>>36196663Whore Lumi simply using her position of power to elevate the meta engagement and actor kayfabe of her kohai.
The pandering nature of the Shiina character revolves around the in built feminine revulsion to playing the "matronly" character for her fanbase. The appeal of the "matron" is in the "non-offensive, unchallenging, vulnerability permitting" character that runs directly counter to everything a single woman looking for the maximum return from a potential mate is interested in developing. There is nothing more denigrating to a female than being seen as "matronly" and this is Shiina's establishment of a "fuck you Im above your petty matronly interaction I don't NEED to put on this act" to help shield her own ego from the role she occupies within the company.
By firmly disclosing her own """real""" character she is able to brush off the burden of cultivating a delusional relationship dynamic that ultimately chips away at her own self perceived value outside of the production. Lumi understands these dynamics which is why she "baited" Shiina into saving herself.
You must never forget the predatory nature of these women they are worse than the most predatory of used cars salesman.
