> During this period of time, Pippa and Lia became positively obsessed with /pcg/ while Tenma, Uruka, and Iori developed a seething hatred of us.> Eventually Tenma becomes slightly more positive towards 4chan but that happens later.> This is important because when Pippa announced she using her nepohire on Rye, only Lia supported her> Tenma, Uruka, and Iori were against hiring Rye> Nasa and Michiru were neutral> Tenma would cyberbully Rye at random times throughout the day by calling her and asking her questions like:> "Why do you hang out with registered sex offenders on /k/"> "If you bring these people in our community I will make your life a living hell. Bitch">Rye wanted to redebut as another bread-themed vtuber>Rye and Panko are both breadThis is indisputable
>Aviel offered Rye a better deal and she ditched Phase>Aviel and Rye had a falling-out later but that's a story for another time>The fallout from Rye's departure caused Phase Gen 2 to be delayed by 6 months>Everyone agreed to hide this embarassment by blaming artists for menhera moments as a plausible cover story>Every artist who heard this story thought they were talking about a different artist>Fishman pushed several girls through an accelerated interview process to replace Rye(Panko)>These included British Panko, Australian Panko, and Italian Panko>All of Gen 1 voted to hire Italian Panko except for Pippa who abstained out of spite for losing Rye(Panko)Uruka confirmed that she voted for Panko
>Uruka wanted to lose her lewdtuber award and getting the even lewder Panko in the company was the best way to do it>This is why Pippa ignored Gen2 for months after debut but was chummy with Hina from Gen3 right away.> This makes Italian Panko the 13th member and the 3rd non-nepo, non-poach member of Phase Connect after Pippa and Erina>The Gen 2 delay caused Phase Gen 1 EN to grow and this turned out to be good for the company>Remi and Panko eventually joined the Tenma Wing of Pippa's faction (opposed to the Lumi Wing of Pippa's faction) while Erina remained mostly alone but that's a story for another post
