Sorry mumber but this is nonsensical, Niji was popular before Holo, this is an undeniable fact. NijiEN got popular off of chinese/asian fujos and disenfranchised HoloEN fans. We don't need conspiracies to justify their popularity, it isn't a secret that 2022 was Niji's best year and Holo's worst post boom, they were genuinely adored by a lot of people.
Yeah, NijiEN clearly stole HoloEN's crown that year with how popular Luxiem and Noctyx was and just the whole branch being solid and having a different vibe than Holo. It was supposed to be smooth sailing for Riku there, just counting his money in his yacht, surrounded by hundreds of silver playbuttons.
Then
this shit happened. NijiEN was never the same when Petra accidentally leaked their private discord. The ALL-OUT WAR meme was born. This event was the beginning of everything going wrong with NijiEN. The Yab machine didn't stop. It put out such bangers as:
- ILUNA getting mogged by Tempus
- Yugo's graduation
- The AR Live cancellation
- Zaion's shitshow
- Nina's sudden graduation
- Mysta's graduation
- K9 Kuro's debut
- Matara Kan's debut
- NijiID slowly dying
- Selen's MV getting privated
- Pomu's graduation
- Selen's stealth suspension
- Kyo's graduation announcement
- Selen's termination
- The "Negligible" announcement
- Dokibird's redebut
- Elira's black screen stream
- Riku's apology stream
- Dramafags feasting on Niji
- Anycolor's stock crashes
- Kyo's graduation
- The Scarle and Aster drama
- Scarle's stealth suspension and quick return
- The Luca leak
- The Nijisanji unsubbing event
- The GURRAT
- Yuki got exposed as a racist
- Quarterly earnings report shows NijiEN losing money
- Stocks freefall, now lower than their initial offering
And this all happened within a span of almost two years. That's crazy.
