Seeing Nijisanji's downfall in realtime is something else man. How does a company fuck up THIS BADLY. Now I'm starting to get the feeling that Alban was actually being kinda serious when he joked about being broke that one time... Also not surprised tho. The red flags have existed for aaages. We've just been looking past em for the sake of our talents. Now that they themselves are showing how fucked up the company is to them though. The agency might as well be done for. It's a shame too, there's so many genuinely good people in the agency. Like Uki and Fulgur off the top of my head are some of the most supportive and kind internet celebs out there and you can tell they're genuine from their very mannerisms and how they treat other people at all times.
Might as well just let all of niji graduate at this point. Move on to Vshojo or Idol or literally anything else
Anyways all y'all dragoons go subscribe to Dokibird, she deserves the world for what that shithole of an agency did to her.

that anon wasn’t me but they are absolutely correct and i feel like i should give my two cents worth about all of this among the sea of hate towards the nijisanji livers. i’m not bootlicking the company, but i feel like it’s hypocritical for people to sent hate to the talents after doki said MULTIPLE times not to since she was also a victim of such behavior (and plenty of dragoons no longer even feel safe in her community because of the immense amount of people who are only there to harass and don’t even care for her) this is a rant that just shows that the issue is gray and that we’ll never really know what’s going on as outsiders
tell the remaining members to graduate because their fanbase will follow them is stupid, acting like they didn’t work their asses off to get where they are and haven’t invested so much in their current persona. ike, elira, and vox are some of the most popular talents so that it makes sense for anycolor to force them into making the stream. saying that vox doesn’t care about mental health after his charity stream and saying that it was just for show need to shut up because we’ll never how how he’s really feeling behind the avatar. elira specifically doesn’t deserve the disproportionate amount of hate and disgusting things she received from it from what was essentially revenge porn to art of her being abused, have these people not been taught that if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all? it costs NOTHING to spam hate on your private account instead.
while i agree that the 2% merch sales and 1/4 (after youtube) of the supas should be raised, that doesn’t mean that the livers aren’t making any money and are poor as several of them have mentioned being able to pay off student loans and have turned their lives around with the money. while it sucks that selen made no profit after investing 200k into projects, maria has mentioned before that covers were more of passion gifts to fans rather than something to make money off of (i DO think that they should be paid for their projects, but that’s just how it goes unfortunately). last cup of coffee was taken down because she didn’t have all of the proper permissions and rushed posting it as a sweet gift to fans, management had full intentions to put it back up.
accusing livers of being bullies based on speculations is idiotic as it just hurts innocent people in the crossfire. these may just look like anime women and men to you, but they are REAL PEOPLE and streaming for nijisanji is their main livelihood! have some empathy, it’s hurting their mental health (the mental health some “dragoons” seem to care about so much)
this goes to say, i am on doki’s side because NO ONE should have to go what she went through, but i just want to show that there are two sides to a coin. i think that nijisanji needs better management, to allow their talents more freedom and a higher percentage of merch sales/supas, and stop treating their livers like shit! stop the harassment and move on, it’s what doki has mentioned multiple times that she wanted! don’t be one of the reasons another liver may have to go what she went through because you have an irrational hate boner for the company
also stream mani / gilty x gilty by maria marionette, finana ryugu, POMU RAINPUFF, meloco kyoran, and kotoka torahime
guys this shit right here
This right here
We need to like post this everywhere bc holy shit people need to understand
You are 100% right!! I agree with everything you just said, esp the "graduate and get out of the company" because they really did bust their asses off to get where they are now and it's a childish way of thinking

