>>70296929I mean it does. But I'll be honest up to the point of nepo hires I don't blame Elira for taking advantage of the company absolute incompetence. I would have done the same in her position.
Problem comes when it gets to abuse that power.
>Has she favored herself in the market?Make sense following the thread, but consider how many times she fucked someone over for her own gain. The Sanrio thing, there is no way Elira didn't know, Selen has never been reserved about it.
>The "family sentiment".The Nijifamily is utter crap and I would like to know who is enforcing it honestly. I admit it could easily not be Elira, but just look at the turnover, at the easy policy "hire and fire". Adding the bullying allegations that tells me 1000% NijiEN had to be a toxic enviroment to work in, all the red flags are there.
>The bullying of SayuSayu was canned because she wanted to change things. I will be fair, it could be from management, she does sound like a go-getter that doesn't take a no for an answer and knew JP. Either the incompetence or the clique could have gotten out, so they gave an absolute BS excuse to kick her out and her lack of bridges to make things fall in line.
I find hard to believe Elira had no call in that, if she was managing things for her and friends. It sounds easy to believe she collaborated in the canning, but I'll be fair and also add she could have simply done nothing and let her clash with management up to her termination. Still, both ways Elira had no intention to have things changed into something better.
>Selen's entire storyLet's start from one point rarely brought up, Selen misses a deadline and ask for assistance. Note no one really attacks her for that, which is weird to me, because you just missed a deadline. What's more worse is that this is a marketing deadline, so the company is losing money over this...where's the marketing department? The managers who would normally sweat to get this done? The guy who would call her to remind her of the deadlines? This is company money, even in JP heads would roll for this fuckup.
This tells me how things are really in NijiEN at that point: management is utterly incompetent and does the bare minimum, talents are left to deal with their own. Elira pulls her and her friends weight so well they don't feel the need to work things, which turns everything into one simple rule: nothing gets done without Elira. Again, this is not an hostile power takeover, I'm trying to be fair, but pretty much this is the clique existing. Something like that can form innocently but creates an HUGE disparity between who is in and who is out. It takes one member of it to be a bitch and the bullying can easily exist.
I don't fully believe the bully to be Elira, surprisingly. I think it was Enna and Millie instead, wanting Ethyria to be bigger than Obsydia, for obvious reason. Selen wants to constantly excel, this is where the APEX predator comment is placed.
So Selen never gets help from the clique as it's decided she's out. She constantly bothers management who is used to the "Elira model" and it's now bothered by her. Millie we know has never been friendly with her, and Doki blocked her immediately. I don't even think this is a rrat, Millie knew Selen was out and never lost a moment to harrass her, Probably the rest fell into the "group" mentality and participated the harrassment, including Vox, who is an ass and probably thinks in his mind that was "friendly banter" or some shit, thus his infamous retarded take on the situation.
Selen wants out, just like many before her, and focuses on an MV to get things done. You will never, ever, ever convince me no one knew about this before the 24th. We have proof it takes months for MVs to come out in Niji. Elira in all chances decided to never do anything about the bullying, not wanting to punish her friends for someone out, and neither helped with the MV at all.
This is where the previous 'nothing gets done without Elira' comes back. Management expects Selen to change their own diapers, so they very possibly got the permits but never made a point of checking them out before the 24th. All evidence prove they exist. Selen sends the final copy on the 24th. She promised her fans multiple times this is gonna be a Christmas MV, and she's gonna graduate shortly, this is the MOST important thing to her and probably her mental sanity, as she worked hard all this time for it.
We know what happens, management tries to fuck her up, she still posts the video deciding her fans are more important. The morons privatize it and probably give her a reprimand belitting her. Millie sees what happened and decides to add some back comment, an absolute alpha bitch thing to do, but I will admit she may have not realized how bad things were. Allegedly, but very possibly, Vox adds to the plate....
