>>27932578I've been watching chuubas since the /jp/ days. For ANYTHING non-big company, inner circles are created, its unavoidable.
Hell the first /wvt/ drama back when there was barely any EN vtuber yet and /vt/ didnt exist (I think, memory is hazy), was an inner circle drama and the first time a discord was set up for non bigcorpo vtubers (the sekkrit herdcord, Bayes as first ever gosling schizo drama, etc).
Back then the idea of having a discord was thrown around but was seen as a catastrophe in the making. Considering Rushia happening, holoCN happening, NijiEN all out war happening, groomers, and so on I don't think they were wrong... Most big yabs and dramas have been discord related.
Anyways to be in an inner circle you need to be an active discordfag, AND you need to bring something to the table (artist or musician for the chuuba, archives, servers, already having clout, IRL friend or boyfriend, whale, community meme man, and so on).
I don't like it, but that's how it works.