In regards to being asked about the black company, Nijisanji, their allegations to having ties to Israeli money, and #SinkTheYacht
I'm disappointed in
seeing folks punish all Niji EN livers by collectively unsubbing when "sinking the yacht" would be more effective by reaching out to AnyColor Inc shareholders and partners about Nijisanji's admission of management & livers bullying and listing all the public facts surrounding why Selen was fired. The summary of facts are that Nijisanji has bullies in their team, has done nothing to remove said bullies, and they chose a sudden termination to hide the fact they let a liver attempt suicide from said bullies and didn't inform the public about it.
So I understand why people are unsubbing as a whole- why many creators, artists, and third parties have made it public they will no longer make, support, or sponsor Nijisanji.
But priority 1 is not mass unsubbing- that's what Nijisanji wants. They are made up of known bullies and they are now manipulating the public into being bullies. Instead of spreading the word to mass unsub- I encourage everyone stop spending money on official merch, do not collab with any AnyColor Inc management, and not buy stocks connected directly to all AnyColor Inc nor their shareholders.
But why am I discussing this?
Why should non-vtuber fans care?
What I'm about to discuss now is an ongoing allegation that makes all the know facts even worse. If you support Palestine, you especially need to know about this ongoing allegation:
On Feb 5, ITOCHU Corp announced they would end their contract with an Israeli Defense Firm that they started March 2023- around the same time Nijisanji EN would annouced the termination without informing Selen (now Doki) that she was terminated. ITOCHU is a known shareholder of AnyColor Inc and does has the power to ask for public distractions. They are a monster firm among Japanese companies.
I cannot endorse #SinkTheYacht knowing Nijisanji livers are some of the worst collectively and consistently paid company VTubers in the industry, but if folks want to boycott AnyColor Inc's ceo, owners, shareholders, and management for their associations and ties to indirectly causing an ongoing genocide- then I support you. Sony Group Corp Japan, Bilibili Inc, & FreakOut Holdings Inc are a few shareholders that you can file public complaints towards about AnyColor's behavior and be wary of when choosing vtubers, streamers, youtubers, etc to support. But again ITOCHU and AnyColor's relationship is an allegation and speculation.
In my opinion
From an outsider perspective I believe an investigation into Nijisanji as a whole should've happened last year when so many people left or appeared to have left from management based pressure.
But as someone who holds many of the remaining livers with respect (and is a Kyomie) if indeed Nijisanji EN is telling the truth about livers and management bullying + doing nothing to stop it, then yes- every person responsible for ongoing bullying of at least 3 years should be terminated and black listed from the vtubing industry.
That all being said (if my gut is right) and none/the majority of the EN livers are not bullies then I also believe all currently contracted EN livers should be allowed to press charges aganist Nijisanji EN & AnyColor Inc for
1. Public defamation on an international scale due to the termination wording
2. Cuts to their already weird pay caused by the company's annoucements on Feb 5 & 6 2024
3. All documented mismanagement and bullying they've reported since being employed that led to emotional, physical, and financial losses
4. Losses to old and new merch sales the same week of Feb 5, 2024
The wording of the termination of Selen Tatsuki should be headed as a warning to an ongoing and well publicly documented management issues with AnyColor Inc and all their branches. If you're a vtuber who has or is planning to join Nijisanji EN- please get an attorney or lawyer if you choose to audition or are currently work for AnyColor Inc who's familiar with your nation's laws and Japan's laws. And remember to everyone, it takes hard work but being indie is possible- you don't need a company.
Thank you for reading this whole post and all fans please make the decisions and adjustments accordingly in regards to not #Sink TheYacht in such a fucking stupid fashion- don't be like the bullies who are managing your favorites. And god speed to all the EN Livers at KuroColor Inc who may end up seeing this on your private accounts- please know your fans will support you no matter what decisions you make but they hate your company and management for treating you like shit behind closed doors and out in the public. And if any of you do listen to my advice and find a legal expert to help you out, don't tell your management nor coworkers/friends/family, doubly if you don't have a copy of your most recent contract renewal/contract. Alright? Snakes can pass for tall grass, you need to be prepared to get bitten by the most unsuspecting blades when navigating your rights as a contracted streamer, entertainer, and employee.

I thought Nijisanji couldn't get any worse but somehow this black company became a shade darker with each passing days. Like their leaked contract is just insane 💀
Tumblr media
"We are not going to give you any support but you must give up your earnings to our company." Then what is the point of joining a Vtuber Agency if you have to pay for everything anyway? No wonder Selen had to spend 15k for her music video that Niji took down and made 0 profit . This is why Niji was/is the most profitable agency and why Riku could buy a yatch while Yagoo doesn't.
Bare minimun investment for maximum profit, classic capitalism...
Tumblr media
Oh you got a copyright strike on your video? Though luck the management won't help you.
Even the greediest YouTube MCN would resolve copyright strike and dispute but this Vtuber agency won't. Do you want your talent to make money or not?! This made the downfall of ID branch worse for me because it is clear that the company doesn't care about it's talents, the EN branch is more profitable than ID/KN and this is how they treated their EN talents.
"ID branch failed because lack of interest." Bullshit, it's because you didn't give your SEA talents enough support and attention they needed. Also being a Vtuber in Indonesia is quite a privileged job because it is expensive!
More expensive than being a Vtuber in Japan or the west due to the massive currency difference between IDR and dollar. You'll have to spend 15 million rupiah just to buy a mid range entry level gaming laptop/PC alone

Seeing the Nijisanji drama is like walking out on my porch and seeing a burning parade float for a show I don't watch in the middle of my yard.

Regarding The Nijisanji Selen Tatsuki Situation
My statement here is gonna be a bit longer since I don't have to deal with Twitter's word cap.
I've been watching the whole Nijisanji Selen situation. To say that I'm disgusted by the actions of Nijisanji and their unfair treatment of their talents, would be an understatement.
I say this because I had plans to release keychains of Niji EN livers later this month...
These are now canceled
I was still in the sketching phase of the designs so I really don't lose anything from canceling this set. I was also going to open up commissions later this week as well. I accept fandom artwork, but from now on I will not draw nor do any coms for Nijisanji art.
After everything I've read and seen, I cannot in good faith support a company that unfairly treats its talents.
Please support Dokibird, that's Selen Alt that she wants her followers to follow.

On the topic of Nijisanji EN being shit, i think this is an appropriate time to remind everyone that when Cyyu (aka Alejandro Saab, aka the voice of your fav hsr/genshin characters) auditioned for Nijisanji EN, they told him he would have to stop voice acting if he wanted to join, and that he would have to drop his current VA manager.

Thinking about fantasy contexts with "battlemages"/militarized use of magic in regularized formations as essentially similar to the effects of gunpowder artillery, ranging all the way up to equivalents to early 20th century QF artillery for some contexts where magic can be extremely destructive.
Of course, the effects of this on the rest of the military system require a lot of thinking through- does this lead to the devolution of destructive magic to the common soldiery, like with gunpowder weapons? Or are things limited to efforts to adapt with mostly muscle-powered weapons to this reality?
For that matter, what does an army that is fully airmobile thanks to fantasy airships look like, operationally? Are they able to break reliance on forage to some extent?
