OTHERS
stop picking on midgets! (they started the fight themselves)
only the west speaks english
Twitter interactions
everything that brings a big audience is a special event
Niji keeps failing but that's okay because they are rich
Cover paid off the government to come down hard on their rivals
indies will more likely go to NijiEN first, stay indie second and then choose HoloEN as their last resort
if they make fun of you, you win
Hololive succeeded only because of 4chan
