Just because it blew up in her face doesn't mean she didn't participate in planting a bomb.
What pisses me off is that between anycolor having clearly done this before, and every talent hopping up to retweet, the follow up apology, this was a JP management call, and a JP management plan, all responding to a situation that JP management caused by having a skeleton crew in EN, while they line their offices in play buttons and bricks of merch money.
Elira can't just say "I was following orders" and absolve herself of having participated, and she's a dumbass for believing JP management (who both made the interpretation mistake and decided this was a proper response)
But JP management have been sucking all the money up in gross ways, getting fat off it, care nothing for who makes it, could have de-escalated at any time, chose to escalate instead, sent the whole beleaguered, unsupported branch into the front lines to put the only thing they actually get to keep at that damn company (their reputation) on the line to take MAYBE some heat off of their fuckups as management.
What Elira participated in was shitty, but what Anycolor did is the kind of example you use to teach writers not to make their villain so comically evil no one would believe it. Elira is smegol, Riku is Sauron. I'm not saying people shouldn't be pissed, for my personal estimation it should be a 20/80 split weighted heavily towards anycolor. They did it before, they'll do it again way after Elira is just a footnote in a wiki.
