>>74242867This desu, classic rugpull when they announced luxiem. I never bothered to watch holoen and when watched nijien members, I knew it was tenfold better. Elira, Selen, those were actually fun vtubers to watch, but then as you said, m*les and dickriders (like nina) ruined everything. Holo tribalists laughed at niji fans back then saying how superior holoen was since there is (and never will be) males in EN branch. And after a few years what happened? HolostarsEN was announced which led forced collabs with girls, some collabing with them out of spite like amelia, mori, some avoiding them like a plague - Kiara, Gura. But look where we are now. The vtubing as a whole hobby is in shambles, crawling with normies, sisters, trannies, ewhores with coomerbait live2d avatars. Even the golden standard of vtubing which kickstarted the popularity of it all - hololive, is now mandating and enforcing normie standards like mixed gender collabs, with VCR project and other garbage no sane self respecting fan would never like.
We saw the golden age and now we watch as the entire hobby crumbles away before own very eyes.
