I think many who bother to take a cursory analysis of both the fuckups but also numerous success stories of an agency like Hololive will easily see a system that blends the more positive or novel (to us filthy westerners) aspects that idol culture can bring to consooming media while also slowly mitigating and sometimes even outright avoiding the more fuckheaded trappings
Rushia is a clear example, the most surface level take will often bring people to see the narrative that big bad hololive forced her to do GFE and then kicked her to the curb for having a boyfriend. When the first statement Holo ever released was "our talent's personal lives are none of our business, and if you harass them, fuck off". A basic look into the story reveals a retarded woman who sought to correct the record with a fucking dramafag first because she couldnt keep her lust for twink dick in check and out of her work discord
Meawnhile, alot of Niji is also a display of the inverse of how people are so smug about their agency not having idol culture when some of its most toxic aspects are in droves, not really in the very easily scandalous things like grabby management (if anything, Niji's management seems non-existant to useless) but we have atleast 2 people on record extensively talking about how the fanbases were so suffucating and downright full of retarded NEET zealots who shat up their coworker's or even friend's experiences for the most minimum of offences.
Vox as a whole, imo, has also surpassed Rushia on the BFE/GFE autism, Rushia may have a wedding ring, but Vox has had cope streams in chink platforms where he knows he wont get any pushback, and sagas where a bunch of ESL chinkettes were calling for the beheading of a coworker because she joined an ASMR stream
Niji even has dedicated bootlickers who will ignore any trappings or failings that the people they supposedly enjoy watching that happen as a result of the company, in some of the most bizzare pro company sentiment ive ever seen in a while.
Its going to sound really fucking retarded, but a case study on how many Nijisister types that somehow quanitfy who actually gives a shit about the talent and who just seemingly watches them because they're Niji would be interesting
