>>89212131First off, post your menshi. Second of, calm tf down and read this
>>89227585, this is what happened. It wasn't malicious nor intending to leech; she put forth 3 options, some people in chat started spamming 25p, it caught on and snowballed until more than half the chat was spamming it. Her plan was for chat to spam the 3 names she came up with and she/her manager would stop chat at a random point and pick the option that was there (if you watch Miko, you'd know she has done this before too). Obviously, with the majority of chat typing 25p, it was gonna be selected. In fact, I'm pretty sure she rolled twice and got it both times so she gave up and went with it. Anyone with some awareness of how things go knew they'd rescind it after the stream, she just accepted it temporarily because she had no time, she literally said so.
Personally, I had no problem with 25p, I even found it endearing (imitation-flattery etc), it just shows the influence Miko and 35p have in the Hololive fandom. However, as you say later on
>>89238619, Miko was obviously bothered by it, she tried to play it off as being fake mad but long time watchers/viewers that can minimally read the room (eg the other Holomen) knew she was annoyed. Not annoyed by Niko, mind you, but by chat, specifically the trolls that spammed it, hence her tweet(s) later. So don't go on tirades accusing her of plagiarism or what have you, it's not wholly her fault, and we both know Miko would be disappointed in you for chastising her kouhai for no reason. She didn't plagiarise it, she definitely didn't make fun of it, they're working on finding a replacement, and Miko said to leave it at that so you have to oblige.
The -p discussion is so retarded I won't even get into it.
>>89235799This is true too, for Niko's good changing the name to something her fans can strongly associate with is for the best. What they should have done is this
>>89228497. Present the 3 names, tell chat to think about them/post about the m on twitter, then the next stream do a poll, maybe even including a new idea/suggestion that came up. Trying to decide on a name in 2mins during a 30min hectic debut is dumb.
>>89214095I'm still mad about EN4cers getting shafted, it was such a good name, compared to Justchads at least
