>>70573359I started watching Doki right after she debuted in that black company. I've always liked people with skill at video games, and her skill at Apex was better than most. I liked her laugh, I liked that she's got good chemistry with a lot of her collab choices, and I especially liked how she didn't join in the chorus of "Nijisanji family" and the secret gc stream. Casting aside her bully dragon persona becoming too much sometimes, I feel like she's professional with the people she deals with. She avoided mentions and topics that might look bad on her relatively more than other vtubers, especially in that black company where doubling down on bad takes was tradition.
I'm glad she kept most of her personality intact till now; so all the things I liked about her still applies; but I was stressed out when I found out about the whole suicide thing. I didn't know shit was that bad since I've been away from the black company entirely for all of 2023. She's a valuable chuuba to the EOP front of the industry. Here's a relatively competent gamer that can entertain; speak English; network; take care of her own commissions; puts in more effort than her former coworkers; and just... converse with others.
And they almost took that from us... I'm happy she's indie. Hope she stays indie for her own good. Perhaps she can't compete in dancing and singing, but Doki is a good EN chuuba who understands the essence of being a chuuba more than some others.
