Nene's been threatening to sell Hololive armpit sweat for a while now, good to see she's got her business plan finalized.

Glasses? Glasses are really versatile. First, you can have glasses-wearing girls take them off and suddenly become beautiful, or have girls wearing glasses flashing those cute grins, or have girls stealing the protagonist's glasses and putting them on like, "Haha, got your glasses!" That's just way too cute! Also, boys with glasses! I really like when their glasses have that suspicious looking gleam, and it's amazing how it can look really cool or just be a joke. I really like how it can fulfill all those abstract needs. Being able to switch up the styles and colors of glasses based on your mood is a lot of fun too! It's actually so much fun! You have those half rim glasses, or the thick frame glasses, everything! It's like you're enjoying all these kinds of glasses at a buffet. I really want Luna to try some on or Marine to try some on to replace her eyepatch. We really need glasses to become a thing in hololive and start selling them for HoloComi. Don't. You. Think. We. Really. Need. To. Officially. Give. Everyone. Glasses?

Honestly surprised that Aqua isn't using dualblades since she's a huge SAO fan, and isn't above shouting out 'Starburst Stream' while gaming.
For what it's worth, Korone has been playing MonHun off-stream and mentioned that she uses bowguns, but I don't think she specified light or heavy.

Well it seems like its the EN's girls managers (probably) blocking Coco collabs. After Coco said she wanted to, and to ask them why they weren't collabing, someone asked Calli just now and her answer was "I want to also, but... I'll just leave it at that. It's hard"
Like I was saying earlier, it's likely fear that even taking preventative measures like member-only chat will raise questions from people who aren't aware of the situation. Then when they learn the answer is "Chinese antis", they'll likely end up focusing more on the "Chinese" than the "anti" part. Even Coco's own audience used to be that way, and that's understandably not a controversy they want to expose the English side to.

Cali's manager seems incredibly strict above the others, considering she was afraid her manager was gonna ping her negatively for mentioning she's not wearing pants

(As multiple hololive admit to not wearing pants, panties, or completely nude in PPT's case)

Calli refers to her manager as J-Chad so I would think something like no pants wouldn't even get a reaction from her. More then likely it's to avoid the fanbases grabbing torches and pitchforks. A lot of new fans have no idea of the drama from half a year ago. Especially if all they do is sub for streams and that's it.

I guess the better question here is why Hololive girls don't seem to ever collab with Nijisanji guys. An Aqua/Kuzuha APEX duo would be phenomenal to see.

Even Coco's own audience used to be that way, and that's understandably not a controversy they want to expose the English side to.

The simplest solution would be to just have the stream on coco’s channel, like how meme reviews work, but then you’re limited by what games you can play with only her perspective and it becomes a mess, and if you don’t do that and stream both sides, you’d need to send the ancient one out to mod coco’s chat for a week to see what has to be done and then do that for any en girl wanting to collab and yeah, this is why the answer is “it’s hard.” It also seems like the strategy hololive is going with is just letting the embers die out on their own, and spreading the fire to another set of channels would give it fresh oxygen.

The only thing, though, is I can’t imagine much of the English speaking audience isn’t aware of the coco drama, given how much people talk about it in all the usual places. One of the drivers of it being brought up is newer people asking why coco’s stream is members only. It seems kind of odd to assume you need to protect the English audience from finding out about the Chinese fans being weird nationalists.

People alluded to it above, but it's less about the English audience being protected and more about them turning it into some racism shitstorm that falls into Cover's lap. Combine that with the anti Asian sentiment going because of COVID right now and it'd be a really loving ugly look.

It basically boils down to "the juice isn't worth the squeeze" right at this moment. No one is going to stop watching EN or Coco because they haven't collab'ed and the risk to have a shitstorm on your hands (coming from fans that don't have any restraint or common sense), outweighs whatever gain there is.

That's the thing though. By now the only antis remaining are/were never fans of Coco, Hololive or even Vtubers. They're trolling and hating for the sake for doing it. There were some fans that were upset at the start and a lot of that is due to the haters controlling the narrative in China. You also had people doing the same on the overseas fanbase side which everyone telling their perspective of what happened. I had friends who were under the assumption that Coco willingly threw shade against China when that was also another narrative that was created. Starting that kind of stuff up now will almost certainly muddy the water. Reddit in particular is quick to snap judgement on anything they tag as a threat which has come back to bite them on more then one occasion. The stuff with one of Rushia's stream came to mind.

I guess my question is: Why does Holopro care at all anymore about whether their fans go after China? What have they got to lose? They've already been forced to close the Chinese branch, cut off all their partnerships, and had their talents barraged with spam for half a year now with no sign of letting up.

At some point, you would think they'd have to go "Hey, let's just stop giving a crap about a market that has proven they will flip out and ruin our poo poo at the drop of a hat," especially if it affects their operation in a big new significantly-less-volatile market.

Also when you consider that Gura alone has like a million more subscribers than any other Hololive member, there's probably a lot of EN's fan base that isn't as keyed in to the goings on of the company as a whole.

The most likely answer is once this eventually passes, Cover will probably reform a Chinese branch and get back into that market. If you're in any part of the tech game, making an enemy of the vast economic empire that is China is a bad idea.
