Stronny and Vallure have been some of the most influential and positive force in the industry.
Currently, or in the near future. You will see smear merchant trying to rewrite history. Before that happens. Let me tell you about VAllure and Stronny.
I want to preface with some intellectual honesty : is VAllure/Stronny perfect and faultless ? No. Otherwise we wouldn't speak of VAllure in the past tense.
A combination of bad luck, the current censorship/puritan environnement as well as sub-optimal business decision led to it's closure.
VAllure death appear to be similar in nature to that of Pixelink. But unlike Pixelink. Talents are leaving with their IP.
Now for a little story of VAllure past and future.

Calling Stronny a veteran CC is an understatement. She's been around for longer than you think. Been watching her before she was even a VTuber.
Randomly, one day, I got a YouTube AD for a new VTubing agency. I was about to skip it, until I recognized a voice. Her voice.
Unfortunately that company ended up very abusive. Leaving many of it's ex-talent with PTSD, trauma and deep routed insecurities to this day.
Stronny was terminated, the first to leave that company, but in a way it was a blessing.
Stronny, upset, decided to embrace her inner Thanos and to "do it herself".
She saw how her previous company dipped it's toe in NSFW, how much potential it had. But that company never fully committed to it.
What was initially born out of petty revenge became much more focused. Grew more meaningful.
Stonny wanted to build a home for VTubers like her "a wh*re agency" as she would call it.
Vallure, the first NSFW VTuber company. Stronny took her time, almost an entire year building it up in the background.
Stronny had a lot of "ops" and "naysayers". People called her "too menhera", "too unstable" affirming she can't do it.
And I remember telling my friends, who thought she had no chance : if she surrounds herself with the right people. I think she has a chance.
I would be proven right.

I will gloss over the middle part as it's the one most people know.
VAllure was a tremendous success. Gen 1, gen 2 almost a gen 3. Countless events, both gaming and ASMR relay sponsored by the company. Giving a chance to creator of all size to shine.
With very few drama to speak of. Considering the propensity for drama in VTubing. Even more so in the NSFW space.
It's talents, some new to VTubing, some veteran, all finding succes. With it's biggest talent, Immy Bisous reaching 100k+ subscribers on YouTube

But what about the part that matters here and the reason for this post: Legacy
Let me ask you this question. What has more weight ? When trying to judge Stronny character and wether VAllure legacy is relevant.
A) the words of smear merchants, envious individuals, many of which aren't even part of this industry or the VTuber corpo world.
B) the hundreds, upon hundreds of VTubers sharing how much Stronny and VAllure did for them.
Without VAllure many would have never started VTubing, some would have even quit. Many people reading this would be : oshiless
I will share below 4 tweet that are meaningful to me. Of the positive impact VAllure had. But there are hundreds more.
As the talent now walk as indie. They will carry that legacy forward and magnify it. Being an ex-Vallure talent will be a stamp of quality. Commanding respect from others. Vallure as a company may be gone. But it's legacy, the impact it had, is still felt and will only grow..
[...]
Vallure is so much more. It's the proof you can take "a bunch of wh*res" and create a professional and respected brand.
Despite seeing THE WORST VTubing could do to people. Stronny still decided VTubing was worth it. Still decided Corpo VTubing was worth it. Still decided to build upon that dream.
How can anyone look at this and not call it : inspirational.
That's what Stronny and Vallure is to me. That's the adjective that befits her best : inspirational.

WOW!
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand…
“So, you voted to build a wall.
Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit, since you consider America a country rather than a continent you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.
The word people might not resonate with you, let’s call them consumers.
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW..Brands that often outperform in quality.
They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywood films in favour of higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe, which offer richer narratives and better cinematography.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and instead visit the Xcaret resort in Cancun, or explore destinations in Mexico, Canada, South America, and Europe. In Mexico, you’ll find better hamburgers than McDonald's, with superior nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the U.S.?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan all have ancient wonders, none of them in the U.S.
If they did, Trump would probably have bought and sold them by now.
We know that Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand..There’s Adidas, and even Mexican brands like Panam.
We understand the economy more than you think.
And we also know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy trapped within its self-imposed wall will crumble to the point where you'll beg us to tear it down.We didn’t want to do this, but...you wanted a wall?
Well, you got one.”
