>>58363213I don't personally care about the artist or TCP. I just hate seeing dumb kids who aren't 18 so shouldn't be posting here spread conspiracy theories based on their lack of understanding of how the world works outside of high school.
Managers are retarded, organizations are large, and companies take their public images very seriously if they hope to remain successful and profitable. The more people understand this, the less likely they will be to fall for dumb propaganda pitting the average waggie against one another. A freelance artist has no reason to be protected as hard by the company unless they truly fucked up and want to ensure they don't burn bridges with any of their other talent present or future. TCP did good here, I don't mind giving them credit all things considered when they actually admit they fucked up instead of pinning the blame on an external source. I can assure you that internally they were sweating bullets and hoping the first statement would be enough, that's why they didn't even release the second one in any language other than Japanese - where the artist's reputation matters the most since that's their future job opportunities at stake.
