Watching people accept that the takamori ship was pretty much dead has been... interesting.
I don't think they were expecting people to take the ship as far as they did, tbh. Then again, they probably weren't expecting the EN branch to be so explosively popular in general, especially Gura and Calli. So, they probably got weirded out about fans taking it way too far.

EN fans just seem to take everything way too far; Genshin is another good example. I still enjoy Hololive, but it's been hard watching the EN fans making the franchise more and more cynical and grimdark, turning my cute waifu-fest into some fantasy version of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Most Holomems do that themselves, though, and the JP viewers are in on a lot of that, too. Tbh I'm not even sure what you mean by "cynical and grimdark", I've not seen anything to that degree. It's hardly fair to single out EN fans as being a problem, either, when a lot of toxicity is present in every language group. The Japanese fans can be just as bad when it comes to taking Marine's girlfriend roleplay too seriously, or shipping Pekora and Miko so aggressively that the two stop doing collabs together because the pressure makes it unpleasant.

EN fans have always taken everything way too far, that's just the style of any subculture in Western circles over the past 30 years, not just weebish or fannish ones.

My dude, it's just cute girls doing cute girls things, it's not that deep. Don't take fanart and headcanons for anything more than inconsequential to the canon, and stop consuming drama posts/threads. Just watch the damn streams.
Same goes for other media, don't take fandom stuff too seriously.
