>>74497435Pre-Niji Sayu was a primarily gacha streamer who joined Nijisanji in late 2023 as part of the xsoleil wave. She was a high 3view fluent in both english and japanese, but she didn't mesh will with the corporate structure and asked too many questions, butting heads with management too many times and got terminated with a scathing, drummed up list of bullshit. However, back then Nijisanji had a much better reputation so all of their charges "stuck," making her a complete pariah. All of the nijisanji fans believed them wholeheartedly and dogpiled on her, which got even worse since she was recently doxxed and started even receiving harassment in person. Quinn in particular (then Kyo) was caught being one of the people dogpiling on her, as well, which caused even more friction. Dramatubers would constantly shit on her, labeling her random shit from a mother of 2 kids to a pedophile to a rape apologist due to out of context clips of her jokes. For extra poison, Niji had all of her wavemates make videos denouncing her, to different degrees from each.
A bit later, Sayu released a document with her lawyer called "One Girl's Story" which clarified a lot of the dirty laundry that she dealt with during her few months in Nijisanji. It exposed a lot of awful crap like how they gave an untrained 2 week old hired manager to oversee her entire wave, to how the company has a habit of punishing people by forcing suspensions while skinwalking their accounts to say it was just a "health break" or "visiting family."
A few months later she returned to streaming, but she was pretty broken emotionally and a complete wreck. She had another breakdown during a late night stream and exposed a bit more about Niji, naming especially Finana and Kotoka as backstabbers who went the extra mile to twist the knife after her termination. During this, she also let slip that Nina specifically, who had recently graduated, was suffering from crippling self confidence issues in a private conversation they had, tearfully telling her that she was worth so much more than what Niji drilled into her. (If you've heard anything about Matara/Nina ghosting sayu, this is what they're referring to. She cut all contact after this for this statement, and until recently, Sayu's been desperately trying to apologize to Matara to no avail, though thankfully she seems to have finally moved on.)
She's been slowly building herself back up as a streamer since then, changing up her streaming content to be more variety focused, but she's stubborn, unfiltered, overly honest, and very attentive to chat, which leads her to be very, very prone to being baited by bad actors, who tend to twist her words to bring up more shit against Niji, as well as the sisters who've been harassing her near daily ever since her termination (recently she found out they were trying to dox her again, though thankfully they missed.)
After the whole Selen termination, people drew parallels and checked everything against her document, noting the similar stories, which immediately vindicated her to a lot of people who were now willing to give her a chance. She's been growing ever since, though she still gets regular antis targeting her.
