Or was it a harbinger of things to come?
habuba of things
With the exception of vshojo's spectacular collapse, there will likely never again be a singular yab of comparable scale and destructiveness... But that doesn't mean the underlying factors have gone away or were even unique to Anycolor. I think that much should already be clear.
Considering even Vshojo's collapse was a fucking nothingburger that everyone's already forgotten about... No I don't think the magnitude of drama is replicable at all. This still lives in the public consciousness of every vtuber fan. It still lives rent free in Nijifreakshows heads and they talk about her EVERY DAY.
did it ever go past some he said she said and the self incriminating black stream?
It was the single turning point on the NA side of Niji ENafter that Niji was forced to pretty much exit the market and chase the JP and CCN markets even with their EN vtubers.Since then I have barely seen Niji cosplayers at cons, barely see their merch at artist alleys, they just exited the American Vtuber market entirelyIt's probably a one off event because now every corpo knows to not let it get to that level, you need to take care of your talents and have managers who actively break up disputes between talents and not let people mix roles like Niji did with some talents acting like pseudo managers. They also know now to not do the retard shit Niji did where they actively tried to slander and sue a popular talent who just attempted suicide, which is the literal worst PR move you can make even if you're in the right.so no, it's a one off, it will not happen again
surely no one will ever do something as retarded as the black screen ever again, right?
Selen's departure left a organization hole in NijiEN, I dont see anyone stepping up to the plate to set up big events or large collabs like Selen did
>>107916495Well she's not going back to leave again, so probably a one-off.
>>107917302Nothing publicly, at least. There was also some tangential shit like Niji trying to remove False from a con, and Doki mentioned last year that some japanese companies refused to work with her in the aftermath (though she's expanded a lot since then) but past that she moved on like she said and they got the hint that going any further wouldn't end wellNothing else though could ever happen on a similar scale with Niji unless they actually rape or kill somebody outright with video proof or something. Selen was connected enough that nobody else could ever expect to have the same public backlash.Seriously, she was the one single vtuber in all of western vtubing you absolutely could not terminate or smear and it's baffling that they ever attempted it.
>>107916495This ended Niji EN's presence in the Western world, it was comparable to Vshojo's collapse in that regard as in "if you're an English speaker, this corpo doesn't exist anymore".In the grand scheme of things, nothing changed. Nothing ever changes. The medium of Vtubing as a whole was unaffected by these events.
>>107920849Vshojo was a sham joke American corp, the only corps that mattered were Nijisanji and Hololive. The black screen was more impactful as it was apocalyptically unprecedented AND from one of the big two.
>selen shockThe stock value tripled
>>107921882It tripled because JP has been raking in money hand over fist. EN's revenue never recovered, never mind its reputation. But regardless, I'm not a big fan of the name "Selen shock" myself. I prefer something more like the "dragoon rebellion" or something more analogous to military terminology.
>>107921947Turns out it wasn't simply Selen that was negligible, but the entire EN branch
>>107920849The big difference with Vshojo is that their talents just peeled off the Vshojo branding like a bumper sticker and then largely just continued on as normal. Meanwhile almost every NijiEN member started tanking and a lot of them basically had to restart from scratch.
>>107922039The funny thing is that most diehard Nijisisters have followed this thinking themselves as a cope, they constantly try to pretend to be JP purists and spout lines like "EN doesn't matter" "western vtubing was a mistake" even though behind the facade they're just another Vox/Enna/Millie/etc. cuck with the same generic far-left zoomer politics opinions.
>>107922251>almost every NijiEN member started tankingEvery single one who stayed. You're right that this is the difference. The Vshojo girls just lost that label and could, for the most part, go on as usual.The Niji EN girls still stuck there became pariahs, they stopped existing in the grand scheme of things as well.>a lot of them basically had to restart from scratchIronically, this has been a blessing in disguise for some of them. The obvious one isn't even Doki, but Mint. Doki and Selen seem somewhat equal in their content, audience size and the merch they move. Doki arguably has more merch opportunities. Pomu was always the girl who moved the most merch in Niji EN by far and compared to her, Mint actually has the opportunities to do so. Compared to Pomu, it's like Mint exploded in popularity. On a smaller scale, Sunny and Mogu exist now. Time will tell if Miki can thrive as well.
