>>80520340A lot of older fans heavily disliked the mass-produced newer waves, the insufferable co-workers, the whole vibe of what NijiEN had turned into, if they frequented /vt/ then on this shithole they had to deal with 24/7 niji-antis spamming the catalog nonstop, but they stuck with the corpo for the sake of the girls they'd followed for years now. Then Elira does the black stream. All of a sudden this girl you've been a fan of for so long turns out to be just as bad or even worse as a Luca or a Kyo or a Hex or any of the other god-awful people you've been biting your tongue over for the past two years, and it turns out you no longer have anything tying you not just to her corpo but to her specifically because she's clearly not the person you thought you were.
If anything she's lucky the vitriol was contained to people unsubbing and members mass-quitting, probably as a consequence of famelira being a relatively sane and chill fanbase and so many people having already given up on the company when Pomu got forced out. The backlash from all that bottled up resentment could have been ten, twenty times worse.
