>>14979633Are we supposed to be rubbernecking the nijihomos or Finana?
Finana is unapologetically slutty and this doesn't really vibe with her cute appearance/voice at all and I get real real tired of anyone saying she's "pure" in the fucking slightest. On top of being like Marine only worse she also freely interacts with dudes which is very unlike her - no she isn't horny for you, she's horny for them etc. So, I'd reckon that effect will shave off even more numbers from her.
Nijifans are in such heavy fucking denial that their EN audience is extremely Holo-centric in origin - when Finana projects out all the qualities Holo fans do not like, this is the result. I mean it should have been obvious from even before her debut with the braap tweet that she doesn't wanna be that at all and wants to act like a retarded zoomer. The bog standard response to this has been "So, Niji will magically summon a new audience out of thin air so we don't need to care what they think because I literally only think in black and whtie and HATE HOLOBRONIES OMFFG even though I was one myself six months ago." However that has not really happened. The size of the Western vtuber audience itself isn't really expanding much anymore, as Wave 3 and Holo Council suggest. We're moving into viewers being more of an ecosystem/economy rather than an endless frontier, where the audience is a limited resource and you have to factor in current trends and turnover. Luxiem is at the endless frontier moment for female viewers but probably that won't bring in a lot of new fans to Niji girls I'd estimate, maybe some but not a giant wave.
