>>87601591Assuming they didn't take initiative themselves to do the black screen, which I believe they did, given they just shotgunned Riku at the knees with his prepared statement. Just like Nazis and Republicans claiming 'they were just following orders', 'or following out of fear', Elira, Vox and, that guy with the water bottle, I forgot him already, all made the choice to collaborate with evil. They could have have said 'no, we're not going to smear Dokibird' and refuse to take part of the black screen. But they did. So even if you want to say it was Management and they the Nazis, Elira and company, at best, are the Vichy French. And before you say they didn't have a choice, you did see some dissidence from within too, like Scarle refusing to retweet the black screen and then favoriting a comment that read 'kurosanji', and she's still around.
She's still bleeding out subs like everyone else, but when people look back at the history of NijiEN when it's consigned to the trans bin of history, people like Scarle will be vindicated.
I personally believe it was this

The data doesn't line and there's no reason Pomu should get less merch when she much more profitable. And they outright told Selen she wasn't getting sponsorships for the year because she was 'brand risk'
And we know Elira had some hand in railroading sponsorships away from Selen because the moment Selen got thrown under the bus, HYTE terminated their sponsorship with NijiEN (Where they were forced to make PC cases of Elira and her clique instead of Selen) and they immediately went to support Dokibird.
