The question is which came first accident or fat.
The Japan trip was between post-graduation Mika but pre-debut Michi. During that time she appeared under the name Kami (short for her alt Twitter name Kamiigoo which is now privated) in a stream playing Lethal Company with Tenjin and other ID VTubers in Jan 2024 and one month later she popped up in an Onigiri stream together with Matara in Japan. Based on what we know of the contract it stipulates that equipment paid by Niji has to be returned once the liver no longer works under the company. Pomu did the same as well when she said she no longer has a streaming PC during that time.
This is in line with other ID talents, is it not? ID liked its own branch management, but the issue was and has always been the JP side's fucked up attitude towards any non-JP members. Which is why the most interesting thing from the Raziel doc to me was always Luca's bizarre dinner meeting with JP upper management, who seem to be entirely separate from most of the rest of the company. Whoever he met in Japan was very likely the people who have been purposefully making so many people's lives hellish.
After looking through the clips and some of the vod myself, I'm actually kind of willing to believe that Elira is in the same boat that Michi was in. Some of Michi's description of her situation seems very... in line with the discrepancies that have consistently bothered me about this whole situation. Michi's description of how management alluded to things without outright saying them is 100 percent a bullshit management tactic straight from the playbook, for one. Michi wrote it off as her being paranoid and possibly misreading things and doing too much, but THAT is how black company lizard-men get good people to overwork themselves to death or do illegal things while keeping their hands clean. I've personally seen it maybe a half-dozen times, and I'm sure Japanese companies are even worse about it.
Anyways: when Michi was talking about how she felt somewhat responsible for keeping the branch afloat for other members stood out to me as well. Elira has some of her oldest friends in that company. The first ones who joined did so without telling her first. So you're pushing to keep your friends in management's good graces, because Millie is dumb and keeps pissing off management so you have to work really hard. You didn't even really want them here in the first place, but now contracts are signed and you're stuck for a while. And now certain purple BPD dragons keep pushing the envelope and you wish they wouldn't. And suddenly you hate each other in the same way that people apparently hated Michi. And then things get worse from there....
I'm not defending actions taken by NijiEN members before and after the SELEN INCIDENT(tm). But something has always stunk about this situation to me, it has seemed particularly out of character for some of the people involved (not all of them, but most). Now we have a bit more insight into why these decisions may have been made.
Competent managers and cutting the current amount of manager of managers in half would get them a lot of money, but that takes common sense to think of that.
They definitely seem bottlenecked at the top while they've also cheaped out on their Talent Interfacing management. Even for as lean as Vtuber operations can run, for the scale that AnyColor is at, they probably need a 1 Stream to 2 Support Staff ratio. That costs money, but they're completely unwilling to spend the money where it's needed.
Well that's what I mean. We might see some true info that's petty or mean, not exactly spicy. But their "my story" bullshit to get sympathy might pepper those truths with some claims of fake info that's spicy in nature. A lot of the people in NijiEN are twittertards and this is how they act.
Need to quote @Clown Penis post from Nolan thread:
For the sake of ease of understanding, his signature type of vapid, stream of conciousness live-reactslop should be referred to as Nolanposting. A post so shitty that it is distinguished from the other shitty posts by how rank and worthless it is.
The charity event mentioned should be this one, since a lot of niji IDs/ex participated in it as well
The big ones are not saying shit; they know there's no defense to this but they also wouldn't support an INdog who ran off with Mysta in the first place
He's one of them good ones in Noctyx alongside Alban Knox (who is still on his 'language learning' hiatus), since they more or less just doing what they do and doesn't really have crazy fanbase or behave like idiots. While Sonny is more or less okay, the shadow of his 'fake death' stuff back when he's Sketchek still haunts him, and we all know Uki's a fag whose entire personality is just being a bitchy gay man.
Mysta went for the indog pussy, not the other way around. If you want to shit on some SEAfag bitch, at least get it right.
Kek, I'm not shitting on Mysta or Mika, I'm saying it in the vein of how a sister would react.
It was him and Shu that were the main ones in the discord leaks shitting on holo.
IIRC he almost graduated after the leak
