> Alban and Mysta both got into Nijisanji expecting to be able to do stuff like old Nijisanji (Mito, Gibara etc.).> Their audience is insisting a lot on "professionalism" for some reason (old Holo listeners perhaps? or sisters going "monkey see monkey do" with respect to Hololive?)> Mysta's most memorable stream was a game he knew no one wanted to fucking watch.> One thing Mysta won't miss when leaving is the idea that he has to "act normal".> Mysta often has times when he won't make a joke because he knows (assumes) how his chat or "people on social media" are gonna react to it.> According to Mysta, the biggest problem in Niji and the biggest reason he wanted to leave, is -> "Niji viewership is 'merged', i.e. Niji viewers only watch other nijis. They often have expectations of him to act the same as certain other livers, because they mainly watch them. People used to other livers' rules come into your chat and expect you to adhere to those rules as well."> Mysta thinks it's rare that it's only just one person you're watching if you're a Niji fan.> Mysta feels like anytime there's drama it's always the same shit, just happening to a different liver, and that gets boring/tiring. Alban agrees.> Mysta thinks that NijiEN audience thinks NijiJP is this seiso place where nothing weird happens (probably because no NijiEN fan watches JP).> Alban disagrees in this particular instance, but he feels like there's some people that are entitled.> Alban tells them to go watch something else if this is not your cup of tea instead of bitching about wanting someone else to shift to your standards.> Mysta wishes he could say stuff about his actual life, but then people accuse him or oversharing when he does it.> Alban has the opposite problem where his chat wants to know more personal stuff about him but he's security conscious and doesn't want to reveal anything leading back to him.> Both agree that anything you say on the internet will stay there forever, so they have to pick and choose words.It feels like the issue is kinda fundamental to how Nijisanji is structured.
I remember a blog from a NijiJP fan talking about this EXACT SAME problem.
> You like certain livers, and stick with those groups.> You dislike certain livers, so you prefer not to watch them.BUT, the livers that you like may be friends with the livers that you don't like.
So during collabs, both fanbases are basically at each other's throats.
Some tell their oshi not to collab with them, but others fight against that because they may be good friends.
And the livers are trapped in the middle of this fanbase war, wondering whether the trouble of this fan war is worth collabing with your friend.
It's arguably much worse for EN because of the "Niji family" thing they have, frequent collabs, offcollabs etc. where literally everyone gets melded into this big varied audience that are often at odds with each other.
But at the same time, similar issues exists with Holo as well, and there are often shitstirrers that try to bait the girls into saying or doing weird things (Condom money SC, MajesticBear, Alexander Babsky, random homobeggars etc.). But that never really reaches a company wide level (other than with Kronii) because they mostly get ignored by the girls - and by reflection, the fanbase as well.
It really feels like a lot of Nijisanji's problems would just go away if Niji livers had the barest minimum of training on how to deal with Social Media.
Once they get into the habit of ignoring these "social media people" and other randos that just want to stir shit, I feel like their livers would become a lot healthier mentally.
