>>42669537I'm a pomudachi since her debut. You're right in that the lazusydia days were magical, but I also remember people being fully aware this was Nijisanji and there would be males. Most of us accepted it and were aware of it, as it would be foolish otherwise. However, what we ended up getting wasn't exactly...ideal, in general.
Despite that, it was Ethyria what completely changed the environment, rather than the males. The males by themselves were (again, in general) sort of what I expected, the actual problem was the fanbase they brought with them.
Those + Ethyria, and thus the ecosystem and feedback between livers and fanbase which was created, are the actual issue.
