China's gaming industry is currently having a Gamergate-esque event because one of the obtainable characters in Girls Frontline 2 talked to a male character, who isn't the protagonist (who isn't even a self-insert protagonist, hasn't been for fucking years). Incels are a bottomless well of comedy.With that said, I was surprised when Hololive announced a male idol branch (at the time I wasn't into vtubing so I didn't know Niji was a thing). There was a similar incident in the video game series Idol Master (where you produce idols minus having them sleep around for jobs) where the developers introduced a male idol unit with their own separate game and the fanbase went completely apeshit, because just the notion of a non-faceless mob even existing in their idol world was enough to trigger unicorns. It seems Niji avoided this issue altogether because they debuted a male talent in their first wave.
