>>96684703>effortlessly stomped the anti management sentimentThe most certainly did not. The difference between Hololive and Nijisanji, from before the whole thing, was that
1) the HoloEN audience from the very beginning always considered management to be absolutely incompetent and a necessary evil, and that sentiment never changed for their whole track record; while
2) the NijiEN audience (in an opinion shared by their livers) ran with the myth that, because Hololive management is a mess, one of their company’s competitive advantage was BETTER MANAGEMENT
That was also of course motivated by the fact most of the NijiEN audience was made of relative newfags without any knowledge of the Nijisanji management fuckups on the JP side.
Everything that happened from pretty much iLUNA debut forwards was more or less just me of those “mindbreak arcs” in hentai with the Zaion situation, Mysta situation, the cancelled 3D live (and debuts), the Pomu thing, the cancelled Selen thing…
And which each fuckup their audience illusion of “management superiority” was being shattered while at the same time being the one thing they were proud about the company (which ended up becoming their “company-oshi”) until the “Selen Shock” was the final blow that pushed them from “undying love and loyalty” to “rebellious hatred”.
Hololive didn’t “stomped anti management” sentiment, it just doesn’t have a big influence because it was always there and both the talent and the audience always navigated around it.
The NijiEN side tried for “I love Nijisanji” and fell flat on their face.
