>>75332159one of Selen's last members posts were how Niji told her that she wouldn't be allowed any sponsorships in 2024 because she was unmarketable and a brand risk, and how she'd have to work much harder to earn that right. It's also something she's mentioned several times, and was likely either drilled into her head by Nijisanji, or simply magnified tenfold.
"I can't sing, and I'm not a great entertainer. I always thought I wasn't marketable."

(HYTE being the one we can pretty much confirm was initially for Selen, but I'm still very, very doubtful they wanted to pick fucking Maria or Fulgur over Selen to handle the razer collab).
