Kinda sad that the Nijisanji civil war erupting is the most significant vtuber event this year.

it's pretty wild that this has completely shelved the mel and rushia stuff in the public eye tbh, the whole thing with the new round of rushia allegations last month especially was wild

anyway since it's only relevant to the english vtuber fandom and like, niji already killed off their EN branch once but nobody even cared then, i do think it is going to probably not have huge lasting effects once it's all over, like... how many people actually watch niji en nowadays in the first place compared to any of the other major western agencies. yeah it's clear they're running a total shitshow operation and it is clearly imploding on a level close to what holo cn experienced so it'll probably be forced to shut down sooner or later this way, but even then. the termination of the old niji en in 2021, or niji kr in 2022, or almost the entirety of their JP branch feeder program (VTA) last year, all didn't come close to making the biggest news for the scene in their respective years and i feel like this would ultimately be the same at the end of the day. even hololive fully exiting china's scene at a time they accounted for an overwhelming majority of all revenue in the scene and giving anycolor's other, china-based agency a monopoly there (amusingly, i think that one has flat out been doing better than niji even before the drama) just isn't something anyone cares about now

but yeah tldr i think it's not good but also niji losing branches is never a big deal because niji themselves just aren't now

and since it's only affecting the english scene at the end of the day i also just don't particularly care since i don't watch any of it lol

anyway yeah that's my view on the matter
