She was actually Pomura this whole time bros...
Unironically the holofans cheering this shit on for a year kind of made their own bed to lie in when that sort of stuff starts happening. Did you guys seriously believe Phase Connect or some other small corporate was going to fill the vacuum that NijiEN will leave behind? How much copium are you guys on lmao. Niji's audience isn't quite the the hard-core idol-otakus like Hololive. Most of NijiEN's fans are either disenfranchised Hololive fans or some brand of normie/"ironic" weeb. The vacuum will be filled by an agency with that sort of reputation like Vshojo.
As a big unity-fag; The time for Unity ended in late 2022. You get to reap what you've sown now.
I might be wrong but I remember Pomu accidently slipping that Finana "wasn't planning on graduating this year" or something in her stream today.
I was not attacking you guys with that statement, get the chip off your shoulder for once. NijiEN dying is a BAD THING for all of us, not just Nijisanji fans, this industry is still small enough that any ripples affect everyone. I have also always said that any corpo having a monopoly will be a BAD thing, even Holo. Whenever I shit on Niji it's either deserved or me shitposting and yeah I am biased, and there's nothing wrong there, there's plenty of phase and indie shills in this site that will take jabs at the big corpos while defending their own and it's their right to do that.
I am gonna be honest, I don't like Niji's or Vshojo's style of content, I don't watch them, and if Vshojo in particular was the only corpo in the EN side I would probably go full indie or quit the hobby altogether because I really dislike their normie pandering, kayfabe-less style of content that I feel dilutes what made vtubing magical for me in the first place. But I understand why other people like those corpos, I just don't like this widespread fucking hate that Niji's blundering is creating that makes people go "hurr durr corpo bad!" or "I wish all vtubers were indie",
it vindicates people like those fags in the black & white indie's replies yesterday, maybe I'm just being like a unicorn seeing his oshis collabing with m*les and angrily balking at the sight of my favorite parts of the medium being labeled as "the problem".
I don't hate Nijis and I don't take pleasure in seeing part of the industry going up in flames, my hatred is singularly focused on how vtubing is changing and how people are talking (and rrating) about corpos (specially japanese ones) nowadays.
Ps. and
@Zizara I was wrong, I labeled "vshojo fans" as the problem, but I realize that was the wrong target, I generally just meant normalfags, posers, bandwagoners, grifters and people on twitter who attack the medium (specially the japanese side of it) for being like it is (even though it sometimes IS shit and needs to be called out) but these fuckers don't like chuubas, watch them or have the best interests of the industry in mind, that's what has me writing these long fucking essays and dreading the future. I just DESPISE posers because they have destroyed every hobby I have ever taken an interest in and now I see this kind of shit beginning to take root and using Niji's downfall as a casus belli, that has me foaming at the mouth and perhaps it blurred my vision of the real enemy.
