>>38978243I'm a day 1 Tempus fan (membering two and regularly superchatting) and was a longtime viewer of NijiID; they're even the reason why I'm in this rabbit hole in the first place. I still want to support them but eversince the merge happened I absolutely lost any interest and hope in Nijisanji as a whole. I
also always dislike NijiEN males and their fanbase.
The reason why I love Tempus and Holostars as a whole is their streams are enjoyable to watch and they make music. I finally found someone I can call my kamioshi in Tempus and not because he's a bule or goes the yumefujobait route, but because he's such an entertaining, fun streamer and have so much passion for music. Big huge plus that makes me so attached to them is that they have amazing merch, same goes for HoloID; I absolutely despise Nijisanji garbage merch and as much as I wanted to support my old faves, I don't want to burn my money and support that kind of business model.
I would love to have StarsID and support them, not because of petty reasons or because I want them as the other branches' new toy, but because I want our hardworking local male chuubas, especially indies to get the exposure that they deserve. I believe it will push the growth in local market as a whole like how NijiID (RIP) and HoloID did before.
We have a lot of great quality male chuubas, but unless cover has money to burn and is ballsy enough to experiment with an even smaller and unstable niche market, it's gonna be a while until there's hope for StarsID. But despite that, I will still wait patiently for them.
