Here's what we already know:

>The auditions for Nijisanji EN ended 3 months ago, on December 15th
>Ryuusei Nova, while a fan of Hololive and Pekora in particular, followed several Nijisanji members on Twitter, and suddenly announced she would be graduating on March 28th
>Maid Mint, openly preferring Nijisanji to Hololive, announced a sudden graduation on April 3rd citing health reasons, though danced around questions about it and admitted that was only partially the reason
>Shirogane Yui, a self proclaimed "Hololive reject", announced a sudden graduation yesterday scheduled for March 31st after openly admitting she was planning to apply to NijiEN, after the tweet where she announced her plans to apply was posted on this board it was deleted making it almost certain she was accepted
>Mint had just received a new model and Yui had plans to debut (after already making videos) before graduating, making the sudden graduations very strange
>An anon has been mysteriously claiming for weeks that Nijisanji EN will be announced on the 2nd week of April, coinciding around the time of all these graduations

>> No.1769849

Now the question is if it'd be 3 people or 6 people.
Any recent non-vtuber streamers acting weirdly?

>> No.1770152

>>1769849
This would be so hard to find with non-vtubers. They could just stop streaming on their twitch or YouTube account without a reason since the culture around those streamers don't really have a type of "graduation" announcement like chuubas do.

>> No.1770193

Maybe 3 females and 3 males? I imagine the males will come from non-VTuber spaces since I don't know of any male EN VTubers who would fit the bill.

i hope they do some male members. i think nijis male vtubers are one of their best selling points, and can maybe popularize them more in the en space

>> No.1770467

>>1770287
That'd be the stupidest thing they could possibly do imo. It already doesn't help that one of the members describes herself as a Hololive reject, if they copy the Hololive business model completely there'll be nothing distinguishing them from the competition

They can talk about their sex life, masturbation and political beliefs at least right?
That's kinda Vshoujo's thing though.

>> No.1770562

>>1770509
I think Nijisanji actually does prohibit explicit political talk. Not to the same extent as Hololive but they are a corporation, you know how it is. And yeah they can talk about their sex lives in detail but I'd rather them not be seen as a poor man's Hololive OR Vshojo ideally.

>> No.1770573

>>1770467
it's less about copying hololive intentionally, and more about finding male vtubers that happen to be good enough when the available talent pool consists mostly of girls
when the hololive rejects turn out to be overall better investments, they'll pick those every time
also hoshikawa openly said she wanted the akai haato role, didn't she?

>> No.1770623

>>1770573
It's not just a male and female issue, even if they do go for an all girl group they could still debut more than 5 members, in fact I think that'd be the smart thing to do, they could debut 2 Hololive gen's worth of girls in one gen and that'd be their selling point. And yeah I believe hskw did say that.

It's not an untapped market, it's a non-existing one. The Western vtuber scene isn't some new thing that popped up after holoEN, it's been around for years and there's overwhelming evidence that no one actually wants men over here.
The most popular men over here across the board are people who were famous before becoming vtubers first, then guys playing waifus, not just regular babinikus but dudes selling the GFE.

The thing is that these guys with huge previous lives actually do worse than girls who debut with half of their fanbase. Merryweatherey and Takahata101 are known by the entire scene, fucking huge before they started vtubing and by all metrics they're good at what they do. They still get destroyed and rely on women boosting them for numbers.

>> No.1771253

I don't think Nijisanji has any policies against political discussions besides telling their streamers not to say xenophobic or racist shit. People who watch Roa said that she's gone on rants about Abe's birthrate policies on stream before, so it's likely that politics are avoided by chuubas so that they don't accidentally misspeak and say a yab that can get them in trouble or they avoid it because it's not in their characters RP. The doomposters that have been crying on this board for months about how NijiEN is going to have SJW trannies sympathizers are just cultural warrior retards who can't shut up about politics.

