just a little bit of recap for those who joined recently
originally onolumi fans tried but failed to keep up an onolumi general.
she was and still is very small compared to other indies even, so she doesn't belong in /lig/.
she's not western so she doesn't belong in /wvt/.
she also speaks full ESL and plays western games so she doesn't really belong in /indie/ either.
but she sparked interest in and brought attention to retro games and vtubers playing retro games.
the first dozen or so shared generals were onolumi+amiya.
after a while, the first "4 horsemen" was created based on the other 2 most commonly posted vtubers on the lumi+ami retro threads.
it was a nice round number and sounded cheesily chuuni so it stuck.
it wasn't until much later when the retro vtuber name grew and grew that we even bothered to talk about changing the horsemen or arguing who's worthy or not worthy to be in the OP