>>107921947>Dragoon RebellionThat's a much better way to put it given Nijisanji fans are notorious for being loyal to the company and not liver. So to see all of Selen's fanbase start an internet riot was really something.The other big outside ramification was them all spamming Selen's past life account to make sure everyone continued to support her. There was always that unwritten rule you never mention it, but after what happened to Selen, you saw that line blurred a lot more.
>>107920849>Millions of dollars every quarter in NijiEN alone>"This ended NijiEN's presence in the west"Fagoons love to overestimate how they important they are.>>107921947Their revenue has been dropping ever since 2022, retard. Selen had nothing to do with it
>>107917232>Considering even Vshojo's collapse was a fucking nothingburgerThe 2nd/3rd biggest corpo around suddenly imploding is objectively not a "nothing burger" tbhdesu
>>107924238Millions less than the last quarter, which was millions less than the one before...
>>107925214And millions more than Selen makes in a quarter
>>107925407At this point I don't even believe THAT'S true.
>>107924876It kinda just happened and everyone moved on.Unlike Niji, VShojo is dead, completely dead. Niji's rapid decline and its current animated corpse resulted in many other things coming up like the fucking Ike-Reimu-Vox plot twist, keeping the drama alive to this very day.Now tell me what we got from VShojo's death other than charity memes from the whore who never leaves /vt/'s bad side.
>>107926300>I unironically believe that Selen is making millions of dollars a monthLeast delusional fagoon
>>107927158The Vshojo drone ignores >Confirmed poaching >Vshojo backed dramafag campaigns>Drugs in parties>Vshojo girls sucking off Vshojo when they haven't been paid in years>Vshojo charging the girls so they can go bankrupt >Mint's ultimate KWAB moment And many more. Maybe stick to reddit or something
>>107927186So far Doki's had to hard cap multiple merch drops with JP goods producers because they couldn't handle the sheer volume of purchases.Meanwhile, Niji has "limited" drops that go 6+ months without selling out
>>107927158The vshojo thing mostly affects the creators, not the fans. It's still extremely messy on that side. The only "fans" still talking about it though are butthurt sisters like >>107927369 upset that some niji members escaped.
>>107927386So far Doki had to move into a tiny apartment after getting kicked out by her parents and couldn't afford to cough up the money for that PC case auction so she tried to scam the artist But go ahead and try bragging about a cap of 50 merch drops
>>107927449>"Escaped">Get poached by Vshojo, get scammed, go years without money and have to pay the company some more so they can go bankrupt KEK
>>107927369>Confirmed poachingOpen secret made obvious during Niji exodus>Vshojo backed dramafag campaignsSure though it loses its luster when phasefags are doing it to this day>Drugs in partiesPretty mundane in context.>Vshojo girls sucking off Vshojo when they haven't been paid in yearsOnly really notable with kson due to how loud she was both before and after its death.>Vshojo charging the girls so they can go bankruptPretty mundane in context.>Mint's ultimate KWAB momentCompletely irrelevant.If nobody talks about it anymore and you have more people bringing up LLD from that time, then it was a nothingburger. Simple as that.
Nijien has literally been dead since 2023 lmao.
>>107927487>>107927533>exactly 1 minute apart sis is seething off cooldownDokischizo's having a melty again...
>>107927555>All these Vshojo dramas don't matter. All these Nijisanji dramas doCan you be less obvious,Gunrun?
>>107927608>Dokischizo Why do you out yourself every time? You wouldn't happen to also be OP, would you?
>>107927655NIJISEETHE
>>107916495It is the single event which kicked off the death of EN vtubing, and now we are left with nothing.No corpos, no stars, no events. Just nothing.
>>107916495The Selen Incident did massive damage to corpos, but time will tell if it's irreparable.
>>107927810Doki and her immediate circles of indies are doing okay. A city of (relative) stability in an otherwise burning land.
>>107927158>Unlike Niji, VShojo is dead, completely dead100% this. As spectacular of an event as VShojo's collapse was, it was still a collapse at the end of the day. I wouldn't call it a nothingburger, but controversies surrounding it that get brought up by talents now are short lived due to not having a big company still making money to shit on.
>>107927555>Only really notable with kson due to how loud she was both before and after its death.Can you post something other than her debut video or when she shit on Niji?
>>107916495https://archive.palanq.win/vt/search/image/V_xLSAfKZ4ks_5CWh0KNuw/You're trying really hard to push this shit thread, huh?
>>107917816You don't even watch niji bro.
>>107931031Nobody does, it's why they have to regularly employ a Spinosaurus to keep their numbers up
