>>105608902Oh, would you look at the time, it's Devil's Advocate O'clock:
Elira was physically in Japan at the time, and on a work visa, so there's a pretty goddamn high chance she was acting under duress. Not doing it would have gotten her fired, and she would have had 90 days to either find a new sponsor for her work visa or return to Canada - and depending on the verbiage of her work visa, she might have needed to become an agency vtuber specifically (or at least in some sort of vtuber-adjacent job) in another Japanese vtuber agency, and Anycolor would have enforced the 180-day non-compete clause against her.
To say nothing about Japan's anti-defamation laws. The act of telling her manager that she does not want to engage in targeted harassment against someone who just got out of the hospital after an attempt brought about by targeted harassment, might have run afoul of those laws - remember that they said Selen had damaged their reputation by claiming that the MV had been privated by management instead of herself, just one paragraph after admitting that management had privated her MV. She would have risked getting sued into destitution and imprisoned for up to three years for simply wanting not to do the black screen.
And all that permanent damage she would have had to do to her career in order to avoid doing the black screen? Possibly getting sued and arrested if applicable, and almost certainly losing her work visa? That sacrifice would have been in vain, since someone else (most likely Petra) would have been voluntold to do the black screen in her place.
