Thanks! It's always nice hearing about wild rear end drama I have nothing to do with and that makes the entire thing funnier
basically instead of letting selen leave in a neutral fashion, because she got legal representation, they decided they could not allow an uppity employee to go unpunished and fired her(she found out when they tweeted out the termination notice!) and then doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down day after day. Including having three of their top talents(and selen's "friends") read out a half hour long smear campaign livestream simultaneously alongside the first livestream back that selen/dokibird was having, and she had to stop the stream to discuss with her lawyer.

This resulted in all of the nijisanji talents losing tens of thousands of subscribers across the board, the nijisanji share price dropping over seven hundred yen which wiped out over a year's worth of profits, Goldman Sachs making a statement trying to calm investor fears, and the ceo of nijisanji making a statement about the situation, which is never a good thing to have to do.

It is the sort of situation that has pierced the veil of vtuber discourse and people unfamiliar/barely familiar with vtubers have started talking about it like moistcritikal, and there is a lawyer who weighed in on it to say "not only was everything nijisanji has done unprofessional in every way, but they have likely broken multiple international laws by sharing personal, legal, and medical information of selen's with other talents(for the smear campaign) and this entire thing will likely become part of legal textbooks of What Not To Do in the future", that's how badly they hosed up.

tldr: oppressive company tried to stomp out an employee for standing up for herself, blows off their own arm in the process. They lost at this point nearly 200 million dollars because they couldn't let an employee leave amicably.

selen/dokibird is doing better now though, I'm real happy for her. She has turned her schedule "stream" into a mental health charity fundraising drive and has raised nearly forty grand already.
yeah!

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

wait, are you telling me that barons cyber skull was in the right, and Victoria Brightshield is actually a corporate bootlicker who was part of an unprofessional smear campaign against a fellow vtuber/coworker? or am I just lost? in your original post you made it sound like barons cyber skull was being a weirdo and Victoria Brightshield had done nothing wrong. I feel like i'm gonna need hbomberguy to make a four hour video on this saga for me to understand this one post you made in the tweets thread

I think BaronsCyberSkull was attacking a new employee who was not involved in the drama but is involved with the company that started the drama.

So their heart was in the right place but their rage was not as effectively directed as it could have been.

I think I got that milord Cyberskull thought he was dumping on someone who participated in the smear campaign, but didn't, but was/is employed by the Very lovely Company and so was guilty by association?

victoria brightshield is just one employee of hundreds under that company, she is not involved, but randos(in this case BCS) are going after EVERYONE in the company for merely existing because of the selen tatsuki situation. only five people are known to be involved(Millie and Enna were named in the documents, Elira, Vox, and Ike were part of the smear campaign)

honestly I would LOVE an hbomberguy video about the situation once it peters out, since a lot of the breakdowns of everything online right now are incomplete or not entirely informed. like the moistcritikal video is a pretty decent view from an outside perspective but it's also 9 days old and poo poo has continued to happen.

literally just guilt by association. it'd be like going after a coca cola delivery guy because coke is a heinous company

It should be noted that the terminated talent has never once mentioned publicly that she was bullied by other talents, ever. The company just threw all her coworkers under the bus unprompted, causing a witch hunt on the internets

My grandaunt used to travel a lot - including but not limited to to Esperanto conferences - and she'd send postcards with a greeting in Esperanto at the bottom (Korajn salutojn! or something like that?) and when one came in with the other mail, whoever went to get it would go "hey everybody, Korgin Salutoin sent us another postcard!" and for some loving reason the basically-not-even-a-pun stayed alive until she died. Thanks for reading and Korgin Salutoin.
