
In fact, most vtuber girl fans care more about other female vtubers than their male counterparts.

This has nothing to do with personality or entertainment. It's just a basic biologic difference

Question should instead be "Why male vtubers in Hololive fail?". Answer? They don't belong in a unicorn milking farm. It's a miracle they held on as long as they did.

>>110787820
you are just a retard faggot.
sucessful female vtubers have like 90% male fans
sucessful male vtubers have 90% female fans

homostars lost first mover advantage to nijisanji and tried to leech off hololive with their 90% male fans, should have have stayed in their fucking lane, fuck them and the nijiniggers they brought in.

I mean before his suspension and menhera break downs Vesper was very successful. There is a market for what he was doing. His orc model and general flakiness are hard filters. But if you found that kind of guy without those things they would be popular with both.

I think in China there's a huge market for male anime characters. In the West not so much. Ironically mostly SE diaspora women are into it. Girls like Gigi are the target demo in the west.

I'm not sure why there isn't a mega popular Chinese male vtuber unless Chinese Women see their own language as a debuff?

my bad, i meant "normal human beings don't want to watch male vtubers"

>>110791573
I think it's better for a general audience if a male vtuber has a funny design than a sexy one. Look at how popular that Burnt Peanut guy

yeah

This isn't a hobby for entertainment, it's a hobby for lonely people seeking a sexual/romantic outlet. The entertainment value of any vtuber, male or female is frankly irrelevant. There are plenty of both that are funny, talented, and capable of entertaining in a multitude of ways. It's why outside of very specific circumstances (Lord Aethelstan supplanting Nyanners audience), you see virtually no popular vtubers with an audience they share a gender with.
This dynamic is slightly different in Japan where vtubing grew alongside face streaming, so you'll see a handful of popular male vtubers that actually do have a male majority audience, but even that's becoming the minority these days.

Quite frankly, pretty much the only successful corpo male vtubers I've seen so far are people who do unashamedly BFE shit.
They should always cater to a female audience.
And Nijisanji already had the best ones at that. Hololive recruited the remains.
Out of all of them, Only a few are good. Roberu is obviously the one who stands out.
Cover management certainly didn't help, with them pushing the holomems as idols and mostly trying to avoid intergender collabs to avoid pissing off gachikois.
So, long story short, their talents weren't the best to start with and they even managed them like shit.
As for EN, that's a whole other can of worm. Magni and Vesper were their big draw and they failed big time to support them and give them motivation to stay.
>>
so many men aren't actually funny or talented, and despite that as long as you're even slightly mid you can get popular?
it must be so easy to be a man

>>110791162
I will forgive never Aruran for ditching the cool ojisan model, the chill food zatsus and 2hu streams to become a fuckboy that hangs out with obnoxious ecelebs and spams SF6 and esports bullshit

>>110791687
That's a westuber. He even said he hates vtubers. Completely different beast.
Male vtubers do work in japan, as long as they cater to a female audience and have the talent for it.
In the west, femweebs that are into anime are a small minority. It could work, theoretically, but it would require a lot more exposure and push.
Most stream viewers in the west are males to begin with, so it doesn't really work the same way.

Am I? When's the last time Miko or Korone collabed with Aruran or Roberu?
Yeah, I though as much.
Thanks for your contribution to the conversation, anon. Bye.

>>110792546
Creating a male branch was a fools errand from the get go for a place like Holo. Yagoo is single handedly responsible for this blunder. When %90 of your audience start screeching like the lonely retards they are when a male is on screen next to their oshi, you should have known better than introducing a branch full of them, expecting them to succeed.
>>
>>110792836
and you got proof that management is telling them not to collab with stars?
>>
>>110792752
Anon, even Matsuri literally just came out and said "no more male collabs, i am gonna focus on gachikois". Probably need money for retirement.
