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.
Given Yuri's pursuit to purposely stagnate her growth and subsequent rebrand from Nano to Kiba I have a feeling she wasn't attached to the the Yuri model anymore than she seems to be attached to any of her brandings which is to say not at allThe 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.
Yeah her backing phase against offkai did wonders to make me believe that whatever she did to get fired she holds no hard feelings about the punishmentShe was supportive of phase when they where getting fucked over by offkai so she doesn't hate phase as a whole even though they booted her ass. She hangs out with the cherry fox that is best friends with Pippa so they would have to be on okay terms.
While Life keeps handing her L's I'll take solace my Oshi has this 1 big WI feel like in the interests of not shitting on literally everyone (only the vast majority of people), I have never heard a bad word spoken about Shiina, Panko or Airi. In fact, everyone I've ever spoken to who has also interacted with Shiina says she's a lovely person and strenuously defends her from any accusations or hints of her being part of any problems in Phase.
Well he definitely doesn't like Lumi for some unknown reason on his year end stream, chat said something along the lines of Jelly and Lumi are great/based and his response was something akin to "I like jelly let's leave it at that"This is the worst type of vaguepost, because it can potentially imply that you have heard bad words spoken about literally everybody else from Phase.

It's interesting because the other phase girls have nothing but praise for her you'd think if she was actually a bad person they just wouldn't suck her dick so hardI've always maintained that there's something inherently off about Kaneko Lumi (and I don't mean that in the haha she's fucked up sense). Reading the rrats about her knowing Xalamon from before CL just cements my suspicions.

Yeah, this isn't on. If it were just once then I'd assume it was a bit of light ribbing since Pippa brainworming over responding to messages is well known at this point, but the fact it's happened multiple times comes off as unprofessional, and is great rrat fuel.Also lumi is ass mad about Pippa avoiding her hard and keeps bringing it up on streams to put pressure on Pippa. Really weird behavior can't she just ask a manager to poke Pippa about stuff.

There is a genuine possibility that the woman manager problem @The Proctor was talking about the other day is at fault here. Women are far more likely to be conflict-averse than men, so if there is an actual reason Pippa's not responding to Lumi beyond the usual brain hort, having a woman manager playing middleman won't achieve anything if the manager is just as quick to quietly avoid an argument that could cause hurt feelings as the talents involved are.You're assuming she hasn't.
Pippa is the fucking queen of avoiding contact. The longer she's avoided it, the harder it is for her to restart.
Be Pippa though, she probably gets thousands of dms from all sorts of vtuber wannabes. Back in the day sure it was probably easier to manage but now that really should be outsourced to a third party if it hasn't alreadyYou're assuming she hasn't.

It needs a firmer hand then on those managers perhaps. I think fishman needs a No.2 to act as the drill sergeant. Someone who is feared and respected rather than liked who can be used to whip the lower management for dawdling on these sorts of issues and hold them accountable.It's a tough situation to be in because a man's practical skills are a much better fit for management positions than a woman's emotional skills, but in this industry it would be nigh on impossible to find a man who is qualified for the job, willing to accept a lower salary than his skillset could earn him elsewhere, and isn't interested in working with a group of insecure and vulnerable young women for the wrong reasons.
From my experience getting dms from other female vtubers is super rare and it's at most just pussy footing around by sending memes to try and break the ice.Be Pippa though, she probably gets thousands of dms from all sorts of vtuber wannabes.

Conversely, Kevin could just pop back on a league lobby and find himself Mumi #2.
For those who did not watch yesterdays stream Pippa literally left an AI version of herself on read. The woman is borderline incapable of communication.You're assuming she hasn't.

Doki's manager who used to manage XQC said the same.I can't remember if I've stated this before, so apologies if I'm repeating myself. But I had some very long conversations with a vtuber manager who used to be an e-sports manager, and he said that after working for and interacting with names like Team Liquid and FaZe Clan, vtuber menhera was very easy by comparison. He did emphasize that the pay drop made it much more of a hobby thing than any sort of replacement, which he only got into after becoming financially successful elsewhere.
Maybe they have to suck her dick or else they'll end up like Yuri
