>>44379437The thing is bronies get to huff copium because it's their oshis just abandoning them for weeks on end and then coming back for an ATM withdrawal, and HoloEN merch still sells like hotcakes (well Myth merch anyway), so delusions and numberfagging earnings become a really solid coping mechanism.
Meanwhile if you've been closely following NijiEN it's impossible not to face the facts that a huge group of the talents are just out and out wildly out of touch at best and fucking terrible people at worst. Like for a more or less benign example I'd much rather have had Elira go on a Holo-style tommy-hort silent break as opposed to going 'not your friend' as a prelude to a 2 week off-collab with Luxiem. And she's one of the least offensive, that shit doesn't compare to the absolute snake shit Kyo and Enna have pulled or the menhera meltdowns Vox goes through every other week.
Like when it became evident to me most of HoloEN didn't care I just stopped watching at the time, just didn't really feel like caring back if that was the case. With NijiEN after iluna it's an invasion of the body snatchers horror story where the current branch is some sort of fucked-up skinwalker puppeting the corpse of the 2021-mid 2022 version of itself.
