>>25274474Western viewers are literally a melting pot of cultures and values.
JP viewers are part of roughly the same cultural status quo.
EN chuubas will always have a harder time than localized ones.
Look at Kobo: she wins the ID market because she knows it and is part of their culture.
Salami is doing the same with JP market. In fact people is saying her jokes are hard to translate because of how culturally rooted they are.
We're entering a new meta where chuubas made to appeal to a specific segment will start trampling "general use" ones. Heck even the EN ones that are inclining are decidedly cultural ones: American Gura, Mumei, Fauna. Canadian Kronii. British Vox. Puerto Rican Mousey.
You can definitely see how being strongly asociated with a culture, their jokes, and mannerisms will boost your numbers. At the end of the day people wants to identify with the chuuba and having similar cultures helps a lot.
