>>42832555JP yabs are mostly isolated instances that only affect whoever is involved in the yab, and even then sometimes they don't get much damage due to the lack of branch-wide interconnectedness.
e.g. Maimoto and Chaika went to bat for Meiro back during her yab, but they didn't really get much fallout for it.
Also if a JP Niji wants to stay away from certain livers, they have the freedom and built in rules to do that.
EN on the other hand, tried too hard to push the "family" angle, going into each others voice calls in the middle of streams, turning every solo stream into a collab, and generally trying to project a "unity" image. This worked for maybe the first 3 waves, but the male waves shredded their audience in twain, and it only got worse the more waves they debuted.
One aspect of this environment that they failed to consider, was that if a new niji recruit wanted to "stay clear" of certain people, this environment made it EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for them to do so. Random people can and would burst into your streams and try to make it about them unless you set strict boundaries, but doing something like that by itself would be considered as an "offense" against the "family" - as Zaion found out the hard way.
This interconnectedness also means that one person's yab becomes the entire fucking GROUP's yab. And so smaller issues that ought to have been handled between the streamer and their audience becomes giant fucking issues.
Also management. Fucking management should NEVER be bringing up shit like "jokes not suitable for Nijisanji talent". NijiJP livers having made literally every dark joke under the fucking sun over their careers, nobody gave a shit back then and nobody gives a shit now. The jokes are between the liver and their audience. There's no "nijisanji as a whole", there never has been, that was what they projected as their STRENGTH for most of their lifetime.
I fucking hope this is something that's only isolated to EN, but considering the IPO, I can only see grim tidings ahead for the company as a whole...
