An actual loss for NijiEN, yes, even ex-livers still speak highly of him. He was also one of the few that actually tard-wrangled if someone did step out of line, which whether you found his fanbase cringe or not, they at least didn't go around starting shit or jumping into drama just to do it like so many other EN vtubing communities. Everyone who joins NijiEN says he's always the most welcoming and supportive person there, which is rare in the content creation world, especially western content creation where everything is seen as competition or using you as a stepping stone.
