>>56460832Alright you fucking Nijinigger. You think I haven't watched NijiEN? I watched them from when they first debuted, in May 2021, until around March/April 2022, when the open VC ruined nearly every stream. I was there when the first 3 waves debuted. I was there when Selen first played Apex. I was there when all branch collabs were still ENJOYABLE. So fucking believe me when I tell you how Luxiem absolutely RUINED the branch. They ruined the branch in 2 main ways.
>Introduce both Chinese Fujos and a Twitter crowd to the Niji and vtuber communities.>Ruin nearly every stream and especially collab thanks to Open VC. There was a time where if you didn't want to watch a strict solo stream, which already weren't a very prevalent type of stream in NijiEN, you would either be forced to watch something else (old VODs, chuubas outside NijiEN, fleshtubers, etc.) or watch content with males. Now, if it was just the presence of males in stream, I would be completely fine with it. It's not about the males themselves that ruins a stream. It's particularly WHO and WHAT THEY BRING with them,
Most of Luxiem were just straight up annoying around debut.
>ShuLives to just talk about how amazing Elira was to an annoying degree.
>Vox/MystaWay too pander-heavy to their fujos. Makes collabs with them unbearable due to chat.
>Luca"POG JAJAJAJA"
>IkeThe only chill one.
They didn't add ANYTHING to collabs, and these collabs were a mainstay. The amazing idea of "OPEN VC" made literally EVERY FUCKING STREAM turn into a collab unless stated otherwise. Specific thoughts about "all-girl" collabs having a male for some reason include Petra and Maria's Ibb and Obb stream having Luca there, and the "Girl's Night" stream having Uki there. If there was a Minecraft stream, Luca would be there pogging all over the place. It killed the original audiences of many of the girls, leaving only the twitter crowd and chinese fujos afterwards. Fast forward after Vox sticks up for Reimu (zased for that btw) and most of the chinese fujos are gone now too. The only people willing to watch NijiEN at this point are the twitter crowd, and a few that literally only watch solo streams of some of the Lazusydia girls.
>tl;drThe shift of pandering to fujos killed NijiEN. The girl's audiences left after it was clear the old streams would now be a rarity, and now only the twitter crowd remains. It's telling that many of the Livers have more twitter followers than YT subs, let alone CCV.
