>>61233660that's not how things actually work. people have said this since ethyria but every new wave the atmosphere shifts just a bit as people collab with them and their style of content gets normalized within the branch. like it would've been unthinkable 2 years ago for someone like kyo to be in nijien, yet here we are. if they actually stayed in their lane then yes i would just ignore new waves, but the more and more bad hires they add, the worse niji's reputation will get, and the worse morale will get. people used to be so hyped for lazusydia collabs, yet now whenever the branch has a big collab everyone groans and hopes luca and kyo aren't there because they're so fucking annoying. birthday streams are boring as hell when 90% of it is a totsu with people you don't care about. if you don't like most of the people in the branch then it's not "nothing has changed" it's a situation of stagnation and decay.
