I do mostly agree with this. The only reason I'm skeptical on fully agreeing is because if he hasn't totally done so yet, he's at least already CONSIDERED fucking up what he has going for him.I think if Pippa left there's going to be a lot more problems than that. Pippa has referred multiple people to Phase Connect, not to mention her plugs, raids, collaborations, and genmates helping each other. She's going to have great relationships with a lot of the company. And if their biggest streamer and likely biggest money-maker isn't feeling appreciated by PC, the rest of the group are definitely going to start wondering if they are better off elsewhere too, not to mention how bad a look it that would be for Phase Connect as a vtuber company. No, Fishman is going to bend over backwards to keep her in the company.
-He's over wrangled before which gave us a stream of pure soul crushing lack of enthusiam from Pippa where she was dead inside. She's also mentioned some instances of behind the scenes back and forths.
-We already know that the way he ran things before hiring Muumi was dragging the whole company down.
-Even with that, we've still had some issues with shutting down what some talents want. It's one thing to say "Sorry can't do it" but it's another to string something along and say "I'm seeing about it" then ghosting the entire issue like with Riketa. Which while I still think would have been fun, I kind of see both sides here on. The guy himself isn't really a problem, but he's definitely scoped out by crazies as "bad side of the internet maybe we should cancel him." type stuff.
-Now this recent carpet bomb of potential word bans and more wrangle attempts. Of which nobody even seems to be able to figure out what needs reigned in except schizo containment breaches and /here/ references.
So in truth I'm hesistant to think he won't fuck up. We alrady have more than one talent at least a little bit reserved, and typically the only reason I think there is to mention "If it's too far I'll leave" on stream is if it's something you think needs put out there. If it's the top earner you're referring to, then it's even more notable.
Yeah that's why at first I wasn't sure, but I think Tenma would consider it writing on the wall if her friend got screwer over by their current company. Even though I don't think she does any real risky content. @DelusionTree at the other place said Tenma mentioned on stream that if Pippa goes she goes, but I can't personally remember if she did or not. It wouldn't shock me at all and with years of being buddies she seems the type.Tbh that surprises me about Tenma but at the same time I can believe it. The reason it surprises me is because out of all of them, hell even more than Holo, she seems very professional. She has talked about it briefly before but it's why she doesn't get too chummy with too many of her coworkers, because to her it's a job and something she enjoys but that's it, it's not some second life for her. Which I respect a lot. But I can see where she would at least be close enough with Pippa because from what I understand they knew each other previously and kinda came into the company together, they have a good friendship. Also I think she is smart enough to realize if they'd go fucking with the content of their #1 streamer they'd surely have no issues fucking with the content of #2 and so on as well, so if it would reach that point I think she'd prefer to maintain creative control as much as possible. And since she is frankly one of the most motivated talents PC has I think fishman would be retarded to risk losing both her and Pippa just so he can tardwrangle chat harder and appeal to, what again?
I think Fishman has to fuck up big to lose most of the girls honestly. Pippa, Tenma by relation, Lumi due to similarities, and Yuri following Lumi are my only real bets. I think the rest would probably be mostly chill about whatever. Lia likely wants to tone herself down anyway considering her menhara habits. (This as someone who likes her lol.)Perhaps I'm too jaded, but most people would choose a comfortable job over friendships.
Tenma might jump ship if by any chance Pippa left, but I strongly doubt Lia would.
Maybe I'm not familiar with a lot of them but most of the other girls don't seem to do any "wild" content. Or rather, not of the "bad edgy internet" type. Maaaaybe Hime as a bit of a stretch?
The only one I even consider might think a little about what's going on despite probably not being affected is Shiina because she seems to type to keep a finger on the pulse of this type of shit. BUT I admit I haven't seen a lot so I might be full of shit there.
