>>70345267Gonna be honest, I would have been better off as a hololive fan. For the longest time I thought Nijisanji was better than Hololive for fans since the streamers in Nijisanji reply to fans a lot more in general and also the idol culture isn't as strong.
But now in retrospective I can see that they were simply a lot less managed which also led to the vtubers themselves creatng more controversies. The people I followed didn't create many but having negative stuff like that happen so often felt like a blow to Nijisanji as a whole.
Not only that, over time I was getting myself into more and more arguments with other fans over stuff Nijisanji livers did. The typical "trust the livers" vs "can't you see there is something wrong here, you dumbfuck?". Nijisanji's environment made my daily interactions a lot more negative.
Then there is the fact that I am a game developer. It was one thing when I created games for the livers, had to optimize them for web play, had to upload them to an obscure site and in the end they never touched the games but when I saw Hololive roll official support for fangames on Steam, I felt so defeated. They had everything I ever wanted, but my oshi wasn't in Hololive so I had to stay with Nijisanji.
The closest thing we had to game support were the Nijisanji fan discord servers but they ended up banning me and my Pomu game projects were left unfinished.
Honestly, the Nijicords are a whole problem in and on itself. The previous admin of Pomucord was bisexual and when July came around, he didn't want to change the server logo to rainbow since he considered it a soulless company move, but Finanacord accused the entire team of homophobia which eventually led to the team kicking only him out as a scapegoat. Although he did go crazy afterwards and took over the old Pomucord by force. Anyways, the point is that the Nijicord servers moderate according to personal ideals and not objectively.
Overall I wish my oshi had never joined Nijisanji.
