Excuse me, WHAT? This is the first time I'm hearing about Mel's manager grooming her, what exactly happened?My rrat is that he tried to groom IRyS but he ended up getting the boot before he could pull a Mel's manager

That's not what I'm talking about. His politics legitimately changed. He's putting much more importance on family and community, and rejects a lot of the social media trends and calls out basically anything that strays from the straight and narrow path from 100 years ago.There is an argument to be made that post-2015 politics has shifted the overton window in such weird ways principles from core liberal theory are now considered ultra-conservative, like meritocracy and judging people based on their own actions and not the stereotypes of whatever groups they belong to.
Carl does his "liberals, amirite?" podcast to Gen Xers who were probably shoved out the overton window themselves within the past 10 years, I don't hate him but I'm not really interested in his political analysis.

I choose to see this as a sign of an ongoing process rather than any decision having already been made

I didnt knew of vtubers back when the drama happened so im not gonna call this bullshit but if you can find proof of this it would be very appreciatedThey scraped this report off the site btw. The link gives error 404. Also if my memory serves me right what Mel said about it is a very different story from this. They essentially told her to fuck off, they will not fire him, and if she goes public with it she will tarnish her reputation forever. It reached the point where he wasn't just grooming but outright asked for sexual services and she went nuclear, disregarding any potential consequences and fully prepared to sacrifice her career to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else again. At this point Cover was big enough where they couldn't sack her before it's too late and they had to frantically scramble some kind of PR response. This whole shitfest is why she set for herself the support role and is often mentioned as "everyone's first collab partner". She would rather help others than diverge the focus to herself, as it gave her nothing but trouble
Did Mel's Rm say this or something? I doubt she would have said it outright unless she did and there's a record of it somewhere.They scraped this report off the site btw. The link gives error 404.

From what I remember of that time, wasn't that when Cover still had a lot of managers and overall middle-management directly hired from the regular idol industry?I didnt knew of vtubers back when the drama happened so im not gonna call this bullshit but if you can find proof of this it would be very appreciated

Its just an announcement with valid speculation behind it man, no need to be kinda dramatic about it and call every non-negative idea "muh cope", its kind of what happens whenever a vauge corpospeak shit happens, could always swing both waysTheories about lost luggage or Iranian superhackers are just cope. Come to terms with it now, and the shock from the official announcement won't hurt as bad.
You're right I should just believe anything someone says on the internet not matter who they are, got me there...What, you guys don't trust the words of Hero Hei or Narukami?? Why not?
do you really want to trust the proto dramatubersWhat, you guys don't trust the words of Hero Hei or Narukami?? Why not?

People from there are practically trained from the start to look the other way with anything sexual/illegal.
Mari bros not like this@SandyCat, just to be safe... your verdict?
