>>76351711The chat riot was insane to watch in real time. It was obviously a per-recorded video and the mods had no intention of sweeping it up. You could see the wave of disbelief when the Selen slander started. Up until this stream Elira was viewed as completely blameless. Enna was always the one who was cunty in public, but people forgot who brought her into the branch.
Don't think it dawned on Elira until later on that she destroyed her career. The Niji EN organs spend a lot of time in the discord server Elira runs. They only interact with each other and live in a bubble. They felt completely in the right with everything that went on and genuinely believed that they could turn public sentiment around if people heard their side of it.
>>76351850Riku didn't make them do anything. Elira and crew did this on their own. She runs the EN branch and thought this was a good idea. They probably helped Riku in the long term since they became a target for hate and took pressure off him. EN could graduate everyone tomorrow and it would barely effect Niji as a whole. The financial news sites that covered this story noted that EN is only 15% of Niji's revenue.
>>76351998Good point. Elira in panic mode thought Selen would try to expose their bullying to the public. They were expecting another Sayu. When she just took the high road they were left holding the bag. Even if Doki wanted to be vindictive, the wider vtuber community did a better job tearing Niji EN apart than she could have done on her own. A bunch of normalfag drama channels got involved in this scandal. The GURRAT was 4 view drama streams withing two days of the first threads about it here. Everything hit the stratosphere pretty quickly once the termination letter was published.
