Absolute banger of an effortpost. Thank you. It's always interesting to see how much drama can be traced back to this one corpo and how often we still see its names resurfacing here and there (for example, Amemachi Hanabi and Maria Paradisia were supposed to be part of AkioAIR's second gen).

Not to the extent of China or some other east Asian countries, no.

Good thing there aren't millions of people who speak Mandarin outside of CCP-controlled territory who aren't subject to those regulations. The CCP really solved a major problem here.

Shouldn't it be taken for granted in the modern world that companies are not driving their employees (or contractors) to backflip? I actually kinda hope she doesn't bring up the firing at all on her stream and just talks about her future plans and how much she loves her fans and other safe and...

No contractor doesn't know they're a contractor. The job listing will say it's a contract position. Their contract will say they're a contractor. The way they set their own hours, buy their own equipment, bill their clients, (usually) are paid hourly or per task instead of on salary, and don't...

Oh God, we're cycling on the apostrophes again. The "only Japanese keyboards type curly apostrophes" is complete and utter bullshit and I wish idiots would stop repeating it to each other (no offense). There are no "curly apostrophe" key on Japanese keyboards. Whether you get a straight...

A fellow boomer's take. He warns us that there will be swearing in the title of the video. That's so fucking wholesome.

"In an effort to calm the situation, we sought to either publicly disclose the reasons for making the music video private or have Selen Tatsuki disclose them herself. While being mindful of Selen Tatsuki's physical and mental health, management did their best to communicate with not only Selen...

What is an affiliate in this context? And all of the talents (and affiliates, whatever they are) have left now, right - there's nobody left? Okay, do I take this to mean that Rakkun was the only one who had control over her IP and Owozu had the IP for all the others? I did cover this on...

I still will push back on this. There's no date on when Niji took control of the Twitter account and nothing in their document implying it happened right after her "plz pirate the video" post so it could have happened after the hospital discharge tweet. And I think that Dokibird making tweets...

I've been bookmarking all of these "gonna take a break" tweets from livers as I've found them. Just did a quick count and I'm up to 11 if nobody deleted any. Might make a collage tonight. If any more surface be sure to at me. As I mentioned in the other thread, I don't see what Niji has to...

Yeah, I'm so glad that we were all mature enough to not use one of those AI voice synthesizers to read out these tweets in Keeki's voice and dub it over video of the Austrian politician giving a speech. That'd be really unfunny and irresponsible and I wouldn't want to see that.

Who are you referring to as "a liver?" If it's someone other than Selen then I don't know what good it does for them to accuse their own talents of bullying. It probably would have bene best for Niji to not include anything about the bullying at all in the document in retrospect since it has...

I tweeted a bit along these lines earlier (prompted by something Azehara tweeted about IIRC) and talked about it on stream as well: I now believe that it's immoral to support any NijiEN liver, especially financially, because a significant portion of that money will go to the entirely despicable...

Proctor's up. We're safe for now.

Who was the first? (This wasn't quite a graduation though.) Rushia got brought into a new corpo after what she went through, and I think it's clear that where there's smoke, there's fire when it comes to Niji's mismanagement and not everything in that doc can be taken at face value. I still...

"In May 2023, we sent a notice to Selen Tatsuki, stating that any further violation of the Activity Rules or engaging in false or misleading statements that could damage our company's reputation would result in the termination of our affiliation contract. However, she has continued to violate...

I was looking into this and it looks like it's even crazier than that for Moira. These are the most recent tweets on Moira's feed right now: From bottom to top (forward in time): "I'm going to watch the debut stream of a cute girl I found." (Link to stream) Retweet of Sakura linking to her...

@braindoko I wrote up a summary of the Owozu stuff for my news show on Monday. Since you're going to basically be my only source on this, would you mind giving it a look-over and letting me know if I got anything wrong or missed something important? If anyone else here knows about this case...

I kinda feel bad for the ES community seeing how shit their luck has been with agencies. I assume there are smaller agencies who are doing fine and everyone is happy but it seems like every one of them who holds the title of the biggest in the market turns out to be trash at some point...
