>>86092003>I have to question how much influence this board had on her firingNone whatsoever, else they would have heeded the warning in picrel and reinstated her once she got out of the hospital and let her say goodbye to Pomu, or at the very least allowed her to quietly graduate like she had asked.
The black screen would not have happened, the livers would not have been and still be hemorrhaging subs, Hex might not have left, Kunai definitely would not have left and would probably have hit 100k in the summer, whoever is next in the queue might not have turned in their graduation paperwork, Denauth would not have flopped on debut, the AX concert would not have been cancelled for lack of ticket sales, and Niji EN would not have become a pariah/laughingstock in the western vtuber community.
They could have avoided all of this. They were warned that punishing Selen for being upset that they had intentionally ruined her Christmas would be an incredibly bad idea.
They'd still be in decline, but it would have been a continuation of the "ordinary, routine, and unremarkable ILS approach" decline they were having for much of 2023, instead of the self-inflicted "final two minutes of the R-101's flight through that thunderstorm" decline they've been having since February 12.
