>>79821507https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU_-6dlAM04Here's a chronoir stream from 2019, they had matching idol outfits at that point already. I disagree with the other anon though, Niji let their livers do whatever they wanted, including idol stuff, but they didn't start actively pushing for it until a few years back.
>>79823878The only people who actively say ''b-but they aren't idols'', despite some livers branding themselves as such, are eop twitter sisters who want to pretend like they're above idol culture, it's sort of similar to people who push for mixed gender collabs but don't actually watch streams. Their actual fans are aware certain livers sell themselves as idols (or part-streamer part-idol).
