>>84608505He used English to address it because it was an EN issue, but that doesn’t mean the whole stream wasn’t directed at the investors.
Riku didn’t apologize for how they treated Selen, didn’t apologize for firing her, didn’t apologize for how they handled her termination, and didn’t apologize for the harassment. He didn’t apologize to the EN community, he only apologized for worrying the investors.
You just have to look at the script to notice it was a quick and lazy translation with how awkwardly everything was worded. If they were really trying to apologize to the EN community, they would have done it differently. Jesus fucking Christ, if he wanted to give a proper apology he wouldn't have given the OK to the black frame stream in the first place.
And no, there’s no way EN management did that stream without full approval from the JP side.
>EN management doesn’t really exist>Elira, Vox, and Ike were in Japan when they did the stream, so they had to use Anycolor’s offices to record the video>Elira claimed that everything they were about to say was approved by management>Management posted a tweet right after the stream to clarify that Vox didn’t read confidential documents, so they were closely watching the community’s reaction and were ready to take action to control the narrative>Elira’s stream was done before Riku’s, and they would have delayed or canceled the whole thing if they thought the black frame stream would contradict the company’s next messageRiku's apology and the black frame stream were a coordinate attempt to destroy Selen, calm down the investors and pretend that the company cared about their talents.
