>>34311695I suspect many if not most of of the nijiEN girls' audiences are /vt/ users, so if someone's reputation is bad here it immediately translates to their noombers. Applies basically in every case, and the ones super-loved here tend to do notably better than the others. However it's hard to tell if it's cause and effect or not, like the popular ones here are popular because they're good in the first place or because we-in-specific like them, but it's notable that ones like Finana who got shat on with extreme prejudice here over shit like the uki collab and the "parasocial fucks" tweet also are doing bad period. Same goes for like.. all of iluna, none of which are liked much here in comparison to Lazysidia.
The one breakout is Enna who is more popular than you would think reading about her here, although Enna is also liked here too so it's not like it's a reverse, just not quite proportional because tons of Chinese like her for some reason.
