NijiEN talents frequently talk about very far-left gender politics. Transgender and gay issues hold primacy. They frequently bash christianity, white people, and America in general.
The Western vtubing fandom has a strong right-wing slant, doing this filters most of the potential fans from their reach. Even fans with opposite politics could be contented to watch, if the politics wasn't shoved in their face constantly.
Also bashing the dominant race/religion in the west is a bad idea when that's the market you're trying to reach. Imagine if a chinese vtubing company opened a japanese branch that frequently mocked Japanese people and Japanese traditions. It wouldn't be very successful.
Uki who is notorious at this point

Protected by management, not even a slap on the wrist
Enna is one of the most wildly out-of-control people the branch has ever hired. Only comparable to Twisty.

>frequently preaches about gender issues, and says that assuming a baby's gender is wrong
>says that she votes for the Green Party and frequently lectures her audience about the environment

Millie who has caused more scandals than anyone else.

>proclaimed that she would never marry a Filipino and said that likes white men more
Reimu
>most of her content was about "being columbian"
>would frequently make anti-america and anti-white remarks as a staple of her content
>at one point openly mocked Trump and his wall
Nina
>had a major hateboner for Christianity and would trash it every chance she could
>made a lot of communist jokes that were not quite 'jokes'
Wilson
>ever since become closer to Elira, has started rambling about how evil his french heritage is, whereas before he was proud of it.
Vanta
>Frequently gets political comments from his underage girl fanbase, which he reinforces and amplifies, often going on strange rants about gender politics that he absolutely doesn't believe
>talks about his race quite a bit, almost like he's using it as a crutch
Pomu, the girl who left
>made a lot of pro-america remarks and went full Uncle-Sam in Metal Wolf Chaos
They should have pulled the plug on political comments long ago. Most of their fanbase today isn't even western....for a very good reason. Westerns don't like political messages pushed on them in entertainment media. The concerns over "woke media" have destroyed a lot of brands, and arguably destroyed NijiEN as well.
