>>26135790Considering there are at least several times more holo fans than niji fans in existence, even if a way-smaller proportion of them cared to worry about this shit, that'd still leave a mark. On the other hand you can freely see that NijiEN discussion will bring up Hololive out of the blue all the fucking time even when it had nothing to do with the conversation - that isn't the case in Global or the various Holo splits however, where Niji just doesn't exist generally and nobody really cares to talk about it.
People bring up that "oshi reflects the fanbase" kind of mantra but I think that can be extended to companies too - NijiENs themselves constantly think about Holo, as do its fans. Hololives literally either don't think about Nijisanji at all like Gura, or just see them as friendly neutral people to party with like Kiara instead of the rivals to seethe about and constantly doompost about beating somehow/way. Little dog syndrome etc.
