Contradictions in the black screen video

No.69249826 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
The livers made verifiably false statements about the privating of Selen's cover that are contradicted by their own evidence.

At 4:54 in the black screen video, Vox Akuma makes the following statement:
>she released her cover without giving management time to check it, and as a result, it needed to be made private
>it was going to be made public again once the checks had cleared
>management absolutely intended to let her release the cover
>once they had made sure it was okay to release
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o65VwnQvWW4&t=294s

However, these statement are contradicted by the message from management to Selen sent at 12:30:34 JST, attached in picrel, which reads:
>The video is set to private until I got [sic] confirmation.
>There is also chance [sic] you might need to adjust it before setting to public again.
This is a blatant contradiction. They did not intend to unprivate the video once routine checks had occurred, but instead, management planned to force Selen to make changes to it before they would allowed it to go public. This would force Selen to go back to her animators and pay them even more money to edit the video to suit management's whims.
>b-b-b-but they just said there might be a chance!!!
Look, if you've ever had a job, you'd know that when a manager tells you "there's a chance you might have to" do something you highly dislike, 99% of the time that means you're absolutely, incontestably required to do it. It's just management speak designed to soften the blow, along the lines of "ummmm yeah Peter, I might need you to come in on Sunday too, m'kay?".
But even if we take these statements "at face value", it still contradicts Vox's statement. There was never any plan to make it public at some later date, and they certainly did not "absolutely intend to let her release it", they literally told her she might have to change it. At the very least it should get you asking: "If management always planned to release the cover, why did they ever suggest the opposite to her?".

This is a serious issue. If the livers cannot be trusted to accurately communicate the contents of their own evidence, what reason to we have to believe anything else they have to say? The fact they would release something with such an obvious contradiction deeply undermines their credibility, and suggests that their interpretation of all of the other events they recount has been similarly massaged to fit their narrative. Even if you are heavily inclined to give Nijisanji and their livers the benefit of the doubt, this should have you asking questions. What other critical details are being omitted? Are there any other messages between management and Selen that haven't been posted but might add critical context? And if the livers are willing to simply gloss over something as significant as this, what are they glossing over in their retelling of their actions in the events leading up to Selen's suicide attempt?
We are not getting the full story by a long shot.
