Evidently it was possible to refuse to retweet, since some of them did. Particularly if you're already on your way out, you can take the moral path and refuse to take part in their crap. What're they going to do, fire you? Up to a point. If they want a warehouse in Canada to ship mech from...

I was about to @ you until I saw it was you asking. We need to find your evil twin.

If Niji is not in a position to do a graduation then they've got nothing to gain by letting the person leave. Worst case they can kill their momentum and have one fewer competitor. I'd hope the contracts don't let them keep a talent on suspension the whole time, but who knows. As funny as that...

Outdated info, or people sticking with bad banks. Japan has good online banks these days, and only one of the four big name banks requires you to use a stamp.

Everyone in Japan does English classes in high school, so they'll find someone who's decided that means they "speak English". Not well, but is the person hiring them going to be able to tell the difference?

The only thing that makes me ok with it is that he seems genuinely to think it was fair, both in subsequent streams as Vesper and then later as Randon. I'm not as sanguine about Hololive as most here - particularly with Mel's history, there's a part of me that thinks they could've had their...

Maybe they did, but didn't think of them, or didn't talk to lawyers. Or maybe contracts had been updated to close a loophole he used (remember contracts get renewed every year, and Selen may not have noticed a subtle change in a Japanese one).

It's a meme opinion for people who can't think for themselves. Like hating the word "moist" because someone said so in a TV show, or liking Pinot and hating Merlot because you watched Sideways.

That's just a Japanese thing, think more "head of HR" than "legal department". Could also be a project that never saw the light of day, from e.g. Sony or some big talent agency. They probably can. People have short memories, and Selen's statement doesn't have anything they need to respond to...

Trying to have a single business entity operate in multiple jurisdictions is foolhardy at the best of times. When one of those jurisdictions is Japan and another is an English-speaking common-law one it's monumentally retarded. The tax consequences alone would mean a significant risk of flushing...

Like how the Montreal Screwjob was, ironically, the best thing that ever happened for WWE viewership. A villain character is entertaining. Disagree. If you take them at completely face value then the story is: they were unaware of the video contents until that point, were blindsided by the ex...

At the risk of pipkunism, I'm disappointed with Doki's stance here. That post feels like starting to walk back her claims - she talks a lot about misunderstandings and her own feelings, makes an excuse for the recording, and explicitly refuses to share evidence. (People here are talking like...

One nuance I think people have skipped over: why do Niji know about this recording now? Doki must've mentioned it in her document, which means the recording proves something relevant to what she's claiming. Either it shows Vox bullying/harassing her, or at the very least he must be acknowledging...

Let's be real, it's also often a massive money-spinner for the corpo. They don't do it solely out of goodwill.

Jannies are like that in large part because they do it for free. You get a few people who genuinely want to help out, but a lot are there because they enjoy the clout, like power tripping, or it gives them a chance to push their pet cause. Paid jannies are likely to be better quality, although...

Shops tend to put condoms etc. behind the counter because they're commonly shoplifted, probably partly because people are embarrassed to buy them. (Frankly giving a condom to anyone who would shoplift one is a public service, but it's not the shop's responsibility to lose money on them)

This but unironically. Going to Nakano Broadway instead of Akihabara is like going to Reno instead of Las Vegas: yes there are fewer tourists, but that's because it's a pale imitation at best. Lol no. 2 hours of train and bus away, maybe. Population in the Tokyo metropolitan area is still...

There's plenty of rivalry and backstabbing in entertainment, but in most of the business you at least try to keep it backstage and put on a show of unity for the fans. Open rivalry between members of the same group is a distinctly negative side of idol culture, particularly fed by things like...

But only if it's LGBT. Sex with minors is bad if it's straight but good if it's not. Actually that's their rule for rape porn too - probably all sex really.

Keeping ownership of the character is ok. Not crediting the person who's not only the voice actor but also the de facto "writer" for most of the content (even if only under a pseudonym) is not. That wouldn't be acceptable in animé or music or even videogame production and it shouldn't be...
