They basically chased away fans of female talents over the course of the past year by pushing for romantic pairings, very obviously milking and prioritizing Luxiem for all its worth by overshadowing Lazulight's 1st year anniversary with a "Half Year" anniversary, introducing "PuchiLuxiem" instead of PuchisanjiEN (Relegating this content to just 1 wave too, straight up disregarding the possibility that any future EN males could probably do just as well), and that's not even getting to the fact that some pinoy dudes in the branch like Luca will very obviously pursue any female talents. It happened with with Kotoka and Meloco, and she later shipped herself with Hex too, and why would any male or female vtuber fan want to be the awkward third wheel/voyeur in this scenario if they just want simple entertaining streams after a long day of school or work?
They also publicly terminated female talents like Yugo and Zaion in extremely dumb ways (Yugo to a lesser extent granted, and yes she has a male model but its obviously an asian woman behind it), they hate CGDCT by shutting down Nina's plans for a female-only Terraria server, management is more willing to stick to their guns than turn things around. Which could've been fine and dandy if it wasn't for the fact that even viewers of male talents left in droves after one year, so now the branch's fanbase is both small and at odds with each other. Its at a point now where it can barely be said that NijiEN is a serious competitor to Hololive, they're now demoted again to competing against IdolEN, Phase, fucking indies at this point.
