>>85826042I disagree. It was not the Selen thing in isolation that fucked NijiEN, it was a slow boil of a series of missteps that converged into a MEGA MONUMENTAL FUCKUP, one which depended on a parlay of THIRTEEN (13) consecutive mistakes to pay off
>the "all out war" leak>NijiEN Zaion termination "manifesto">Yugo "graduation" (in bad terms) >the "pretending to be 4chan" NijiEN collab>Mysta (or was it Vox) disclosing the 2% merch cut>Selen (high on Vicodin) clarification stream when she got banned from organising company wide tournaments (the one with "elephant in the room", "rip the bandaid right off")>Millie getting all pissy because "Nijisanji is" autocompleted to "a black company" and the subsequent "Nijisanji is NOT a black company" stream>Selen getting her cover yanked by management on Christmas Eve after (she believed) getting permission to be released, and subsequent Twitter meltdown>Millie dropping by the twitter thread to ask "are you sure you're not just a retarded bitch? management wouldn't yank it for no reason" (by any other words)>Pomu members stream complaining about missing on the biggest chance of her career and subsequent graduation>Selen having to beg for money on RM to make rent>Selen attempting to epstein herself and ensuing drama and termination>Black screen streamIf three or four of these didn't happen the intensity of the blowback wouldn't be the same but ALL OF THEM happened so it culminated in the perfect storm.
Now, VShojo. They lined up the NuxTaku thing with the kson "no downsides" thing with the defections to Mythic thing with the Nazuna thing with the Froot-Silvervale "TERF game" thing with the subsequent Kson thing...
It still didn't payout but they're surely lining LOTS of the ducks in a row and antagonising lots of people in the process and, if right now nothing points out to a bigger drama, you could say the same when Selen dropped her "elephant in the room" Vicodin-laced stream
