>>50056488>Why anyone that fits that desciption would apply to Niji?As stated before, someone in management clearly has an "idea" in mind for each wave. I've discussed this before in other threads, but I'll repeat myself here too. ILUNA are normies. They represent everything you'd not want in vTubing. What should be gatekept. However some chucklefuck at Niji thought that by hiring outsiders, they'd bring in new eyes to the medium and product. They didn't and all are borderline 3views. XSOLIA is a harsh reverse, all ESL and seemingly unaware of western norms. Some anons have compared them to being a K-Pop idol group. However since they are so utterly ESL, they don't intermix or link up well in most large EN events. Hex being the runaway success by being a sexpest to Chinese women is a testament to that. The treatment of Zaion's termination by them was also overtly Japanese. GAMERS is just another attempt at cracking a demographic that they feel like isn't covered by vTubing as a medium. "If we get all these pro tier players, we'll get this new viewerbase" and to watch we both know isn't going to be the case. Someone who watches Tfue, Seagul or Courage isn't gonna randomly go "Hey this laughing dragon who can't handle basic coms is live, I'll watch her instead"
It's also why I think the GAMER wave was quietly foreclosed and they rushed this latter two "general" pools one after the other. They are desperately trying to prep two new waves while they still have some level of interest left in them.
