Selen is trying to deflect with her "merit based point system" from the real issue, where who get outfits and who doesn't is unequal system with more popular members getting them and less popular don't. There is only three reasonable metrics for having merit points assigned - how much time has passed, how much money you earnt for the company, and how much you shilled for it by promoting/participating in company events. Two of which heavily skew towards members with more pull, and time pass would result in all members getting outfits at the same time. If you are in Holo you know you will get outfits at the same time as everyone else in your gen and they are usually going to fit the same theme. Regardless if one member in your gen has 10 times your subs or not.
She is trying to pretend that there is a difference between "I work a lot, get paid and then spend some of it on outfit" and "I worked a lot for a company and some of my payment cut is spent on outfit instead of being put into a company pocket". In both cases if you have a lot of money earnt you can get a lot of outfits. Or you can spend them on something else. And if you don't, then you can't spend them on outfits, because you don't have money or merits. It does create a system where you can't spend all of your money on them, but then again your manager will stop you from doing so regardless
