>>73918908That's the best part: pretty much ALL of the current drama can be traced back to the fallout from her termination and the subsequent wave of negative sentiment towards NijiEN.
If Selen was still part of the branch,
>None of the chuubas would be bleeding subs/viewers>Luca's mod wouldn't have had such a golden opportunity to come forward and spill the beans about him>Most of the recent instances of Nijimembers getting oneguy'd and saying stupid shit wouldn't have happened>The Mario Kart tourney wouldn't have been delayed>Obsydia 3Ds probably wouldn't have underperformed so hard>The AR Live would have been way better received, because they wouldn't have had to cut out half of Pastel Stage just to unperson Selen (people would still mock the technical issues though)...And so on.
Considering all the stuff they had in the pipeline, by all rights this should've been an incredible year for Nijisanji EN—but then they had to go and carpet bomb their public image over ONE fucking rule infraction, and now all that effort is amounting to jack shit because their western fanbase evaporated overnight. It's honestly kind of astonishing how badly they mishandled the situation.
"Negligible", my ass.
