>>11603003You know, I actually can understand why they played it safe with NijiEN since their presence in the west was really small and they just came from the NijiIN shitshow but I still was bummed out with how safe they decided to play it, only females, safe designs, an idol like song for debut and in general basically no risks taken at the start, I still gave them a chance and enjoyed them plenty (though nowadats I have lost a lot of interest in them), but the dissapointment at no males was very big and it only grew after Obsydia was revealed and turned out to be only females again and the next auditions were gender segregated and the male one was left for last, which btw.
>NO MALES until people started complainingI'm firmly sure that they only made a male audition because they saw all the complains about no males in NijiEN (which, funnily enough, Nina was apparently part of) and rushed to announce a male audition, which would explain why they didn't show any design and why it was left for last and it honestly just dissapoints me, and even angers me a bit, to think of just how much the males have missed out due to Anycolor's decision and that they will probably never get the anywhere near the same amount of praise and love from both fans and other vtuber as the girl do, certainly not for a long ass time.
Doesn't help that said decision will do nothing but complicate things even more for them, especially with how long they have taken to include them, especially after some of the girls have begun falling into parasocial and gfe shit, which will undoubtely bring in the kind of schizos that will attack the males upon their arrival which wouldn't surprise me in the slightlest if it happenned since NijiEN rn is sorta like Hololive during it's begginnings (female only group that collabed and interacted with males pretty frequently but still attracted an audience that attacked their male group upon their announcement) especially because I don't trust people when they said people like that don't exist in the west and that schizos and mentally ill fags only come from here.
