>>3790984>Indies are called boring and their fans groomersBoring makes no sense, there are thousands of indies, some of them boring, some of them interesting, people are just lazy and don't wanna do the scouting work and prefer prefiltered content like Hololive. Quite a few indies got following on /vt/ however, like the africats, Nina, Koopa, or beatani.
They do have a higher amount of groomer fans obviously due to being so small and basically very close to their fans. Tho the grooming can go both ways. Not that it's a bad thing.
>Nijis are seen as Hololive's rival and hated on principleRival yes, hated on principle not really, lot of shitpost for fun, but their general is doing decently well. I agree they're not liked as much, but seeing how NijiEN feels like discount Holo and how they didn't try to set themselves apart, I can understand there's not much reason for a holo fan to look at basically a worse version of what they already have.
>Vshojos are viewed as whores and hypocritesTrue, altough you can tell people are more open to Ironmouse and a bit of Melody. They're not liked because they're much more "normies with an anime avatar" than holos. The whore reputation is partly based on reality and partly made up, it's just that some overuse sex joke. Lastly, Nyanners is indeed an hypocrite, you can still like her of course, but that fact doesn't change.
>Nobody watches smaller company Vtubers to even so much as discuss themTrue. Not helped by the fact many of those smaller companies tried to emulate Hololive without adding much. For others, there's still little reason to watch some twitter company over indies, the downside of being corporate have to be compensated by things like high quality scouting and production, which most smaller companies don't offer at all.
