Keep in mind that Jap is in charge on EN, and has done a pretty good job of steering the branch away from ridiculous politics stuff. Additionally, Cover understands that they are selling a niche product and Yagoo and Jap don't seem dumb enough to hire people who hate the product they sell. This is a smaller company which is much more close to its fanbase than, say, Sony.

If Omega was still in charge I would be a lot more worried.

People are upset because in the past, Japanese companies opening up US offices haven't traditionally gone well. Most notably Sony transferred their gaming operations to California from Japan, the company began hiring US political activists, "got woke," and began talking a lot about US politics, censoring video games, and pushing smaller Japanese devs off the platform in favor of the latest AAA slop.

It's gotten to the point where Sony has suffered major brand damage in Japan, and the PS5 has underperformed, which has led to some of the layoffs we saw a few days ago.

Omega was the branch manager of HoloEN. His main strategy appears to have been trying to copy Niji EN and make HoloEN more like Nijisanji, which isn't what the existing fanbase wanted and led to a lot of fan infighting.

It appears things were also not going well internally at the branch, because the talents began speaking very critically of their management. It's noteworthy that after Omega left, the problems with Kronii and Mori largely seemed to stop.

This is why you people should've been gatekept in your Marvel/Star Wars bubble. You are a disease, a cancer. Only Japan produces worthwhile media. Everything else is shit. Go eat it. It's made for you.

If the Japanese had any sense in them they'd be demolishing Hollywood, Disney, all of it. These are evil things that need to die, be bought by the chinese, straight up fucked into oblivion to never exist and pollute the world ever again. But I guess Cover sold out to woke, and thus another great form of media will go to shit. They'll definitely have collabs with e-celebs, males, everything. Shit. Pure shit. It will destroy vtubing as a whole by turning it into yet another bland, generic goyslop for normalfags.

Many rrat sisters thought Omega got fired when he took a really long break on Twitter before Tempus debuted. But it wasn't confirmed. At the time it was speculated he got fired for creeping on Ina or a female manager. Later comments from the girls, the eventual rise of Dimitri Jap, and Cover eventually erasing most traces of Omega's existence convinced people he was gone for good.

See, that’s exactly what begins this process. People look purely at the money and think that capitulating to a broader audience is a good thing for their medium. Then said new audience has a bigger speculative value which causes the need for gateway management specifically set upon growth toward that market. Catering then becomes a necessity; then, you get rammed by a gorillion activists who fuck up your day because the regional management thinks they are worth more than they are. Cover either sticks to their guns or chooses to sacrifice EN to maintain the isolation of JP, in terms of core values.

Vtubing should've always been a niche for hardcore weebs. I don't give a damn about the economy, I care about vtubing, and for vtubing to be GOOD it has to be diametrically opposed to everything American.

Cover sold out. It's that simple. This will destroy vtubing as a whole because it opens the floodgates of woke shit into the medium and all small corpos will follow. This is the actual end, the real end.

False flaggers are really trying to deflect with shit like "this is what everyone said right before EN debuted, yet none of the concerns came true." Except this is such a different thing compared to debuting livers, this is entirely an internal affair that will undoubtedly shape the EN sphere of the company. Its probably just going to be like what Nintendo of America is, where they primarily focus on advertising/etc just to the local region. Though NOA doesn't exactly have a good track record with shit like localization and keeping out weirdos if you've seen the people who work for the company especially in translation and shit

I mean, it was ironically Omega and beggars that grew them into an actual threatening force. On /jp/ they were jokes. But when people start fearing them, claiming they 'harass' the girls, make comment sections horrible to read or 'blackmail' them by simply not watching them any more - well. Fear is influence, and it was given to unicorns in spades when they were made boogeymen. I can only think how much more they would grow if Cover hires actually started doing things that could get major pushback.

Go read Cover's IR reports, Connect the World had more than 35,000 paid viewers while a number was never given for other concerts meaning that was the most lucrative concert they had. Overseas revenue has also risen year after year and was already almost equal to their domestic revenue, and who knows how much of their domestic revenue is already due to holoEN because of how popular the EN chuubas are with the Japanese market.

JP’s talents are merch-heavy and HoloFes is still a monster. Aside from this, chuubas aren’t that powerful culturally in the West as compared to Japan.
