People saying “omg I didn’t expect this from Vivi” when in the past she called out this creepy guy she met at a MMO and he decided to stalk her account for months and all she said was “sucks to be him cause he’s out here balding while I have a full head of hair”
guys there are a couple of things you should remember, speaking as an artist alley artist:
1) buying fanmerch does not give money to official companies
2) we order our merch 1-2 months ahead of time
3) merch can EASILY cost $1k+, which is not inconsequential to small artists
I've kept quiet but the policing of NIJIEN fandom must stop. No matter what you think of the situation, the harassment of fans for just enjoying their fave VTubers is unacceptable.
Y'all say "don't support the company". Fanmerch doesn't give NIJI profits. Make it make sense.
