OffKai Expo axes Nijisanji trio to ensure \u201cpositive experience\u201d for guests OffKaiExpo\/AnyCOLOROffKai Expo has dropped three Nijisanji EN members from the event following concerns that their attendance would negatively impact the desired \u201cpositive convention experience,\u201d for guests and vendors. Following the news of Selen Tatsuki\u2019s termination and Nijisanji\u2019s alleged toxic environment, the agency has taken a sizable reputation hit in the wider VTuber community. Despite the CEO\u2019s assurance changes would be made to prevent a similar situation in the future, many fans are still upset with what transpired. These controversial events even led Nijisanji to lose collaboration opportunities with official partners with HYTE withdrawing on February 7. With the popular VTuber convention OffKai Expo just a few months away, Nijisanji had an opportunity to reach out to its fans and potentially improve the situation, but that won\u2019t be happening anymore. Offkai Expo drops Nijisanji EN\u2019s Ethyria OffKai Expo has announced on X\/Twitter that it has canceled the Nijisanji panel featuring the three members of Ethyria, \u201cAfter thoughtful consideration, Offkai Expo believes that recent events have resulted in an environment where Ethyria appearing would not be conducive to a positive convention experience for ANYCOLOR Inc\u2019s Livers or our attendees.\u201d The announcement continues, \u201cEnna Allouette, Millie Parfait, and Reimu Endou will not be appearing at OffKai Expo 2024,\u201d with the three Ethyria members previously set to be the lone Nijisanji representatives at the convention. OffKai Expo clarified, \u201cFor the record, this was a decision made two weeks prior and has no relation to today\u2019s events and misunderstandings,\u201d in reference to concerns that some guests and vendors were being rejected due to Nijisanji\u2019s influence. The VTuber convention refuted these claims assuring fans, \u201cNijisanji has not influenced our guest or vendor hall decisions at any point in time,\u201d and that claims stating otherwise made them \u201cdeeply concerned.\u201d As of March 5, neither Nijisanji nor any of the three impacted Livers have commented on the decision either on stream or in a more official capacity. Meanwhile, the fan reaction has been mixed with some believing this decision was necessary to protect the event\u2019s feel-good factor while others have accused OffKai Expo of acting too rashly and being influenced by third parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
