i recall the core NijiENs pre luxiem being pretty beloved in the forum to the point where people gave Nina a chance even when her poltisperg PL was found. At worst Finana was the ugly duck thanks to "EDUCATE YOURSELF"
Things did sour after Luxiem's fanbase reared their autism, but debut Luxiem still was posted about, especially collabs with the girls, peak Luxiem (both in NOOMBA and fanbase schizophrenia) started after the great KF site fuckening and the emergance of this site though, at that point i think people posted less specifically about them and just around in collabs, or posting what drama happened with them
