Now that you have this thread, is Pippa autistically arguing with her chat on stream a Phase Connect L or a Phase Connect W for the audience? Her having really weird/bad opinions sometimes creates unrivaled entertainment.

I hope it's not too heartbreaking when it graduates (Sakana eats it).
I'll go back Jelly when he does...

Please don't tell me he eats monkeys as well

A W because that means everything is going as normal.

I can assure you that suspension of your professional license, during which time you cannot earn money via your normal business, is 100% doled out as a punishment in the legal profession by bar discipline committees.
Fair enough but that's a rather different situation - the relationship between a licensing body and a licensed person is rather different from that between an employee (even one you pretend is a contractor) and their management. It's by no means something that happens in every job which is what you said.

To be clear, "modeling" is a euphemism here. It's a non-nude porn video.

I have a pretty good idea what kind of video it is (haven't watched it and won't) but I figured "modeling' was an easier-to-understand explanation than "non-nude porn," whatever that means (and nobody but degenerates knows what "gravure" is).

Huh what? No they don't, not for professional jobs in developed countries. You can be written up, you can be fired, you can maybe be demoted which would come with a pay cut but only if you've been promoted in the first place, suspension happens during an investigation but not as a punishment, and always on full pay. Monetary punishments make it too easy for bullying and coercion to happen, so they're either straight up illegal or open an employer up to so much liability that they might as well be.

Haven't you ever screwed up at a job (and/or showed up drunk, sick, tired, not dressed appropriately, etc) and been told to clock out early and sent home by your manager? It's a pretty common thing in service industry jobs where the employees tend to be lacking in life experience and/or ability to not make bad decisions, which certainly has parallels to the world of vtubing.

Anyway, since we're here, we might as well start up the rrat engines… was she done dirty?

I've come around to the idea that something was fucky wucky about the whole thing on PC's side and their hands aren't entirely clean but I won't even try to guess how exactly. I hope we hear the full story some day but I won't keep the light on for it.

Doxing yourself as a white girl like that. Have you learned nothing about opsec?
Fuck, hope you don't find my Youtube channel. I'm actually very self conscious about the way I say "CHYYAAAT," it's very distinct.

On a completely unrelated note, you should buy yourself some professional quality coffee beans from the Official Phase Connect Store™️. I'm very partial to the Kaneko Lumi flavour, I reckon you'll like it too. Buy here now!!! https://shop.phase-connect.com/coll...ustom-roast-coffee-beans-kaneko-lumi-inspired

Nice try, Lumi is a slav, not a white girl.

been told to clock out early and sent home by your manager?
Technically yes (well not the clocking out part, I've never been hourly), but only as a prelude to an attempted illegal firing, it's not something I've ever seen a competent manager do. Indeed one time when I did screw up and offered to go home I was explicitly told not to, that that wasn't policy.
It's a pretty common thing in service industry jobs where the employees tend to be lacking in life experience and/or ability to not make bad decisions, which certainly has parallels to the world of vtubing.
On the one hand yes, but aren't those exactly the kind of jobs where bullying/favouritism/coercion is rife? I guess the idol industry doesn't have great employment relations norms either, maybe low end service jobs are the right analogy and we shouldn't expect vtubing to be like a white collar workplace, but IMO suspensions aren't something to hold up as normal and good.

I don't think Yuri was done dirty here. The exact opposite - as far as non-amicable graduations go, Yuri's was arguably handled the best of any vtuber. She got to record a goodbye message for the fanbase (a clever way to give some closure to fans without risking the talent going rogue while on-stream), and the only thing said about her termination by Sakana was that it was a contract dispute and that Yuri had rights as a former employee to privacy as to what occurred. There was no attempt by Phase to poison the well in case Yuri wanted to try applying to another corpo. None of the other talents, as far as I can tell, feel like her leaving was unjust or unfair, so Sakana must have been extremely reasonable with his contract negotiations, or, as the rrats of the time speculated, Yuri had some serious problems she did not want to negotiate for in her new contract.

The only issue is that Yuri lost the rights to her character and model, which was not a good look at the time. However, Yuri had no problem with the arrangement when Sakana negotiated her initial contract. Still, I'm glad Phase has changed how they handle Invaders IPs after to avoid any future potential optics issues there.

No other talents at Phase stuck up for Yuri after her graduation. For a group as outspoken as Phase, I can't imagine that not a single talent would not say anything in her defense if she had been wronged. Second, Yuri has seen some prominent talents turning attacks on their character into their own PR wins, like Doki and Sayu. If she had a similar story she could have easily parlayed that into her own PR win but she has not. If Phase had actually treated her poorly, she must have treated Phase so much worse in return.

Yuri was too fat for phase.
Sakana: We couldn't come to an agreement on the contract.
The Contract: Lose some weight, fatty.

I go to sleep for nearly 18 hours after staying up for nearly the last 24 on flood watch duty and I wake up to this.

Posting that on her work account was really dumb. If she has a problem with people making jokes or expressing dislike for trans then just delete the original tweet. I feel like her politics should have been a bit more obvious to people with her outspoke love of Tumblr sexyman Loki.
