I don't think they want the talents to speak for themselves... at least not all of them. But I wonder, does asking about missing donation funds and merch orders count as "Accusation of failure to complete contracts?"
Easy. Notwithstanding suspicions of drama behind the scenes, the announcement doesn't come with a rep sheet to kick the talents on the way out. The actual announcement keeps it to what matters - final streams, the fate of the IPs, donothon rewards and merch. Better PR than Niji.
Seriously, all they had to do was shut the fuck up. People who would otherwise not have had a clue about what's going on will start digging now. They inadvertently threw everyone involved with the corpo under the bus with this one too, especially by addressing the favoritism allegation.
Only saving grace is that since it's a dissolution, there won't be any more time for drama to fester, and it's clear that the buck should have stopped with management. Eri and Silvi/Risti will be tainted if they ever decide to re-debut.
Jesus, just shut up... dissolve the company, wish everyone well and let them get on with their lives. If people are going to talk shit, let them talk to the void.
Only thing I don't get, is that if all of this stuff is true, why doesn't Kilia (or the other girls once it officially closes) don't expose Blaise for what she was doing now that they're out of the company?
I don't have Proctor's sources, but I think this can partially be answered here:
The >10k number came from one of Ekko's twitter spaces (she might have actually said "5 figures" now that I'm thinking about it). Since she didn't know EIEN was going under when she graduated, and since she implied the price she gave was not first-hand knowledge, my guess is this probably wasn't for her model but for someone else's. According to one of Kilia's gunpla building streams she and Navi exchanged RL contact info before she graduated, and as Ekko she has met up with Amora in person, so I'd speculate this number comes from one of those two. If we take /eien/ rrats a little farther, the prices for the models were "Zumi / Navi > Kilia > Amora > Skye > Mirri > Blaise ??? Kiki." The inclusion of Kiki and Kilia makes me question the legitimacy of the "leak," but it would definitely explain how Blaise - who wasn't even sure she wanted to continue using her IP - was able to purchase it, while Navi - who really wanted to keep her model - wasn't. Supposedly there was also a now-deleted tweet from Mirri regarding an $8k final paycheck... if anyone happened to snag it that'd be great, but so far I haven't actually seen the screenshot posted so this is very much just rratposting for the sake of rratposting at this point.
Speaking of "4chan rumors," alleged twitter alt GloomeyTunes has been deleted recently - coincidentally right around the same time that Blaise has come into the EIEN drama spotlight (a fact of which she seems aware based on her small meltdown in discord within the past 24-48 hours). If it was her actually her alt, here's a pretty damning screenshot (note: not mine, I never followed the account) providing evidence for both Grandmaster Robin's assertion that Kilia was "bullying" Blaise (likely over suspected PL shenanigans) and Proctor's assertion that she was running interference for management: View attachment 81832
The wording of "I didn't try to get you fired" seems to pretty blatantly admit that she did in fact run to management to seek some form of retribution against Kilia. I definitely wouldn't put it past her to suck up to management by disrupting the other girls' efforts to better their work environment (at this point I'm assuming everyone still reading has accepted that the staff at EIEN was absolutely atrocious, for those that still have doubts I assure you not all of the girls had the positive experience Ekko described in her twitter space... I'll refrain from sharing things that the girls choose to not make completely public out of respect for their privacy but other forum members including Proctor will have also read the stuff I'm talking about).

"They can just do a bad thing stay quiet for a month and ... still even have fans or like be supported..." - I can't imagine who this could possibly be referring to ...

Funny considering she had a donothon to pay for her dog's injured leg, who got injured due to her negligence, only to use the money to go on a "mental health" break that was only an anime convention. Then coming back for a second donothon to get the surgery money and not delivering on goals before graduating.
Even simple things like not eating a simple pineapple pizza before graduating. These screenshots are from one of her old mods as Rei/Mogu
Despite Blaise PL shenanigans, I think it would have been extremely unprofessional trying to bully her for that if she was part of your corpo.
Which makes me think Killia didn't do that, or at least not as bad as the redhead wants to make us believe. EIEN would have terminated the shark girl if that were the case.......... I guess?????
Honestly, like in all of these dramas, there is a missing piece that is lacking to make it all make sense, like what happened in the Nuxtaku/Vshojo controversy.
EDIT:
Seems she has some plans (don't know how to archive)
I didn't think it was going to be deleted but there seems to be a lot of people not getting merch since back in February and struggling to get refunds.
Ferumi started this poll in the Discord server she and Nemo share. From further discussion not even she has received merch from the company, and someone even said they were waiting on digital downloads. Some said they had received refunds while others were waiting for their refunds.
It feels like a lot of these small corpos really have merch ops as an afterthought. Corpos, please don't take money until and unless you know you can deliver the products.
As I'm typing this, I'm seeing the poll and the following discussion be deleted from the channel for some reason, but the poll had gotten up to 0 yes and 40 no the last time I saw it.
I'm getting ready to stream after a major thing interfered with my earlier prep IRL. I have local archives of these but would appreciate if someone could make ones here, or I'll do it after stream.
