Why did Selen went back on her word to never address the situation? All of the stuff on stream could've been worded the way so the Selen Shock wasn't brought up at all. Like, 'we're good and we're friends, now let's have some fun, don't ask questions, respect our privacy'.
All the 'he apologized to me a year ago, he was misinformed, etc' parts could've been handled privately in DMs but no, they decided to go public with it.
My theory is that it was a premeditated anti-niji move (with a side goal to boost their popularity: for instance, Doki who stagnated at 887k subs went to 890k today) which started with Bari's doc which barely focused on Reimu but brought up a lot of more internal Niji stuff. All three of them: Bari, Ike and Selen planned this chain of events. I'll be really surprised if Ike won't say something like 'well, I thought about it and I decided to go back to streaming' in the following months. Betting on "Christmas Miracle".
Sloppa kinda related.