Takahata101 does everything the top female performers in the market do and he's better at it than most of them. Basically people who think there're no popular males because none of them are good are expecting a hypothetical gigachad who's amazing at everything, holds up to a standard no one else on the market no one here or in Japan can even imagine, and that probability and statistic laws completely fail.

There's a ridiculous amount of evidence that men don't work here. The only ones saying otherwise are making excuses to believe what they want to believe.

>> No.1771459

>>1771289
Yeah true, it's also why they don't mention religion with regards to ID. If you're a Nijisanji chuuba it's just a safe bet not to talk about politics or race not because it's against company policy but because you don't want to piss off a section of the fanbase in one country. Like imagine some American chuuba with a smaller viewership talks about how much they love Korea and kpop but they hate anime and don't want to visit Japan, that'd just set some people off in Japan.

I mentioned this in the last thread, but Nijisanji needs to make a pretty big entrance into the western scene if they want to gain a foothold.

Yeah, doesn't really sound like your typical obnoxious western twitter non-binary. Ryushen kinda plays into the unknown gender anime trope, like Crona in Soul Eater, while with Melissa you could argues they're gender fluid or whatever people use nowadays. Honestly, the whole problem with that crowd isn't their gender but their complete inability to shut up about it and use it as the core of their personality, something they share with vegans.

I watch the western indies often and from what I've seen, ENVTubers like Nova, Mint, and Yui are smart and keep their noses clean. Most medium-big western VTubers who have already debuted know to stay out of drama while the TBAs and newly debuted VTubers are the most vocal about that kinda stuff.

>> No.1794872

The official profile for Melissa states both species and sex as undetermined, and the way Melissa behaves is more of an intersex ("I can't have children") and bigender who feels sometimes more masculine, other times more feminine.
Bigender fits Melissa more than nonbinary, Melissa is comfortable with both male and female pronouns, and never kept anything secret about any of this short of showing the genital organs, or lack thereof.

Meanwhile Ryushen says things like: "I actually have a gender" and "I am either male or female" but doesn't want to reveal which, the official profile lists it as unknown. Ryushen is bothered by gender in general and would hate it if even a single fan were to leave after a gender reveal.
Ryushen does behave like a nonbinary and prefers to be treated as such, but what ultimately Ryushen is, is best described a "closeted binary."
>>1794227
Fans can and will go crazy about this sort of stuff, but I think the concept behind such vtubers has more to do with their contralto voices and personal history than any political attention whoring ("transtrender", etc.), and if somebody understands that "one can be a degenelate without being woke", it's probably the Japanese.
IMO I could ever be bothered by this sort of stuff only if I had to draw porn of them. Also both use "boku" all day every day to refer to themselves, which is not a genderless pronoun.

>> No.1795097

>>1794872
My question was more if they act like your typical ultra-woke twitter person or they just want to explore a different gender expression without having to subscribe to unrelated stuff, and neither of them have the kind of asshole aura that you find here in the west. They're also co-workers with Toya, and I can count on one hand the number of trans/non-binary people I've seen in the west that don't go their way to condemn loli/shot stuff. Hopefully the NijiEN members either don't care or are able to suck it up, because I doubt any of them would openly say they like that kind of stuff.

Holofags have a distorted view in of what the vtuber scene looks like, in general. It's very all or nothing - you must support everyone in the group or you don't support the group at all.

Wouldn't be a problem with politics in entertainment if it was entertaining... But modern politics by people who want it in entertainment boils down to "I'm a victim, please support me" or "people with these particular arbitrary characteristics which have no bearing on them as a person are victims and you need to feel bad because you're victimizing them based on arbitrary physical characteristics you exhibit and have no control over".

It's counterintuitive but it's probably easier for Japanese to do that kind of ambiguous gender thing and say fuck all the rules. Japan is much more conservative, but the language doesn't have a lot of third person pronouns, and it has a lot of context-dependence and ambiguities built in. So someone being gender non-conforming doesn't get hit with a constant stream of "him" and "she" to remind them what box people assume they fit into.
