Dumbshit numberfag news nobody cares about, Kuzuha's pretty much set to hit 1 million subs this week (roughly 4-6 days as he's pretty consistently getting 2k subs per day), becoming both the first Nijisanji Liver and seemingly the first male Vtuber to do so; overall an arguably major accomplishment.
This milestone is kinda giving me a thunk about how could NijiEN (or possibly Holostars EN?) guys do within a Western audience. While there haven't really been (m)any noteworthy male Vtubers in the West, a notable case a friend informed me about is
KamiyaJuu (I'll let others do the honors on the potential jokes), who seems to be doing fairly well for himself. You could argue part of it is that he's a Filipino, but it still shows that male Vtubers
can work outside of Japan, they just need a push in the algorithm that something like Nijisanji or even Holostars absolutely could offer (or they could completely fuck it up like how Nijisanji fucked up with IN, but time will tell). I'd even argue the West has similar variables that could be triggered, ex. we absolutely do have cancerous fujoshi children and subhumans for the standard bottom of a fandom barrel, they're just called stans around these parts.
