it's a Liver's specific fans only care for their oshi, oshi love runs deep and gets the auto defense.
I'd like to say Aster has like 30 CCV more than Twisty.
Stat for November 2024 - Aster 198 CCV. Twisty 168 CCV. Both streamed 30-ish hours. His stat is so bad he's actually far behind Twisty's genmate, Klara.
He isn't as popular as you think.
I'd just terminate him if I'm Nijisanji. That'd score a W for them for the first time in a long while and they can drop a "we care about the safety of our vtubers".
And his stats say
he'd actually be negilible to the company numbers.
any new blood is that makes 0 impact after debut, Aster at least came around when people still cared for EN Debuts
I honestly don't know where you draw the line between new and old but the company is now actually being carried by people debuting after the golden 20 who noone gives a shit about during their debut. Seems like most golden 20 fans left during the Selen exodus.
Anyway for actual stats that isn't fantasy numbers:
Yu Q Wilson, debutting 2 gen after Aster, is hitting really good numbers and has the
highest CCV in the branch, his
genmate Vanta Nightbringer is actually
number 2 NijiEN CCV wise. 3403 and 2810 CCV respectively for November 2024.
Their debut were actually fucked because under promoted and the first gen without a debut song. Also one guy (and alledgely 2 girls) quitted before debut and dumped a lot of negative leaks onto 4chan including his model. Also they debuted right after One Girl's story was dropped.
Conclusion is Nijisister gives a shit about the males, not about the girls.
I'm not saying he's popular in viewership, I'm saying Iluna came around that it was at least memorable to know they actually exist compared to much later waves much less some members of said wave (people forget Klara even exists, Twisty is at least known due to /vt/ and even more so now cuz of this), even more so after NijiEN started going downhill. My point with CCV was just being a later wave and having such lower viewership it's unlikely they picked up enough new audience that people would even run defense for her.
Why I pull out the number is that
He doesn't have many people oshi-ing him left. Noone is watching his stream. At least not anymore than Twisty
When it came out Aster harrassed his own genmate, Scarle. Nijisis defended Aster.
Wanna bet if Maria actually leaked that she also was harassed by Aster they would still come out and defend Aster? Who made threetimes the splash when she debuted?
I think it's more of a Nina's syndrome. Where Nina's fans were actively scared of defending Nina and taking the scorn out of their fellow sisters. Twisty is definitely going through the same thing.
