For that argument itself the only circumstantial evidence we have is that Fishman doesn't treat all talents equal, in a sense not every one get supported like Lumi, Pippa or Tenma. Not in a meritocratic way, but in a "I guess you're the one starving" way.
If I had to make an educated guess, the new contracts are much more advantageous for Phase than the talents when compared to the ones who joined earlier, and this could come from Fishman noticing his own naivety and biting them in the ass as business usually go.
We would never know for sure without a talent burning their bridges and they might be happy with how little they gain from it. It's all about self-respect and awareness, I guess.
I don't know if I'd claim there was much favoritism at Phase Connect, beyond sponsors wanting to make use of more popular talents like the upcoming SWPN concert. The Gen 1 talents all have two models each, even the JP girls who are under 20K subs. All the talents get pretty good merch support for special events. Tournaments like Idol Showdown and Mahjong tournament have a mix of older talents with a lot of subs and newcomers with lower sub counts. And remember the con where they only wanted a few of the more popular talents, but Fishman gave an ultimatum that all the talents were invited or Phase Connect wouldn't attend.

You might be able to point at stuff like Rie having lots of covers compared to other talents, or Lumi having more models than other talents, but I think there's a lot of back-end work that gets traded for that. Anyway, we all know that Jelly is Sakana's favourite talent, but it doesn't really look like she gets anything above and beyond what the other talents get.

It's more about the other talents from worse regions, say, when was the last time Wemi and Muyu were involved with the company events?
He always says stuff like "Airi come to Canada", she probably makes 3 digits a year, could he really sustain that level of expense? It would be much easier to save the SEA creatures first and enhance their creative output to bring more money - you might not like it, but tackling the lolituber niche is something that could get Phase a hefty sum, just don't coombait like Aviel and you're good.

The way we can definitively tell who Sakana's favorite talent is by counting the number of times he insults or mocks them.

By this metric, Jerry is definitely in the running. :jellySlurs:

I mean what did you expect? Uruka has 37 cubs. She's clearly never used a condom. And Lia doesn't fuck. She just likes to watch 2D men fuck each other.

Does Phase have that many company events? Other than Phase wars and Phase showdown, I don't remember anything recent that's not con events. For them, Muyu attended Offkai and AnimeNorth, and Wemi was in Vexpo. She also had an event with Alias in Offkai iirc.

Shame barely anyone is in VSMP

I don't want to go back to the post where I saw it but some people may think we're a phase forum, jokingly or not, in part because of the dedicated Pippa thread. I just want to remind people that the Pippa thread isn't necessarily because Pippa is so beloved, but because the average capippi is so despised. They cannot keep her out of their mouths. She will retweet porn and that will become an entire page of discussion. They aren't getting special treatment, they are getting segregated. They are the ghetto of the asylum.

Fun place sometimes, but they don't mesh with the rest of the place, you know?

Mio's birthday live is in an hour! With a great guest list of Fubuki, Marine, Okayu, Korone, Polka, Towa, Pekora, Watame and AZKi:

Along with a members-only encore afterwards.

The video description has a simple but sweet message:
View attachment 76238

Love this faqing cute Hag wolf. Also that whole live was even better than expected, which from Mio is pretty damn good in the first place. I'm entirely convinced she missed being on stage as much or more than everyone missed seeing her up there. Just straight good music with good singers and a damn good guest list. As much as the situation leading to it was scary, I'm glad she's more confident in herself and her worth now.
