Y'know in kind of a fuck up way, assuming we do look at it this way, he's basically just showing himself as different part of the schizo crowd in that instance. Like if he genuinely is trying to white knight that hard for some lady who is literally praising how much better things got where she works and how happy she is there then he's just a different end of the crowd he wants to rile up because "it's funny."If any one is expecting nick to pull up now he past the last warning sign awhile barring a personal tragedy or a long overdue epiphany he's probably going to believe that he did nothing wrong and Pippa's isn't angry phase is just muffling her/The schizo fans are turning her against him because it's the easiest thing on his ego, and at this point there is no short term gain to admitting he was wrong.
I guess you could argue "Well of course she says she's happy! Company mandated" but the issue is Pippa's always been pretty up front about whether shit at Phase currently sucks or not. In fact a couple of the girls have. It's not like Niji or VShojo where the girls who weren't happy side step shit or PR talk it. Tenma's argued with literally anyone in a position there: Mods, management, the fish himself. There's also the influx of invaders who have been open about stuff, most notably Lumi and Dizzy. And Ember is proof talking of how fucked Tsunderia was compared to Phase. Phase is actively memed as the sad girl place because a lot of them sound like it's their happy place away from real life being a trashfire.
I really don't want to have to believe this guy is so damn stupid that he can't comprehend the idea of why fucking with the perceived op-sec of someone like a vtuber (ESPECIALLY one who goes out of their way to try and hide it, not like people showing up with name tags at cons) even as a joke is seen in a bad light. And this is twice as true to me when his argument is "These people are fucking nuts bro they would do crazy shit for their "ohshee" if they knew her or where she was." but goes out of his way to refuse seeing why riling those people up might be retarded in the first place.
But it's massively difficult to call it otherwise by this point.
... Actually amusing point that just popped in my head, but uh.. when was the last time I had to hear about how Pippa betrayed someone again? How they just wanted what was best for her but THE COMPANY (or mods) were in the way and turning her against them? It's also annoying how his end are the ones dragging it out mostly. Pippa cut the ties. It's irrelevant what he says or feels now. She saw what they did and noped out because apparently the person in question herself found what was done some level of fucked enough to actually stop being a stepping stool for once.
Get over it and go about your business balldo. The only reason to even have this show up as a topic anymore is if you're desperate to keep harping about it for attention. The other half of the party gave up and moved on.
