>>29293401While this is definitely true, I don't think it's the full timeline. With absolutely 0 evidence to back it up, I think the timeline went like this:
>NijiEN pre-LuxiemBranch is still struggling to find a foothold and Cover doesn't want to give a competitor viewers by collabing.
>NijiEN post-LuxiemCover probably doesn't care anymore since NijiEN has established itself by now. As you said though, Chink Fujos cannot be angered so Nijisanji won't sign off on it.
>NijiEN post-discord leakNothing has changed on Nijisanji's side, but now we have a Vei-like situation of talents talking shit so Cover backs off on collabs too. Now neither side is willing to sign off on a collab and so Kiara despairs that it will probably never happen.
