>>11948852No, you overestimate them. Yume/fujo culture in the west is splintered. Not sure how else to call it. There is no spending culture the same way JP girls do it, it's nowhere near as profitable. There's not enough fans. A fair amount of joseimuke apps that have EN servers, die. Elira even had her favorite boy idol game's EN server die on her (A3!) after she spent so much money and time. They're also loudly volatile instead of quietly. JP fans tend to hide on their locked accounts, whearas Western ones will not hesitate to rake you over the coals publically.
You can point at how popular Chronoir and other boys are in English speaking fanbases, but because anons don't know how fucking massive yume/fujo pandering is in Japan, it seems like a lot in English, but it literally will never come close. You're looking at an ice berg. And no, women getting lots of retweets on shipping memes on Twitter isn't an indicator of a large yume/fujo western fanbase that would want to watch vtubers and support them aside from retweeting borderline lewds of them and going about their day.
There is also the fact that the majority of Nijisanji men, don't actively pander towards these types of female fans as their main content. Some guys do ASMR, some guys do voice acting, some guys do singing and dancing, some do fujobait, but in the end their main content is still consumable for wide audiences. It's why Kuzuha still has 70% of his viewers be men, despite a +10% increase to his female watchers 2020 -> 2021. You can find shippers (female) for any guy, and you open a video sharing his statistics and it's 90% men. Anons keep saying NijiEN males should go target women but that's a surefire way into shoehorning yourself into obscurity. Marketing yourself like that turns away actual female fans as it feels ingenuine. Have them be normal male vtubers who throw out a bait here and there. Female fans can coast forever on a single tweet from a guy to his friends. Or release voice packs and keep the yume pandering to that/membership.
